It’s obviously different players but it really is chalk and cheese.
- In that season we looked like a side who could score at will. We were willing to be caught out at times because the belief seemed to be ‘if you score two, no worries we can and will score three’.
- Davis would find space in behind and feed our attackers chance after chance. Then last year he played deeper and not as side.. This year he’s doing the same. I think it’s tactical. I don’t like it.
- We look so much slower. Everything is done with two or three touches too many. At our best two years ago we were so fast to run at teams and make two or three key passes and then create a chance. Today we looked like we could play for 2 hours longer and still wouldn’t create enough clear cut chances.
- We look better defensively. I put that down to us having more of the ball though. And perhaps less willing to take risks in attack and as such are better defensively and more solid. I don’t see us conceding many goals this year.
- The players we’ve got now are a higher quality transfer fee wise (Clarke, Philogene) etc but are they more fun than our previous lads in the same position like Broadhead, Burns and Chaplin? I enjoyed us more two years ago than now. Not necessarily the winning even but the way we played was genuinely at the envy of fanbases everywhere across the country. We were that must-see team who you’d guaranteed would be involved in great games. We’ve not been in four games this season and all of them have been poor spectacles.
- Ultimately.. I just think we’re so very different and sadly just not as enjoyable as before. Hopefully a couple of signings and it might click again. But I can’t help but fear that momentum and that incredible two year run we had where everyone was enjoying such a crazy incredible ride (fans, players, staff) that the winning feeling and momentum we had is just not something we can just get back. |  |

When we sold Omari, which was inevitable, I was genuinely amazed at the amount of people who thought it wasn't an issue and wouldn't effect the team, in terms
of quality. [Post edited 24 Aug 0:25]

The side that gained promotoon from L1 didn't have Omari & were much, much, much more exciting and enjoyable to watch than now.
Squad back then did evolve into a cohesive well oiled and drilled unit.
So far this season the squad's looking about as cohesive, well oiled and drilled as a jigsaw puzzle chucked into a loose bag.
Hardly surprising considering we're 3 league games into a rebuild, with several replacement pieces not yet having had time for their rough edges to be knocked off or to synch smoothly with their nearest partners. Not to mention a couple of other replacement pieces not having even arrived in the building yet (Agent Evri is bad enough at domestic deliveries; any package from Norway is inevitably going to discombobulate them & might land over a garden fence somewhere in Aberdeen).
Need to be patient & not lose heart. |  |
