Well I think this answers the question about what comparable level the Scottish Premiership is 😂
Aberdeen are championship level, no more.
Their front two and Shinnie are definitely playing above Championship level. We’ve not helped ourselves at all but they’ve been very very good to the point where it could be 5 or 6 already…
First time we've come up against a proper high press in pre-season and our centre backs have crumbled.
What is really concerning is the fact that we look miles off the pace. Has the feel of an early pre season game where the opposition have started a couple of weeks earlier.
Hopefully this will silence the Dobson doubters as he has been the only one who looks properly at it
Would Hector have been sent off in a league game? Have counted 3 bookable fouls so far.
we are are own worst enemies, but in fairness they seem to be a much better side. Was the expectation the Scottish Premier would be a closer game or were we expecting a hiding? It’s 3 but could be 6 and it’s only 30 minutes in. Hardly a confidence builder…….
Of course, Scottish Prem is just a pub league , according to many on here.
Aberdeen are evidently above League One showing and quickly spotted the gap behind CBT when he gets forward. Poor old Nessie, perhaps more comfortable in the CB pairing of a flat back 4 is hopelessly exposed plus Hector drawn out of position trying to cover him.
Back line full of holes and Aberdeen have the nous to exploit.
Getting properly found out at the back - defending weak, while passing out from Hector is very poor for somebody with a lot more capability than he is showing. Bright enough going forward without clear cut chances.
Aberdeen look very good going forward and fair play to them.
Would like to see them tighten it up at the back second half more than score a goal as doubt that will be an issue come the season’s start.
At the game, very early days obviously but hope our signings prove to be upgrades on what we had last season. Not sure yet. Definitely need some proper quality through the doors. Kirk can do one, he doesn’t give a flying one. Hector and ness getting a proper run around.

Nobody's winning promotion with those weak mentalities.

HMS Piss the League.
Much prefer 4-3-3 with our squad.
Maybe it will work when we have a left footed wing back & a left footed centre back on the pitch.
Morris (Aberdeen right winger) has torn us to bits on their right side today.

Defensively nothing new to say on previous comments. Going forward we've had some nice build up but only really 1 real chance and it fell to Kirk.

Positives: Fraser, AM-B, Dobson
Meh... May, Asiimwe.
