Pre-Season 2015

Recommended Posts

Yeah, Kenny Cameron's quote (in the signing of Wedderburn article) suggests they're back next week.

I'm actually looking at tomorrow as the start of the new season! The SPFL fixtures are published followed by the European draw on Monday. Then on Wednesday, Aberdeen and St Johnstone start their European preparation with actual friendly games! And we're just two-weeks later with our Euro adventure....

Not sure if a proposed 'closed doors' game v the Dons is still planned? I definitely think we should try to have a couple of friendlies before Europe - which is just 4 weeks tonight!!!

Crikey, last season has just ended and now we've got our first game of the new season in just a few days time!

I'd imagine, or at least I'd hope, that we'll see a few trialists in these early games so that we have at least one striker bedded in and a full-ish squad signed in time for Europe.

Just home from sunny Banff, where there was absolutely no reception to do updates. Here's some ramblings on the game...

Starting lineup had Esson in goals, with Horner RB, Warren/Devine CB and unkown trialist LB. Draper and another trialist CM, Roberts RM, Doran LM, Tansey ACM, JJ Hooper CF.

We started really well, keeping possession at well over 90% ICT for the first 10 mins or so. We then got sloppy with several passes, leading to a Vale corner which they scored from - I think off the head of Horner for an OG. The game was then delayed by around 30 mins after the Vale RB broke his leg really badly leading to an ambulance taking him away. We scored soon after restarting with Doran getting the ball in the arc outside the penalty area and curling the ball into the corner of the net. We went 2-1 up with a cross from the right which was nodded in at the back post from Roberts. Polworth and McKay came on at HT for CM trialist and Esson. A 12 year old child came on for Roberts, with Jason Brown and another young defender replacing Devine and Tansey.

In terms of how the new players played...

LB trialist - Rotten, absolutely honking. Terrible in possession, naive when defending and was even penalised for a foul throw (after several which also should've been penalised). He went off in the last 10 minutes without being replaced by a sub, I severely hope it was because he was getting punted into a taxi! 

CM trialist - skilful and athletic, who played quite well in his 45min cameo. Not a position I would prioritise signings for but worth another look.

Roberts - impressed by his movement and keenness to get involved. Very happy if he indeed signs. 

JJ Hooper - Absolutely anonymous. Bullied by an overweight, slow CB pairing. Poor first touch, no pace or strength and looked lost for most of the game.

Wasn't Nat Wedderburn at left-back was it?  I see we've got Mark Lamond from Petershill FC on trial.  Presumably he was the central midfielder?

Oh Christ I hope that wasn't Wedderburn at LB!! He really reminded me of Djebi Zadi with his unpredictability and mistakes.

I see someone on Twitter is saying that Brian Rice was in the dugout, considering he isn't exactly the type of guy most people would recognise in the street (I wouldn't anyway!), I'll take that with a pinch of salt for now.
