The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23


Guest

Recommended Posts

Press & Journal reporting this morning that they 'believe' McInnes wants to bring in a full-back before Saturday. If so, we won't be short on options, with Logan, Hoban and arguably Ball all capable of playing right-back, and Considine, Shinnie, Hoban and arguably Reynolds (although currently injured) for left-back.

We've still got by far and away the smallest and arguably weakest squad out of the top 5.

We always seem to be forever one injury and one suspension away from a whole team rotation designed to fit a round peg into a square hole.

It's actually pretty remarkable that we've played 6 competitive games this season (4 of them really tough) and haven't lost any over 90 minutes. Says a lot for the mental toughness of the players we do have.

You can’t be right, because all our players and manager are bottlers. Allegedly.

I don’t agree.

We are well covered in defence and even with a lot of injuries/suspensions we have not conceded many.

In midfield we have enough options for the two sitting Mcinnes likes to play. Wingers we are a bit short with Mcginn getting old/injury prone but Ross seems to have stepped up. Wright also had a good game behind the striker but we could do with someone else for that position as playing Ferguson along with Gleeson and Shinnie/Ball reminds me a bit of Flood, Jack and Robson playing together.

Up front I would like to see more of Anderson and May seems to be playing a bit better. Cosgrove I am rapidly of the opinion he is nowhere near Aberdeen standard. Not seen enough of Wilson to have any opinion.

Overall I think we will be at least 3rd.

cant see us bringing  in another full back in but we will be bringing in attacking midfielder or wide player ...

Agree with this.

It's difficult to see how a specialist full back would even fit in. 

Any games that are beyond tough - McInnes would favour Consi for his strength/set pieces unless the player was a huge upgrade (almost you'd say has to be international class).

Any games that are shootey in against a diddy team - McInnes would favour Shinnie to get more attacking players on the pitch

 

That doesn't leave many oppportunties for a left back and signing a right back would be even more baffling
