I am happy that Savage football department seems to have thought long and hard about youth development this summer. McLaughlan and Naismith have been installed into roles with the express purpose of helping these young players who are on the fringes, kick on and get up to first team standards. So they will have had their say so I back their decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Delighted for the boy, felt he should have gone out on loan last season and come into first team fold this season. Hopefully Pollock gets more of a look in across the season. To develop our young lads we need to give them game time, its the only way that they will develop. Really rate Connor Smith and hope he gets game time this season rather that some journeyman brought in a panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it’s been a default action over the past few years and I don’t susbscribe to the view it will be the right step for every player .

davie1980 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 It's odd that the players coming through right now all seem to be coming through in the same role.

They won't all get 10 starts though, the best option will sometimes be a loan to try and play 25 plus games a season. I do think we need to figure out why so many of our kids return from loan spells and are rarely seen again. I assume they still have very close contact with the club etc but just think its obvious theres a problem or hopefully was a problem which we have now dealt with.

Taffin Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 What a cracking goal!! Well done to him. Disappointed we've loaned him out though.

ctc Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 we've got a centre back who isn't doing very well and a guy who's best position is left back playing central midfield.And it's quite painfull to watch.McGill in the few chances we got to see him last season looked really good and he's a central midfielder.We are threadbare in the middle of the park.And our only signing is a left back who is about the same age as McGill and so far doesn't look that good and we are not bad of at left back.Another stupid decision.

Lone Striker Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Presumably RN rates Pollock ahead of McGill then ?

Ernie Eskilsson Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I’d rather see McGill, Smith and Pollock in our squad this season. I like a mixture of youth and experience. Over the last few years we’ve consistently chosen older journeymen players and loaned out the youngsters. It hasn’t worked well for any of the kids and it hasn’t worked for the first team either.

True, but given the quality of player we have and the quality of the premiership if they're good enough I'm not sure they'll fare much worse than the experienced players...but I guess they may take the criticism worse. I'm not necessarily suggesting to play him every week but on at 60 minutes in games, starting against the weaker ones, playing in the league cup etc. I'm maybe getting ahead of myself, it's not often I buy into the hype of the youngsters (didn't really rare Irving for example) but I just thought this guy has it.

colinmorewasgash Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Neilson just copying what his mentor did. Too me hes just a younger version. Levein throws in cochrane v tims then smith in a derby get fans off back see youth. Were hardly seen again Neilson plays pollock just feels a bit same too me while loaning out players before season starts another levein trait. Surely keep some young players in case our so called targets turn us down because we have so many players in First team currently with history of injuries then by august we will be short of players and again last minute panic bringing in players who nobody wants to fill squad and hope they ll work. Do we have any young strikers at all at our club 16 17 18 19 20 (not henderson) I mean or we just don't have any that could get a chance under current regime. Id rather hve 4 or 5 kids on fringe off a first team squad than some donkey who made 90 appearances in 10 years or a english league journeyman with injury problems who was good 6 years ago. Grounddog day and anyone who thinks we will be third there is rooms available at royal ed my daughter is a nurse she will book you in. Doc savage aint a miracle worker and Robbie aint bielsa.
