Before the derby last Sunday I rewatched a lot of clips of Shankland's goals against Hibs, starting with the one in August 2022 at Easter Road. He looks considerably heavier now than he did then. Even in January 2023 when he scored that brilliant second goal in the Cup game at ER he looked positively sylph-like compared to now.

 

His weight may not be the only factor in his current goal drought. It may not even be the most important one. But it certainly won’t be helping, and I think it’s indicative of a lack of professionalism on his part.

👍. Looks heavier to me.

Nah. £350K for a win in that league. We need all the cash we can get.

We have more money than we’ve ever had, and are bottom of the league. 
Not sure more money is the answer really. 
The two runs of 7 games in 22 days, and then 12 in 43 is going to test this squad and is a baptism of fire for the new manager. 
I dont think we will prioritise either, whether we should is debatable.

Spot on, put this on another thread.

That was meant to say soul destroying (as in people at the club put so much in to achieve it and the fans look forward to it so much). Slightly less dramatic that it reads as written.

You are joking!!

I understand that first team players need a breather sometimes, 0but Europe!!?? With around 200k  a point at stake (plus ticket sales, hospitality etc)
