We need some grit in the middle; he’s out of contract and young enough to develop and sell. Worth a look? Should be relatively inexpensive but maybe not Balkan enough. @RandomGuy., what do the radars say compared to our current options? Say Shinnie, Baron and Polvara? I'd happily drive him up the road for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 55 minutes ago, coprolite said: Starting to think i may not have a future in scouting Folk are being harsh, IMO. Phillips is one who'll probably struggle at a better side who see more possession, as he really struggles to be consistent with all types of passes. Give him freedom to push up and press opponents and he'll be an asset to someone like Aberdeen though IMO. Barron, Phillips, McGrath would be a great CM trio for this league IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Funnily this thinks Shinnie this season is the most similar to Phillips, if I look through Aberdeen players. Might be a decent, leggier, replacement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our best outfield player, however faint that praise may be. Energetic, good tackler and can twist and turn his way out of trouble. As mentioned, it’d be good to see him alongside more creative players as he can be wasteful in possession. Regardless of some Saints fans on here not rating him, without him in our team right now our midfield would be many times worse! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Phillips is a bottom six player on his best days, barely passable in the championship on an off day. He does the difficult things well then will misplace a simple five yard pass. He's indisciplined at times (although not as bad as he was), loses runners constantly and doesn't really offer anything going forward (which I appreciate isn't his role in the team). I don't disagree that he's one of our best outfield players, I just think that sums up perfectly where we are right now as he wouldn't even get on the bench in our double winning season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Pelters for this maybe but... Mitov Keltjens - McGowan - Gordon - Robinson Wright - MacPherson - Phillips - Jaiyesimi Sidibeh - Kimpioka Is probably our best 11 just now until Sprangler is back? Get them on the park and let's see what happens in the next 4 games (and potentially play offs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingswellsRed Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Could see this being a draw. No doubt Shinnie back in but I would prefer to us continue without him starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Looking like this will be our last game with the Browns as owners too. Be good if they get to go out on a high. Edited May 4 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Here's a retired 80yo, a retired car salesman, and an ex-footballer who's up in court for drunken assault and has no transferable skills. You figure out why we've struggled to act like a football club. Suspect/hope over the course of the next 12 months we'll see a shift in who's there. Do think there'll be some controversy when he tries to either dilute shares, or buy shares, of fans to allow other American investors to own a part of the club too though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) I was thinking after the Youth Cup final the other night that Scott Anderson must be the next cab off the rank for the interim gig in February next season. An earlier than expected opportunity to stake his claim today. Edited May 4 by DrewDon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
