Don't think Ricky played in that one 2-1 win to stay up in the Danny Lennon years Gareth Wardlaw? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say, I'm not sure you can claim we played well that night - although perhaps I am being unfair. Two lucky goals and a Samson penalty shoot-out masterclass is my recollection. Perhaps you are right, and we've had decent performances since the mid 2000s but we've certainly not had enough of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I suspect a few will go out on loan, mainly youngsters. However, Stubbs wants competition for every place, which suggests at least 22 in the first team squad, bolstered by some kids. I'm pleased that we're starting to see a squad materialise, and I think had the manager been in place from the end of last season it may have been largely in place a lot sooner and be more settled.Completely agree. I think you’ve been the voice of reason thus far. I’m not concerned by the apparent lack of experience of Stubbs’ signings. Every signing is a gamble whether they’ve played 3 games or 300 games. Stubbs hasn’t been given a fair chance and people are looking to jump on every little thing he has done. I think the players has told can go and has already let go have been good decisions. Better understanding between the defence and we can push on. We were in limbo for a few weeks while Jack Ross spoke to every club in the land and Stubbs got up to speed with the squad that remained. No reason to be concerned with the squad not yet finished. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too many people would describe Kenny McLeans goal that night as "lucky" . As for the result , we totally deserved to go through and should have won it in 90mins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People aren't even just jumping on things he's done, there are people jumping on things he hasn't done or even made any suggestion he is going to do, such as dropping Stephen McGinn. It's been a bit depressing to be honest, there is quite a vocal minority who are absolutely desperate for him to fail. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought you were talking about a different game, it's only then it's twigged. I thought our goals came from Parkin and (Josh) Magennis. Actually to be fair I didn't remember it as being Parkin at all until I checked out the report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/20053690 Magennis scored that night alright, just for a different team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've witnessed very few victories at Pittodrie over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see what our defence makes of Cosgrove. He's a bit of a unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players from Premiership teams in England are a class above when it gets to the level Alfie is at. As long as he does the business that will do will. Now get another striker and a winger in.

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 We ran a mini bus up to Pittodrie for the game when Wardlaw scored to secure our survival. Absolute carnage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No media outlet was picking it up then. So, let's confirm, before our game they stabbed some visiting fans, during our game they bottled children and after our game they clash with Slovenian police. And people wonder why there is a dislike for the club. Edited August 17, 2018 by Buddist Monk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Kellerman away to AFC Fylde, in the National League, on loan for the season. That's the same division that he came from. Good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
