maverick sheep Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Mcginn has severe bruising and misses the game, so does robson, and anderson's out for a few weeks with a broken hand. @AberdeenFC: DMc:A lot of key players out but we're hopefully getting our injury problems out the way early in the season. It allows others to step up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizer Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 ABERDEEN FC striker Niall McGinn will undergo a second scan of his ankle to determine whether he will be fit for the weekend. The Dons hitman was injured in Northern Ireland’s 3-2 defeat at Luxembourg last week. McGinn had severe bruising to his ankle and was forced to sit out of the 3-0 win at Partick Thistle. He faces a race against time to be fit for the Inverness Caley Thistle clash at Pittodrie on Saturday. Boss Derek McInnes revealed that he gave the former Celtic player days off to rest this week and hopes the scan today proves positive.

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Magennis has been pretty well this season has he not? Might just be a player to be made out of a guy who is physically very capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 ABERDEEN boss Derek McInnes is waiting to discover if striker Josh Magennis needs surgery for a knee injury. Magennis will visit a specialist in London today in a bid to cure the problem that has forced him to pull out of the Northern Ireland squad for their World Cup qualifiers in Azerbaijan and Israel. McInnes admits he’s gutted to lose the frontman but insists it’s more important that the 23-year-old returns fully fit after toiling with the injury in recent weeks. The Pittodrie manager said: “We’ve had to monitor Josh’s training in the last few weeks. “It’s a knee problem which has been coming and going. “Something is irritating him on the surface of his knee. It’s nothing major but it’s at the stage now where it’s becoming more frequent. “It’s restricting his running now and has to be sorted. “Because it’s been getting worse it was always our intention to send him to a specialist. He’s off to London to see the specialist and if he thinks surgery is required, it will be done on Wednesday.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought, that said, i've not exactly seen us play that often. I dislike him less than I did previously though, seems to offer brute force with occasional skills which is great towards the end of the game.

tlg1903 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The thing with Maggenis is brute force is always going to be a relatively effective option in the spl. Some teams are more vulnerable to it then others and when they are Josh generally has a much better game. I genuinely believe its that simple. I would also add if he's been carrying an injury he is not going to be performing at his peak. He's improved, he has an excellent attitude and on the field he has his moments. Add to that he probably is not costing very much so worth keeping to see if he can improve some more imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 So next up Clark Robertson Not everybodies cup of tea, but for a young loon to have played 70 odd first team games he must have something. Seemed to collapse in a bit of a heap last night after a bit of a nothing challenge on the touchline. By the sounds of it knee ligament damage, so guaranteed to be out for a bit, guess it is just a case of how long and getting scan today. Hope its not too serious, and back in the fold soon.
