151 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 17 hours ago, TheBigO said: Ha ha, think back to Lockie's team. Lots of laddies with amazing ability but just no street smarts. Take that forward to Andy Irving and Euan Henderson. Great ability and in Euan's case, the basis of a great athlete too, but they seemed to be learning how to actually apply their skills within a game as they went. Irving had so obviously never had real tactical focus and never really been drilled on transitions etc. You can just tell. It's why lots of our youngsters don't get a game when out on loan. They'll be the best player in their squad at training but can't be trusted in a game. THAT is the main thing that needs sorted taking our lads from 15/16 to age 20, and to be fair, looks like our main focus at the club at present. Yeh I hear you mate. A lot of the things you say actually sound like me - fair enough I only play amatuer but I can do alot of things with a ball and look good at 5s etc won a few 5s tournaments and leagues but on an 11 a side pitch I have very limited experience and very often find myself struggling to get into a game and always seem to be in the wrong position. So yeah I do know what you mean. Because alot of our players look like they lack match awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a building block toward the start of the real stuff. I attended them back then but not anymore. Anything more than a token amount entry fee seems like a rip off nowadays. I think the last one I attended was v. Middlesbrough in '05 and only did so because it was free. 😊 I remember a couple friendly games against Fulham and Spurs not sure what the year was late 1990's I think , cant remember how much it was for the entry fee but it was a decent crowd for them both if my memory serves me well 👍 anyway back on topic let’s hope we get some good players signed soon👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly does look good from his wiki stats. Imagine how we'd feel about signing a 32 year old CB who last played for Scotland 6 months ago, but unless there's something wrong with him that we don't know about, I can't see us being able to afford the wages of a 91 capped Croatian who played in the last World Cup final!
