Thelin Insists Aberdeen Board Back Him After Cup Exit and Winless League Start

After the Motherwell loss, a dressing-room debrief ended with players urging a back-to-basics response at Dundee United.

Overview

  • Aberdeen sit bottom of the Premiership without a league goal and exited the Premier Sports Cup after a home defeat to Motherwell.
  • Jimmy Thelin says he remains in daily contact with chairman Dave Cormack and CEO Alan Burrows and that all three are aligned on fixing performances.
  • Thelin says he is not focused on job security and stresses fundamentals such as work-rate, duels and defensive recovery over tactical tweaks.
  • Goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov and captain Graeme Shinnie say the squad backs Thelin, accept responsibility for results and described grievances aired in the dressing room.
  • Supporters booed at full-time on Saturday, and attention now turns to Tuesday’s trip to Dundee United as Aberdeen seek a first league goal and win of the season.
