Personally, I’d give him leeway to see how he does after a few starts in a row…then that will be the time to judge how good or pish he actually is. But yeah you’re right, it’s much better to simply say he’s pish now…then if he does get a run of games and does well, I can pretty much guarantee posters like yourself will be on here posting about how awesome he is (exactly like what has happened with Vargas).

There no chance he's getting a few starts in a row now, unless he does something in first game to get the start in the 2nd game. Its harsh, but that's football.

Cambo_Jambo Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 2 hours ago, Deviskan said: I’d actually like to see those three get a run of games at some point (hopefully when we’ve nailed third) Fraser playing behind them could be fairly exciting! Agree. I feel like we signed them but haven't played the way that suits them yet. Vargas can't play through the middle because Shankland is far too good in there. Oda seems to want to take people on and that's not really what we're set up to do playing a lone striker. Tagawa looks like he wants to be running onto balls and we've not had anybody around to do that for him consistently so he's probably not had much of a shot at playing his natural game.

I’d not be against that either…but have only seen him in one game, so not sure what type of forward he is. Is he a similar type to Tagawa, looking for through balls behind the defence to run onto?

I've only seen him on TV in the recent cup game but too little time to judge. However the fact that he was being chased (reportedly) by some top clubs suggests he has a future and the importance of providing a youth pathway cannot be under estimated.

Completely agree Naismith in his press conference when asked if they thought about getting another striker, talked about Tagawa. He spoke about how he has not had the minutes that both Naismith and Tagawa would have liked but with Shankland in the form he is in that it makes getting game time hard. Also believes he will bring more in the second half of the season. I do think Fraser helps Tagawa more as Fraser is very good at reading the runs of his team mates which Tagawa is very good at make runs.

FarmerTweedy Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 20 hours ago, Le Chat said: Maybe Derek Adams was right and we are skint 😃 It's the only logical reason for not bringing in a striker on loan at least, considering the Boyce news (which wont have been a surprise to the club). There are other logical reasons, such as the manager and coaches who work with the squad on a daily basis being confident that we have enough attacking options of suitable quality to cope even if Shankland did get injured, or the manager and coaches feeling that with the attacking options we've got, bringing in another forward player would just make things difficult in training, particularly the parts of training that primarily relate to in-game tactics, shape, linkup play, etc, rather than to fitness, or that an additional striker would make it more difficult to get some of the youth players that are pushing for involvement in the first team squad the level of involvement in training that would be ideal to help them make the step up. Or maybe any of that lot combined with the manager considering that any other striker signed would almost certainly spend the vast majority of the remainder of the season on the bench and use up money that could otherwise go towards helping bringing in someone in the summer who would be expected to play regularly, or to making an improved contract offer to someone we'd like to keep. But nah, instead of any (or all) of that, it's far more logical that not making a signing that some jkb posters would have liked to see means we haven't got a pot to piss in!
