Stephen Robinson faces six games that can determine his future as Aberdeen head coach, says Ryan Flynn, who performed beneath the Northern Irishman with St Mirren.
The Arbroath midfielder thinks the Dons “have enough” of their squad to keep away from relegation bother however fears they don’t seem to be the type of gamers who match the type of play Robinson would wish to undertake.
Flynn factors out “it would be massive national news” if Aberdeen have been to be relegated for the primary time ever and that to this point there was “no manager bounce” and “no good performances” within the three games since Robertson was appointed.
Their solely level got here in his opening sport in opposition to Falkirk and was due to a mistake from visiting goalkeeper Scott Bain.
“You just feel in interviews there’s something just not right,” Flynn instructed BBC Scotland’s Scottish Football Podcast.
“His style of play needs a certain group of players, but can he get a tune out of those players at Pittodrie?
“If Aberdeen had got here for Stephen Robinson in January, for me it might have been an ideal match. He would have had time to recruit some gamers, he would then get a bounce and implement his type of play with the gamers that he wants.
“He’s done it at Motherwell and St Mirren. When he has time to really get his philosophy over – exactly what he expects on the park – he has success.”
However, Flynn recalled when Robinson took over from Jim Goodwin in Paisley.
“Initially, we had some poor form,” he stated. “We were pushing for top six and it ended up that the season just petered out and at the start of the next season it started going well and he did a fantastic job.”
Flynn stated the efficiency in Aberdeen’s newest defeat by his former aspect in Paisley “was inept” and so they now face “a massive home game before the split” in opposition to Hibernian on Saturday.
“The one thing you are not going to get at Aberdeen is time,” he added. “When you’re at a big club, it has to be now or never.
“These six games will dictate the way it goes for Stephen Robinson.”
