    I said before the game not to take this game lightly. Aberdeen would be right up for it.

    Aberdeen fans must be questioning where this performance has come from. Where has this team been all season? They did batter Rangers earlier in the season and have shown glimpses they can play.

    Great from the bbc- let’s focus on the Aberdeen manager at half time.

    Aberdeen have looked right up for it meanwhile we’ve just turned up expecting to win, need to step it up big time.

    I've switched to Rooster Cogburn for half time. Can't hack the pundits on the bbc

    Yang has some ability, and has shown he has flashes and potential, but it is NOT on the left side.

    I can think of only one thing he has done on the left all season, and it was early on in the campaign when he came on as a sub, but apart from that anything he has done that has been half impressive have all come from the RH side. If he is to play, play him there, fight for the spot with Kuhn and Forrest. Palma is a natural left sided player, so why Yang?

    It is not just today, it has been all season. Even last week, what did he do that justified selection today ahead of Palma, unless Palma is still that far undercooked that he can't do more than 20-30min?

    I just don't get it. :39:

    That said, Yang is not the only one that has been underwhelming. Taylor has gifted possession, CalMac looks off the pace still, the game seems to be passing by MO'R, and Hatate hasn't had quite the impact we'd wanted here.

    Aberdeen deserve all the credit there. They came into this match with a game plan and are well organized. In Miovski they have a striker who is always going to be a threat, so why were the defence so asleep for that? Surely BR would've talked to them through the week about how to manage him... and yet, withion 2-3 min... ?

    Aberdeen have also been closing us down and all the work they have done defensively since Leven took back over from Warnock is impressive.

    The only thing that has gone wrong for them was the opportunism of Kyogo latching onto an error, whihc allowed Kuhn to equalize. It was not because of good teamwork, good structure or tactics. It was pure opportunism seizing on an Aberdeen error and credit to Kyogo and ultimately Kuhn for scoring, but seriously,

    BR needs to turn this around at HT, because what we've been doing has been all too easy for the Reds to deal with.

    That and Yang being nothing more than an impact sub (if that) atm.

    An infuriating watch that. Making it very difficult for ourselves and keeping Aberdeen in the game.

    Hopefully BR is booting arses now. So many players off it and supported by a few who aren't at the required level.

    Iwata, Barnardo, Palma and Idah for the second half subs.

    I agree with this. But don’t get the shade thrown at Forrest. I know Jamesy has phoned in a few performances against the huns, especially at Mordor. But he’s great on the ball, he’s still got something to offer here.


    Yang should be subbed and never play again. So far off it, it’s frightening.

    would get Iwata and Idah on asap.

    Yep, tricky one this. McGregor and Hatate both won't last and MOR has been poor as well. Tomoki and Bernardo will both see action soon enough.

    It’s mental that the “handball” is even being debated as to whether it’s a penalty or not.

    The game is completely * when penalties apparently should be given for that. What was Scales supposed to do?
