RussellAnderson Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Keeper did well I thought, goal aside. Even then, it's a terrific header from the lad. Reynolds out, McLean in, shift Shinnie to LB and have a right go at them. Forgot I'd be at T in the Park for this one, raging ! Oh and Paulo: not who I thought which is good. My pals not a bellend and I don't know why I ever would have thought he'd be him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free header and a cracking one at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PudgieTheSheep Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Gie the laddie McLean a chance. Wee Gordon didn't exactly set the heather alight immediately upon arriving at Aberdeen Nor did Hayes and he's one of our most influential players now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'd like to see this on Thursday: Ward Logan Taylor Consi Shinnie McGinn Jack McLean Hayes Rooney Goodwillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PudgieTheSheep Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It's funny that people say McLean has been a disappointment then still proceed to want him played out of position. Why? How's in the centre of midfield with Jack being played out of position? I'd go with GTG's team but with McGinn up top with Rooney and Pawlett wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He's an attacking midfielder or sits behind the striker. We play two defensive mids in that line-up. He's not a defensive mid. McLean was at his best for us when he was pushed right up with the striker, almost as a second forward. You're spot on, he's wasted in a deeper role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that would turn into a diamond more than two deep in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Give McLean the free role. Against this lot away he should get some space in front of the defence to do something. He also has a good shot and they might line up backs to the wall. Might need a moment of magic which he (or McGinn or Hayes) could provide. Derek won't drop Flood. He won't drop Jack. You've got to have Shinnie on and I think the natural thing to do is shift him back to defence. Either Considine or Quinn will partner Taylor, I'd go for Considine, more experience on the Euro stage. That leaves either Goodwillie, Pawlett or McLean to come in. Pawlett will get bullied but is a good impact sub to have. Goodie I don't think is any good and offers less deeper. McLean can create and score (admittedly hasn't shown it for us yet) and is my choice. As for Brown/Ward it was a gamble to stick Ward in and it didn't backfire as much as it could've. For that reason I'd keep him in. Goalkeeping is a mental game and dropping one in the middle of a tie shows a major lack of trust. Ward Logan Consie/Quinn Taylor Shinnie Jack McGinn McLean/Pawlett/Goodie(further forward)Flood Hayes Rooney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I would start Pawlett. He looked dangerous when he came on in the last game and the opposition won't have sussed out how to deal with his preference of driving into space in the middle of the pitch, like a lot of Scottish teams have. The referee also won't be aware of his reputation to go to ground easily so will be more likely to win fouls, especially if there are a few heavy challenges. McLean could also be effective if we're pushing on and playing high up the park and would play Considine ahead of Quinn, simply because he's more used to playing with Taylor and will give the defence more balance.

Ward Logan Taylor Considine Shinnie McGinn Pawlett Jack McLean Hayes Rooney Good points on Pawlett. Either him or McLean for me. Del won't drop Flood, he played 3 df mids away, he'll have at least 2 in at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McLean is a good player and I don't see him as a disappointment. Basic 4 4 2 with Jack holding and McLean going forward. If we go at them I think we will win by a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milners Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) McLean been a big disappointment Same could be said about Jonny Hayes when he first joined the club and look at him now.

NorthernLights Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Goalkeeper Jamie Langfield could call time on his Aberdeen career after a decade at Pittodrie. St Mirren and Dunfermline are both keen on the 35-year-old. (Daily Express) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/scottish/gossip/ Shite source it has to be said but wouldn't be surprised if he does leave. Ward and Brown have been ahead of him so far this season and I'm sure if we could get Langfield off the wage bill to bring in another outfield player we would take the chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Clangers should be reason enough for getting rid of Clangers. If he gets someone to take over his contract then that's absolutely fantastic and we should be quids in for getting a decent standard of player in now or in January with the extra cash. Things are starting to look very, very bright! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this deal was done before Ward become on loan so I very much doubt if we get another outfield player in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hopefully that means Considine in the middle and Shinnie at left back. Nothing against Paul Quinn, I just want to see Shinnie in his strongest position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
