Nesta Guinness-Walker

I think there's that and there's also the lack of relationships being built up with a fullback as well.

Maybe on the left-hand side, Jogan and Guinness Walker have had a bit more time and consistency, but given that our starting right-back in Chris Cadden only arrived basically two days before the season started, there's been no real hope of building up that relationship on the right-hand side, be it in training or be it in those League Cup games early on in the season.

Now...

You know, Shaden Morris wouldn't have made such an impact at the start of that 24-25 season without Nicky Devlin bombing up to give opposition defenders a different problem to think about on Shaden's inside.

I think the best thing, as I said, for Mitchell right now would be to go out and play some football again, hopefully improve ideally on the defensive side is my number one wish for Mitchell.

Because I think...

That's where Guinness Walker has got the edge on him right now.

And some of that's down to pace and physicality, that he's better at recovering positions and better at winning those physical battles than I've seen from Mitchell Frame.

It kind of isn't.

But Guinness Walker was playing left-foot forward.

What

I would say is, I was watching the commentary, and the boy Mayer, the left-back, he was getting mentioned all the fucking time.

Yeah, he's going to have to, I suppose.

But

also as well, I think, because Guinness Walker was so far forward, Yeah,

well, it allows us to do that.

It certainly seems that way.

It is placing a lot of reliance on Guinness Walker and Chris Caron to provide that with.

That's something we perhaps need to look at.

But even if we went to a system where we played at fucking 11 wingers, I think Tony Ugan's shown enough to show that he's needs to buck up his ideas for sure.

With the way things are panning out, you are not a million miles away from the fact that actually the likes of Tobers, Knuster, Malloy could be a first-choice back three going forward if it comes out that way.

Another one, just to highlight, I thought Nesta Guinness Walker had an excellent performance again last night.

I think one thing I would say is I think the shift to the back five, him playing in wing back area, I think is helping him.

To an extent, he certainly looks much more assured in there, and that's two good performances in a row, I think, against Kamaric and then here against Malou.

it being a game team we just played was

probably the best thing for us yeah I totally agree so I felt the Dons actually started the game quite well on the front foot when within the first couple of minutes could have taken the lead and ball out wide to guinness walker his delivery is brilliant straight onto the head and this bit he gets a good header on it and it looked like he was going straight in the top corner but up popped striac with a brilliant save so i think it's a great save

yeah good save and i think you're right we did start I think we all said it the first couple of minutes of that game.

I don't think

of deal with it.

Yeah.

30 minutes on the clock and another Guinness Walker cross is met by Nisbet.

This time it's on the volley.

And they did.

I also knew Guinness Walker was going to miss as well I thought that was a fucking bizarre choice for Aberdeen's first penalty taker

that was an odd one but yeah it just seems like I've often thought like going back years like why would the goalkeeper not always wait to see what a goalkeeper a striker is going to do and and that even more so now because of the prevalence of these starter arms because I was like well if you can dive perfectly then you just I think the David Raya one this weekend for Arsenal for example that's yeah you don't get that unless you've already gone and that's just a really good save he actually manages to get to right in the corner but I think generally speaking if a penalty is well struck and is in the corner you're not going to get it anyway whereas if you do wait then you open up all the shake penalties to be able to be saved and obviously the big thing with the strut to run up is you've limited your technique of being able to actually kick the ball well Because it's very difficult to do that.

You're impacting your own ability to strike the ball well because of your arm.

In the Premier Sports Cup quarterfinal at Rugby Park, two changes to the starting 11 as Mats Knuster and Connor Ronan came back into the side with Tony Ogan and Lewis Smith dropping to the bench.

That meant, Graeme, of course, we lined up in the infamous 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 with Nesta Guinness-Walker and Chris Cadna's wing-backs and Telo and Nisbet up front.

Let's be honest, are we even that surprised it's just taken us this early into the season for Robinson to decide it's a back three?

No,
