Gavin Molloy says his Shelbourne experience meant he was prepared for Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin's philosophy.Defender Molloy, who has started in both the Dons' League Cup group wins this term, benefitted from Damien Duff's high-intensity system at his previous club in Ireland.And the 22-year-old feels that has played a role in quickly integrating him into Thelin's side, who play at Pittodrie for the first time this season when they welcome Airdrieonians on Tuesday night."I've done the best I can and settled in with the lads," Molloy said. "In Ireland we played this way with Shelbourne, we liked to play intense and aggressive. I'm fully used to it. On experiencing an Aberdeen home support this week, he added: "I'm really excited to play in front of them. I can't wait to step out there and I expect it to be a really good atmosphere."
