Plenty of experience - in the top 20 of all time most RoI caps. His career seems to have tapered off in recent years He might still have something to offer. Although I did see a blog describing him as a Gary McDonald “ghost” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and WBA all apparently after him and on a permanent rather than the loan we'd want then it's hard to imagine in what situation he pitches up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Scott Burns reporting we are in advanced talks with a few players and Hendrick will likely choose an English Championship side over us if presented the opportunity. He also said of Allan Campbell that "will not be Happening". Also forget about Mattie Pollock signing as he "is not an active option". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunbartonshireRed Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Campbell might not be happening but there seems to be a good chance that Baccus is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to see him back but the constant posts on twitter about him getting boring. If he was keen it would happened before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I seem to remember him being a great player up until earlier in the summer but the St Mirren thread has now demoted him to average. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know its fucked when youre forcing wingers to be wing backs and refusing to allow CMs freedom to attack just to play the shape. Davidson-esque set up, and stubbornness over the shape, I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing backs having to cover too much ground so either defence or attack are isolated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hacken play the 3 up front in the first leg too? It was kind of obvious pretty early that Morris was struggling to defend and they were sitting folk high to exploit that. Unsure why it never changed at any point for Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit more end to end than tonight then they shat themselves after we scored. You could play that Same starting line up we had tonight in a 4-3-3 easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap option given a significant budget which he looks like has blown on some very average players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Shinnie is reminding me of late stage Scott Severin. Wants to be the superman box to box midfielder, but his body is clearly slowing down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraniteGype Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Aye. Absolutely wedded to 3-5-2. We have zero in game tactical nous to tweak the formation or system - we only rotate players and hope for a reaction. Playing 3 on 3 at the back leaves so little margin for error and is asking a hellavah lot from your wing backs…… especially when one of them is Morris. At the other end of the pitch, you just can’t miss sitters like that repeatedly to succeed at this level. Clutching for some positives tonight…. I thought we played some nice stuff in spells and overall I thought Jensen looked decent. McGarry was great first half but tired.
