I don't think any are good enough to start though. I don't think we have a poor or even average squad. It's certainly underperforming though. We’ll have to disagree. I think it’s a much worse squad than can be made out, it’s unbalanced, lacks pace, creativity and quality in the centre of defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelheart Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Connor Barron was at us start of season on loan and played brilliantly at our level , good to see he’s getting a start , hopefully he turns into a wee star , Ngwenya has been more than decent at left back for us so maybe he can get into your first team as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was completely anonymous last night as the game passed him by (he wasn't the only one to be fair). He's another youngster that has enormous potential but needs a platform to find his feet and time to make mistakes. I'm not sure that he has either with this current Aberdeen side. he’s welcome back at Kelty anytime to find his feet neeb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Could really do with Watkins, Considine and McCrorie back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 How long is Watkins out for? Since Del left the communication on player status has really dried up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a much worse squad than can be made out, it’s unbalanced, lacks pace, creativity and quality in the centre of defence. If everyone is fit then I think there's enough pace and creativity with two of Watkins, Hayes and Vicente playing on the wing. Injuries have really fucked us over. No excuse as every squad gets their fair share. We seem to get more than most and probably something we should look to change with the recruitment going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 11 hours ago, NorthernLights said: I don't think it is. Too many players who are injury prone or living off past reputations for it to be a good squad. I went through our squad list as it is on Wikipedia and quickly did a "keep" and "punt" list. Keep... Joe Lewis Ross McCrorie Jack MacKenzie Andrew Considine Christian Ramirez Vicente Besuijen Jonny Hayes Lewis Ferguson Michael Ruth Connor Barron Calvin Ramsay Punt... Declan Gallagher Michael Devlin Marley Watkins Scott Brown Adam Montgomery Jay Emmanuel-Thomas Dylan McGeouch Funso Ojo Connor McLennan Teddy Jenks Gary Woods David Bates Matty Kennedy Dean Campbell I really hope that Goodwin has a good eye for a player and has a list already forming for the summer. We've had a fair number of transfer windows that have failed to strength or improve the squad now and its really showing now. Did the Buddies' fans not say that he didn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I'm not holding out much hope for Considine returning as a player who will command a first team place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 We’re needing a hell of a clear out in the summer but that could involve some expensive pay offs considering most of the deadwood we have are contracted until 2023 Only Hayes, Considine, McGeough and Ojo are out of contract in the summer and 1 year extensions wouldn’t surprise me for the first two Expect we will move on / negotiate early releases for Brown & JET at least Think Lewis might move on as well if rumours are to be believed but he’s under contract until 2024 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 That Hearts performance was in the top 3 worst performances of the season. It's looking unlikely that we get in the top 6 but there is still a small chance with our last 3 games. Aberdeen budget for top 6 so will next season we have to trim the wage bill? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 There's multiple players wanting away, I think that's clear. Brown probably, Ferguson definitely, Ramirez probably, Gallagher maybe, Lewis allegedly. Amongst others I'm sure. Just looks like the chips are down and it's gone stagnant. This is all rumour-mill stuff and based on nothing but I do wonder if some of the 'old guard' have struggled with the change of regime - from McInnes' by all accounts laid back approach to training to the bigger demands made by Glass and now Goodwin, although too early to say obviously. Anyway. COYR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
