December 11, 201411 yr comment_162225 Also, have to say that was a brilliant take and ball by Monakana... Report
December 11, 201411 yr comment_162236 I know it touched the ground but as he lobbed the keeper I thought to myself "Hmm Mimms, Nicholas, Gillhaus" then the bloody clip of it played... Report
April 4, 201511 yr comment_164672 How'd he play today? Live text said he was "lively" at the start. Report
April 4, 201511 yr comment_164673 Showed a decent touch a few times but there was little service so hard to judge manc Report
April 4, 201511 yr comment_164674 Showed a decent touch a few times but there was little service so hard to judge manc Something we've been struggling with since Hayes was injured ( I know he returned today ). Hopefully it's not a one off for Shankland, was a perfect game to blood him. Report
April 5, 201511 yr comment_164703 I'm not sure it was the right game for him. I'm glad he's worked his way into estimations, but we had to change the system and effectively sacrifice Rooney out wide to make it work. As a result, I don't think we saw the best from either man. Shankland did show some good touches, and worked himself some space here and there. He certainly didn't look overawed or out-of-his-depth at any point, but I think (retrospectively) he'd have been better coming on later. The crowd would have got a lift, he'd have been up against weary defenders, and we might not have had to start with such a lopsided formation. Report

The crowd would have got a lift, he'd have been up against weary defenders, and we might not have had to start with such a lopsided formation. You're probably right, but I suppose I was seeing it from the point of view that it was a team with less to play for than us. They're not getting relegated and we still need to tie up second place. We shouldn't be changing the system to accommodate though, it reminds me of something once said...footballers are stupid, just stick with 4-4-2 and they'll know what they're doing. Report
April 14, 201511 yr comment_165073 hope he gets a good run out before end the season, be great see him get a goal or 2 so in he goes into the summer on a right high. Report

July 14, 201510 yr comment_167374 If true you would assume we would need to be bringing in an additional player. I think this is the kind of move he needs. A competitive league and hopefully a lot of starts. Hopefully he'll come back ready to compete for first team places, because I was far from convinced by him last season. Definitely need another striker though, one with pace. Report
July 14, 201510 yr comment_167375 I always thought McManus would be more complimentary to our style of play, rather than Shankland. He looks a strong player, but I'm not sure where the extra burst of pace is going to come from to set him apart from others. I think he is a long way off our first team if I'm honest. Report
July 14, 201510 yr comment_167376 Time will tell, can't see anyone going or coming in before Thursday though Report
July 15, 201510 yr comment_167384 Shankland can't be allowed to go anywhere without us bringing in an experienced striker either permanently or on season loan. Don't fancy going through the season without this, as an injury to Rooney and we're fucked for back up. Report
July 28, 201510 yr comment_167605 The headline implies it's done but I think it's a typo. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/aberdeen-fc/st-mirren-sign-dons-striker-shankland-on-season-long-loan/ Must be someone coming in pretty sharpish if this is happening Report

He'd get good game time and time to better his first team experience. Would love to see him develop into the player a lot of people have hoped / raved about. Report
