Ten Caat Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Have we looked good or are St J crap then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'd assume good start to the preseason given St J are further ahead with their preseason. Keen to hear a match report and feedback on Tansey, Stewart, and the german boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordDon Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 0-3 Anderson. Super Kev McNaughton on as trialist for Dons. I just had a massive flashback to 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Always loved super kev, but I wouldn't want him back as a player. Coach, yes absolutely, but player, no chance. He's done. How were the newbies and trialist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Thought Stewart look good if a little heavy but that may be our figure hugging strip rather than him being over weight. Christie was excellent. Not impressed by Tansey but in his defence he was being played on the left which is not his natural position. German lad looked okay on the ball but hard to tell how good he was as Saints never really put us under pressure. As for Kev I know he is only getting training facilities but if a deal could be done at the right price then would not be against him being signed as defensive cover.

Nips_and_Tatties Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Im sure I saw him play left back against us at Livingston at home years ago with Ebbe as manager. Remember a huge Marvin Andrews playing for them. Dunno when that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely overweight buaccoring to a Dee mate he's quite heavy anyway. To me he looked very unfit though and quite disinterested when not on the ball. Again this is apparent lying his way!!!

Jute Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Meant to say good sized support there. Seen a Saints fan elsewhere claim just over a 1,000 away fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Meant to say good sized support there. Seen a Saints fans say elsewhere claim just oveva 1,000 away fans there. I believe there were more dandies than home fans, very impressive given we're gonna play them in a few weeks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A llad insane Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Never read too much into these games, but Logan,McLean & Christie all looked good. Tansey did enough for me to think he will be a big player for us, not afraid to have a pop at goal (unlike some), Stewart should be the real deal, but was looking a tad overweight & needs some seriously hard training sessions which i'm sure he will get, big German fella didnt have a lot to do t.b.h, but he's a big unit. Great dons support for a friendly & outnumbered the home support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintin Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 3-1 to Brora not sure Aberdeen XI more an U20 / development team which is exactly why this format of U20 v U20 is not helping the "development" of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Apparently we beat Doncaster 2-0 in the game behind closed doors today. Rooney and Maynard with the goals, Maynards apparently was pretty special Also, Storey played out on the wing, is this where he's been playing pre-season? Impressed according to the guy who was there and had a decent cross on him. Have we had a winger in our squad without even realising it?
