Charlotte Cohen is joined by Aberdeen fan Beth Wallace and Press & Journal chief sports writer Ryan Cryle to reflect on the end of the Jimmy Thelin era, the challenges facing the club and the expectations for the months ahead. The panel discuss a busy summer of recruitment, the search for goals, concerns over last season's defensive frailties and how Robinson wants his side to play. They also assess the pressure on the manager, the role of key players like Kevin Nisbet and Toyosi Olusanya, and whether the Dons can re-establish themselves as contenders for Europe.
