#28 A Rough Week For The Flock

from Sheepfiddlers - Bleating From The Micro Climate Hosted by Sheepfiddlers ASC

Aberdeen are struggling for goals, the pressure is building, and Kilmarnock are standing between the Dons and Hampden. It’s been another frustrating week for Aberdeen. We look back at a difficult night at Celtic Park before turning our attention to the goalless draw with Kilmarnock at Pittodrie — a result that leaves Aberdeen without a league goal in their last four matches. We discuss the tactical changes, the constant half-time substitutions, the lack of goals and Stephen Robinson’s post-match comments. Is the manager identifying problems quickly and trying to fix them, or are Aberdeen’s starting line-ups and systems becoming a concern? We also get the fans’ views on the current situation. Plus, we round up the latest Scottish football news, including the SPFL summit in St Andrews and the growing concerns around the pathway from youth football into first-team football. And then there’s the small matter of Kilmarnock… again. Aberdeen travel to Rugby Park in the League Cup quarter-final with a place at Hampden on the line. No draw. No second chance. Win and Aberdeen are into a national semi-final. We preview the game, debate the starting XI and formation, ask where the goals are coming from and discuss just how important Saturday could be for Stephen Robinson. Also this week: 🐑 John Bleatin Section 🐑 Bleat of the Week 🐑 Sheepish Predictions 🐑 Fan reactions 🐑 Scottish Premiership round-up 🐑 Plenty of Aberdeen debate Can Aberdeen finally find the answers — and book their place at Hampden? Real fans. Real opinions. The real Aberdeen. 🔴 COME ON YOU REDS!
