    He would thrive if there was even the slightest bit of movement from the rest of the team.

    Had to do it himself too often tonight

    He did. Frimpong was very quiet all game and his defensive weakness showed. Just couldn't quite capitalise on it.

    Pegged someone a belter in our box I’m sure aswell. Some player will hopefully tear Aberdeen apart now we have a few back and should be a bit more settled than the last 2/3 Premiership games.

    When Forrest is back, I'd like to see us try him as one of the attacking 8's for some game's..

    Hart

    Juranovic
    Carter-Vickers
    Jullien
    Boli - Scales

    Bitton (depending on how he gets on and with a view to being replaced by quality in January)
    McGregor
    Jota

    Forrest
    Kyogo
    Abada - Mikey

    Something like that eventually as I think he'd be a nightmare to defend against when breaking from deep and his ability on the ball, to go both way's..

    Think Kyogo’s movement infront/next to him was excellent. Going forward the only issue I had was our finishing. Jota worked back last night as well, protecting Montgomery as best as he could. That impressed me all round with him, he’s a player. His header was so unlucky.

    You would think he has never headed a ball in his life looking at him, but he’s been up and won a couple already. Might be worth a fiver to knock one in v the sheep lol.

    The standard of delivery this season and more than two people being in the box helps a lot on the aspect. Abada’s the same with that, both have good positioning and timing, feel like since Dembele was here we’ve always just tried to challenge massive defenders in the air rather than put the ball into a position that you can time the arrival properly that the defenders in a more difficult position.

    The worrying thing about loans, if he puts in these performances and it’s known he’s available for a cheap price in the grand scale of things, the balls in his corner to take his pick of teams.

    Yeah defo. It’s a important part of the game that we have lacked severely with recently. Only Elyonoussi has been capable of scoring headers for us out of all the forwards. When you think how many we concede aswell. Abada has a good whipped in delievery and Jota has a good ball by the looks of it too. Big GG looks like he can attack a ball in the air, give us a different option than the usual trying to walk it in.

    Normally I am not one to jump so quickly but really would be great if we got Jota signed on a permanent deal.

    He’s got a real wicked shot on him, which took me by surprise.

    I reckon he’ll bang in a worldy and they’ll just become constant from there on in.
