Dokko Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He didn't want to go out on loan, and certainly not to Scotland but its an opportunity to play and he hasn't taken it. Think Glass' comments are harsh and show he's not really a manager of people and may be why this isn't working. Glass is naïve to think comments like that help the situation, Matty certainly won't be putting in any effort for that man, neither would I being publicly hung out to dry so god knows what he's been like behind closed doors.

He’s used to being around the premier league and he’s joined some outfit in a two-Bob second rate league, not surprised he’s struggled to get motivated. Actually good set up at Aberdeen. Why do you try to belittle another club. How many European trophies have Newcastle won? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass comments are not bad. Stop trying to defend a player who is obviously overrated and useless...For that is what he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to defend a player who is obviously overrated and useless...For that is what he is. They are though. It's poor management of a young lad who needs support. I've said he's not taken his chance (so clearly not defending him) but he's not the only one to blame for this situation. Glass doesn't strike me as an experienced head, and it shows in this situation. He'll go nowhere hanging players out to dry like that. For now its a young loan lad, next time its one of his own and the players turn. My bet is Matty makes more of his career than Glass did as a player and as a manager.

MattStaff’s problem is the athlete side of it all. Whenever he got games here he got caught out by the pace of everything and underhit his passes, wanted too much time in his own half, couldn’t get around quick enough to stop the opposition midfield. Joelinton and Lewis at least have the bodies needed, whereas Matty seems to be reasonably decent technically but prone to jelly legs on top of being slow by default.

McCormick Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Hits the ball cleanly (from the limited times I’ve seen him) but lacks athleticism or a football brain. Really don’t see how he can be molded into a premier league cm tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Aberdeen is too good a level for Matty, he’ll be a non league player in few years time. Aberdeen are a big club btw and if should just a fit to try and make it there and doesn’t seem to be doing it. Was of a shirt for them!

Good on Glass calling him out btw too, I know people who know the family and he’s basically in a huff and didn’t want to be at Aberdeen full stop which is a good level for any pro and more than enough at his stage of his career especially. He should be relishing the challenge. But he’s probably on twice what everyone else is on at Aberdeen. Again, he’ll be at South Shields or similar in a few years time. Sums up our academy, absolutely shite! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 He was loaned to a level where he could boss the game and get his confidence back. He's failed miserably. He shouldn't be allowed any excuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Jinxy reside in the Newcastle area,he be same age as my Da 74 now. On a slightly related note Jack Hather who played on the wing for The Dons from 48 to 60, called "The Hare" apparently, was my neighbour while growing up. Nice bloke. True story.

Dr Jinx Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Yep, have no idea why people are making excuses for the Longstaff brothers, yeah Steve Bruce has probably been a big part of that but i've said this many times over, if a player is not getting the right training, do what Joelinton did, take responsibility for it. Do the extra on your own time/cost, it has the potential to extend or save a career when you look at our current lot. Matty has/had the potential to be a Paul Scholes type player, am not for a minute suggesting he'd be that good, what i mean is box to box, neat passer, bit of a shot on him, gets on the ball, dictates tempo etc.. it's not all about pace and strength, there's something not right mentally about the pair of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
