First half thoughts

Arbroath 0 - 2 Aberdeen (Rooney, Stewart)

Goes without saying that Aberdeen are a different class, still we've looked ok but no clear chances.

TOB has looked good so far, and Blair Yule has been excellent on the ball although his end product has been seriously lacking.

Not much happening from Swanks or Denholm, but maybe understandable considering opposition. Goldie really out of his depth tonight sadly.

Seems to be a few communication issues with Linn and Hammy on the left. Doris doing a great job of holding ball up ask always, but no one really running on.

Miles Story and Ryan Christie have been excellent for Aberdeen.

If we get anything, it'll likely be a set piece. I can see us shipping a few late on when conditioning becomes a factor.

Second half

Arbroath 1 (Hester) - 3 Aberdeen (Rooney, Stewart, Stockley)

Foot off the gas for Aberdeen. Stockley goal was inevitable with only one defender over 5' 10". Few decent chances.

Gold moved to CM with Henry at RB. Slight improvement. Henry looked ok, but nothing special. Gold did better than he did first half.

Skelly worked hard, but little reward. Seemed wound up. Some good runs and work from Hester, who really deserves his goal. Offer something different up top and showed a few flashes of quality. More from Denholm this half, possibly due to being moved out wider after Linn came off.

Nothing on note to speak of from any of the other trialists.

On the whole, the lads worked hard - a decent performance and an inevitable result against the second best team in the country.

TOB, Yule and Doris stood out. Really like the look of Yule.

Incidentally Sean Dillon was here, and wearing the worst pair of shoes I've ever seen. Dodged a bullet on that one!
