wee_bairn Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) I would absolutely love it if Hippo went to Dunfermline. He thinks he's an absolute #baller and played for his move to St. Mirren thinking he'd get a shot at the SPL with hissy fits in training. A few months later after his move... down ye come Hippo son. I think both Livi and Falkirk fans will be in agreement that on his day he can be incredible; on the other 9 he is a man down. FWIW, Louis Longridge, Aidan Connolly and Higginbotham are all far more effective players than him. Seems a strange one with the amount of attacking midfielders you have at your disposal.

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I was never that impressed by Hippo when he played against us apart from one game in the Challenge Cup where he scored a good goal and was a handful for our makeshift defence. The English trialist sounds interesting though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 He scored quite a few goals against us cutting in and with his physicality. Great player imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Is Faiss’ contract up this time next year? He’s thanking Dundee and wishing them all the best for the future in his Instagram story.I think it needs to be said that nobody is expecting anything near he goalscoring record that he had in League One. I can see opposition fans pouncing on this thread like flies to shite when Faiss doesn’t score a hat trick within his first 4 games.I’m really excited for him to be here again, but realistically I don’t think he’ll do much better than Clark when it comes to his goalscoring record in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What's your likely line-up? -----Beadling--Thomson Connolly--Higgy--Longridge -------------FEB That's v decent with plenty on the bench when others are off the boil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Never had a bad word to say about Hippo. Delighted with his signing. Callum Smith is also potentially a good striker partner for El Bak. Looking forward to seeing what we can do this year. El Bak, Beadling and Ashcroft is a tasty spine to the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a great deal about him, except the games he's played against Dunfermline and always looked lively enough. Guessing Stubbs doesn't rate him at all for the level above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Was useful in this league when the currant buns, hearts and hibs were in it as he always played half decent against them. Had a feeling he wouldnt be at saints long after his god awful performance against us at the end of last season. An enigma whose decent days seem to becoming less and less. I'll be amazed if he sees out the 2 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Looking forward to him diving to win a penalty against Falkirk, followed by El Bak dinking it with his eyes closed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What's your likely line-up? -----Beadling--Thomson Connolly--Higgy--Longridge -------------FEB That's v decent with plenty on the bench when others are off the boil.Been playing more of a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-3 lately, with J Longridge and Williamson as wing backs.Hippolyte signing is in line with our signings so far. It seems clear that the biggest problem we had last year, was an inability to hangs things. He’s made sure that our different options in each position aren’t like-for-like replacements and actually offer something different. For example if Beadling and Thomson aren’t working in a particular game, Craigen can offer a more attacking threat. If El Bak and Longridge aren’t able to break a team down, Hippolyte might make a difference. We’re a lot more flexible than we were last season. I think that makes us a better team overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk offered Louis Longridge a contract and he chose Dunfermline. Kallum Higginbotham got his big move to Huddersfield and met us on the way back down. Similarly, Hippolyte got his opportunity at potentially playing at a higher level than Falkirk at St Mirren which hasn't quite worked out. James Craigan could be described as a cast off maybe aye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
