Handsome_Devil Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Does he really play that high up the pitch? Shows how little I actually know about him, I always assumed he was more midfield than a forward/winger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how little I actually know about him, I always assumed he was more midfield than a forward/winger! I asked a Thistle supporting pal of mine about him the other day when we were mentioned as a possible destination in the County thread and he said he can play right, left or a #10 off a front man. I've not really checked whether that's changed at County tbf. Here's he is playing for United against Dundee.

Handsome_Devil Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Interesting. Doesn't turn me completely against him by any means but makes his stats perhaps a little less shiny. Hard to argue you wouldn't take a chance on him being better than Amaluzor/Roberts/Efford though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil86 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Definitely in the worth a punt category, I was very impressed with him in the 2-1 game at fir park, lost count of how many good balls he put into the box. an upgrade on 3 or 4 of our current forward line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Cardiac arrests aplenty in the East Stand when we've got Sean Goss & Blair Spittal in the same team and we're 4-0 to Celtic after half an hour. Whit a carry on. No thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's my job...'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Given in the past few years when we've dipped into "unknown" markets in the forward areas we've ended up with Justin Amaluzor, Christy Manzinga, Joe Efford, Deimantus Petravicius and Christian Ilic, I think we could do a lot worse than signing a guy who's proved to be decent in the Scottish Premiership already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) It's the vaguest of vague links but whatevs... The actual mention is here, on a page with the bold Ally Gorrin as possible shouts for Portsmouth. His loan at St Johnstone was cut short by the Covid season. *waves at @RandomGuy.* Edited May 19, 2022 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He's perfect for this division as he's class and huge. I'll honestly be raging if he signs elsewhere as we had the perfect chance to get him 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Matt Butcher has all the attributes to be a very decent footballer imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 How have Jordan Roberts and Justin Amaluzor been for you guys? Think you are not resigning them? I ask as they are wingers and known to be pacey... Two things I could see Stephen Robinson lusting over. [emoji1787] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanos Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I’m all for signing Blair Spittal. Different type of player to a lot of what we have. 7 out of 10 signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Spittal is a known quantity at this level but we already have Sean Goss as our token shitebag who puts in the odd good delivery. Don't get me wrong, I think Spittal would be okay for us and I wouldn't be overly disappointed if he signed but I'm also not convinced he's much better than anyone we have at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask as they are wingers and known to be pacey... Two things I could see Stephen Robinson lusting over. I'd imagine Roberts will be away back down the road. Him being here for the 2nd half of last season seemed as much down to the fact he'd already played for 2 teams and couldn't sign for anyone else after he agreed his exit from Hearts. Did a turn for us now and again. Amaluzor is precisely the type of player Robinson would have signed in a summer window then binned out the team after a couple of months before releasing him when he was here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawless was a decent player tbf, just an arsenal arsehole and finished by the time he came back. If we signed him at the same age Spittall is now I think he'd have done fine.

It's worth bearing in mind it's TransferMarkt as the source so it's almost certainly unreliable but it suggests he's been predominately used off the right or left at County this season. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/blair-spittal/leistungsdaten/spieler/251587 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
