Stephen Glass’ Aberdeen v drug dealer’s eleven

[RED_JOHN]

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.

What I gather is that Lewis is on a substantial wage...top earner. Nothing at all against him but he should have been dropped (admittedly by The Anchor Man) when he was a liability during the season. Woods in my opinion looks more confident. He seems far better with the ball at his feet and I reckon that will be what Glass is at least expecting from our goalkeeper next season.
I personally would move him and Considine on simply for the reason they have had enough chances and generally fail in the bigger matches. We need a new mentality at the club and these two getting moved on would send a signal out that nobody is safe.
