DETTY29 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Apologies if mentioned as not read through the last few pages but we need 2 strikers in. Shankland, Boyce ran themselves into the ground as expected and none of Henderson, Ginnelly, Mackay-Steven trusted to come on and run channels to see out game or get 2nd goal, needs addressing.

Last29 minutes yesterday would have been perfect time for some minutes on pitch. Shankland & Boyce we’re done and we were crying out for someone with pace to stretch Hibs. No point in him or Ginnelly sitting on bench if not trusted to do a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found ourselves in the same problem as the cup final where we did throw some on and got no return. At the moment the squad is far too weak outside our best starting XI.

Leveins Battalion Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The whole players waiting to decide whether they want to come to us is contrary to the mantra Savage has been preaching. Who knows why it is taking so long to get players in,but we have a Sporting Director,a manager,a Head of Recruitment and a recruitment analyst. Now I am sure between them all they must know off hundreds if players if not thousands however the longer we go the more frustrating it gets.Especially after seeing yesterdays game and having nothing on the bench to bring on in an attacking sense.

Star24 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I know it is frustrating, but I would rather we passed up on guys the management team don't think will take us forward to the next step like Davenport and the likes as opposed to just bringing them in - I see this as a real positive. We must be pretty confident of others joining the club before the deadline window shuts given we all know the aims this season and the demands on the whole squad.

We generally sign players on 2 or three year contracts or on 6/12 month loans, not just for 2 fixtures. The strategy didn’t work out too badly last season.

Once the rumoured striker comes in I reckon he’ll be off, although we do need him for homegrown contingent. What amazes me is why did we renew his contract when it’s pretty clear robbie will never give him a chance to prove if he’s good enough.

Berra than you Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I assume (hope) that if we are signing another sitting/holding type midfielder it frees Grant up to compete with McKay, Forrest and Boyce for the attackers in behind Shankland.

ramrod Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 As it pushes towards the end of the window players will start commiting to clubs. It's inevitable that the quality of player we are now after will have options It's just a case of being patient and I've no doubt Savage and the rest of the team will be working round the clock on getting deals over the line Forrest, Shankland, Grant and Knowles are all evidence of the quality Savage has been able to attract , I have zero worries he will deliver another couple , its just a case of being patient till the right players are ready to commit.
