I never really felt we saw enough of Samuels to make a judgement either way 2bh, he only made 6 appearances and 3 of those were off the bench. The few times he did appear I didn't think he was completely useless and his pace looked to be causing teams some problems at times. It didn't help that those games were when our defence was leaking a lot of cheap goals and the team was under way more pressure. Regardless though he had become deadwood and its good to see us shedding some of that.
Re Clark and Lewis aye that did raise my eyebrow a wee bit as goalie is not a problem position at the moment. I wonder if Joe is considering his options after essentially having the captaincy taken from him. Or maybe just wants to be closer to family down south blah blah blah. If he is off Clark is a more than adequate replacement I would say.
I don't think many central midfielders in Scotland would enjoy playing against brown and shinnie even at this stage of their careers but it's creativity we need to add.
This was always going to be a transitional season given the complete change of focus on how to play. Given 8 years of Conservative Mcinnes ball being coached at aberdeen that is going to take time. Ultimately the dice have been rolled and I think we just have to see how it plays out. If we are trigger happy with glass it instantly reduces the standard of applicant because who's going to want to take the job if they don't think they will be given a fair crack at the whip to carry out a big undertaking.
All that said its a big transfer window for glass. Could make or break him.
Fancy us for this, their defence is all over the shop. I think the big decision is whether or not to start jenks over Jet after his winning goal last time out.
3-1 dons, their defence is all over the place. Watkins 2 and ramirez
4 games in ten days. I don't recall that ever happening before
About as good a draw as we could have hoped for I would say. Defo winnable and none of those teams will be happy about drawing us on current form you would think
I understand why you say that given the career he's had but I'm not sure you're right there. Time will tell but I think he could be one of these players that doesn't really kick on till he hits his mid 20's and becomes a proper adult for lack of a better way of putting it.
Saints were as stuffy as expected. We deserved the win but under current rules I'm glad we don't have var yet cos that was getting ruled out for handball.
Their defence is all over the place too, it really lacks leadership.
Neil has said a fair few times he has no interest in coming back to Scotland but would be a really good appt if they got him
