I walked past him outside the main stand before the game, surely he's not injured already . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 We've put a few young players out on loan, Ryan Fyffe to Nairn County and Robbie Thompson and Lewis Nicholson have gone to Clach, initially until January. A little surprised that Fyffe is going out - he started a few games in the league cup and we aren't stacked defensively. I guess we can recall him if we have injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyffe going out was a strange one, we only really have Hyde now as centre back cover, another untested youngster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Another 2 youngsters away to Brora on loan, Aly Riddle and Harry Hemmem. Will be great to have these lads playing regularly in the Highland League, gaining experience and helping other clubs. A far better option than colt teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Brora fan so will be interesting to hear how yourself & other Caley fans rate them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddle played very well at left-back for a full 90 mins at Forres pre-season but still looks very young physically. Hennan struggled to get into that game, played on either flank and looked tidy on the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a midfielder. Certainly seemed to be playing there when he came on on Saturday anyway. We could do with getting extra defensive cover, even if it is a loan, but it sounded like our business was done for the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Duffy seems to have fallen out of the scene completely. He looked decent in his first few games then fell out of the side and barely seen since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was utterly diabolical for us in his very short spell in the 2017/18 season. Only played a handful of games before his loan expired. He was one of a number of players that season we were delighted to see the back of. Maybe there could be an argument for saying that anyone who played for us then looked awful and it wouldn't have mattered who we had playing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was the drubbing at Dunfermline played that was one of his last games and he was absolutely rubbish. You'd be better playing Gregory Tade at centre-back and that's no exaggeration.

He played against Brechin a couple of weeks later but then spent the next couple of months on the bench and the dropped out of the squad completely before he was jettisoned back to Middlesbrough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was slower than a week in the jail. Maybe he's improved since he left, I sure as hell hope so for you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
