We really should be playing shankland for 60 mins and Boyce for 30mins most games as his replacement. I’ll concede that but what a low bar!

Everyone hits their peak at different times and levels. I'd love for him to be banging in 25-30 goals within the next couple of years but there's no guarantee he'll get to that level even if he is better than some who do at this age. But I'm optimistic he will come good for us. He looks like he has the tools to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a young guy travelling half way across the world and is starting to find his feet. 3 in 3 and plenty more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are reliant on Shankland so not detracting too much from your point. Hibs at easter Road, Ross county at home and that’s not touching on the start of the season. Agreed but that was the most mediocre opposition we have played this season by a country mile. And our first game of the season without Shankland and **** me that was a hard watch today. I didn’t think we looked like scoring after they equalised but thankfully got out of jail with another goal from a corner (something that wasn’t happening earlier in the season so at least that is another area we have improved on). We are very reliant on Shankland and I was responding to a post suggesting that we would be fine without him which is bat shit crazy.

Also, we play Shankland for 90 minutes because, unlike Boyce, he can get a goal out of nothing like in injury time at ER. That game finishes 0-0 if we take Shankland off. And we lose to Ross County, draw at Livi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been waiting since Robbo for a striker of the quality of Shankland so I doubt many of us will be too confident that we will adequately replace him when he leaves. Let’s be realistic, we can’t afford a like for like replacement, he would be way out of our price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of opposition probably made it the worst tbf. As I’ve already said we rely on Shankland, hopefully we’ll not find out how much.

Bull's-eye Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Good young player but still looks a bit lost as to how and where he's expected to play to my eyes. Hence the wasted runs and being a yard of it on occasions. Attitude looks fantastic though and thats half the battle, he'll do very well under a decent coach and implemented into a decent system.

Now if you could try to explain, after struggling badly against the 8th worst team in Scotland in what was our first game of the season without Shankland, how does that in any way alleviate fans’ fears of how much we will struggle without him? We were 2 minutes from extra time against a part time team today ffs. Edited January 20 by Fozzyonthefence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Profuse apologies mate I’ve literally no idea what you’re on about now. So, no explanation of how Vargas scoring against part time Spartans means we’ll be fine against much stronger opposition without Shankland? Thought not.

stuart500 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I like wee Kenaldo. He's more a Ginnelly replacement though so if we are daft enough to part ways with Shankland in this window we bloody well better have a quality replacement lined up. Wee Kenneth will hopefully really kick on now whoever his partner up front is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 You could say Vargas is a project, but a very good one, already displaying great potential. At 21 years of age, coming to a freezing cold country, being away from his wife and kid. I'd say he's doing pretty darn good. In 2 years time he could be a revelation. I hope we sign him permanently.
