Tbf, he only played well for us against Dundee and the 5-1 game against Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was ok against Hearts if i recall too. There's not a hope in hell the laddie has any future at Manchester United though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don’t understand St Mirren’s league position at all.Was it not the Saints fans who told us in July that “there isn’t much between St Mirren and Kilmarnock”?Don’t understand why you guys are so far behind. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Willock away back to Man Utd. Too much to hope Edwards and Hodson go too?You are being harsh on both. They both give 100% at all times. Thought Hodson was excellent today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The epitome of all effort and no ability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy for him to go in January but he’s not in the same bracket as the likes of King, Kpekawa & Heaton, who haven’t even bothered their arses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy for him to go in January but he’s not in the same bracket as the likes of King, Kpekawa & Heaton, who haven’t even bothered their arses. The problem is, though, that his decent enough turn of pace (no whippet or anything but certainly not a slouch either) and workrate means he frequently finds himself in positions to be able to drive at players and really hurt opposing defences. And it's never happened. No goals scored, no assists in his time here. His decision making is at best questionable and at worst, completely void of any sort of logic. He does not have a good range of passing, he can't beat a man....I'd be extremely interested to see his stats regarding dribbles completed in a Saints shirt and completed passes in the opposition third. I'd wager both are exceptionally low. My issue with him is just that - he's got bags of effort but is incredibly frustrating to watch. Yeah, he's had a couple of decent games (and really, it's only been a couple) and his workrate has been the main contributing factor in that. I don't think there's ever been a game I've came away from and thought he made any real difference. I know he's had his role shifted about quite a bit but in the position he's mainly asked to play in, you really have to have some sort of stats to back up your selection week-in, week-out.

So why is he in the team most weeks ? Maybe you need to give Oran a wee call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say because we currently have no one fit or available with the energy or running that he does. That being said, I want a smart worker rather than a hard worker. Why on earth would I need to give the St Mirren manager a call? Because I don't rate someone who plays every week? That's my opinion but instead of being baseless opinion, I've backed it up with facts. No goals, no assists, and very few (if any) chances created. If I give him a call about Ryan Edwards, maybe you should give the club a call regarding Junior Mendes given your mad diatribe a few weeks back that a sports scientist role is nothing more than to tell players to run faster and eat less and that we're wasting £60k ( ) a year on him.

St. James is one train an hour. 13:06 from Central on boxing day arriving 13:27 in St James (as it's a 2pm kick off). I'd say definitely just get a train to Gilmour Street instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
