Match Thread Aberdeen 4 - 1 St Mirren

[OhhhhhJimmyJimmy]

I am not as much of a regular any more as many of the posters on here.  A rare trip North to Pittodrie on Saturday for me and my loon was well rewarded.  Haven't seen much of the games this season so here's my assessment:

 

Lewis - Nothing to do, no chance at goal.  7

Logan - Usual high quality 8 out of 10 performance with assists gets him to 9.  He is underappreciated and we will miss him when he is finally gone.  Also came over for a photo with my boy.  Top bloke. - 9

Lowe - Holy shit.  Looks like he is playing at the wrong level.  Will surely play every game when fit.  Man of the match.  An English star in the making. 10

Considine - Standard - 7

Devlin - Decent game, looks very solid. - 7

Ball - Has improved dramatically and seems to have found his role.  8

Ferguson - Very very promising.  Controls the game, good on the ball, fights like a bear when we are not in possession.  And only 18/19 years old.  Slight question mark over his conditioning/fitness but that will come.  No sign of the hail marys he was playing against the huns which is good. 8

Shinnie - Captain's performance.  Still chasing in last ten minutes.  Need to keep him.  8

GMS - Brilliant performance.  Full back was shitting himself after about 20 mins.  Looks full of confidence.  Best ive seen him play for us. 9

Maclennan - Looked like an absolute first teamer and gave the full back a torrid time.  Surprised he hasn't had a chance before now given the quality shown on Saturday.  Also built like a brick shithouse which is good. 8

Cosgrove - Did what he does.  Did well at the goals.  Probably not the kind of striker I would pick but Del does like a big striker.  Stockley was a (slightly) better version.  Will hopefully keep improving. 7

 

Subs

 

Forrester - Reminded me of players who played for Aberdeen pre-Del.  No fight, no awareness, a handful of clever touches.  A big no for me. 4

Gleeson - Aside from the error, didn't do much.  Maybe needs some games.  6

Anderson - Anonymous - I am not yet on the bandwagon which everyone else on this board seems to have jumped on.  Hopefully he keeps getting game time off the bench though not sure he is Del's kind of striker.  6

 

 

Cracking performance against a limited side.  Lots of promising young talent to be excited about.

Agree he's been excellent.  Hopefully he'll be keen to sign a new contract given he appears settled and enjoying his football. 

 

Worrying thing with GMS is, if he's still nae getting a look in for Scotland despite playing well, he might see down south as the only way to potentially get another call up. Hope nae though, would be annoying for us to turn his career around only for him to leave on a free, need to get him signed up pronto, I dare say even more so than Shinnie if you think about selling value you could maybe get for him.

[HairyPie]

Any update on his injury ?

 

Lightbulb up the arse seemingly.

Reds & Co still on the go?

[Scotty_Toronto]

McLennan should start ahead of McGinn from now on. He's so much more effective when counter attacking, he's willing to take on his man and he's got the pace to actually hurt defenses. 

 

He certainly didn't play in spells or go missing either.

I think the problem there is that Scotland has such a fantastic array of attacking talent. It's hard for good players to get a look in.

I think you're right Reliable son - a real kick in the cunt being an attacking footballer of Scottish decent born within this generations threshhold it is.

 

One day Flipper son - the salty crest will be on your breast.

 

 

grooming you lad run

Lewis got away with one but had a cracking save to make up for his own mistake. This led to some mannie screaming that Lewis is useless. Maybe missed the Clangers, Reece, Esson, Bossu, Walker, Brown, Adam, Weaver and Souttar years?

 

Fixed

Did anyone tell the cunt he was talking shite?

[BWG]

Got to give it to Cosgrove his first goal was excellent. The other one was a gift from the keeper. For a big guy his shooting is piss weak. I think my 10 year old niece could hit the ball harder than he can.

It's in the Merkland. Guy seemed to have several seats of space around him so must be a known numpty.

Surely some of the spare semi final protest dildos could be put to good use on this chap?

That took a very dark turn.....

Yeah Chewie, back the fuck up out of my gay rapey reference territory bitch, or I will cut you.

Wait is a Wookie a Bear? Do Wookies qualify as Bears? Life is confusing. I better huff some lube.
