Lots of numbers. Not a lot of shots. Trying to pin down Aberdeen’s struggles in front of goal via the data. www.afc1903.com/p/open-play

stats.afc1903.com updated after today’s loss. A nice one for those who share the Skovdahl opinion on statistics. Liam Morrison most completed passes. 2 of which actually went forward. Before we even get into the goal conceded.

Yeah I almost put him in, I was reading back on some old reports, this is from the United Ambrose game: Reading that full piece is enough to make you greet: open.substack.com/pub/afc1903/...

Yeah his record was good against the better teams. There's always a balance. I think it will be standard 4-2-3-1 and we just have to hope we can keep it tight. Not too confident in our backline or frontline to come up with the goods but we shall see!

Tails I suppose but that was only pointing out what was blindingly obvious. Seven goals conceded to United, none in open play.

Interesting release from the CIES - football-observatory.com/LettreHebdom... Aberdeen going well on rising talents (clearly part of recruitment strategy) less so on u21s.

Latest from @afc1903.com is well worth your time. On the enigma, wrapped inside a mystery, wrapped inside a big galoot/footballing maverick (delete as per your own prejudice) that is Papa Gueye:

It’s the same on RedTV! Two offside chances before the Nisbet goal.

Just saw this, they definitely didn’t sit deep haha, will have to watch back later. Still lacking on the final ball but team is fun to watch at moment.

AFC 1903 @afc1903.com · 26/04/2025

Not a Hibs expert but Campbell in for Hoillet (plus Bowie’s pace) maybe = Hibs press high like they did last time at Pittodrie (see pic) Dons likely to respond with longer balls to try and spring Topi and Morris on the break. Could be a game of chicken. I could be totally wrong.

Morning bump for this one.

AFC 1903 @afc1903.com · 23/04/2025

Thanks for sharing. Agreed, Aberdeen struggled to stop crosses, as Saturday again showed. Be interesting to see how aggressive Hibs press. They won at Pittodrie, but Dons got in behind a few times. That’s become a bigger part of game over last few months.

First Sam Summer of the season. 27c here today and a cup final to look forward to. A perfect Saturday. Up the Dons.

AFC 1903 @afc1903.com · 17/04/2025

TL:DR - Aberdeen are playing more long balls now than at the start of the season.

Some thoughts on tomorrow’s game. Probably the first time Jeppe Okkels has been compared to Derek McKay.

Palaversa and Clarkson, pinging long balls to Pape to beat the Motherwell press?

Maybe Bazza will go on a euro run, get the job and we can enjoy the inevitable Robson-style collapse in season 25/26?

Brilliant first goal from Nisbet. Four goals in his last five games, plus his assist last week.
