Match Thread Inverness CT v Aberdeen (0 - 0)

In any videos of him playing for Burton he looked quite sharp, but in contrast he just looks very slow and ponderous for us. Is the pace so different in the SOL?

I think the pace is different, but also the expectation up here is too. He hasn't had as many chances as Vern but seems to be at around the same level ability wise. I think it's a shame that he hasn't been played in a front two to give him a bit of hiding space for his lack of space but there's no way we could change our system for him. It's unfortunate for him that Pawlett, Hayes and McGinn have played so well behind a main front man or we could have seen him being one of our main strikers.

 

 

Burton made him an offer last season, but he elected to move to us. I reckon they'd be happy enough to take over his contract, but we may have to pay the short fall in his earnings.

Hopefully he sees playing football regularly more attractive than a few extra £100 a week.

[Boooooth]

I'd rather have Zola on the bench than Vernon.

At least we can play direct and have some sort of plan B.

 

Lesser of two evils, mind you

[mutant]

Have any of you seen Zola?? HE IS FUCKING TERRIBLE !!

Im stunned anyone thinks he even warrants a place on the bench, try young players ahead of that excuse of a footballer.

[Queensferry COYR]

Zola is the worst forward we have ever had, can't jump worth a toss and always stands the wrong side of the defenders, absolute rubbish and will be gone at end of season

[The Cockney Don]

Johnny Hayes!

Is Jack injured?

Jack suspended. My bad.

[Ingolfsson]

That's our best 11. Hopefully skelp these fuds this evening.

[Don Fonte]

Hayes starting is a big shock and bonus! Really confident now, 3-1 win.

[West Coast Red]

McInnes just confirmed on BT Sport that regardless of where we finish this season the budget for next season is already set as the same as it was this season.

[Bebo]

Hayes already looking positive in his play.

 

Seriously missed him last week.

[The Cockney Don]

Clangers

[zoso77]

Good hustle early doors if not the quality quite yet...great to see Hayes back,just loves running at the opposition which eventually makes things happen .already confident we wont lose this match..

[The Cockney Don]

That clumsy oaf draper putting himself about as usual .

[BillyStarkDivinHeeder]

Considine's crossing is fucking chronic.

[zoso77]

Considine's crossing is fucking chronic.

i,ll add distribution & turn of pace to that also .

[tutankamun]

Pish game so far.

[Dynamo]

Yeah don't like Considine at left back at all.

[Dom Sullivan]

Yeah don't like Considine at left back at all.

Yep, centre half or nothing

[tutankamun]

McGinn off the bar!

[The Cockney Don]

McGinn oooooooooooooh

[zoso77]

Great driving run from pee paw setting up mginn there ..cmon

[a don in oz]

Well this is mince. Neither side got a grip of the game or even the ball.

[tutankamun]

Yeah don't like Considine at left back at all.

We've known this for years but if Robertson is injured / not match fit what other options do we have?

 

I think overall he's actually done not bad this season (by his standards) considering some of his previous 'bomb-scare' left back performances.

 

A definite weak link in our team though. The opposition know it as well.

[The Cockney Don]

Clangers again

[a don in oz]

It's good to see Hayes back but we really need to step it up in the 2nd half.

[fine-n-dandy]

This game is fkn honking

[zoso77]

Better pressing of ball than Sunday.rooney needs more support.clangers is great at some aspects of goalkeeping as shown there if he came out with that authority for crosses & long through balls we would have a legend on our hands..
