[Bamber 260]

Central defender - got one thing right

[SkyeDon 29]

Welcome aboard Michael. Hopefully it'll prove to a shrewd bit of business from McInnes.

The taxman!

 

Just aff the phone to my pal who supports Reading, they call him Blackenbaur.

Never heard of the cunt.

Ach weel, he must be shite then

[SkyeDon 29]

I take it the trialist, listed in the starting line-up is Hector?

[Bamber 260]

Considering he went straight in and hadn't had so much as a whiff of most of the team a very admirable 1st game, read it very well and is a big tall guy

 

Will be a few worried defenders looking at who was fit and thinking they will now get a game and a few who are injured will be worried about getting their place back as he will fit in very very nicely

 

May seem a bit brave saying it but I hope we have an option on the full season as based on tonight he will be a regular starter

Nae sure I was watching the same game as you then.

 

On the positive side he looked to play the ball out of defence and not settle for a long hoof up the park but he looked really suspect on a few occasions. Hopefully he'll come on, and I'll not be too harsh based on seeing him for an hour, but I wouldn't be too excited at this stage.

[Dom Sullivan 955]

I thought he played well particularly being thrown in having only signed his loan deal today.

 

Look very assured and his timing was good.

 

Looks a prospect.

[Tinyweelad 282]

Touch of an elephant, but put that down to lack of game time. Wanted time on the ball, which is highly unlikely in the SPL.

 

Sure he'll suss it out come time... just hope he doesn't gift a couple of goals which could blooter his confidence.

 

Guess he started so McInnes could have a right good look at him.

[K-9 337]

Thought did very well chucked in at deep end. Looked absolutely fucked when went off after about an hour so clearly well short of full match fitness.

[BGCL1875 6]

He was on loan at Cheltenham last year, I saw a fair bit of him and think you have got a cracking loan signing, might take a wee while to adjust to the Scottish game but ultimately he will do a good job for you

[Old Wing Stand 262]

I thought the lad did well made a couple of great blocks too

He used to be a jockey inna?

[ollie1903 1,912]

His first 3 touches were poor, one particularly which he had to chase down then hoovered it into the main stand. I'd put it down to being over eager to impress. Competent performance after he settled though. Always looked to take the ball from the fud and looked to pass his way out. Encouraging signs

Loved the way he was demanding the ball from team mates and looking to play it on deck. Comparing that to aimless punters Clark and Reynolds a breath of fresh air!!

[Redstar 440]

Wasn't overly impressed...he came close to scoring an own goal...Clangers beaten (no surprise)...as the ball cleared the bar by millimetres...his first game so hopefully he will come good...

[tightbreeks 177]

Michael the protector hector

[swifty 130]

Not sure we needed another central defender. Would've made more sense bringing a full back, although the young loon Murray looked good when he came on.

I dont think its fair to put any outfield player in the same sentence as Clark when discussing any sort of footballing ability.

 

Langfield, yes. Any other, unfair.

 

 

Wasnt at the game, heard some good reports though both about Hector and the 2nd half performance.

[a don in oz 235]

Obviously didn't see the game or Hector but jeez that first goal for us... 10 passes before that beautiful header from McGinn.

 

We are so going to lose that guy at the end of this coming season and it'll be for decent money. The guy seems to have clicked. He's just got oodles of talent when it comes to putting the ball in the net but generally too. Single best thing from Craig Brown's 'era' by a million miles, even if it was an accidental signing.

 

As to Hector, glad we've got another defender in but hope this wasn't the extra one the board were authorising because surely as others are saying we need a full back too? Or is McInnes thinking the youngsters will be the cover for that?

 

....

 

Just watched the 2nd goal too. Wow. Pawlett got hauled back in the box and DIDN'T go down... and scored a cracker after not going down. If he can do that in the league instead of flopping at the first touch I'll be happy!

 

....

 

Another edit: Watched the McInnes post match interview and that's it. The loan defender was the extra player talked of so that's us for the season.

I think there will be at least one loan signing yet.

Actually meant Clark "punt" Robertson!!

McInnes says that is it for incoming but still looking to loan out a couple of youngsters

[muttonhumper 1,805]

Opinion seems pretty split based on tonight, hopefully some decent competition for places at the back especially when Consi returns.

 

I see Considine put in 45 minutes at Inverurie yesterday.

 

Assuming next week will be too early for him, bot hopefully about available for the matches in the weeks that follow.

Out of Contract at Aberdeen : 26.01.14

Out of Contract at Reading : 30.06.14

 

Should we be looking into extending this lads stay?

 

Loan Offer? Transfer Offer? Pre-Contract offer?

[ebbe 1,276]

was impressed with him again aswell.

[Mouse 62]

Think we should extend to end of the season at least
