Drug Dealers Plastic Pitch 11 v The Famous Aberdeen Match Thread

[RED_JOHN]

Give me a dodgy starting eleven, tactical changes and last minute winner over watching that turgid cr@p we put up with under The Anchor Man any day of the week. It’s a fine time to be a Dons fan. We are trying different things and Glass etc are getting to see what everyone brings to the club.

Well, I think it’s fair to say 3 points rather flattered us today.

First half was dreadful, second half much better but that’s not hard.

Grinding out wins when yer not at yer best is what good teams do though so credit to the team for that.

A few thoughts:

Liked the look of Gurr - solid and very good going forward. Looks like we’re well covered at RB.

Jenks did ok. Cracking goal and some nice touches. Hopefully he’ll prove useful with a few games under his belt.

Brown was badly missed first half. Whole attitude and approach changed after he came on.

JET is absolutely not a lone striker. He was never in the right place up front, wandering all over the place. He also doesn’t have the work ethic for that role. Do not do that again Glass.

Just further proof we need another striker.


Their goal was an absolute shambles. Mckenzie and Hedges sleeping and far too slow to get out and Lewis far too slow to react to the header back into the box. Getting beaten in the air like that by Anderson is embarrassing.

Gallagher needs games. He’s a solid no nonsense defender but if we’re going to play this fast attacking style then he needs to get the ball moving much quicker. Far too slow and ponderous with the ball at his feet. Considine is similar and it’ll make this preferred style very hard to adopt if those two can’t play at a much quicker tempo.

Wins a win though, onwards and upwards to Thursday - COYR.

Fair enough summary Moog, on top of what you've said though, I think it's worth noting that Jenks has hardly ever played a full professional 90 minutes, so I think we should cut him some slack. In relation to Hedges and McKenzie not getting out quick enough, Anderson was running in and they were in front of the guy beside Lewis so I think that's harsh to blame them and if Hedges had run out in the second half he couldn't have cleared the heeder off the line!! As others have said it's refreshing that Glass is so proactive
I agree though that we definitely need another striker, first priority.(despite the centre half probs))

Another striker will undoubtedly be a loan, a youngster probably.

We couldn’t afford a good striker and so buying a ****e one just for the sake of it.

Glass is going to make mistakes, some schoolboy ones as well but he's not as daft as a lot of you have made out. This could be a really good season and if it's not then at least we tried something new.

We were pish in the first half with most of our best players rested and playing on a much maligned plastic pitch. We then came out against hatchet men and won. Fair enough it was by the skin of our teeth but a good 3pts all the same.

There are obviously issues that need resolved but we should all know that it comes to the Nigel's spending money to move the market about. All the clubs up here are the same.

If you haven't enjoyed this season so far then you are a spaz.

You are right aldo there has been a lot to enjoy this season. For starters we have won most of our games.

The thing I have enjoyed the most so far this season though is you trying to be a happy clapper

Just happy to give the new manager a chance.

Lots of issues that will crop up as I've said over and over.
