OrlandoDon Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Didn’t see a thread of this title so figured it was time as he’ll be discussed quite a lot over the season. Thoughts on him so far? I’m not overly impressed, doesn’t appear overly sharp or fit, or mobile in my opinion, but I haven’t seen much of our games to date. At the same time he’s scored 3 so far. I’d assume it would be 1-2 mill to get him on a permanent deal, and that’s significantly more than we paid for miovski. And at the same time, for every miovski there’s a sokler or Ambrose. is he a penalty taker? That pads out numbers and we’ve yet to get one.

OxfordDon Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Kevin Nesbit gets mentioned a lot by both BBC and the Premier Sports commentators every game, but I've yet to see him touch the ball. Kevin Nisbet, on the other hand, is settling in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Has anyone been on iPlayer recently? They've got reruns of old Rab C Nisbet shows. Worth a watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlandoDon Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 I’ll argue that it was autocorrect. At the same time, I nearly called the thread Scott Nisbet. That would have been worse. how do we correct this ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be forced to look at it every time you come on the site so that it never happens again, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordDon Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Let's face it, everyone keeps calling him Nesbit, I'd leave it as is as it's only a matter of time before he's forced to change his name by deed poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordDon Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 It took me a wee while in the Dundee game to realise "Adewumi through on goal" wasn't our ginger marksman lured back up north to sink us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 He wouldn't deserve a place ahead of Adams or Dykes, and Conway at 22 edges it because of age. He might be preferred to Shankland I guess, based on form, but probably not. He's not been fit enough to complete 90 minutes, so unless there are injuries in the squad, I don't see it. He's basically in the running for fourth striker spot at the moment, which is really just a player that you think will be available for the qualifiers, with the hope that he might play himself into contention for the tournaments. You don't really have to worry about age so much, so he won't get the nod over Shankland (29) just for being a couple of years younger (Conway is in the up-and-coming bracket, and so is likely one you'd want to keep in the squad for a few years if possible so there is a transition path when Adams and Dykes (28) get past it. If he keeps banging them in, and Shankland doesn't, then the spot will become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee toon red Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 He didn't get in, despite Conway being injured. There had been chat that Dykes might be injured as well but he's one of three strikers included, which is fair enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Just now, wee toon red said: He didn't get in, despite Conway being injured. There had been chat that Dykes might be injured as well but he's one of three strikers included, which is fair enough. Aye, didn't realise that Conway was injured. Probably a little unlucky, but think it's an either/or with him and Shankland as they're quite similar. Unlike the Dons, Scotland can manage without four strikers for one spot!

Jute Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Think it’s maybe a bit early for Nisbet. Only just getting up to full speed for us. Think next month is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee toon red Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Due a call up tmrw apparently, strangely enough after not being very good on Sunday. Been a wee while since we last had three players in a Scotland squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a wee while since we last had three players in a Scotland squad. Good pub quiz question that. I think maybe Russell Anderson, Scott Severin and Lee Miller in 2006? All three played in a game v Japan that year. Dunno if there was a squad after that where all three got called up, or even a later game all three featured.

Nellie The Don Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 If you count Ryan Christie as an Aberdeen player during his time with us, then Christie, Shinnie and McLean were in a squad together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong. Is there a Scotland website similar to afcheritage? It would be good to look back at whole squads over the years. They'd need a big server to hold the data on all Vogts' caps obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Yeah i think you're right. McKenna moved to Nottingham Forest in the 2020 summer window, but Consis scotland debut was October 2020. So maybe it was Christie, McLean, Shinnie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is correct, McKenna signed for Forest in Sept 2020, as you say Considine made his Scotland debut in the October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Shinnie & McLean were in the squad when both Aberdeen players. They were both in the squad for the Peru/Mexico trip (as was Christie) but technically it was the end of the season and both Christie (Celtic) & McLean (Norwich) had only been on loan at Aberdeen. You could count them as Dons players though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
