Dick Van Dyke Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I really hope we’re looking at another striker and hopefully getting rid of Callum Hendry. If we end the window with Kane May and Hendry as our only strikers then I think we’re going to have the exact same problems as last season. Surely Callum can see that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I think Hendry is done but it'll be getting someone to take him on. I guess you'd wonder if Tommy Wright might. Fitzpatrick would be fine as a Gilmour type signing if the budget is there but if the manager feels he needs another attacking option, I'd like it to be someone proven/with a bit of experience. Surely not too much to ask. At this stage of the window though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I’d rather sign Fitzpatrick and see if he’s up to it than be linked with Kyle McAllistar again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the success we've had bringing in wayward youngsters who were on the verge of getting released by their clubs. It's what we do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 If we are cashing in on Rooney, we’re going to need someone to replace him. Early days for James Jason Brown, he’s not had a lot of first team football and will hopefully improve, but I’ve rarely seen him pass the ball to a teammate. He might be reliable defensively, but I don’t see him bringing a lot to us going forward. He’s nowhere near ready to be our regular starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need these fucking work permit issues sorted for Vertainain now. What’s the issue? Are we going to have this boy signed anytime soon? Was hoping to see him at Arbroath! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've actually forgotten about this from last night until now, there was a moment at 3-1, we got a break of the ball in the midfield and some tried to slip Hendry in behind. He just stood there, didn't offer short, didn't try to get in behind, just stood and sort of laughed at whoever tried to play the ball when they went nuts at him (Want to say Muzz but can't be sure) before just standing still on the spot as they brought it out of defence and the Gala player was able to take all the time he needed to knock it into an attacking area again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we still have one last chance at group stage football, but bloody hell. When we got promoted in 2009 I would never have been able to imagine what’s occurred since. 2012 I thought would be a one off return to Europe, aye we lost but f**k me we pushed them. I’ve full confidence in this side, and when we do inevitably shrink away again well have these memories forever. Might be an age thing but was expecting to read “when we got promotion in” ……1990 At that stage we were still a part time team and only a few years before were the third worst team in Scotland. The day we played Airdrie that season felt like the birth of the modern team that we see today … What a journey! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) East Stand linesman last night. Rubbish. Missed at least 3 May offsides as he was well behind the play.

He was actually summed up nicely in this moment and just after he came on, produced a really nice touch and turn to get past the Gala player, but then just had absolutely nothing to make it count 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in particular he missed was miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 FWIW, Fitzpatrick against the Championship last season. Seems, based on his profile/position/foot, that his strength was cutting in off the left and shooting, then on the odd occasion trying to play a decisive pass. Probably struggled to contribute much when played on the right. Young players maybe deserve more leeway in these things than others though, been pondering how to "age adjust" these things to account for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See 4:45 in this video for what he is capable of. The real issue is application. If Davidson can drag that out of him, then it might be a great move. I'm just not convinced it exists, though. Maybe Norwich punting him is the kick up the arse that he needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a player who would be happy to start as basically a bit part player with a view to improving himself into a first team player. It's minimal risk for Saints, give a young player with potential a chance and if he doesn't take it? Off you pop son. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some realise their situation, change their mindset and start fulfilling their potential, others just continue to waste it and never play at as high a level as they should. A funny thing that I've no opinion on this one, for a change. Happy to see what Davidson decides on it as it'll potentially be stuff that happens when he's not got a ball at his feet that decides what we do with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint pogo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Does two Hibs boys in The Cherrybank claiming Kerr’s their best mate and a die hard Hibs supporter, and Jack Ross saying that they need a centre back add up? Would we actually sell him to a key rival? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
