Coventry Saint Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Are you even a real St Mirren fan if you've not considered Erwin going to Killie and assumed he's going to become a baller? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadroj Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Honestly, please don’t get too excited about Brophy. He really isn’t all that. He can be a handful at times but some of the reactions to his signing have been massively over the top imo. Had a purple patch for 6 months when he was paired with Greg Stewart under Clarke but apart from that he has been pretty meh imo. He is also infuriating at times. Get used to his ridiculous decision making, i.e shooting from 30 yards at an angle rather than passing to a team mate in great positions. I think he is a decent enough player at this level but that’s it. Edited January 6, 2021 by Nadroj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains my only nagging doubt is that, given it's fair to say we're operating on about the same level this season, why he hasn't been an automatic starter and why he's not scored many when he has played. He also has hamstrings made of chocolate. Not saying injury is the sole reason he doesn’t play for us but a combination of being very poor for months and injury would explain it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it bitter to say that we aren’t that bothered about him leaving? He’s a decent enough player but should be replaceable imo. I could understand if everyone was making out he is absolutely shite but all the comments so far have been pretty fair imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiefan Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Brophy is a player who is crying out to be coached, makes poor choices in games and his head goes down very quickly but in saying that I think there is a player there. By all accounts fell out with one of the management team which could be a reason for lack of game time. Great memories of his goals against the hvns but can’t say I’m overly bothered about him leaving more bothered about my own teams lack of forward planning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reservations (possibly just my own) about the ability of our coaching staff to get the best out of forward players.

pozbaird Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Like any signing, until we actually see them in action in a St Mirren shirt, they might turn out to be great, meh, or Djemba Djemba. All we can realistically ask ourselves, prior to seeing them, is if we think they are better than what we already have. In this case, the answer surely is ‘yes’. Personally, I’m looking forward to watching him shoot from impossible angles thirty yards from goal instead of passing to a team-mate. For St Mirren fans, that will be a welcome change from watching strikers who never fcuking shoot from any angle or distance whatsoever.

I would imagine he’ll have a better chance at you guys, if he wants to learn by all accounts rather huffy. As I said I think there is a player there but gets to a stage the player has to do his bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) I think one of the soundest pieces of business St. Mirren could do would be to add a reputable attacking coach. We don't have one and someone who is well drilled in attacking movement, link up play and attacking set pieces would be as good as a new signing. We definitely have enough talent there in an attacking sense with Obika, McGrath, Durmus, McAllister and Brophy coming in but we still seem very disjointed going forward at times. A coach who could implement some ideas and dedicated attacking drills would be a good addition.

A coach who could implement some ideas and dedicated attacking drills would be a good addition. I was watching an interview with Allan Shearer and he discussed how Kenny Dalgleish made such a difference to his career at Blackburn by teaching him a lot of little subtle ways to get the better of defenders. It surprises me that you have a specific goal keeping coach at clubs, yet the hardest aspect of the game is scoring goals and that largely gets ignored. I think Jim and Lee are doing a great job but I’m not sure what either of them know about coaching a goal scorer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
