Mattie Pollock admits Jim Goodwin sold him on his loan move to Aberdeen.
Now the defender is looking forward to meeting him for the first time when the Dons travel to face Goodwin’s new side Dundee United tonight. The Irishman lined up Pollock’s loan from Watford but was sacked before it was signed. The centre-back said: “I didn’t get to work under Jim but every time I spoke to him he sounded like a nice man who said positive things about the club. He is the one who got me to come here but I didn’t get to work with him. I wish him well, everyone here does. He left on good terms with everyone so we are all just focused on the weekend now really.”
Aberdeen were seen as a soft touch at times under Goodwin but interim boss Barry Robson has instilled a bit more steel. The arrival of Pollock, Angus MacDonald and keeper Jay Gorter has made a big difference as the Dons climbed back into the top six with their 1-0 win over Livingston last weekend.
