Plenty in Reserve for Ebbe
The Dons made the short journey down the east coast
to play the 'Gable Endies' of Montrose in their second
outing of the new season. Both sides used several of
their promising youngsters as early season injuries
were taking its toll. Ebbe Skovdahl gave starting
places to Clark, McGuire, Esson, McNaughton and
Kevin Rutkiewicz was offered a defensive role
alongside Thomas Solberg.
It was young winger Chris
Clark who staked his claim for a regular slot when he
opened the scoring with the first attack of the second
half. Clark's sweet volley after good set up play from
Robbie Winters was the
highlight of what was a low
key affair. Aberdeen was
always in control of
proceedings, retaining good
possession, and their slick
movement off the ball had
the home side stretched.
Eoin Jess again looked
impressive, and he was on
hand to take
advantage of
a mix up
between
Montrose
keeper
McGlynn and
Black to score
the Dons
second 10
minutes into the second period.
Robbie Winters again
looked the part, and his pace was causing problems
for the Montrose defenders. Darren Young came close
for the Dons in the last minutes when a neat build up
let the youngster through, but his effort went just
wide.
