ri Alban Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 He was very good yesterday, even after he was booked he kept going. I thought we relaxed a bit too early and should've made back our goal difference. But that's me being greedy, we were and so was Devlin and Beni, very good.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Devlin has Durocell batteries connected to his heart, his running and chasing down is immense!! He gets a lot of stick on here for not playing forward enough, but I think its our other players that are slow to react to his movement!!!

Just can’t see how he’s going to improve is all. He is what he is. Devlin is only 23. This is his first season in Scottish football, which might not be brilliant but is still a significant step up from where he's played before. You might turn out to be right, but at the same time, it's by no means out of the question to think that in the next year or two, he could become a bit more confident and consistent with his finishing (starting to get a few goals per season), as well as learning to read the game a little better and be a bit better at judging when to charge about and when to calm down a bit. He's never going to be a passing maestro like Fulton at his best or Aguiar, he's always going to be primarily a dynamo in the engine room area, but I don't see any reason to believe he can’t become a better version of the sort of player he is!

So was Beni, so it's not out of the question! A lot depends on whether next summer Everton still see him as having any chance of making it with them, or if not, whether they're getting enough interest from elsewhere to get a significant fee for him. I suspect our best hope is that it's pretty much a no to both! If it's a yes to the former, but they think he still needs another season on loan, we just might be able to get him back on loan again, particularly if we've got group stage European football guaranteed, as that would be a significant thing to be able to offer him experience-wise!

I hope we can turn his head to either do what Beni did and thought Hearts made more sense for him football wise. Or if another loan season is doable. The Beni thing is weird because he seems so comfortable on the ball that it’s hard to believe no English championship teams thought him worthy. Was he ever on loan anywhere down South?

Y'mean, something like his goal yesterday when he brilliantly won possession in the middle, played a lovely pass to Boyce, anticipated the loose ball when Boyce was dancing thro' 3 St Mirren players, plays the ball forward perfectly into Bene's stride and struck a lovely controlled finish high into the net from the rebound off the keeper? Can't wait for him to reach that level 😉 Neither Garruchio or Bozanic could lace his boots. Love Cammy. The boy has bags of skill and is the best midfield tackler in the SPFL. Great vision and doesn't get nearly enough credit for his passing ability. Already a very very important cog in this much improved version of Hearts.

I agree that the claim that he has peaked is nonsense. But disagree about his consistency. For the most part this season he has been brilliant most games. His form did drop off a bit in the last few - possibly affected by the swapping him, Beni and Haring around - but he was definitely back to his best yesterday. For me, he is one of the more dependable performers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozi Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The one thing that we have all been saying for the last 3-4 years is that we were too slow, too pedestrian and had no energy in the midfield. Cammy brings this energy, this drive and this pace to the middle of the park that nobody else in our team can match. He is a young player with room to develop and improve, as he matures his sense of positioning will improve and hopefully, his ability to arrive in the box late will result in him getting more goals. I was out on Saturday night in Edinburgh and had the fortune to bump into Cammy, he is exactly as warm and lovely as you would expect. He happily posed for a selfie and listen to me drunkenly rambling on, he even recorded a video for my 6 year old later on which was amazing. Lovely fella 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
