Aberdeen Supporters React to ‘Embarrassing’ Run of Results

Following Aberdeen’s 3-1 Premiership defeat at home to Hibs, supporters shared their perspectives on the team’s performance. David commented on a perceived lack of toughness within the team, suggesting that Gavin Molloy and Leighton Clarkson, while good footballers, lack the necessary physical presence. He advocated for the acquisition of a “powerful, quick and athletic ball-winning midfielder” and a “number 10 with good feet who can create chances throughout the 90 minutes.” Ben attributed the team’s current struggles to individual errors, which he noted were absent during their strong start to the season. He specifically mentioned Sivert Nilsen and Slobodan Rubezic making “schoolboy errors,” arguing that such mistakes, leading to “two free goals” and momentum shifts, supersede tactical concerns. Despite this, Ben affirmed his “total faith in Jimmy Thelin to bounce back.” Stuart observed a significant lack of confidence within the squad, indicating that “January signings are needed.” James referenced the adage “if you keep a clean sheet you will not get beat,” criticizing Aberdeen’s central midfield for contributing to a loss of points recently. He stated that if he were Angus MacDonald and did not play next week, he “would ask for a transfer.” James also credited Hibs for their combative approach and “safety first” play, while expressing confusion over Duk’s absence from the starting lineup. Justin contrasted the team’s “amazing” start to the season with the current “string of results,” which he described as “getting a little embarrassing.” He highlighted the team’s vulnerability, stating, “We can’t be this easy to break down,” and concluded that “we need a few new players,” anticipating the transfer window. Fred drew parallels between the current performance and the previous season, noting that Aberdeen was “outplayed by Hibs today.” He pointed out a perceived inability of forwards to score without Bojan Miovski and a defense that “cannot defend,” similar to last season. Fred concluded that “the new manager bounce is evaporated” and that achieving a top-six finish “will be a challenge” based on current form.
