Thelin facing unwanted first at Aberdeen as boss reveals he's NEVER had it as tough as this

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Jimmy Thelin admitted he’s facing his toughest spell as a manager after Aberdeen’s incredible nosedive continued in Motherwell.Ewan Wilson’s first professional goal and a wonder strike from the terrific Tawanda Maswanhise earned the Steelmen a first home win over the Dons in three-and-a-half years and jump into fifth spot.

But for Thelin and the Red Army the scoreline on this latest chapter of misery should read Well 2 Woeful 0 as they slumped to another defeat - and a 10th successive game without a win.After their sensational unbeaten start to the season which saw them take 31 points from 11 games, the Dons are now looking as washed out as their grey away kit having taken just three points from the last 30.

And this implosion must be the worst of them all.They have now scored just three goals in their last seven games and could have played all day here without netting.

And they lost their heads in spectacular fashion with Slobodan Rubezic – just back from a ban – the chief sinner after being sent off shortly before the interval for sticking his noggin on Tony Watt.The time-bomb defender pleaded innocence but ref Nick Walsh stuck with his decision after reviewing the incident and SFA guidance later confirmed the Montenegrin had moved his head twice towards the Well hitman.
