Aberdeen are still searching for a win after imploding with a 3-0 home defeat to St Mirren at the weekend.
It is a headscratcher for the Dons as they now sit winless for 13 Premiership games after earning plaudits for their unbeaten start to the season.
Manager Jimmy Thelin has insisted he will shoulder the responsibility but urged his players to stick together and keep working at it.
Thelin has also defended the Aberdeen players but wants them to start being braver.
But for the moment it is hard to see where the next victory is coming from as they are stuck in a rut and individual errors continue to plague them, while they’re no longer much of a threat at the top end.
Neil McCann and Steven Naismith assessed where the Dons were going wrong – and the question over Jimmy Thelin’s management was also asked.
Thelin not under Aberdeen pressure
It has now been debated further and Ian McCall has suggested the Swede has been getting an easy ride of it.
The former Dundee United and Falkirk boss, recently sacked by Clyde, reckons Thelin would have been under more pressure if he was a Scottish manager.
McCall doesn’t see what the Dons are trying to achieve on the park but thinks the manager isn’t yet under any pressure.
Speaking on Open Goal, he said: “I’ve watched them a couple of times recently and I can’t see what they’re trying to do, they’re trying to knock it about at the back and stuff.
“The big boy in the middle of the park (Sivert Nilsen), he looks like he’s been a good player but he really struggles to get about the pitch.
“If it was a Scottish manager, he would be under serious (pressure). I don’t think he is yet, I think they’ve went all in.
“They’ve spent nearly £1.5milllion and for Aberdeen it’s all relative.
“So I don’t think he is yet, but this can’t continue. If it goes on another three or four games they’re in danger because Kilmarnock right up to Dundee United, anyone could finish in the top six.
“He could be under serious P if, let’s say they lose the next four. How long does it go?”
Can Thelin and Aberdeen do anything differently?
Asked, from his experience, if there is anything you can do differently when on these runs.
He added: “I think sometimes you do change it. Not just in personnel but even in shape, just to try and do things a little bit differently.
“The runs I’ve been on..I was think it’s the type of players that are injured rather than numbered. We had six key players and you’re trying to patch things together.
“But you just try and tweak things, maybe leave one or two out. You just try everything.
“But you have to really maintain…the only way to get out of these situations is to keep working really hard.”
