Players must now step up or they'll get boss the sack

JIMMY THELIN admits his struggling team has hit rock-bottom.

- 

But has the manager got what it takes to lift his Aberdeen team off the floor?

That is the big question and one that will decide whether or not he has a long-term future at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen’s results this season simply haven't been good enough.

To be sitting bottom of the table with just one point and not one goal from five league games is simply embarrassing.

Some of the Aberdeen players’ faces should be as red as their shirts with the predicament they have put their team and manager in.

Their only win came in the Premier Sports Cup away to Championship side Morton. It is simply not good enough and Thelin knows that.

Yes, he has credit in the bank from lifting the Scottish Cup but that is quickly evaporating.
