Godfrey as capt was a surprise tonight. I assumed it would be Shankland or Neil. But I'll tell you what, the lads a talker on the pitch. Great to see.
In fact, that was the thing that was clear tonight. The amount of talking, advising, cajoling from the likes of Godfrey, Shankland. MCcrorie, Devlin, night and day from previous teams recently.
Im not saying that's all that's required but it's a vital ingredient in getting us back to the top. Multiple leaders.
Im going to say it now. I might have a new favourite player. Step forward Cammy Devlin.
Love his attitude.

Athole been saying to all his doubters that I really think he'll surprise a few.

Wasn't surprised by him tbh, he did exactly what I thought he would. A bit of bite in there, but a poor passer of the ball. I might have been wrong, and he could be a decent squad player.

I know it's only a friendly but thought Cammy Devlin when he came on at half time showed exactly the appetite and what he's all about and totally deserved to be named MOTM tonight. ππ¬π§ He's the type of tenacious midfielder that you love if he plays for your club and a player the rest of the club's supporters hate when he's playing against your club. π€ He puts the work and the challenges in and breaks the play well and like I've already stated McInnes rates Devlin highly and he'll start a lot more games in our midfield than a lot of our supporters think. π€ He never gives the opposition a seconds peace and is constantly at their heels winning possession back, he's like a wasp. π€ He's going to be a fans favourite imo. ππ¬π§

On the positive side of things, I really like the personalities that have come in - lots of communicators (Godfrey, Neil, Devlin, Shankland).
And I think I'm going to enjoy Cammy Devlin's contribution this season.
On the downside, can't help but think with McInnes we'll move forward domestically, but his brand of football will see us chasing shadows in European games. Think the euro games will be a hard watch. Those St Etienne kids didn't give us the runaround for the last 15 minutes.

It was really refreshing to see the talking going on all over the pitch.

I suspected McInnes would bounce the armband around during pre-season. He is still figuring out this team. Who are the leaders, who do the others listen to, who should get the band permanently. Once he learns more about this squad, I'm sure the new captain will be announced.

Bbj was meaning over the course of a season, mate, not one match. Let him get used to the size of the club, the demands etc. I think he'll do just fine.

I know BB4, I'm just saying, though, that people raving about him after a half in a friendly isn't great, as it shows what we have lacked for years. Now just add the quality to his bite and we will be okay.

That was a tough watch, I honestly can't say we are a better looking side than last year.
It's clear we have brought in some good solid pros but now we need to go and spend some actual cash and get some real quality in!
Wingers are needed as we cannot be playing Dio and Tochi on the wings and leaving actual wingers on the bench.
Deffo some defensive reinforcements in.
Early days but still a win I guess and we did say win by any means.

"Win by any means" when it comes to a competitive match. Not a training exercise.
I agree, we don't look any better than last season. That is a team badly lacking in quality. We will struggle to score goals and break teams down. There's no creativity from wide areas anymore.
Tavernier was an absolute machine when it came to assists. Those quality balls in are no longer. So wide players are needed more than ever now.

Positives I took from that game
Pandur
Devlin π (Give yourself a pat wee man)
Aasgaard (Hope we can fit him in)
Press for first ten minutes π
Cons
Usual signing from the usual culprits that call themselves fans.
Lack of creativity
Fernandez (I don't get it, Thompson has a very different opinion than me)
Slooooooow
Interested to hear others views.

Aasgaard, what did he do apart from walk around?
1
22 Jul 2026 22:41:46
A few times we were caught out with the cross to the back post, McCrorie.

A few times we were caught out with the cross to the back post, McCrorie getting dragged to the middle, leaving them a free man at the back post. On another day those would have been punished.

Shows how far this club has fallen when the highlight of the game is Devlin coming on, kicking people and trying to start aggro in a friendly.
So many issues. Still no threat on the right because McCrories not an attacking right back, and for some reason McInnes played Diomande in front of him.
Fernandez and Chermiti played like they were still on holiday, and the defence in general was woeful. It is only the first game, though, so hopefully there are still changes to be made and things will get better, but that was worrying.

Is that your view and analysis of the game the 12th, that Aasgaard just walked around?
I witnessed something else. I liked what I saw. Sure, he can improve areas of his game, but a lot of positives from him.

Fernandez gives me the fear. It's like he is only half switched on. I think, for 5 or 6m, we could find better and make a lot of profit on him. Godfrey reminds me a bit of Goldson when he first arrived.

22 Jul 2026 23:56:33
Bluey, if he's only half switched on, how we going to make a big profit on him? Please remember that was the boy's first season in a top flight league. Yes, he's got plenty to learn, but he also has all the attributes to be a right good player. I honestly don't think the team that started will be anywhere near what starts in our first competitive match.

Though devlin and Aasgaard brought a very much needed tempo to the side. Pandur looks a very good buy. We have a lot of work still to do.

That was a hard watch at times. Well done to Cammy Devlin. He changed the tempo in that second half. Great debut. We badly need a few wide players. And 442 is not for me but we go again. Heading north on Friday for the Iron Rangers Derby! Buzzing!

22 Jul 2026 22:44:53
We never played 442.

I looked like a 4-4-2 but without traditional wingers.
It badly lacks that extra man in midfield for me. Doesn't matter if you have an extra man upfront if you're losing the midfield and are constantly on the backfoot.
