Nicky Low

[The Cockney Don]

Hearing that he got carried off with a suspected broken leg, playing for the u20`s in the 3-1 defeat to ross county earlier.

[RUL]

Fuck, no good.

[TwoStars]

Is his contract not up this summer?

[StandFree1982]

Well, at least it's nearing the end of the season so he'll have the summer to recover. Hopefully it's not as bad as feared though.

Bet he's still smiling.

Bit harsh.

[dj_bollocks]

"a bad looking injury" as described by RedWeb.... #ominous

[RUL]

What's happened to our U20 team? Getting pumped all over Scotland the past two months.

[TwoStars]

Bit harsh.

Could have said it better but don't think he's done enough to merit a new one. Especially since he's 22 and should have really established himself by now.

Decent players keeping him out of the side for the most part & to be fair to him, he's not embarrassed himself by any means when he's had his chances.

Shows a fantastic attitude & plays his heart out & he's been pretty decent. He's done enough to earn a new deal in my book.

 

Cammy Smith (after all the hype) has been a bit of a let down for me more. Yes you can see he's got some decent skills but imo he's taken even less of his chances in the first team when he's had them.

 

Fair enough to send either out on loan until they improve with even more first team game time & if we get better in to cover their absence. Look at Pawlett as a perfect example. A lot of people would have binned him long ago.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Shame for Low. Hopefully it's not too bad - but a broken leg is gonna keep you out for some time

 

He's never disappointed me when he's had a chance this season. His lack of games from McInnes has puzzled me

[rossafc92]

If he's broken his leg, then this puts Aberdeen in a pretty sticky situation. Contract is up in a couple of months. His recovery will be around 4-6 months minimum (I'd guess). If it's not renewed, doubt anyone would take him when he's recovering from a broken leg.

Feel Smith would definitely benefit from a loan deal in the Championship. He shows flashes of talent at times, just needs a more consistent run where he's making more of a contribution.

 

As for Peter Pawlett, I don't always think he's the best example. Think he only managed around 10 appearances in the 4 months he was at McDiarmid Park. Injury problems were just as much of an issue for him there. Meeting Graham Kirk there, though, is certainly what benefited him.

[fine-n-dandy]

Depending on the seriousness of the leg break obviously & if there are related injuries I don't think he'd be out as long as 6 months (normally).

in fact you can be back running/jogging (light fitness training) after just two months, or so in "some cases"

Don't really know what else he would have to do? Has serious bottle, drive and ability. What more is there to want?

Then what was his excuse last year? Or the season before?

 

Barry Robson is 35 years old ffs and yes, he's good but he's no world beater. Nicky Low is 22 years old ffs, he should be at his physical peak and be well established by now.

So you are saying that Low should be better than Robson because he is younger? is that your logic?

 

I think he's a great wee player and hopefully he get's more opportunities next season (if he get's a new contract)

[RUL]

I think he's average, he certainly hasn't stood out anytime i've seen him and that's with the first team and u20's.

[a don in oz]

Never been amazed by Low and at 22 he's running out of excuses for not impressing.

 

That said, still shit if he's broken his leg or otherwise got a serious injury, in particular just a few months before the end of his contract.

[The Hulk]

Depending how bad the (suspected) break is, you've got to imagine he's likely to miss a substantial chunk of pre-season and with that being the case, he'd be playing catch-up even moreso than he currently is to get into the team. I like him as a player and I'd have been willing to have given him another year to prove himself but it's not looking good for him now if this is true. A new contract for him now would be a huge sign of faith by Derek McInnes.

EDIT - too quick off the mark. A broken toe's not so serious.

[dervish]

DONS midfielder Nicky Low has been ruled out for the rest of the season because of a broken toe.

Low suffered the injury playing in their 3-1 Under-20 League defeat by Ross County at Peterhead.

Low’s toe was broken when an opponent trod on one of his feet as he attempted shoot at goal early in the first half.

He had to be carried off and X-rays confirmed the break.

[The Cockney Don]

Somewhat good news then, not as bad as first thought .

[The Boofon]

His toe would disagree.

[RUL]

Still, now we can release him without feeling bad.

[The Boofon]

Nonsense.

 

He'll play more next season.

 

Good player. Niggly little terrier. Nae scared of a tackle.

 

I like him a lot.

[TwoStars]

 

You dont really know a lot do you?

If you don't have anything to add, why say anything at all?

 

So you are saying that Low should be better than Robson because he is younger? is that your logic?

I'm saying at 22 he should be in better physical condition than Robson and pushing him and others round him far more than he is. He doesn't even get a game over Cammy Smith these days.

[robbojunior]

His toe would disagree.

 

I've broken all of my toes, some of them more than once. Minor injury really, he'll be back in no time.

[The Boofon]

Are you a toe wrestler?

[robbojunior]

As for Low as a player.

 

He's shown more than enough in the few opportunities he's been given to merit being kept on.

 

Those saying he's not done enough are probably the same ones saying Pawlett should be let go last year. Robson will play less and less and Low will get his chance I reckon.

[robbojunior]

Are you a toe wrestler?

 

No I was like a whippet on the fitba field so defenders kept standing on my toes as i knocked the ball past them.
