number-16 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 17 hours ago, Debut 4 said: How long do you wait? Can’t avoid the cliche’ unfortunately, but it’s a cutthroat business and you can’t have too much sentiment. Also, I think the environment for young players needs to be right too. It hasn’t been in the last few years with an inept coaching team. A bit of sentiment and supporting our players to recover and find new clubs can be a good thing when trying to attract young talent. The ones with their heads screwed on will know most don't make it at our level and injuries happen. It should give them a bit of assurance about signing for us. 4 hours ago, GinRummy said: I’ve sort of come round to thinking he’s not going to make it with us but I do think bottom half spl or championship could be where he ends up. Can’t see him having to go down as far as league 1 or 2. He may even end up making it at our level or at least at a mid-table SPL team if he gets the right chances and experience over the next few years. That experience is only going to come with a step down to a bottom-half SPL or lower league club though, which is where his next step needs to be unfortunately. 2 hours ago, upgotheheads said: Ross Callachan paid a heavy price for one blunder. I don't think he played again for us again, instead we played players like Damour in his position, who cost us relegation imo. That was down to Levein's terrible decision making on players. Callachan was probably our most reliable midfielder even if he wasn't a world beater and he's been a decent player wherever he has played since. There was a year between Callachan leaving to go to St Johnstone and us signing Damour. Callachan left after we renewed Naismith's loan. He was kept out initially by Naismith, Adao, Milinkovic and Cowie then Haring, Lee and Naimith were strolling the league when Callachan was let go.

Dusty Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I notice Marcus Godinho has signed for Vancouver Whitecaps. Brandon was playing well until injury (again) - hope he gets himself fit and then he can take it from there. Needs a run of games somewhere to get going anyway.

Cruyff Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Brandon has had a torrid time with injuries but before his last injury he was playing well. He's been out for so long though that I can't see how he gets up to speed to get a proper chance, even if he's fit to train, he's certainly not going to be ready to play first team games. I think his best bet is a loan to a lower league club in January to get some games under his belt and then he can maybe win himself a move to a decent team next summer.

We could do with more options but by all accounts Logan has a good chance there. Of course we could sign someone just in case Smith is injured more often but that's how our squad got so bloated the last year or two isn't it? The system change was more about playing 5 forwards anyhow wasn't it? Moore can fill in at RWB, so can a couple of others. I'd like to see Ginnelly there personally if needs must.

The expectations for Logan are high indeed problem being all three of those players are injured then. I think if Bob had thought Ginnelly could cover at RWB he would have done it already, Moore doesn't look tremendously convincing at RB. . Hope that Smith is back for today as that particular berth is thinly covered at the moment.

jambonian Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I know he's had his fair share of injury problems but Brandon has been about the club for a few years without really making a place in the team his own. For his sake, and at his age, he should be playing games every week (once his injuries have passed) and with another club. It's a bit like when Zanatta was at Hearts...a good few years without contributing much yet he was still given contracts. Players get stale and need a new challenge, Brandon is in this situation now and his career needs a kick. He should get a club no bother, Championship or lower Prem, he's decent and experienced enough. His career'll be over before he knows it if he hangs around Hearts too much longer.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Good luck to him at an Alloa, Cove or Falkirk type club on loan in January, shop window loan deal for him to get back playing and try to win himself a pro deal at that level. Fingers crossed he has a good career ahead, with a fair wind he could possibly make it up to Championship level or even Premiership after a few seasons learning his trade, a bit like Jordan Mcgee who’s done really well to carve out a pro career after a few seasons, managed to get up to Dundee standard of player which is a good achievement. Similar type of player actually, can see a similar path for Brandon. Hope he can stay injury free from now on good luck to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccjambo1874 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) At 23 it's his last chance to show it. I do think he might be more suited to the formation we play now with us having 3 at the back. Up to him to show he is fit and able to prove he's good enough. If Ralston can come on to a game domestically there's no reason why JB can't. Otherwise as folk have correctly stated he'll find himself down a division or two potentially having to work his way back. I do hope the former is more likely as it's a position we desperately need to improve with Smith getting on and Moore not guaranteed to be with us past January.
