Ruby, Jensen, and Milne have all got another two years (2026) MacDonald has one (2025) The simple play would be to let Gartenmann return to his parent club and look to bring in a first pick CB to play alongside MacDonald or Ruby with the other two as back up. Next year let MacDonald go and let the progress of Ruby and Milne dictate what level of CB we need to bring in. 4 Link to comment
Turra red Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Clearly the red helped and we should have scored at least a couple more but for me the most obvious sign of improvement lay in defence. We look much much more assured whilst also taking more short passes out from the back which would have caused us heaps of issues earlier in the season. Defending set pieces in the last few weeks we have also looks much better at clearing our lines which is a positive Duk ripped their left back to bits which was pleasant viewing and hoilett gives us a chance from attacking set pieces. Ultras seemed to enjoy playing head tennis too! Shout our to the man behind me who did a one man boo to stephen o'donnel when he went off before shouting "I fucking hate you o'donnel" just to make sure we were all aware of the direction of his booing!

I get what you are saying but none of us know if Milne is good enough to play CB or RB consistently, all for keeping him around and giving him a chance though. Link to comment

Milne is at that stage of a player's development we always seem to have trouble with. Keep him in the first team next season where he'll at best be second choice RB to a player who is rarely unavailable or fifth choice CB, or send him on loan to a team at a decent level (Championship?) where he should get regular game time and more experience.

Millertime Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 1 hour ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Our decision making & then execution of the final ball after they went down to 10 was so bad. Hoilett’s pass to Miovski Sokler being 1 on 1 with the goalie & somehow ending up with his back to goal Sokler’s mishit when Motherwell presented him an open goal. There were one or two others. Complete lack of composure. Still, today has ended any lingering worries about the play off spot. Just get Thelin over, let him view the squad & let’s get the rebuild going. You missed miovskis miss from hoiletts ball too, for some reason 1 Link to comment

It was unlike first half of the season miovski, agreed Link to comment

Aye, agree. He is far too rash & coughs up chances, fouls, the occasional penalty all because he’s caught out of position trying to win every ball, Maybe being alongside a calm, experienced defender would help him. IMO, the jury is still out. Love his attitude & he’s obviously loving being here, I just hope he realises you can’t attack every ball or win every tackle. Link to comment

starryfish Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I don’t mean to be too critical but I thought Devlin was dreadful again today, second half of the season feel he has tailed off quite a bit, definitely one of a number of areas we can improve in 1 Link to comment

Once we are officially safe (hopefully next weekend) he'll get games, hopefully alongside MacDonald so we can see whether they can be a decent pairing or not. Link to comment
Sheeptastic Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Kettlewell's comments on the red card just stupid. Means when he has legitimate criticism of bad refereeing decisions he probably won't be taken seriously. The line about MacKenzie 'charging in' and not having the right to win the ball is ridiculous.

Has the sort of attitude and abilities (or sometimes lack of ability) that could lead to cult status. I expect he'll one day be the answer to the question "Which Dons player hospitalised three opposition players in a single challenge and received four red cards, one for each severed limb?"

Durrant Dived Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It was a poor 1st half and only better when they went down to 10. Must admit first viewing from Section Y I thought the red was harsh and was going to get rescinded when VAR intervened but i have not seen it back. Big 3 points and we should have buried them with the late chances. Mon ih dons. Link to comment
