We asked you what nobody is talking about at Aberdeen, be it good or bad.
Here’s what you had to say:
Graham: The last couple of results were how I expected this season to be. The initial winning run was unsustainable. All that has happened is too many games too close together, that’s all. Weekend off. Still brilliant being an Aberdeen fan just now.
Brian: I take a lot of encouragement from the progress made so far. However, I would like to see more homegrown players coming through the ranks, if not from Aberdeen itself then more Scots in the team.
Chris: It’s impossible to lay any form of doubt at the manager, we have had a better start than anyone dreamed of. Looking at the current defensive frailty and our lack of goals, confidence is low. I’m not sure if shuffling the deck chairs as much as we do is the answer. We have weaknesses but a level of continuity might help.
Mike: I worry about the legs in the middle of the park. Both Graeme Shinnie and Sivert Nilsen are 33 and showing it a bit mobility-wise. Unfortunately for us I don’t think we are as good when we play without both of them.
Richard: Everybody has got carried away with the start to Aberdeen’s season and it’s naive to think after six signings that the woes of recent seasons are gone. It will take patience until Jimmy Thelin gets it right. The supporters need to keep on encouraging the team until they turn a corner.
Justin: There are a few weak spots in the squad that need filling, adding a few quality signings would hopefully cement our position in the league. Not that all the players haven’t done well, it’s just a wee tweak needed.
Stuart: The team needs to re-group before a busy winter programme of games. Onwards and upwards.
John: What has been most impressive this season is how quickly Thelin has implemented his style of play using mostly players who were desperately poor last season. It fills me with a lot of hope knowing that Jimmy will identify new players who will better fit his system and that will only help in achieving more consistent performances.
Gordon: The vast majority of the squad are the same players who were abjectly awful last year so we shouldn’t be surprised at the last five results. Jimmy must strengthen all departments of the team in January to salvage something from this season. I really struggle to see where our next three points are coming from with the current crop just not good enough.
