lubo_blaha Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I would take Alnwick in as competition for Lewis at least, if not first choice. Ronan would be a good singing for us too, I’m sure wolves would accept a hundred grand or two to get him off the wage bill. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not really followed Hladkys career since he left us but it does surprise me that he’s not a regular starter, he’s an excellent goalkeeper. I know he done well at Salford to get his move to Ipswich, and I’m sure he’s on a pretty wage, but he did genuinely seem to have a bond with St Mirren and I know both himself and his wife enjoyed living in Scotland. Would love to see him back in Paisley but with the reputation he has I would imagine bigger teams than us would be enquiring. Rangers could do worse than getting him in as McGregors replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis has been a good servant to Aberdeen and an excellent keeper over his time. Right now Alnwick is the better keeper, no question. I'd be surprised if Ronan ended up at Aberdeen. Think he'll be playing in England next season, either Championship or League 1. I think he's good enough for the Championship but a lot of clubs down there still think someone who's playing in Scotland is a bit of a risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Dunne has had a couple of poor games, last night was his poorest, but over the season he’s been pretty good for me. Interesting for me is that I would never expect to have seen a Goodwin team ship 4 cheap goals like last night. Robinson needs to sort out the defensive frailties on show last night, if we are to have any hopes of a top six placing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Last night was a disappointment. But it was worth being there just to see Conors goal. The making of Robinson will not be defined by what happens between now and the end of the season. It will be how he shapes a side for the next campaign. Plenty going out the door so he will have a lot of work to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hladky is a bit of a Jack Hamilton figure of fun on the Ipswich forum when I had a look a few month back. He'd be excellent signing for Aberdeen as opposed to Alnwick. St Mirren fans will obviously know more but I don't think you've got a half bad keeper in Lyness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very surprising to hear. He’s one of the most consistent ‘keepers I’ve seen in Scottish football. I genuinely can’t recall one mistake he made in his time at St Mirren. His handling, kicking and shot stopping were all excellent. It’s a difficult position and it’s possible hes had a bit of bad luck at Ipswich, as can happen to even the best of goalkeepers. Doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy that would be happy sitting on the bench every week either, it would be good to see him back in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably ask for double that now. Easily. Goals like that last night will only attract more attention. Maybe grasping at straws but I'd definitely rather not be facing him next season. 19 minutes ago, glenburn bud said: Dunne has had a couple of poor games, last night was his poorest, but over the season he’s been pretty good for me.

Robinson needs to sort out the defensive frailties on show last night, if we are to have any hopes of a top six placing. It's a fine balancing act. We shipped plenty of cheap goals under Goodwin, look at Aberdeen away earlier this season. We seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. We don't want to be watching shitfest football week in week out, it puts folk off and its easy to turn on the manager after a few bad results, look at Motherwell with Alexander. When you open up more to attack teams you leave yourself open at the back like last night. It's a hard balancing act but it's a problem that needs a solution in the next 3 games. Gogic and Power are our insurance in midfield to let the full backs push up ect. If we had a few defenders like Shaughnessy we'd be laughing but sadly we don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Ronan, Jones, Alnwick, Gogic, and Tanser out of contract ? Did he sign a one or two year deal? We’ll have a very different team next season. Im happy enough to let Robinson rebuild his own team. Recruitment will be very interesting to say the least. He’s got good contacts south of the border, we just need to hope he recruits well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Slightly off-topic but does anyone know if the guy who recommended McCarthy & McGrath is a contact of Goodwin's or the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I would like McCarthy back in the team as he is a good defender and a good distributor when he has the ball. Dunne could play at left back as he has played there before and his speed would have helped last night in keeping up with opposition wingers. For me that solves two issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only chance of Ronan being at Aberdeen next season (& it’s slim) is if a few things happen. - Dons sell Lewis Ferguson - possible - Wolves sell him & we replace Ferguson with him - possible - He doesn’t get an offer from a decent Championship club - unlikely. With all that above, IMO he’ll end up at a lower end Championship club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyness is indeed excellent as is Urmansky, Would like Alnwick to stay not too bothered if he goes (If? He's certain to go ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
