Barely even makes the bench and at his age, he might be thinking of focusing on his business now. The guy was suffering from long Covid , that’s the only reason he was not playing Edited September 6, 2021 by Finlay21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Obviously a promising young lad but not sure it's what we were needing !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see any youth player good enough to make the kind of impact we need being loaned out to the championship. Celtic haven’t loaned him out before and I would think it would be more likely to be to a Premier team if they did. Pretty sure he's rehabbing a bad injury from preseason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure where he fits into the puzzle. Has been mentioned that he can play through the middle as well as wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Glad there is another body and and happy it's a wide player but we desperately need that central midfielder who can just put his foot on the ball and pick a pass, hopefully we get one soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 A wide midfielder, despite not playing with any... fantastic stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Quite liked the last winger we had on loan from Hibs although hopefully this one has a better attitude. If we start to use the wide midfielders like Maxwell, O’Connor and Bradley as the ball carriers with the full backs overlapping then a centre midfield of Muirhead and McAllister would be fine if their only job was to win the ball back and move it on. It was obvious when Smith left last season that it left McCowan as the only creative player and he was being marked out of most games by the end of the season. I think Hopkin needs to move slightly away from the hard working line up and start attacking games as I’m still not convinced we’re that good defensively to sit in and soak up pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 I’d probably say that Maxwell can be considered a central midfielder now so we’ve still got 4 although id like to see one still come in.Id like to see us line up like this but I feel there is no chance of that.

I’m struggling to think of who your meaning, A guy called David Crawford is the only one I can think of. Probably missing someone really obvious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably missing someone really obvious. No it was Crawford I meant. Looked decent off the bench, started the penultimate game against Airdrie and won MOTM then disappeared and didn't play a minute in the 4 play offs game. We also had Scott Taggart on loan from Hibs that season but don't remember thinking he'd go on to have the better career like it's turned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 See there's an article in the DR with the groundskeeper and he alludes to a bit of money being put into the pitch this season. Let's see how well it holds up in winter, if it's just business as usual then they really need to start looking at alternatives for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Still trying to get my head around bringing in another wide player, instead of addressing the ball winner / passing roles that we've been missing. Given he is a natural RM the obvious like for like swap is Salkeld, but just can't see him being dropped, so likely to be deployed either out left or through the middle. Given our ramshackle midfield to shoehorn in another player out of their natural position is worrying, Hibs have given the lad a new three year deal so there is no way he is here to sit on the bench. Absolutely hope he does well for us of course, I'm just a little confused by the signing when we have other glaring priorities at present. How many wide men do we have now? I make it 10 - including defenders as we've played with a back 3 fairly often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 10 wingers and no right backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming he’s an upgrade on Smith at his current development but I wouldn’t like to think we had sent our own player out on loan to be replaced on the fringes of the first team by a Hibs player. But nothing makes sense any more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
