Stephen Glass’ Aberdeen v drug dealer’s eleven

[pieandbovrilman]

Great shout RJ...I thought the same watching the game and its right he's keeping his place. WM and McFadden had a wee discussion about it the other night on SS with JM questioning if it was a good shout by Glass to keep JL on the bench v Utd., because he was assuming he was fit as on bench...but WM reckons he's injured still and was just on bench for morale or something similar...

I think I it can only be a good thing for us and possibly Lewis as well if he sits out the rest of the season and has some competition now from Woods. There were quite a few of the “old guard” who had become far too complacent towards the latter stages of the McInnes era.

Woods looks very confident. His handling is very good as is his ability with the ball at his feet. There was a time during the season that Lewis should have been dropped. His standards had dipped unfortunately. Woods will keep him out of the team if he keeps playing as confidence comes for a goalkeeper with regular starts.

I would question Woods judgement re coming off his line.

Despite some of the positives I think he has looked suspect at goals conceded including today.

The only defensive player who was suspect at the goal lost against Livingston was Considine. Again he had absolutely no awareness of where the biggest player on the pitch was.

On another note...good you have found your log in details

Well that was a pleasant surprise of a result - though it just compounds the frustration and anger at last weeks spineless shiitshow.

Didn’t see the first half but at least in the second we looked like we actually had an attacking threat.

Great cross for the first goal - amazing what quality delivery into the box does.

Nice break for the second too and a quality cutback fae Kamberi and a lovely finish fae Hedges.

He’s been a massive miss. What a difference he made when he came on though tbf he was badly at fault for their goal - just keep the ball or play it out for a throw min.

Need to try and extend him. Painful as it is i’d still sell if he won’t - but pairing him and Watkins next year would go a long way to helping Glass play the style he wants.

Very poor on the left side again for their goal - Considine in no man’s land and yet again no LB anywhere to be seen.

I know he’s young and learning, but the boy Mackenzie has been badly at fault or posted missing for at least 3 or 4 goals so far. He needs to learn fast if he’s going to secure a regular spot. All well and good promoting youngsters - but they have to be good enough.

Hendry did well again. Not what we need in a regular starter if we’re serious about challenging - but could be a useful squad member if he keeps this up.

Same with Woods, been impressed with how he’s come in and played. Distribution from the deck is way better than Lewis for a start - will be good to have Joe under a bit of pressure for his position.

We’ve got 4th - how bad is this league ffs - but let’s hope results like today don’t pull the wool over Glass’ eyes about this mob.

That joot game should be played on a loop in his office until most of these imposters are gone...

Amazing that we’ve went about 2-3 months without scoring a goal and somehow still manage 4th (and possibly even 3rd). We were terrible even prior to that spell too. Rangers have had the league handed to them this season - they have been good but everyone else has been shockingly poor.

You’re right though, I hope one or two semi decent performances don’t skew Glass’ thinking about these players. Hedges, Ferguson and McCrorie are the only players we have worth keeping.

I would offer Woods a deal also. I really would try and edge the big earner Joe Lewis out the door. Hopefully getting some sort of transfer fee for him. We need big changes at Aberdeen and we need the McInnes mentality to be pushed out the door. Andrew Considine would be another. If we are to improve we must have a better type of player for the big matches. They generally don’t cut the mustard and have failed far too often for very experienced players. We mustn’t let these type of players influence our younger lads or they will never amount to much.

You've really got it in for Joe! I'd agree with you that he should never have been made captain and that he's not been as good this season but there's been a number of games during our Aberdeen nil period when he pulled off crucial saves. As for Woods last week against DU last week he was stuck on his line for the first goal giving McNulty a huge target to aim at and for the second he came and then retreated giving McNulty an easier option. Lewis, I feel, would have anticipated Consi and Hoban being caught out and been off his line far quicker...might not have made a difference, of course.
