Mr. T Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Looked very composed on the ball. Gave us some attacking threat we were missing prior to him coming on. Couple of times where he was a bit behind the play when off the ball (still in right back position when other players were looking for him as an out ball on the forward right) but that'll come with time playing with the other players. Definitely some potential there. Shame he's only on loan, but he'll do a job for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts00 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Really impressed. Looked really tricky, positive and put in good balls with his right and left foot. Very promising. If he is indeed a real attacking threat then the shape makes a lot of sense. We play three at the back, but when in possession Dexter plays high and wide, Cochrane plays inverted and becomes an attacking midfielder and Benny sits in front of the three. Meanwhile Forrest can play wide left and his starting position is there but has free reign to wander inside as he does quite intelligently. I am hopeful despite today that we will improve quite a bit in an attacking sense in the second half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilmuir Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 1 hour ago, TheBigO said: Opposition notwithstanding, i thought that was an excellent debut. Really liked him. No hesitancy, looked to be a threat every time, great feet, put crosses in with both foot too. Very promising. Wee word for Wilson too, who didn't look out of place. His movement looked sharp and clever around the box Based on what we saw today, I’d be starting Dexter and James Wilson before Oda and Tigawa.

RedStarRiot Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I suppose there are no surprises here. It was claimed he was good going forward prior to joining us. I think it’s his defending that’s supposed to be sketchy so let’s see him against Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs. I agree it’s a positive start though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 1 hour ago, Pilmuir said: Based on what we saw today, I’d be starting Dexter and James Wilson before Oda and Tigawa. Yes, kinda agree. But its not that simple. Rwb is easy. Its Dexters. Cf is trickier. Wilson needs managed. If we dont see him again this season, its no failure. If hes smashing it at training and makes himself impossible not to pick, then thats another thing. Lets not Harry Cochrane him! Then theres Tagawa. The guy is still early in his time with us. Hes not to be written off yet, but its a catch 22. Feel he needs minutes on the pitch but hes not earning them. The lad could come good, but he definitely wont if we give up on him! Know what i mean? Its a tricky one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Klack Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Not sure about his defensive abilities yet as he wasn’t tested on that front today but he looks to be very direct and skill full going forward. Quite excited by this signing 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Done more with his first passage of play than Oda had the entire game. Actually went forward instead of back the way or lose the ball running into a player. High hopes for this lad looks like he has a burst of pace about him as well.

Ian Black 8 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Looked positive when he came on.. was direct n wanted to beat his man… put some good crosses into the box with both feet maybe unlucky no to score aswell but a wouldn’t be against seeing him start against Dundee 👌🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question for Naismith is how many chances does he give Tagawa if Wilson looks a better bet, despite his age. Personally, I’d be inclined to use Tagawa as a sub once games are already won to find out if there is a player there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTJ Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Kudos to Dougie Samuel for immediatel realising Dexter would cause problems and moving another player over, lagging 5 yards behind the left back. It made it harder for Dexter to just run past him. What it didn't do was stop him though! He looks pretty good going forward - and covered back well, when required.

whodanny Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Looks very promising, but I hope we don't see an Ellis Simms scenario where he does really well for us until the end of the season, then his parent club either won't sell or want a silly price for him.

Which I already think is a shame!!! Wonder if he does well if there may be an outside chance of another year... On a similar subject, I see James Hill started for Bournemouth yesterday. Well done lad! Left back as well! When this happens, it's great news for us. He came up here, his loan was up and down to be fair, but he came up worked on his game, worked hard for a spot in the team which he eventually earned and now he's a first team member at his EPL club. Simms made Everton decent money. The more loans go well, the better standard of player will be sent to us - the more we'll be trusted. Dexter could be the next one we show our worth with. I'd love if we didn't need to get English U23 guys on loan, but there's no doubt it can be a very fruitful market for us. Kind of a high quality stopgap for positions we're waiting on the right permanent signing or have a guy in development for. You can also end up with a Cochrane situation.
