Bruce Anderson

It's no coincidence that he's doing well as he's getting played in a front 2 alongside a bigger, physical type striker.

McInnes prefers to play one up front. Usually a big old unit but if injury precluded he would stick Anderson in and generally he was useless as a lone striker. 

It's for the best all round that he's now with Hamilton and able to put himself in the shop window for a contract next season. Ideally at another SPL club as then we would be due a development payment 

Only if we offer him a new contract on equal or better terms than what hes currently on.

Would Hamilton or the likes pay the compensation though or would they just move on to someone else? 

I guess thats the dilemma if the club don't want to keep him here.

There’s too much risk playing young players unless they are very good. It’s a cliche but football is a results business and managers will stick to players they know they can rely on.

Ngwenya looked like a headless chicken when he came on against County and we lost yet people complain that we don’t give youth a try.

The fact is we don’t really have any good prospects coming through the ranks but that’s an issue for Scottish football in general. The whole thing needs overhauled from the ground up but that’s a whole different matter.

Anything to deflect away from McInnes/club blame eh

Dinna quite understand how Bruce has found his level when he's playing in the same league as us with players who are 'on paper' worse than ours.

It's further egg on the disgusting face of our manager who has clearly mismanaged him. 

 

Shows that he's a good player, especially when he's played in a formation which suits his style of play, unlike how we just aimleslly lump balls up to a striker and hope

The manager and the players he can rely on are failing miserably right now.

DMC has been here for over 8 years now, I would assume that he would have a major say in youth development.

So not only has the quality of football, recruitment and results tanked over the last 3 years under his watch, the youth development has stalled as well despite an expensive purpose built training ground.

Seems like a good example of player mis-management

[Tord31]

Bruce Anderson is ok. If we can get any transfer fee we'll have done well.

[NEM]

Just watched sportscene from the weekend. Anderson looked light years ahead of Hornby and Hendry

Oh he was definitely mismanaged here however I don't think he helped himself but looks to have corrected that and is now enjoying a really good spell, it does help that Hamilton are playing to his strengths and not sticking him out on the wing.

Good another nail in the coffin for prick deek, hope he gets a hat trick while we set an aberdeen record for minutes without scoring

[Tord31]

Going well for Ando. Good stuff he might make it for us or get us a fee yet

Let’s not re-write history.

As for his goal tonight, it was going wide until it hit someone’s arse on the way in.

Of course I don’t. 

As for “the melt” comment, have a look in the mirror

McInnes defending his decision to put him out on loan to the useless bint Jane Lewis. Got a bit prickly there.

Your comments clearly lend more in support of McInnes than Anderson in terms of the subject in hand.

So yes, the impression you give is to discredit Anderson & defend McInnes 

 

still, your comments made zero sense TWICE

Who's on the scoresheet? Right place right time. 
 

 

[aberdeen1970]

I think we'd be perfectly happy with a deflected goal just now.

Stop re-writing history 

He didn’t score because another player made an arse of it. That’s what the history books say

[Sheepo]

Anderson now playing with allegedly poorer players but now performing and putting the ball in the net, playing off a big striker and doing well. Hope the lad keeps scoring and gets a good move for next season

Sometimes it's just about being in the right environment at the right time. 

Makes you wonder why he didn't perform at Ayr though eh?  Tactics? Attitude?

When do we have to offer a new contract by? Even if only to trigger the compensation/development  clause

Based on mcinnes comments it's already agreed.

One of the players said on RedTv the other week that he was performing great in training & scoring all sorts of goals. 
So if it was an attitude thing then it was more likely from Mcinnes &/or (in part Anderson) if he was not playing Mcinnes’s defensive strategy

I think it's clear that Bruce and McInnes just don't get on. 

I was talking about his time at Ayr though f and d.  By all accounts he was poor there.

So was McKenna at that level ‘by all accounts’
