tcjambo Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Kingsley is the only one to run Shanks anywhere near close. Kent also excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMJ_1874 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Top 5 standouts for me have been …..in no particular order: Clark Kent Kingsley Nieuwenhof Shankland …….and a very special mention to Kenny Vargas who came late to the party. Don’t think anyone else comes close to these players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I think it is hard to say Hoff should score highly across the whole season, but for a while before his recent injury he was playing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 1. Gordon - N/A - Hasn't played enough games 2. Kent - 8 - A couple of mistakes but has generally been excellent 3. Kingsley - 7 - A good, solid season, recovering from the issues that he had at the end of last season 4. Halkett - 5 - Injured most of the season but not exactly inspiring in his appearances 5. Haring - 4 - Faded out of the picture and will probably be playing elsewhere next season 6. Baningime - 7 - Not quite the Beni of his debut season but our key midfielder again 7. Grant - 6 - Coming on to a game but has been hot and cold most of the season. Hopefully peaking at the right time 8. Nieuwenhof - 7 - Until his injury, our best player of this calendar year after a shaky start 9. Shankland - 9 - Player of the season by a distance. The question is how we cope next season in a post-Shankland world 10. Boyce - 4 - Not the best of starts to the season and then got injured 11. Oda - 6 - A curate's egg of a season. Still looks to have more potential 13. Atkinson - 5 - Some excellent appearances and some absolute stinkers. Not the first choice that he should have developed into 14. Devlin - 6 - Started the season excellently but is almost the polar opposite of Nieuwenhof at the minute 15. Rowles - 7 - Might be slightly generous as he still struggles in a back 4 but is excellent when we play 3 at the back 16. Halliday - 2 - A few sub appearances but will get more marks if he stops the vermin getting Top 6! 17. Forrest - 7 - For a player who looked like a benchwarmer last season, he has come on leaps and bounds. That goal in the first derby of the season changed his season 18. McKay - N/A - May play a key part before the end of the season 19. Cochrane - 7 - A solid season with some excellent appearances and some poor ones 21. Sibbick - 4 - Brilliant when he doesn't have to think. A liability when he does. A disappointment 22. Denholm - 6 - Credit to him for reaching squad player level. Not sure that he has the ability to get better but in these days of 20 man match squads, he has his place 24. Pollock - N/A 25. Tait - 7 - Haven't been as excited about a young player coming through since Callum Paterson. Still a lot to learn but he could be massive for us next season 28. Clark - 8 - His consistency level has kept Craig Gordon out of the team. Hopefully we get two keepers in the Euros. 29. Fraser - 4 - A fleeting career with us. 30. Tagawa - 2 - I feel sorry for him but he looks so lost and down it is frightening 51. Lowry - 3 - Fleeting appearances with excellent performances against Partick and Kilmarnock in the League Cup. Otherwise, his loan will be forgettable 54. Wilson - N/A - Could have a Tait style trajectory 77. Vargas - 8 - An excellent debut season and the 5 year deal was excellent business 81. Lembikisa - 4 - Started well but looks shaky defensively. I don't expect him to be here next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Jambo Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) A Hearts player who scores 27 goals in 40 games. If that isn't a 10 out of 10 for us, I don't know what is. Edited April 12 by Saint Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Outside of Shankland, Kent has been our standout performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 10- Kent, signing has transformed our season, him being missing v Ross county exposed instantly how vulnerable we are without him ( or a match fit Halkett). 9- Shankland, could swap with Kent (or give a 10) but imo Kent is the difference from last season to this season. 8 Kingsley- lb, ch, rb guy is solid and can play. Forrest- is a wee bit limited but he plays to his max levels and really is a team player, been good this season - direct and a goal threat. Big Z- some great saves, been good enough for Naismith to keep Gordon on the bench! 7 Cochrane - can get caught out defensively, but a good team player and generally solid performer Rowles - improved v last season, excellent in the tackle and ground blocks, improving in the air, Kent has helped him vargas- Good pace and quite explosive, scored a few goals. He's settled well, although still a bit light weight Hoff- started of very tentative , last few months seen him gain confidence and became a very good player, will be a 8-10 next season with this progress, good all round midfielder. Beni- just brings a control and calmness to the midfield that is hard to get at our level, like Kent a key difference v last season. 6- Dexter- good going forward, settled well for young chap, defensively vulnerable Aki- 6 limited by injuries, although ok still not what I want as first choice rb 5 or under- Devlin - limited game time Sibbick- limited game time and prone to mistakes, Kingsley been chosen at rb over him tells me where his future lies. Tagawa - very limited game time, Been generally poor when had the chance. Oda- limited from the bench, scored a few goals and looks lively at times. Mckay, Boyce, Halkett- Injuries Haring, Haliday- no or very, very limited game time Tait, Denholm- all contributed when needed. Fraser, few games, limited impact. Gordon, limited game time.

Bull's-eye Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Kent 9 Shanks 8.5 Clark 8.5 Most improved is Forrest, huge improvement over the season. Kent would get my vote as player of the season as we missed him massively when not available. Shanks not so much.

RustyRightPeg Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 The spine of our team (Shanks, Beni, Kent, Kingsley & Clark all mainstays) have all been 8 & 9s most of the year. A spurt of inconsistency ranging between 5 & 7s everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Shankland, Kent, Beni, the Hoff (very very poor start however) and Clark have been our best players imo. Forrest on his game has been immense but he has too many poor games. Rowles is improving. Cochrane - I just don't get the hype Kingsley I think has been ok. Vargas I think will only improve - I think he is a shoe in to make us money. Tait has had some good spells but I feel he is not a first team starter. Atkinson, Sibbick (a very likeable individual), Devlin, Denholm, Tagawa and Oda must be upgraded. No point even rating Halkett and Boyce. Haring goes with my best wishes but very glad he is away - frees up a hospital bed at least. Mckay is good and I would keep. Fraser looks ****ing woeful and Dexter after an impressive start is not going to be missed. Edited April 12 by i8hibsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Klack Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Whilst Shankland has been our best player by a considerable distance, a clear second, again by a considerable distance would be Kent. He’s been the rock our great season (so far) has been built on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Doody Jambo Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It's a team game so far a good solid 9 room for improvement finish 3rd and win the cup that would be a 10 Never like to single individuals out after good and bad performances it's a results business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Shankland - Kingsley, Kent and McKay are probably the best players at the club. McKay in technical quality terms is the best player at the club by some distance.
