"Told yi so" He looked alright initially, beat his man a few times and swing some crosses in. But being a wing back, he needs to be able to actually defend as well. Was just watching his defending off for Altanta 2 again, he is brutal to watch. Above is his "highlights" reel. He looks much better going forward than defending. Link to comment

Looked like a kid who didnt know what to do when the ball arrived at him. Dog dirt and called it immediately. As WW says, 25/26 years old and never played a senior game of football until signing for us was never going to go well. Link to comment

Brown sits, and McCrorie and Ferguson have the energy to do the running. That would be the best bet at the moment. McGeouch and Campbell are options instead of Brown but neither can control a game. Ojo has had one game where he's played above himself, the rest he's played to his level (which is an improvement on previous seasons where he was utter gash, but it's still not that great). Guys like Kennedy, McLennan, Hedges, Jenks, Hayes, McGinn and JET are all in the mix for the second forward role, rather than midfield. With Hedges and Hayes out I think I'd go with JET as he has at least produced one or two good moments. Kennedy and McLennan aren't good enough. McGinn is done. Jenks is stinking. Link to comment

Nearly as bad as the infamous Teddy Jenks "highlight" reel... Link to comment

Ah maybes. The way he described the bottom guys as in the mix for the second forward role made me assume 2 up front, so 4 1 3 2 or something. Link to comment

I have no words for how bad Jack Gurr was, other than it’s hardly a surprise. Or shouldn’t be.

Tord31 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Off the top of my head I think Qarabag's results this season are 0-0 1-0 1-1 1-0 1-1 Surely thats suggests we need to go all out defensive and we should be coming back to pittodrie still in the tie 5 at the back. 1 Link to comment

Bournemouth Gee Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 My concern will be the lack of pace in our side. Could find ourselves penned in for large portions of this game. Link to comment

If we’re relying on him (with Hayes & Hedges out for a good while potentially) then we’re going to struggle. If he has a brain, it isn’t a football one. Link to comment

Parklife Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 No tv announcement for this one yet? I see Premier sports are showing St Johnstone. Unlikely they'd pay for 2 overlapping games you'd think. BBC Scotland will hopefully pick up the coverage. Link to comment
DandyWarhol Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Premier Sports maybe being a bit cynical and thinking they've already picked up this month's subscription money from Aberdeen fans so no point shelling out to cover more matches already, whereas they haven't shown any St Johnstone games yet so will pick up some money by showing their match instead. As you say, hopefully the BBC will show our game. Link to comment
