Reserve & Youth Teams Thread

[Betty Swallicks]

Hopefully McInnes is away in the next year or 2 so some of these lads get a chance.

 

[RUL]

Dean not on reserves today?

[mcdougall(4)]

Bruce doing bits today, 2 first half goals away at ross county

[RUL]

Finished 4-4 but we are through to semi finals.

[RAZOR]

Finished 4-4 but we are through to semi finals.

We also lost the penalty shoot out but still progress? Seems odd.

[RUL]

Yeah, I have no idea what the rules are for that one.

[The Cockney Don]

That's how we progressed.

St Johnstone, Hearts & Motherwell were the other group winners.

1 Aberdeen Reserves 3 1 0 0 4 0 1 1 0 5 4 5 7

2 Celtic Reserves 3 0 0 1 0 1 2 0 0 4 1 2 6

3 Ross County Reserves 3 0 1 1 4 6 0 1 0 1 1 -2 3

4 Falkirk Reserves 3 0 1 1 2 3 0 0 1 0 4 -5 1

 

 

Todays team was : Craddock, Virtanen, MacKenzie, Tansey, McGregor, Roscoe ©, McLennan, S Ross, Dangana, Anderson, E Ross.

Subs – Mair (GK), Duncan, Linden, Robertson, Barron, Shanks, Alexander.

 

Scorers : Anderson (6 & 39), McGregor (33), McLennan (46).

[RAZOR]

Then why did they bother with penalty shoot out? The extra point doesn't seem to make any difference for either team?

It’s in the rules.

[Betty Swallicks]

Yeah, mckenna, Campbell, McLennan, Wright, Anderson and Frank Ross getting into the first team squad/team doesn't count eh?

 

One out of six aint bad as Meat Loaf didni sing.

[boboisared]

The youth team won the league a few years ago. What happened to that bright young team? Think Nicky Low was the pick of them

The last sentence answers your question.

[StandFree1982]

Surely Shankland would be the pick, seeing as he's smashing in goals left right and centre at Ayr, and attracting attention from Premiership sides. Low is plying his trade in Ireland...

[RAZOR]

They won the league with Robson, Anderson and Langfield (unshaved post Clutha) playing most of the games.

Think low quit Ireland

Not sure if he has a club at the minute

[RUL]

.exactly, deserve a lot more credit for winning it with him in goals

[ollie1903]

Think he's on trial at Morton

[Tord31]

is our #34 morgan brown or virtanen or fa?

 

ive been assuming its Brown - seems he is well into the first team squad at the moment

Presuming it's Miko as Morgan Brown squad number is 35

Sensational display by Lawrence Shankland tonight at Tannadice,An Eoin Jess style four goals in a great 5-0 win over high flying Dundee United.His touch to cushion the ball on his thigh to fire home his fourth was class.Even scored with a fairly poor penalty.Michael Rose fine game centre half,even Daniel Harvie did well at left back.Odd to see Fraser Fyvie as senior player and captain for Dundee United when always think of him as a young player. Aberdeen u18s 1 v St Johnstone u18s 2 at blustery Balmoral this afternoon,poor Archie Mair caught flat footed as ball swirled in the wind into top of the net direct from a corner for the winning goal..Wee Connor Barron no.8  captain ,best player,but tries to do everything himself

do you know if he's been doing well? is he still considered a midfielder or being converted to full back?

What position is Connor? Would be good for us to bring through a creative player, someone of the Eoin Jess ilk would be ideal.

 

Is it a case of Shankland finding his level in the Championship? That is some record he's got this season for goals. Tam McManus also highlighted Rose as playing well.

[alscotoz]

How much of a chance was Shankland given with us? I don't know.

[aberdeen1970]

 

 

Rooney was banging them in on a regular basis so he was limited to 5 or 10 minutes here or there off the bench mainly

 

The boy admits himself he wasn't ready

[Chewie37]

Shankland unmarked for two of his goals......must be the best player in Scotland. Scores against an utter mince DUTD and he’s a superstar?

[aberdeen1970]

4 goals in a game away from home is a good night's work. He's banging them in regularly in that league.

 

Credit where credit's due.

 

Would be interesting to see if he could carve out a career in the top division.

Connor Barron is midfielder,he is very skilful and very small,often pushed out the way by bigger,stronger less talented players.He is a midfield playmaker and takes most of the corners and free kicks.I can imagine Aberdeen u18s coach Barry Robson will like him very much.Connor is very like Barry Robson in how he plays.

Interesting!! Not the worst comparison.

Mon tae fuck. You’re just playing with our emotions now. You’ll tell me we’ve a 15 yo goal machine next!

Fair enough.I do think we have a potential goal machine in young Bruce Anderson.I hope he gets a chance today,

[RUL]

Connor McLennan looks a cracking prospect
