Iminavest Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Only worry with McCrorie is that Mcinnes moves him around too much, trying to give game time to others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a wee shudder during McInnes's interview where he talked about McCrorie playing 'wherever I ask him'. Sky showed today that McCrorie and Ferguson were tied together in the centre of the park.....where they should be.....and never gave Hibs a kick all day. Keep it like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed at the notion Rangers didn't want to play against him this season but on that showing today I'm beginning to see why. Much more than a hatchet man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The last two performances has made me very positive about this Aberdeen team season. Al the new signings look good, Hayes hasn't lost his speed yet, Hoban if fit is an amazing player, Watkins has been so positive with his speed and also hold up play, while the McCrorie looks amazing in defence or Midfield. The last 2 seasons have been disappointing the type of Football we have played but there is no excuses this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrorie is (deservedly) getting the plaudits, but it's true that Watkins looks....amazingly...to the manner born. A guy that only a few of us remember from ICT comes out of nowhere and right from the start shows the intelligence, application and ability to lead the line. It's impressive. We only have him until January on loan....we should be looking at getting him in permanently, especially with Cosgrove leaving.

If Cosgrove is sold this summer I can see us potentially trying to make Watkins stay a permanent one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Main has been better for us than I expected when he signed, but Watkins brings a different dimension to both him and Cosgrove. It's been a concern for a while that having Cosgrove or even Main as your centre-forward makes it too tempting just to lump the ball up. Watkins doesn't carry the goal threat that Cosgrove does, but he forces us to play a bit more football and is better with the ball at his feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen are better than that, it's just an easy option when he plays. I would grab the money for him now and get back to playing fitba, rather than hoofba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Watkins would be a good replacement for Main and Anderson. However I think we'd be looking to find a goalscorer to replace Cosgrove when he leaves which presumably is now looking like Jan 31st 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big al Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Watkins looks a decent enough signing and helps the team play a better style of football, but a concern with him must be how many goals will he score? Dont think he has been prolific in the past either. Everyone raving about McCrorie, and some of it is a tad over the top. He’s playing well but definitely needs to improve in possession. For me Hoban has been very comfortable in the 2 recent games he has played and can become even more influential with more games. He deserves an injury free run surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can stay fit, I would like to see him and McKenna get a run of games together, either as a centre-back pairing or as part of a three with Considine or Taylor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably not Taylor for me but yes Hoban and McKenna have the makings of something good there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 A positive after yesterday is that it will be some time before we have another Hibs v Aberdeen/Aberdeen v Hibs match thread. Some of these guys are unbelievable and some of our posters are as bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
