Champions League groups is great. Unfortunate about Smith though.

With Smith its only slightly disappointing with Goncalves and Sneddon more than capable of doing the job. Would have loved to have added either another good youth prospect of one with European experiance before the Champions League but nevermind​
 

September


We beat Porto in Portugal
League form dips
Dumped out of League Cup by the mighty Partick




Fixtures




Dundee Utd 1-1 Aberdeen
Goncalves


Not an impressive performance lucky to escape Scumdee with a point




Aberdeen 0-0 Leverkusen - Champions League Match 1


A Bit disappointed we didn't take our chances when they came but still a point on our Champions League Debut

View attachment 290282




Aberdeen 0-0 Hearts


So far we've been almost as boring as we've been frustrating




Partick 3-1 Aberdeen - League Cup 3rd Round
Ekman


Future aint looking bright if this is my next back of youngsters




Aberdeen 2-0 Ross County
Cabestany
Hayes


Finally back to winning ways. On a side note this what Derek Sneddon's 100th league game




Porto 0-3 Aberdeen - Champions League Match 2
Goncalves
Cabestany
O'G


We made an incredible start with Goncalves playing through the pain barrier opened the scoring in the 5th minute. The 55th Minute was just as exciting as Cabestany doubled our lead and a late O'G sealed the deal. Brilliant win

Our league form has not been satisfactory. Thrown away far to many points with draws racking up 4 already. Squad still getting used to mid week matches and rotation i believe






Europe

Not what i had in mind but over the moon with our start. Hoped for at least a point against Bayern but expected nothing from the Porto match and we ended up top of the group. Amazing

The Spanish rookie has made the stunning start which i sort of expected from a Bayern apprentice with Spanish Blood


 

October


I loose to the two club i hate most back to back
Move up to 2nd in the league but still a long way to Celtic




Fixtures




Kilmarnock 1-2 Aberdeen
Fulton
Goncalves


Got as far as a 2-0 lead then barely held on to get the win




Dundee 1-3 Aberdeen
Goncalves
Hayes
O'G


3 quick goals then rest for City!




Aberdeen 0-3 Man City - Champions League Match 3


!!European wake up call!!




Aberdeen 1-2 Rangers
Goncalves


Total garbage! 6 shots on goal to 1 and they win 2-1 what a joke I HATE RANGERS!!! Must do better against Hibs




Aberdeen 3-2 Hibs
Goncalves
Smith
Sneddon


All 3 of our strikers score to put us 2nd at thee nd of the month






League
View attachment 290362


Were 2nd but all the draws we accumulated early on is what's keeping us 7 miles down the road from Celtic






Europe

Half way through and i guess we weren't going to be top of the league for long, but if we finish 2nd i would be over the moon

Michal Soldan

Looks like it could be his last season at the club. Along with Juste they are not signing new contracts and with only 20 months left if they don't sign up I'll have to sell them for the cash

 

November


Aberdeen out of Europe kicking and screaming
Celtic have no problems beating us




Fixtures




Man City 2-0 Aberdeen - Champions League Match 4


Didn't feel an ounce of confidence so rested a few players who were struggling to be fit and set out to be ultra defensive and catch them on the counter so as soon as they scored 1st it was all over for the poor old Dons




St Johnstone 0-0 Aberdeen


Both ourselves and Celtic suffer a European hangover. No excuses from Aberdeen as only half the team played in Manchester




Aberdeen 5-0 Inverness CT
Juste
Prihoda
Hughes 2
Hayes


With Leverkusen just 4 days away and Inverness having an awful season i decided to play a team of back ups so we should be fully fit and ready for the trip to Germany




Leverkusen 4-2 Aberdeen - Champions League match 5
Sneddon
Daehil


We were torn apart again and were 3-0 down at half time and had no choice but to go for it pulled it back to 3-2 but a 4th Leverkusen goal was the end


View attachment 290495

This defeat ended our chances of getting to the last 16 helped by Porto destroying Man City. After our first two games i started to believe we could get to the last 16 but now I'd be delighted with a Europa League spot




Aberdeen 2-0 Motherwell
Goncalves
Sneddon


Happy to get back to the SPL and warm up for a must win game at Parkhead on Wednesday




Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen


Didn't take our early chances, poor in front of goal and was left having to go for it at the end to try and get a result and that's probably the league and season over unless we beat Porto and Leverkusen drop point to Man City




Queen Of the South 0-1 Aberdeen - Scottish cup 4th Round
Smith


It was a long way from being pretty but it as the youth team and back ups so happy just to have stayed in the competition




Aberdeen 0-1 Porto - Champions League match 6


We go out but we went out fighting but like so often this season we just failed to find the goals

No real change except were almost certainly in a battle for 2nd After Celtic proved to be far to strong for us

3 games 3 defeats leaves us going out with only the big win in Porto to take away from the competition

Lluis Juste

Like Soldan Juste isn't signing a new contract and his time may be up by the summer especially as i don't look like fulfilling a promise to him that we'd win the league​

Decent go at Europe and you need to pick yourself up in the league. If it's a consolation I think Juste is Juste about replaceable but Soldan isn't.

Yeah i have plenty future talented Centebacks at the club already in the U19's too so thats very true Mr Golem. More news on Soldan in the upcoming update
 


December

Fixtures




Aberdeen 4-2 Dundee Utd

Goncalves
Sneddon


Spent most the game fighting from behind but despite all the games we've had recently we had the better finish and ended up comfortable winners




Hearts 1-3 Aberdeen
Goncalves
Sneddon 2


Again we were forced to come from behind to rescue the 3 points after not playing great




Ross County 0-2 Aberdeen
Prihoda
Soldan


3rd game in a row were we ere totally reliant on our second half performance to get the 3 points. We'd only have about 10 points based on our first 45 minutes




Aberdeen 3-0 Kilmarnock
Sneddon
OG 2


Well i guess if we can't win by ourselves I'll happily accept it from Killie




Rangers 0-1 Aberdeen
Cabestany


A nice bit of revenge for our loosing earlier in the season




Hibs 0-2 Aberdeen
Sneddon 2


Only sad part was Sneddon missed a sitter for the hattrick




Aberdeen 3-2 Dundee
Smith 3


Cameron Smith came back from forgottonsville to grab a hattrick. We had to wait 77 minutes and to be down to 10 men before we got going though

Aberdeen 2-1 St Johnstone

Except for Goncalves this was our most dominating display this season




Aberdeen 2-0 Celtic
Cabestany 2


The top of the table battle was settled by a inspired spanian who has suddenly decided to add scoring to his accolades




Motherwell 3-1 Aberdeen
Sneddon


Well beating Celtic was for nothing then. Awful again! As well as giving us the lead Derek Sneddon pulls on the Dons top for the 150th time still 5 months short of his 20th birthday




Aberdeen 1-0 Celtic - Scottish Cup 5th round

The dons have there busiest January window so far



We have a new No1 and 3 new youth/back up players


GK - Daniel Monnard

The Basel keeper joins us in a position where i felt we were weakest. Basel were easy enough to deal with and with some convincing Monnard joins




Other newbie's


DC - Max Lecomte

French defender was a freebie in December who is already out on loan




MC - Ricardo Seabra
View attachment 290932


Bought for his awesome name and to supply more depth to the midfield with Fulton leaving




ML - Flavio
View attachment 290933


Like Lecomte Flavio was on a free and has been brought in as back up but if he performs he'll be given his chance in the starting 11




AT - Jens Kardum

I Spend the month of August trying to sign the Swede and in early January we finally reached an agreement with Helsingborg to give my u19's a good striker who will probably get his chances in the 1st team before the season is done




Out


One player was sold. Back up midfielder Jay Fulton was after a new contract and the Edinburgh teams were lurking over him so offered him for £1m and United came forward with the offer and away he went

Brilliant months! Also those signings look promising apart from your new no.1. Spend some more cash, he's rubbish. Great news in keeping Soldan on, though.

He's the only one thats going to be starting every game haha. Im quite happy with him got loads of potential, Scouts love him and think he's ready for the 1st team already and he's only 18!

Gap at the top opens up again thanks to a win a loss and a draw in the league
Waltz into the Scottish Cup Semi Finals

A very weird day for goals. Goncalves had 2 goals disallowed while Celtic won at home to Kilmarnock thanks to a 88th minute O'G from Clark Robertson




Aberdeen 2-2 Hearts
Goncalves
Sneddon


All the hard work our run through January is wasted from a second poor result in a row. At least Goncalves remembered how to score




Kilmarnock 0-4 Aberdeen

Soldan 2


Seems like all my aggressive team talks has finally hit home

Have a awful month in front of goal with two goals from 1 player through March
However Celtic have a worse month and the gap at the top closes a little bit
So i was laughed out of the Scotland job but i bet i wouldn't have got a result like this!

Through some force of nature or act of god we only scored once today. Should have got about 9!




Aberdeen 1-0 Rangers

Becoming a familiar score here! Struggling badly with injury's already this month was not helped with Pierce and Simao adding to Vaz,Flavio, Hughes and Seabra. Thank goodness for the international break




Dundee 0-0 Aberdeen


Awful way to end the month as we miss the chance to close the gap to Celtic as they end a even more disappointing month

3 players join from the set up. Elrick being the special one, Jess and Shearer signed for emotional reasons

 
Unlucky in the CL, you had a good start too.

That league title is so close, tou can almost put a pinky on it.

Like the look of Elrick, he has some potential
 

April


Aberdeen reach the Scottish Cup final where they will play St Johnstone
Celtic retain the title
Ross County relegated




Fixtures




Aberdeen 2-1 Hibs
Goncalves 2


Goncalves was the difference maker in a season where he's been up and down with his goals Juste makes his 100th Aberdeen league appearance. Chances of getting to 200 are slim at best




Aberdeen 3-2 Hibs - Scottish Cup Semi Final
Goncalves 2
Sneddon


Aberdeen are in the Scottish cup final after an amazing comeback from going 2-0 right after half time to finally beat hibs with Goncalves leading the way again




Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee Utd


Our display of the season but the scoring problems go on




Hibs 0-3 Aberdeen
Juste
Cabestany

That's more like it! 3rd game in a month against Hibs and we get 3 wins this being the only time it was simple
