Tartan Army Par Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Tidy enough on the ball but poor defensively and doesn't offer much going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 He's only had a dozen games for us. Is young and inexperienced but is neat and tidy on the ball. If he doesn't improve, he can be moved on. This deal won't be breaking the bank and if we do end up going down, I'd expect him to be starting most games? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Think the best thing for him would be to go to East Fife on loan under Crawford but that wont happen because we haven't got the cover in central midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Looks like we are shaping the squad for league one next season with him and McCann getting new deals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 We need to continue to develop youth so in that respect its a positive move by the club. If we are looking to develop an Academy with the training facility we will be more attractive to players if there are opportunities to get in the squad with chances to play. There is talent in Allan but this isn't the best platform atm. However time will tell if he comes good, hopefully he will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they haven’t progressed at all? They wouldn’t even get a game for Kelty the now, not what we need. I’m only saying my opinion and I just don’t think they are good enough for this level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm pretty certain that if the team had been up the other end and these young lads had been playing the odd game here and there, learning their trade, that not as much would have been made of this? Is it not good business sense to have one eye on next year, where we may well be in league one and only able to offer £500 a week? Who are we going to get for that kind of money? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the fact remains they aren’t good enough? Regardless of what league we are in, do we just sign anyone now on the basis that we might not get anything better?

Raymie Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 KP - they are still young. Are players not deemed to be at their peak at 28? They may well not develop any more and I would imagine, if that happened they would not get another deal, but whilst they still have the potential to improve, why would you not take that low risk chance? For balance, I don't think Todd will be good enough, based on what I've seen? He doesn't have the same skill set or nous as the other two. Again, the club may be willing to give him more time to show what he can do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But complaining about me saying about Allan and McCann . Tbh, I don’t think 3 of them are good enough for us, and highlights how poor the summer window was that we are now having to rely on them. Look at Morton’s first goal Saturday, instead of trying to block the shot or make any effort, Allan and another player just watch it instead. Basic stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Trying not to be too downbeat about it but agree with Kelty. Allan and Todd I just can’t see ever being considered good enough to play for us, unless we are relegated and even then I’d be hoping they were backups. McCann is a funny one, I wouldn’t have him up top on his own but I would like to hang onto him as he has potential, whether we can unlock it we’ll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic stuff I just don't see the same potential in him as the other two. Just my football instincts. "Look at Morton’s first goal Saturday, instead of trying to block the shot or make any effort, Allan and another player just watch it instead. Basic stuff" Basic stuff or naivety? Who was the other player, BTW? Edited January 13, 2022 by Raymie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
