Where does this quote suggest they were not impressed by him. Yet another needless negative post 🙄

That quote doesn’t suggest they were not impressed…other comments did, I didn’t see the need to include them. Yet another needless attack.😏

That’s his one goal in 616 first team minutes in League Two down south.

He's played 616 minutes in League Two up here, with Stenhousemuir. 

That goal is from a pre-season friendly in July last year, nominally for the Blackburn Rovers first team against Leeds, although both put out young sides (as McBride wearing number 9 would suggest). He scored at least a couple of other goals in that pre-season, but only sat on the bench for the first team twice once the real stuff began. 

He had a very good first season in that Premier League 2, with 12 goals and 6 assists in 19 games, but as we've already said, the quality in that league is as terrible as its name is. His time at Queen's Park is a much more relevant comparison. 

We can only hope that, much like the aforementioned Barrie McKay, he hasn't tried a leg in his loan spells but gives his head a wobble now that he's out in the "real world". Time will tell, and as long as he's being paid less than Zanatta, it's probably an upgrade on the latter half of last season, however he performs.

The same happens up here with the "bigger" clubs to some extent. Young players snapped up, sit in the B side or as some call them for no reason at all, the "colts" teams and then are released. 

Yep. The English league U23s just gets a bit of added gloss because they are playing kids football at bigger clubs. 

They are talent factories for the bigger clubs to screw the smaller ones of their talent and waste it.

Thanks, that’s different than what I read in the stats I could find…and much worse.

He scored for the first team by the looks of it 

Are you trying to tell me Danny Lennon's goal against Bayern Munchen doesn't count
