Russel Returning In Time For Hampden?

[MURRA]

Apparently russel anderson could make it back in time to play in the semi final against hibs. ||Would be a great asset to the team adding some great experience, but in my opinion (only if he proves it in a couple of appearances before hampden he should make the bench at the best. mcardle, reynolds and considine have been doing fantastic recently and i believe it would be foolish to break that trio up. Also i would hate to see andrew considine losing the armband(touch wood) if we reach the final, he deserves it!!

think it was meant as being able to be a fit member of the team. Dont think he would just walk straight back in and take the place of anyone in our back 4 at the minute. Would be a good asset to have on the bench in such a game though.

As long as Mawene becomes further away from the team I'm happy.

If and it's a big if, we make the finals and Anderson is fit. There is no way that Considine should be relieved of the Captain's armband.

As you say.

If the big if happened and we won it.

Considine would be captain for the game and would probably lift the cup in tandem with club captain Anderson should he be fit and in the squad.

Other teams like Liverpool (Redknapp & Fowler I think) & Man Utd (Bruce & Robson) have had captains and stand in captains lift trophies together.

Who gives a fuck who the captain is, There should be several leaders on the park.

 

Will be a great asset when he is fit.

[Stoney]

Think the defence is actually fine as it is.

 

In particular Mcardle, Reynolds and Considine have struck up a great partnership.

 

Wouldnt be touching anything,

[V for Vendetta]

I don't think Brown would change the defense just for the semi - too risky and unnecessary.

Got to agree.

 

Along with J. Brown, they've developed a great understanding.

 

Barring a major prolapse at the back, Anderson is going to have to go some to get a regular start this season once he regains his fitness.

 

The best he can hope for is coming of the bench for the remainder of this season, which I think he'll know himself anyway.

 

He'll feature more regularly next season once Mawene has gone and Reynolds goes back to Sheff Wed(hope we keep him).

I don't think Brown will change that defense unless injuries force his hand.

[fine-n-dandy]

This was mentioned the other day in the other thread & someone confirmed that there was no mention of Anderson coming back to play in the semi & just that he was aiming to bet fit around that time & maybe in the "squad" as a boost basically.

 

Quotes from Brown....

"We have given him a target of the Scottish Cup semi-final, to be fit for that," added Brown, whose side take on Hibs at Hampden Park on 14 April.

 

"Even if he was just in the squad as a fit member of that squad, it would be a tremendous boost for everyone involved with Aberdeen Football Club."

He did last time around. Just hope he learnt his lesson.

And Hilton FC, when I had an end of career swansong back in amateur football and Col Shirreffs graciously asked me to lift the league cup side by side with him.

if hes got a few games under his belt, think he should go on the bench in place of mawene, be a good asset even if he never played.

[Jazzer_Bett]

Lovely news.

 

We need to be sure that Derby have agreed to this first though, a mere administrative matter but important nonetheless.

Anyone got any idea when Ozzy is due back? There have been next to no updates on the subject. He was due back after a month of injury, then he re-injured himself for another month. That feels like an awfully long time ago now.

[tup]

No idea palmer-eldritch chief.

 

I canna believe the mods have been so lax as to leave Russell spelled incorrectly on this thread title for so long.

 

No wonder I jacked being a mod is all I can say, dumbing down is not the words.

It is indeed a dogs life being a mere poster compared to the thankless, clique ridden world of the power crazed geek moderator.
