As always, a warm welcome to a new Aberdeen manager. Our collective issue is not with him but in the overall process that has taken place in us ending up in this position.
Most are yet to be convinced, and thus it's over to Robinson to win football matches to sway the doubters.
Aside from everything else, one of the main factors for me was we needed to appoint a new manager who has experience with teams dominating the majority of the ball. Goodwin and Thelin struggled to recreate their counter-attacking success when moving here. This feels similar.
🔑 Mitchel Frame completed the second-most key passes (3) of any player on the pitch last night.
The young full back is showing plenty of promise with his recent performances. Here's a deep dive into why he's a glimmer of hope amidst a chaotic period.

Shout out to the marketing team. They do a cracking job and are at the mercy of what's happening on the pitch/club, which dictates opinion on their content. That's not an easy way to work. There will no doubt have been some trepidation about launching this from their end as well.
Another game goes by and the quality of what was served up was pretty contemptible. Had a few 'moments' at the start of the game and the towards the end of the second half but overall, horrendous.
You can pretty much gather all you need to know from the momentum graph for that.
Graeme Shinnie tonight:
⚔️ Won the most duels on the night and of any Aberdeen player in a single game all season (15)
⚽️ Completed the most passes in the match (35)
🛑 Had the most tackles in the match (6)
A grim watch overall but another battling display from the captain.
Lots and lots of questions at the moment, very little answers.

Aberdeen's Scottish Cup dominance rolls on...
And, as if Jeff Bezos himself was watching the Dons last night, there's currently a new offer of 27% off Red Redemption over on Amazon: tinyurl.com/2cmpnndc
This guy. Our Scottish Cup winning captain. Rolled back the years tonight. The years march on and catch up with us all eventually, but you cannot question his commitment to this club.

Dennis Geiger's Aberdeen debut was a decent one, considering that's his first minutes of football this season.
1st for tackles (3)
2nd for interceptions (3)
4th for defensive contributions (8)
4th for recoveries (8)
More positives from Sunday: tinyurl.com/57f2ctf3
With Wednesday looming, we've tried to find something to cling onto from Sunday. There were a few positive signs... intensity, creating chances, and the midde of the park looks more promising. However, We’ll need a lot more at Pittodrie.
Monday debrief:
tinyurl.com/57f2ctf3
“Simmy” will officially be launched at Pittodrie on Thursday May 14, when Neil Simpson will be joined by Richard Gordon for a chat about his insightful autobiography. I’m very much looking forward to it at the venue where Simmy enjoyed so many famous victories!
After the news earlier today, some clarity is beginning to emerge at Pittodrie. With the managerial situation nearing resolution "imminently", it feels like a reset moment ahead of what is a make or break week.
On what comes next: tinyurl.com/bdhy8xu9
Tony Doc was always the brains behind the Del operation anyway... 😉
Absolutely brilliant to have him back on board. Great first season at Dundee, led them to their highest finish this century and nominated for PFA Manager of the Year. Should hopefully be the boost we need.
Agree top six is away. We are given a 4.6% chance to get it... just think there's a great chance there for more silverware, which is strengthened by getting a new face in. Horneland was leaked to the media a week ago so a bit concerning it continues to drag on.
As posted elsewhere, really hope and believe we should be appointing a manager before next week's Scottish Cup tie. There's a great opportunity to win the cup again this year but the whole place needs a massive lift for that to happen. Can only see one winner between us and Motherwell as it stands.
A detailed look at Aberdeen's set-piece woes and why, in our opinion, a specialist set-piece coach should be part of the club’s rebuild.
