Not sure what language most of them are speaking but from what I can tell they think he's very raw, even for the SPL and some even saying they don't know if he will make it as a pro...

Hopefully none of that is true but probably supports the idea that he wasn't ready to play PL football yet.

Had a bad injury at end of last season and didn't return until (I think) early Jan..

Played a couple of u21 matches since his return, but he was clearly not back to the standards he was setting for last couple of seasons.

Tough decision at end January - stay in Spurs u21's which he had grown out of towards end of season or go on loan hoping his match fitness improves.
 
Hope the goal gives him confidence that's he's finally over the hamstring injury which he got at end of last season making him not fit until well after Christmas, and arguably borderline match fit by the start of his Aberdeen loan.

Had a shaky start to the loan at Aberdeen but seems to have started to get a run of better performances - hope these last to end of the season, but he's only played a little over 400 minutes so far in Scottish Premiership so even regularly playing for the rest of the season, whilst good news, won't rack up a ton of minutes played.

Think its likely he'll be on loan somewhere next season whether its in Championship or an overseas League as even with a good pre-season I can't see him being regarded as ready for Spurs first team - which is a shame as pre injury he was looking very good. Becomes 20 next month, so another year on loan is not crucial.

Alfie Dorrington getting a LOT of very complimentary remarks from Aberdeen fans after yesterday's performance - he's clearly got much closer to the form he was in pre-injury, shame its this late in the season but he'll certainly end the season on a high if he keeps up this form.,
 
End of season review of Alfie Dorrington's loan at Aberdeen - worth remembering that Alfie wasn't completely over his injury at end of last season, so his loan was really more like 3 months starting towards end of January Transfer Window.

Scottish Premiership - 9 appearances (5 starts) 603 minutes
SPL, top 6 split league- 3 appearances (3 starts) 251 minutes
Scottish FA Cup - 4 appearances ( 3 starts) 279 minutes
Total for Aberdeen - 16 appearances (11 starts) 1,133 minutes

Alfie also came off bench in PL for 11 minutes.

Alfie Dorrington with SFA Cup which he helped Aberdeen win beating Celtic 4-3 on penalties, Aberdeen's first SFA Cup win since 1990 so a major event for them.

Alfie started the final and played 80 minutes - excellent experience to play in a high pressure match for a major trophy, and to help win it.

Over 1,000 minutes played for Aberdeen in less than half a season means other managers will look at him now and say he's learned a lot in his first loan, done well and is 'qualified' for a role next season either at Aberdeen or in a bigger league. Great result after an injury affected start to his season

Thanks for the info. Seems like a great loan! Excited for and about the lad.

What level is SPFL considered to be these days? League One equivalent? A bit higher standard?
