I don't like to toot my own horn but I did mention Aberdeen's xG being atrocious a few months back and that they were therefore due a bad run... 

 

And they certainly are on a bad run. Momentum certainly swung away from them. Cannae buy a win - feel sorry for them (not).

That's the thing. You didn't need to be Nostradamus to see it coming (Aberdeen hitting a rough spell and Rangers overtaking them).

 

Some who were caught up in the hysterical reaction, not so much. You could understand concern for the situation but concerns about not even finishing third 😂😂😂

Our xG was 3.43 tonight. 

 

A big improvement. 

 

I'd like to see it spread to our away games now.

That's the challenge. 

 

I might be wrong but if our away form mirrored our home, we'd be top of the league (imagine that).

For me, it's more important developing any promising youngsters.

 

To convert what are essentially dead rubbers into 'must win' games would be to miss an excellent opportunity.

 

The aim should be to establish if the likes of Nsiala, Rice, A.N Other? are good enough or not.

 

No reason why we can't be competitive and win most games as well.

Can you quote any poster who claimed we wouldn't finish 3rd? 

 

Or has your excitement of being second made you all giddy and you've just made that up?

 

If you can't, I think you should post a retraction.

Big Nsiala, Jefte or Hagi (I don't usually go for players who didn't finish the game, but his passing was football porn)

So are you dropping Dio or Raskin for Rice?

 

Who's the a.n.other? Lovelace? Anyone else you've seen in the B Team who you think is better than those in the 1st team?
