    I agree, definitely Devlin. I'm not sure why he went so long. He should have pushed him onto the midfield.
    I thought McKenna was beat too easily too.
    I wouldn't apportion blame to Vyner as he was covering a midfielder and would have expected McKenna who was not marking anyone to put a foot in.

    There was a few who could have done better from Devlin to stop the cross to McKenna / Logan / Lewis, failing in the stramash at the 6 yard box, but I ultimately thought this started from McGinn who had the opportunity to gain possession but fcuked it up. He was definitely scared of the Celtic youngster

    When you see the goal from behind the goals you watch him following the ball on that direct line to goal but when the ball gets moved back across he doesn't move and leaves a massive channel - this one was hard as being fair it was a brilliant team goal
    It was a brilliant team goal and a brilliant through ball, but for me Leigh fails to track Forrest's run.

    For me, McGinn again sh@t his pants letting the Celtic youngster have too much space and both Vyner and Devlin should have done better with the cross

    Not a single player should pick up a wage this week.

    In fact most should be transfer listed in January. They're just not the standard our club needs or deserves.

I'd personally rather have Scott Wright than McLennan but McLennan is better built physically to be a McInnes player. He did nothing yesterday and didn't really look interested. Not sure why Hedges isn't getting a game, he's looked like the best of the summer signings (which wouldn't be hard)
    He’s better than James Wilson.

    In fact every thing you just said about McLennan could be said about Wilson.

    The highlight of his career will be that he played for Man Utd a couple of times.

    Not long back from Lidl. Front page of the paper, murder or something. Flicked it over to the back page. Banner headline "SORRY".

    Who was apologising and was that a direct quote?

    I know you hate Wilson, so whatever I say here won't make a difference, but he is a far better player than McLennan. If the highlight of his career is that he played for Man Utd a few times that will be significantly greater than McLennans, who wouldn't get within 100 miles of playing for Man Utd reserves a few times.

    Wilson offered nothing yesterday, which was the same as McLennan - the difference is McLennan gets played in his favoured position, whereas Wilson is getting employed in a position he clearly isn't suited to and doesn't enjoy.

    Correct DC Mclennan is a headless chicken and soft as a skitter,his career and Scott Wrights will go the same as Cammy Smith,just not good enough

    "soft as a skitter" had me chuckling for some reason, but pretty spot on.

    McLennan is 20 years old and has played 1 full season for the first team, yes he is inconsistent but he has already done more at Aberdeen than Wilson ever will.

    Wilson’s clearly been told he would be playing out wide so there’s no excuse for him looking uninterested because he is not playing in his preferred position,why he re signed for us is beyond me.

    He maybe played for Man Utd a couple of times but so did Ben Thornley,like Thornley all he’s done since he’s been here is name dropped all the super stars he used to train with.

    Surely he could get a game for Northwhich Victoria or Altrincham
