Do Aberdeen's problems run deeper than the dugout?
Following an underwhelming start to the season that has yielded just one Scottish Premiership win and two goals from five league matches, head coach Stephen Robinson is feeling the heat from the Dons support.

However, after a number of years of player and manager upheaval, Sportscene pundit Ryan McGowan suggests frustrations should be directed elsewhere.
Speaking on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast, the Livingston defender said: "Aberdeen are a massive club. They're a club that should be in the top three or four in Scotland with the budget, size of club and fanbase.
"They should be right up there challenging. The fans have gone a lot of seasons now where they have probably not been looking forward to watching their team play.
"For the fans, that's all you just want: to be proud of your team. Of course, you want to see fast, attacking, attractive football, but you also want to just see a team that you identify with and have a real connection with.
"Over the past four, five, six seasons, they've really struggled with that."
On the decision-making at Pittodrie, former Hearts player McGowan added: "The turnover of players and turnover of managers - they just seem to be a club that's almost just making decisions on the spot.
"There's no real forward thinking. Even if you just look at the past three or four managers, they're all almost completely different styles, different nationalities, brought in with different experiences at different stages of their coaching careers.
"Albeit the pressure is on Robinson at the moment, I think a lot of their problems possibly run a bit deeper."
