‘Fuming’, ‘painful’ – Aberdeen fans react with fury after Stephen Glass’ side lose to St Mirren

Aberdeen fans have reacted angrily to the side’s 1-0 defeat to St Mirren in Paisley last night.

Connor Ronan’s curling finish for the home side put the tin lid on a miserable evening for the Red Army, who would have been feeling optimistic following last Tuesday’s 1-1 home draw with champions Rangers.

In the end, they watched their side lose a SEVENTH Premiership game on the road this term. 

Only rock-bottom Dundee have a worse away points total than the Dons do from their 11 matches away from Pittodrie in the league.

Worst still, four of the seven defeats have come against sides currently in the bottom six, including a dire double against the Buddies, who beat Aberdeen 3-2 at St Mirren Stadium earlier in the campaign.

What’s the problem? Is it tactics or team selection? A lack of creativity preventing the Reds from breaking down defensive opponents? Or are the players simply not ‘up’ for these games?

Whatever the answer is, Aberdeen fans are not happy.

While the above tweet lists the normally aggressive and influential midfield pairing of Lewis Ferguson and Scott Brown among the players who failed to perform in Paisley, it was difficult to find a Don who earned ‘pass marks’ from the supporters on social media (David Bates, maybe).

Even break-out right-back star Calvin Ramsay, the subject of so much transfer interest from England and further afield, was criticised for not getting out to close down attacker Ronan quickly enough for the Buddies’ winner:

Meanwhile, the fans below are of the view ‘easy target’ Dean Campbell – another youth academy product who is among those mentioned above – shouldn’t be singled out by social media users, as he was playing out of position at left-back.

Daniel Simpson added soon-to-be-out-of-contract winger Ryan Hedges to the mix of players whose performances he feels deserve scrutiny.

Hedges was hooked for Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on 60 minutes, after Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass said prior to kick-off he felt the Welshman had been affected by speculation over his future.

The account below questioned the team selection from Glass and his coaching staff, though, asking why – with wingers on the bench – central midfielder/utility man Funso Ojo was playing on the left flank:

Some turned to Aberdeen’s grim stats on the road this season, as well as an increasingly bad run against St Mirren in Paisley:

There seemed to be a consensus among the Red Army on Twitter that there is still a lot of work for Glass and his staff to do to reshape the Aberdeen squad, with less than a week remaining of the January transfer window.

Although they’ve already added midfielder Dante Polvara from the US college system, and winger Vicente Besuijen from Dutch side ADO Den Haag, supporters are convinced more outgoings and incomings are necessary:
