Derek Mcinnes said on sportscene after the aberdeen game that he tried to sign Hayes in the summer, so he would have known on Saturday what a threat he can be. Apart from Saturday, I think he has been tremendous.
With foran, I think it's that Butcher is finding it difficult to drop Nick Ross and to not play his captain. It will be interesting to see what he does when everyone is fit again.
Even though 2 of his goals have been penalties, it took him a while to get off the mark last season and still scored loads. I think he's just taking time to get used to playing against tougher defences. I have no doubts that he'll be one of our most important players again, this season.
