Would be a huge boost if he along with a few over youngsters could come into the first team and be the real deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Sadly, with no new signings coming in (especially up front) it seems inevitable that we're going to be subjected to the same turgid guff that has cursed us for the last couple of years. We desperately need to find an attacking formula that will work with either Cosgrove or Main in the team, because we really have nobody else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh and Hoban (both extended). Watkins not returning this season already been said. Trying to keep Edmondsson. Brought Anderson and Virtannen back. Don’t see much scope there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen should not have been recalled if we are skint. Anderson was forced upon us. Hopefully scores today to repay us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully scores today to repay us I doubt Arbroath would have been paying a huge amount of Virtanen's wage outside of appearance bonuses. I was under the impression players on loan to part-time teams train with us during the week as teams like Arbroath only train twice a week or so. If Anderson gets a chance today I’ll be very surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hooked at half time for Arbroath as he was unfit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Edmondson has returned to Leeds United. Good luck to him - given we already have two robust forwards, hopefully this opens up space to do some kind of business in a more priority position - even if it's a loan on 31st Jan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young lad must have wondered what happened? Seemed to be doing well then Curtis Main became a must start player in nobodies eyes but the manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Other than the Hamilton game not sure edmondson ever really showed his worth. Albeit he didn’t get a great deal of opportunity. if both he and main are shite I suppose it’s in mcinnes’ interest to keep our actual player happy rather than the January loanee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Granted that most of Edmondson's appearances seemed to be for about 5 or 10 minutes at the end of games, but he didn't show anything in his time here to suggest that we will miss him in the second half of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it Anderson will take his place on the bench for the remainder of season before being released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The time has come for Dean Campbell to show exactly why it is that he's getting a game. Once again yesterday, the match just passed him by. He gets a foot in once or twice and breaks up an attack, but that seems to be about it. For the rest of the time he seems content to let Ferguson (and McCrorie) do all the hard work. McInnes seems to see something in him, but I'm just not getting it. Looks like a waste of a shirt at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Behaviour Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Feel for Deano as he does get chucked into the deep end some times. Things are a bit stop start for him and to be thrown in and to stamp your authority on games can't be particularly easy. Thought he was alright the other week against St J. Probably someone who needs a loan but it won't happen. Edited January 11, 2021 by Irrational Behaviour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also difficult for him, because naturally he's going to get compared to Ferguson and McCrorie, who are both brick shithouses and in lots of ways the kind of absolute freaks we haven't had since the days of Simmie and Neale Cooper.....youngsters that come into the side and instantly have not only a physical, but a leadership presence. Still, it's a man's game and Campbell is taking up a shirt. At the moment he isn't offering enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean needs to step up and offer a bit more. Derek likes a midfielder who can sit on the ball and make the simple passes but we need more with the current system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just about get away with Dean's role in a 3 man midfield but not two. It's almost unfair on him playing him in a two as he doesn't have it in his locker to contribute enough (yet?), let alone against the best team in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
