I was watching the feed with no commentary admittedly, but I thought that he looked as if he thinks he's a world beater, but he isn't. He tried so many flicks and tricks and only one came off, and that's because he was playing against Stirling Albion. Also seemed to hit both the post and the bar from about three yards out. But I'm obviously going to give him a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highloon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Shout out to Jim Goodwin and his players for the chats and photos with my Son tonight. He is well chuffed with the interaction, photos, and signatures on one of his Dons tops. Class! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does look to have genuine pace though.............and early impressions are the raw bustling (somewhat unPortuguese looking) nature of his game may mean his performances range from peak Dingus on a good day (when the flicks and tricks somehow work) to an off-form Josh Magennis on a bad day (when nothing will stick). Doooooooook.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doooooooook.... I was rather harsh. After speaking to my son who was at the game, I'll retract most of my criticisms. A hat trick against Celtic will do for Dook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to get back to a level after last season disaster season and it is a major rebuild so maybe short team this is a quick fix solution to get back into Europe. I should also add yesterday Scales was fantastic and looked really good this season so far so hopefully we can sign him in the future but will be annoyed if goes back to Celtic and become a first team regular.

I'm sure if the only way to get the player right now wasn't on loan, then AFC would have done what it takes (within reason and budget). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyDickFingers Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I see Ronan was rested by Wolves tonight so he's fit for the Raith game. 15 subs, 10 of which played.... Nice of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Bates being linked with a move to a number of English sides - Derby, Bristol City and Ipswich being mentioned. Would leave Watkins and Rameriz as the only two signings left from last summer's disastrous transfer window left if Bates goes I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) When is Connor McLennan likely to take the well trodden path from Pittodrie to Balmoral? He's not getting a game for you boys this season and will surely be loaned out before he's kicked out by Goodwin? Evan Towler is with us for the year. Was surprised we went for him, thought we'd try and ask for Ngwenya who's got more experience and probably needs a year, or two, in the Championship before challenging for a starting position in the SPL. Big step up from L2 to the Championship for young Evan and made much harder currently by us having no left winger in front of him. Looks tenacious in the challenge but prone to a clumsy lunge or two. Offensively his delivery needs some improvement but that'll come with practice, time and confidence.
