Bruce Anderson

[fine-n-dandy]

Does anyone actually know how tall he is?

[fine-n-dandy]

You did. Let's just agree that you are being your usual contrary self because you're bored. Quiet night back at work?

No I didn’t.

 

I basically said that from the little I have seen of him he has great feet & eye for goal but haven’t seen enough of him to suggest he is also decent with his head.

I also hoped that those that have seen him play more (for reserves) could tell us if he has that to his game as well

[aberdeen1970]

3 goals in the time he’s been given is very good for a young player.

 

3 times the amount Main has scored with similar if not less overall game time.

 

Two sub appearances with about 15-20 mins remaining

Three subs with about ten mins or less remaining

Two sub appearances in final minute of 90 mins (& the 120 mins in cup game)

Basically seven shitty wee cameo goes to Mains 14 appearances of which he’s had six starts.

 

Anderson has had about an hour of game time this season, maybe seventy minutes at a push.

I'm not disagreeing

 

Just being realistic. McInnes likes to play one up front, preferably a big cunt.

 

We're not going to change him. He's too stubborn.

[G31DON]

I'm done, night.

[aberdeen1970]

About 5ft 9 or 5ft 10 maybe?

 

Edit... Fmdata says 5ft 8. Fuck knows. I don't think it matters?

[PHDDon]

The lad just needs gametime so we can find out if he's a long term option and with Cosgrove out Livi was the perfect time to give him a run in the team. Infuriating that Main started over him and the only thing he'll ever be is a bit part player. He has to get the nod against the relegation fodder now

[Sonoftherock]

Time to move on for Bruce?  He's not going to play regularly under McInnes and is at an age where he needs to play every week... at that age you shouldn't be settling for splinters in your arse.

 

Fantastic loyalty but maybe needs to be selfish and start thinking about his own career.

Bruce Anderson is a better player than when shankland left. I expect him to do well when he does eventually leave. His contract is out at end of season anyway is it not?

[RUL]

June 2021.

 

You would have to imagine if Cosgrove leaves then Anderson is going to get a regular run in the team. I'm sure he could get game time elsewhere but then it's a case of him finding a team good enough that it's worth him playing there.

[Dynamo]

What a great goal. Worth a start at Hearts with Cosgrove out.

This is why Bruce will only be a bit player with us despite his heroics. Does not fit into Derek's formation and the way he likes to set up.

 

Unless someone else comes in with a different view to the game , which will certainly not be in the next year.

[Sheepo]

Anderson for the record won ball in the air with his first touch, scores all kinds of goals for the reserves and Yesterdays was the type of goal he scores a lot. I like that when he is interviewed all he says is he wants to score goals. A natural goalscorer, but still cant see Mcinnes playing him ahead of the Horrendous Main

[strachanmcgheegoal]

All I needed to see was the beeb report.

“....Anderson runs through onto a knock on to score....”

 

Seen anyone else do that lately?

Its not a goal we score as our manager prefers the lone striker to play with his back to goal, although Sam did get one at Motherwell

[Parklife]

Very impressive goal yesterday. Great bursting run though, good pace and strength to get in front of the last defender and an inch perfect finish.

Aye because goals like that don’t count so

much. And if you were to pick out a weakness in either arse cheek it would be their relatively static defences.

[Sheepo]

To be fair, it was mains knock on

To be fair it was actually the defender that knocked it on Main missed it

[fine-n-dandy]

No, that's @@Dad

 

Mclennan was an absolute disgrace yesterday, deflected goal aside

 

He did his trademark run right out the park 4 times yesterday, it was ridiculous

 

Anderson's goal though, I've not seen an Aberdeen striker score a goal like that in far too long

 

Was superb

Except Cosgrove

Anderson is way better in the air than Main.

Regularly wins the ball when launched towards him.

 

Main on the other hand, 95% of the time, lurches back into the opposing CH, then falls flat on his arse.

Absolute tragedy of a player.

Since Cosgrove presumably.

Was you actually at the game yesterday or did you simulate it on Championship Manager?

 

Connor McLennan is not a disgrace, he has plenty of talent min. It is great seeing a local lad getting game time for Aberdeen, i.e. someone from north of Stonehaven

I thought McLennan was poor yesterday.

yes he got a goal, which was almost blocked, but otherwise, his decision making was poor.

He had a great chance to cut back fo Ferguson, but opted to try an ambitious outside of the foot curler.

The rest of the time he ran directly at the opposition and inevitably was tackled.

Remember when a few posters on here were unhappy that we hadn't signed him?! Pahahaha

He does this a lot, runs into trouble rather than away from it.

[DelMonte]

Superb goal from Anderson. If he doesn't start against Hearts then there's something wrong.

 

Main is a pain in the arse for a defender but apart from that he is absymal.

[the_shrimp]

I'd love for Anderson to start and win the game for us down there.

To be honest I think Curtis Main is exactly the kind of striker Christophe Berra likes playing against.

Berra is done, he was horrific the other day.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Berra is done, he was horrific the other day.

Aye, he’s dipped badly this season.

But his preference would be to be up against a Main type of striker... one who seems more interested in trying to put himself about but be pretty shit at it.

Yip, was a good move from Ross to put Boyle through the middle, so be no surprise at all for us to have the lump up top.
