I was out cycling making most of this beautiful weather so i missed the game
But yes definitely very fair comment, four years in second place but are the funds being spared to help bridge a gap between us and Celtic?
Some very large losses this year on top of the last few years in terms of personnel of which haven't always been adequately replaced
I like Stevie May and it`s a shame he never showed his potential at SHW and PNE but certainly not a player who works best as lone striker which McInnes always uses
Definitely need reinforcements and a proper left back again Considine is not the answer there against quality opposition, he is targeted as a weak link
Expect greater challenge from Hibs, Rangers and perhaps Killie and Hearts so a stronger squad is needed
Not sure how good the youth development is these days I know Willie Miller put a hell of a lot into it and we saw the likes of Ryan Jack, Fraser Fyvie, Jack Grimmer, Peter Pawlettand Ryan Fraser look very promising but he`s gone a few years now, always spoke of youth development as a ten year process.  We let Lawrence Shankland go last year and he`s scored for fun at Ayr United (28 goals in 31 apps) which has led to Dundee apparently offering 250k

Watched most of the game in the pub before ours.

Aberdeen typically really poor v sevco under mcinnes,and generally speaking look weaker than last season. Cosgrove in particular looks a real pudding. You guys need 2 or 3 players quickly or no way will you be finishing 2nd again.

May was a good player but his knees have done him in, he has no pace to speak of now.

As for sevco, they look a bit stronger and better organised at the back, more fight but lacking in real quality. Gerrard acting like a classless dick afterwards,seige mentality installed after game 1.
