Already knows the squad, style of play and the relationship with Gordon, Kingsley, Halkett for playing from the back. Excellent first touch and chipped in with som goals and assists. If he was iffy in some games last season, playing his first proper season of senior football then there's definite potential for him to improve. Safe option from Hearts and I'm happy with it. Which other left wing backs in the league would you take over him that's affordable for comparison? Certainly not Doig Couldnt afford the 10mil Doig price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Shout out for the boys performance yesterday, bit of an unsung hero with numerous good tackles & clearances plus driving forward with the ball to take pressure off us & build chances.

henrysmithsgloves Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Why should we sell,we should be building a team to compete and win. That's part of the problem with Scottish football,any decent player gets mainly snatched up by the bum cheeks to sit on the bench. Keep us "the wee diddy teams "down.

Victorian Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 He's the player most comfortable on the ball when we're playing it out from the back and he usually picks the better passes into the middle third. It should be part of the tactics to get players to make a run or drop into a pocket of space in timing for one of his passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 He's been great this season and stepped it up to another level. We won't hang onto him forever but hopefully he makes us some decent wedge when he does leave. He had one great block in the 6 yard box from Nisbet on Monday. At the game I actually thought he was sloppy with a few clearances but it's probably more to do with the fact that his performances have been so high that you notice it more. He made the free kick from where we scored the second goal by driving out of defence and feeding it into Shankland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boag1874 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Can't say enough about him tbh, first rate attitude, one of the best first touches in the squad, athletic, can slot in to LCB, LB, or LWB seamlessly, defends well & comfortable on the ball. He's destined for the top no mistake about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if it's been posted before. Thanks for posting. Liked him from day one - first-class attitude which sets him apart from others of similar ability. Always tries his absolute best, even when being asked to play in unfamiliar roles against bigger, stronger players - might bounce off them at first but always comes back for more. Excellent first touch and can hit some pinpoint crossfield rakers. Up there with the best signings we've made in the last couple of years.

Rudy T Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 As others have said if we can match him on the other side we’d have some defence. Hopefully JS and co have someone in mind. Any thoughts that we don’t improve players is being blown out the water by Cochrane and Sibbick. Would love to see Grant being the next one, he’s got talent just needs a bit of time and a run in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naeclue Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Most improved player for me, he's come on leaps and bounds since he signed permanently. Breaks forward with more assurance and effectiveness, and I'm expecting goals from him (wtf happened at Pittodrie Alex if you are looking in...). He's taken responsibility in the air in the absence of Halkett, and has a great attitude. Also seems to sustain heavy tackles and keep on ticking. Up there for player of the year.
