Saintgaz Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I have no idea why but i really think we will get a result on monday. So much so im sticking £10 on St. Mirren -1 @ 8/1 in willyhill. Anyone else sharing the confidence. We always seem to do well on TV games with the exception of the OF tv games we tend to get a result. # believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seem to do well on TV games with the exception of the OF tv games we tend to get a result. # believe No idea if it will come on Monday but every game is an opportunity to end in a win for us. It'll come when we least expect it. One day our players will get that wave of having hit rock bottom and will turn up with genuine fight in their guts. Sometimes, with the best will in the world, that can take time - we all go through periods like that. What is needed to minimise the delay to a return to form is patience and belief. IMO what the players need is calmness and support from the management team and NOT the bollocking that everyone assumes will be successful. When I've been under pressure and a manager hassles me to sort it out and make progress I usually send him away to give me peace and work it out on my own. A good manager will understand that. Having said all that, it would be nice if that could happen sometime before Christmas. Edited September 27, 2013 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not a man on earth I'd tolerate a bollocking from regardless of how badly I was doing my job. I imagine professional footballers would respond the same way.

chalky1 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Maybe we should all bet against St.Mirren, that way we can again moan that they have let us down when they bust your coupon with the added bonus of picking up 3 points. It's a win win for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest somner9 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 in the words of auld Winnie Churchill.....

Bahoken rounding clangers after a Dons defensive ball up..? How many so called saints fans want to win this game..? How many so called saints fans want to give the team their support..? Managers, players, directors and sadly some of our well kent fans come and go.... but..! The Saints Are Coming......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo_smfc Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Exactly. ..if your going to moan about it then dont turn up on monday..simple as. I will be there in the west stand as usual giving my full vocal support. If you love the club, turn up and show your support. As the old cliched saying goes 'form is temporary.....'

Drew Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) It doesn't matter a jot whether I am confident or otherwise, the big issue just now seems to be the confidence of the players (or, more precisely, the lack thereof). Indeed, when I seen this thread title, I assumed that this was what it was about. As for my own position, I genuinely don't feel I have a great deal to be confident about. I just spent my lunchbreak with a (long-suffering) Dons supporter. All is well in his football world just now, as well it might be. After decades of watching Aberdeen teams, and managers come and go, he now has a sense that they have a balanced squad, with players playing in their preferred and natural positions. The manager's tactics seem to make sense, and there are no baffling decisions being made in terms of line-ups, tactics, or substitutions. They have pace in their team, and know how to utilise this, and are scoring plenty of goals. Sound familiar? Thought not. Form might well be temporary, but how do we measure 'temporary'? With the proverbial piece of string? There are chronic problems - not acute - at our club just now. Entrenched, ingrained issues that require more than a win on Monday to resolve. A win would be a start, of course, but I don't think this is just about form. Radical change is now required, but I can't see where it is coming from unless the manager is replaced, or new owners come into the club. I'll be there on Monday and will neither boo nor verbally abuse our players. In saying that, as things stand, I'm not remotely confident. If, however, someone can give me reason to be, I'd more than welcome it. Edited September 27, 2013 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintgaz Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Never know might have a blinder against his old club and show Danny what he's been missing.

Smeato Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'll be there, providing my support. And if any wank near me starts hurling abuse at any of our players, regardless of how poor they play, then I'll break them. The team needs support not redicule. Leave that shite for the papers. I think there is a possibility in grinding out a result here. Something crap like a 1-0 snorefest with a shitty penalty for a goal. Basically, like the Dons game at the end of last season except with us squeezing a goal in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAWZ Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have hopes for a scrappy 1-0 win, as described by others already. However, the OP is a bit too optimistic for me. I can't see any way we will win by 2 goals. I'd love to be proved wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
