That's promising, he should hopefully get first team games and at that level he can build up his physicality and get used to players trying to shove him off the ball. 

Suggests he won’t get enough time at Stark’s Park to allow them to decide if they want to sign him to a regular contract, with his Apprenticeship ending In June. Has seen very little opportunity to play compared to Arnott and Coulson, and was likely to sit behind Keatings/Vaughan/Poplatnik, so a good move for both us and him. I’d expect to see Bow potentially loaned until January as well.

Mahady hasn’t seen nearly enough play, and should be loaned if we aren’t going to use him, but I’m unclear what restrictions are on the loans of MA’s.

I guess there aren’t many restrictions.

Ends in June 2022. Great insight though……

 

Not sure what this means…it’s July and his MA contract is up in June 2022…so…

Not sure how this was wrong.

What sort of player is he?

No one knows as he's barely, if at all,  kicked a ball for us. 

Unfortunately sums it up. He’s a big lad, and despite lacking stature last year we very seldom gave him any playing time. That being said, he’s spent the last year practicing with players who will have passed on valuable lessons and insights, so perhaps he’ll be useful to you.

What makes this anymore interesting than normal?
It’s almost definitely a 4-2-3-1.

Which is depressing news. We weren’t particularly productive with that formation on Saturday, and previous to that we had Vaughan and Keatings up top together, and showed some nice push forward. 1 forward was a ball and chain last year, I certainly hoped to see a bit more attacking nous this year. Now, having said that, we’ll probably shell them.

More attacking nous than when? Last season when we were banging 5 goals in against half the league?

We played well on Saturday. That would have almost certainly been a defeat in previous years as we don’t beat teams in this cup.

Last season we were very seldom in any position to deploy any of our younger players to get experience, especially after the first go around the league. We won by more than one goal once in March and April, and six times between late October and February. After Duku cooled off we ground out wins and draws. We played acceptably versus Cowdenbeath, but very nearly ended up with a draw for all the good work we did because we showed little threat.
