Hung out to dry by Glass for forcing him to play on the left Half decent player there just never given the chance, couldn't be any worse than Stewart Link to comment

Wasn't very good under Glass wont deny that, think having no pre-season and being in a rank rotten DOns side didn't help Would have liked to see him given a chance in the first team but JG clearly has his favourites and if he doesn't fancy you then you wont get a look in 1 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Come on lads. Bates was dreadful in an Aberdeen shirt. Liability every week and had a bad habit of putting his hands on forwards giving away needless free kicks. The only criticism might have been for letting him go without bringing in cover but not the decision to let him go. 1 Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Bates > Stewart I agree having to play on the left hung him out to dry Of course he had his faults and did give away too many free kicks but within the budget we were operating at he was reasonable. And most certainly shouldn't have been allowed to leave until a replacement was in the door. However Goodwin obviously believed that Stewart > Bates. Says it all really Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 If a right footed centre back can't play left centre back in a back four then I'd say you've got a pretty limited footballer Link to comment

If Goodwin told them he wanted them to play on the opposite side to what they do, they'd think he'd lost his mind. No one expects a left back to be able to play right back and vice versa. To my mind anyone who is totally one footed crosses the threshold for being a limited footballer. However our budget sadly means that we will have plenty limited footballers in our squad Bates was played out of his natural position in an utterly shite team. Link to comment

A footballer is always going to have one stronger foot than the other but other than one just for standing on should be nowhere near Aberdeen. No excuses for the extremely poor recruitment.

Plenty teams have had right footed centre backs playing on the left of the two with great success. We've discussed this many times before. Additionally, Bates played in both centre back positions during his time here and didn't impress in either. Link to comment

Well said min. It's the footballer that's poor rather than him being asked to do something completely unnatural. Arteta plays inverted full backs at Arsenal ffs. That's radical, nae asking someone to shunt over the back line a wee bit. Link to comment

If a footballer cannot adapt accordingly when on the pitch, he shouldn't be a footballer as clearly he (or she) is out of their depth. Link to comment
