Aberdeen v Kilmarnock

Brilliant Nilsen again the day, affords Shinnie more leeway to charge about. He just looks a proper ‘pro’, hard bitten but also a leader. I hope he’s a lesson that whilst our model is taking a punt on promising youth, you can’t get away without experience. Not that that’s is all he is, he’s
excellent. Him and Shinnie look like a pair. Never had that all last season. (Or past fit 6/7 seasons barring brief Rama/Shinnie spell)
Shinnie’s energy is ridiculous. He must be loving having Nilsen in there. I’m really excited by having an actual midfield pairing - just wish they were both younger….

Don't we all.

The experience they bring is exactly what we needed. Some of the criticism of Shinnie last season was way OTT.
Nilsen was an inspired bit of business by Thelin and can only see him getting better.

It's when the suspensions/injuries start to hit that gives me the fear. The lad that came on for Nilsen looks like he may be a player, but he is young and inexperienced. Same for Polvara and Clarkson. Technically brilliant players, but that experienced heads are influencing so much of our play at the moment.

8 competitive wins on the bounce, well done to all involved, on and off the pitch.
A lot to be happy about that performance yesterday.
Up the road to mingwall next weekend full of confidence, 9 straight competitive wins on the trot coming up.

As has been said many times already and I am just echoing the same thought, the signing of Nilsen has been a quality bit of business by Thelin.
What a difference to have a proper manager at the helm.

I fear Nilsson will become a shootie-in for card-happy referees, especially against the New Firm wânkers. He does have a beautiful coorseness about him.
