Right back v sheep

When he was being outpaced he resisted the temptation to stick his foot in which showed a lot of maturity. Not sure if he actually gave away a foul.

Noticed that especially against that diving wee bassa Duk who was waiting on the tackle that never came

TBF Duk did try and keep his feet today felt sorry for him not getting a start for a poor Dons side one run he beat half our team

Fair play but Jair was the better prospect at Benfica

That’s a very good and well noted point AH 👍 Hayes and Duk tried to entice him into challenging in the box and Rory always stayed square, stayed a yard off, and never dived in - totally agree.

Not his first start? He started against St Mirren

Clarified this earlier on the thread

He’s very tactically aware and is definitely a full back / wing back. Very assured first half but noticeable that he tired badly last 25 minutes and that’s inevitable with the huge step up in class that he’s used to playing. What a terrific attitude though, even when out on his feet he was bursting a gut into the latter stages to defend and close down. Big Will Fish and Marshall were superb at guiding through the difficult latter stages of the game too. 16 years old, I thought he did very well as did the whole back line - they put their bodies on the line time and time again last 30 minutes.

Also thought Newell and Levitt worked really well but we need a real physical player in the central area if and when they tire.


Big Fish was excellent today throughout, my MotM.

Your opening sentence of stating he is very tactically aware stopped me from reading the rest of your post as Marshall and fish had to constantly tell him after numerous attacks about where to be , he was found to be tucked in far too close to fish on numerous occasions. Btw this isn't a dig at the kid as I think he's got plenty potential , just think he isn't ready to be starting games at right back for us at the moment

So you don’t think a 16 year old debutant needs advice through games then ? His positioning and awareness of attacks was good today, his obvious physical attributes eventually caused him problems. But he did very very well for a 16 year old right back up against very good players. His determination was class 👍

The boy did well he told us post game he was struggling 2nd half. But he should be congratulated for his efforts.

He did very well. Rudi also made a good impression in his time on the park IMO

I thought his effort and willingness was outstanding , just unfortunately, like I said I think he doesn't look tactically aware enough to be a right back at the moment at this level , though the same at st mirren game. He will hopefully learn but I see a career further forward for him

I think the lad would benefit from working with a sprint trainer for a while. From what I've seen so far, he's not blessed with natural pace but that can be worked on as his body gets bigger and stronger.

Thought positionally he looked fine got overloaded second half though but generally thought he did good for a 16 year old.

Seemed to get forward more against St Mirren

Did he not almost score ?

Would have brought the house down

Something I liked was when he got fouled in the second half, the whole team was in for him. Newell was actually, quite noticeably, at him (in a good way) throughout the game.

I said the same pre match on Sunday that he looks good on the ball and going forward linking with other players. He does still lack a bit defensively which is why there were a lot of crosses being allowed into the box from his area in the first and second halves (similar to the St Mirren game). I think he has done brillantly since he came in and has plenty of time to improve those areas, he is a cracking prospect!
