Will Robinson's 'brave move' spark a reaction?
[BBC] A few months ago on Red Tinted Glasses I confidently predicted Aberdeen wouldn't need to worry about those behind us. Well, after this weekend it's safe to say I am nervously looking over my shoulder and that trip to Paisley is definitely going to a 'six-pointer'. We have found ourselves in this position due to poor results, poor performances and poor recruitment.
The club need to take a long hard look at themselves, from players right up to the boardroom. It's harsh to judge Stephen Robinson based on two games, however he called out the players after the weekend defeat at Ibrox. While I don't think he is wrong in his overall assessment, it's a brave move for a manager just in the door.
Robinson joins Jimmy Thelin and Peter Leven in voicing similar concerns this season about performances being unacceptable. Ultimately the buck stops with the players. Robinson wants a reaction and the trip to face his old club St Mirren after the international break is the perfect place to get it - but do the players have what it takes?
The message is simple. Do your talking on the pitch, fight for this club and get us out the mess you have played your part putting us into. Glen Schreuder can be found at Red Tinted Glasses
