That's 9 goals and 2 assists for the season. Hopefully he's benefiting from the loan and continues to develop. Marshall was in the City team. Must be tough playing in a team that have only gathered 5 points all season and are expected to lose every week. That's the kind of gig people refer to as character building. Anyone know if the club are happy with their progress and likelihood of getting near the first team next season or if they need another season loaned out, maybe at Championship level? I think Bavidge is a class act. Hope he breaks through at Aberdeen next season. 2 Link to comment

Can only guess club would be happy with what they've done. At 18 they may well get put out again but hopefully new manager gives them a chance. Often experience and then a chance is what these young lads need eg Finn Yeats at Falkirk who we let go at 17/18 Yr old played vast majority of games this season. Still only 19 and doing great at that level but who knows if he'd have kicked on to our level if given the chance. Think he's cousin of Lewis Carrol who'll hopefully sign a pro contract with us but well documented some bigger clubs tracking him Link to comment

Said it a few times on here but I liked what I saw of Marshall in pre-season games. Doesn't seem to be one who is content with coming in and making a few touches, wants to impact the game. Anyone else able to shed light on whether he has a chance of making it with us? Link to comment

Going to be very difficult I think. A decent player but not top level probably. Bavidge is and will surely be in first team next season. Lewis Carroll signed a professional contract Link to comment

I get that we want to give them a chance but he needs to be playing pretty regular at his age or it will just be another Ryan Duncan or cammy smith. 1 Link to comment

Ryan Duncan a funny one as he was an integral part at times of the 7 in a row Robson side last year, hasn’t really happened for him since Link to comment

Never been given a run in the team in his 'natural' position either Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We need to get Alfie in and around the team. Other clubs manage to get young players into their teams, no reason why we can't. Nae point loaning him out til his contract ends then watching him leave on compensation. We need to be a bit braver as a club with young players and show them a bit of patience as supporters (which we are terrible at most of the time) 2 Link to comment

Haven’t seen many signs of players benefiting from such ‘character building’ opportunities in the current first team given similar situation 🤔 Link to comment

Fantastic news as based off what I've read (largely yourself and Soot_stander they are meant to be quality prospects for us Refreshing to see guys commit to us rather than go down south to go for the big bucks relatively speaking Link to comment
