I'm almost sure we were talking about an actual performance when he done ok. Think he did ok in a game in the League Cup early in the season but i think he played at Brora and was unconvincing.

Whether this signing is right or wrong will be proven next season as it can't be justified on his last few games. I do seem to remember that he was well received early on by JKB. Based on what though as I doubt many had watched Livi's 3rd choice keeper before he joined us on loan? What I've seen since he's played gives me the fear and that wasn't against Premiership opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Craig get injured, we either sign his replacement on loan or Harry Stone gets the opportunity. There is no way Ross Stewart plays an extended number of games. Hopefully it doesn’t happen but if it does then HS should get his opportunity - that’s if we loan him out and with a recall option. And/or Neilson feels the same way It’s all ifs and buts 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I’m that bothered but he has looked poor when he’s played and is only one injury away from being first choice. I’d like to think we would be able to get a back up keeper who’s not woeful but clearly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone who thinks he's as bad as Kurskis was never saw Kurskis play. I watched Kurkis at Ibrox and then seen him get sent off against ICT at home shortly after. Stewart's performance against Brora was just as bad. Two awful goalkeepers, just as bad as each other.

I can't honestly say i recall a good reception, not saying it didn't happen, just that i don't recall it. But yes, we're going to need Gordon to stay fit. We're also going to need a solid out and out defender to come in aswell to play alongside a (hopefully) fully-fit John Souttar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idle Talk Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Let's just say I hope that any loan deal we arrange for Harry Stone next season includes an immediate bring back clause.

RENE Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 So some people on here want Stone to be number two and sit on his backside for most of next season. How is a young goalkeeper to develop if he gets no game time. I'm sure Jamie Mac wouldn't be interested in coming back to sit on the bench.

Happy to be corrected if wrong. Stewart has started 4 games against Raith (LC), East Fife, Brora and Queen of the South and conceded 8 goals from 15 shots on target. I cannot remember any wow moments; in fact I'm pretty sure that when I was his age I could have saved most, if not all, of the shots that he didn't let in. It just needs a long term injury to Craig Gordon, which of course has happened before, for him to become our first choice keeper rather than being Livingston's third choice.

will-i-am-a-jambo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I haven't read the whole thread but think this is an ok signing.
