Let's hope we as a club have completely changed our philosophy regarding offers for our players. No more taking the first sniff of cash that comes along, we need to convince players and fans alike that we're building for the future, and get our players tied down to good long contracts. I'm sure under KLD we're heading that way, but I'll be happier when Donald And Charlie are gone.
I think we're in the envious position of not needing to sell. We know very little to nothing of how much the new owner is wanting and willing to pump into us or what the end game is.
Think Lee Johnson is a top coach. It’s his tactics I question (but not lately). You only have to look at what he did for / with Wyke.
I am not suggesting he is a bad coach but there is better. I am wondering if this or the Championship is Stewarts level or would he go further with one of the better coaches. By the way, I am hoping Lee Johnson will be coaching him in the Championship.
Ross is clearly a lad who listens and learns. His early background will ensure his attitude is spot on, and he looks as if he'll definitely be good enough for the next level, and I'd say, given a fair wind he'll end up playing in the Prem. Let's hope it's with us. And the same could be said of Neil and Embleton.
Nope. We are the best he will ever get. He may as well sign a 6yr deal and just crack on scoring goals for the lads. Him and Dan Neil won't get any better imo.
I personally think he is in the right place now. He still has a lot of improvement available to him, he isnt the finished product yet. His touch will improve with his back to goal. For all he is a massive team player he has no assists to his name. I have no doubt the coaches are looking at this particularly. It isnt the sort of thing that is seen in a positive light in the modern game. That said he is still really inexperienced and will improve a lot. Johnson said yesterday he is really investing in his own development as are the coaches and I think we will see that with us for at least another couple of years.
I don’t see many of our current squad making it to a higher level It would be great if circin Hume the new one and niel could make the move through the leagues Prichard has tried and feel embleton may not I would like to see a few others however I’m not sure Love to be proved wrong and we can move on with a few who can make the grade
wish we could, when SNQ first came to us i saw him as a bit of an 'ok with his head but nowt else' type of player (we did not really have the benefit of constant top league football on tv or the multi-angle cameras) as usually we all saw him head a ball home on MOTD, but the way he could find space in a crowded penalty area was magic, he also showed just how good he was with the ball at his feet and, as many have said, if he was a brazilian they would still be harping on about some of his goals. ross stewart reminds me of SNQ a lot, mainly that cheshire cat grin when he scores...his timing is damn good, he can use either foot as well as his head so there is very little he needs to learn, pretty much 'refining' what he does now.
I was amazed how good Quinny was with his feet. That chip against Port Vale(?) when he turned away celebrating whilst the ball still in the air was
