Aberdeen MOTM 11/9/21

[Yabba's Turd]

Apologies. Birthday weekend

[Spiderpig]

Lots of contenders for a change, but only 1 standout has to be KVV

[texanwellfan]

Been a long time since we had such a choice. Gave it to Watt for his performance and additional entertainment value of winding up Brown. 

['WellMagic!]

Ojala for me. 

[Yorkyred]

I gave it to Ojala. 

[Ya Bezzer!]

Goalkeeper, centre halves and forwards all could have a claim.

Have to go for Kevin van Veen though, a goal an assist and some 'watching through your fingers' type challenges on a yellow!

[weeyin]

Plenty to choose from, but I'm going for Slattery. He's been putting in some shifts the past few games without a lot of recognition, so giving him a shout out in this one.

[Happy Dosser]

There are a good few candidates, as other sages have said above, but a goal and an assist are facts that winna ding, so it's KVV for me.

Our two central defenders looked composed and effective, Slattery battled in midfield and Kelly beat out the shots when he had to.  Tony Watt was perpetual motion and clearly loves playing his football at FP. I just wish he would stop the dying swan act at times: we're not The Ugly Sisters or The Mutton Molesters and it may make it easy for refs like Willie Gollum (my precioussssssssssss)  to ignore his appeals when they are quite justified.

[Happy Dosser]

Forgot to say,  the BBC Shortbread page has Sean Goss as MOTM.

As Orwell almost said, "Is it true, or did you hear it on the BBC?"

[SteelmaninOZ]

It’s great to have so many choices they all deserve MOTM Anyway I gave it to Tony Watt 

[grumpy]

Quite a few options yesterday, I went for Johansen, a composed performance throughout. KVV a close second.

Forgot what day it was

[steelboy]

Over the full game Van Veen deserves it but big Bevis was immense in the last 15 minutes, he was tackling anything that moved then his charge up the park was superb. 

[grizzlyg]

Fact that from starting xi so far only mcginley and woolery haven't got a vote tells you how good a team performance it was

[Kmcalpin]

Some very good contenders but Ojala for me.

I went for McGinley

when I heard he was playing left back it gave me genuine fear of a drubbing after seeing him pre season and first couple of games

tbf he never put a foot wrong and I ate my words happily

Happy Birthday Yabba!

Really difficult to choose this week.

The entire back 4 and Kelly were superb. Our 2 vikings look absolutely rock solid. Loving the shield wall chat, thats surely got to stick!

Special mention for the much derided McGinley who had a great game despite clearly being singled out by Aberdeen as the weak link and being doubled up upon in the first half. He may not offer as much going forward as Carroll, but defensively he is far more solid.

Slattery had another very good game and is carrying the midfield right now. Hopefully we can get Goss match fit soon and help him out in there.

Up front it was between Van Veen and Watt. KVV had a very good game and hard to argue with his goal and assist, however, I went for Watt. His alround performance was virtually flawless. He looks back to last seasons fitness levels now after a sluggish start to the season and just gives everything for the team. His first touch, guile and game management are first class. Im embarrassed I questioned his attitude as a professional when he arrived. Bravo sir!

[weeyin]

I was a fan of McGinley last season, but I don't think it was unfair to say his early season form was surprisingly poor.

Was delighted to see him back on his game this weekend.
