This sums it up for me. Goals are scarce, a change needs to happen, so give Ruth a proper chance to show what he can do. Otherwise why bother taking him on loan ?
He came highly rated by the Aberdeen support, has played first team football with Queens Park at 16, as well as making an odd appearance for Aberdeen (I think). He looks pacy and direct so totally different to what we have at the moment.
Kind of agree about Smith. He hasn't had much of a chance but has struggled to get into the game when he has come on. Mostly coming on as a sub late in the game could be a factor though.
