Aberdeen Struggles Continue Under Jimmy Thelin Amid Scoring Drought

Aberdeen is struggling at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table with just one point from six games and a goalless run extending to 615 minutes, following a 2-0 defeat to Motherwell where both goals were conceded in injury time. Manager Jimmy Thelin, under increasing pressure and fan discontent, remains defiant and confident in turning the team's fortunes around, emphasizing his responsibility to make a difference and his communication with the club's board. Despite making six changes and reverting to a five-man defense that previously helped secure a Scottish Cup win, Aberdeen failed to capitalize on chances and suffered late mistakes leading to their latest loss. Senior figures at the club appear committed to Thelin, viewing his tenure as a three-year project and likely to assess the situation following the upcoming international break. Thelin insists on focusing on the positive aspects and the effort shown by the players, rejecting fear and speculation about his job security. Motherwell's victory ended their run of draws, with their manager optimistic about their progress.
