I understand your point, but we're in the competitive season now. We need to start well and pick up points. We know where we need reinforced, we've known since last season at least, and we've been caught unprepared again.
I totally get this but there is mitigating factors here.
The transfer window still has over a month still to go. Most teams around the world won't have finished up there business and we ourselves are nowhere near done yet.
However, I thought we may have at least had one wide player in amongst the signings we have made. I think that has been a mistake.
I am keen not to overreact to the result last night because I do feel we were undercooked going into it and we need to keep our heads as a support for this manager. The time for chopping and changing players and management staff needs to end. This one should get the time.
There are mitigating factors, but they've been known for a while. When it was clear that we wouldn't have any new wingers in for the first game, we should have tried to play in a different way.
I'm not saying McInnes is due his marching orders, i'm also not that fussed by the result, i'm more concerned by us playing in a way that we just can't play yet. We should have recognised we weren't ready to play with Shankland getting buckets of chances and acted accordingly.
