Albert's Ghost Posted June 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I should've said - he came on as a central defensive trialist sub today, so I'm told... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 He had a few very shaky moments when he came on but one or two nice touches as well. I noticed him in the warm up, he seemed a bit lost and didn't look like he knew anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 What what I could see from Kelty TV, he had a shocker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifexile Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) First 10 mins he was a bit shaky but looked solid after that. Played some good passes. Depends who else McColl has his sights on but worth another look IMO Edited June 26, 2021 by fifexile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 My view: Give Jones another couple of trials. Thirty years ago I was told that I basically flopped in a competitive job interview, but I got another chance, and went on to do the job that the assessors (and others) admitted later that they were fully satisfied with. Senna will come come good; if not with us, then maybe with another team, which will be to our regret (unless you're of the bobbyhouston school of premature condemnation).

QXBoy Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I can clearly recall another ex-Hearts defender coming to us. My early summation - rubbish, useless, shockingly bad, etc. His name - Conrad Balatoni. Shows what I knew - he became a very firm favourite.

Presume you didn’t watch games he was involved in last season including cup game . Have our standards dropped that far seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledjag Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I don't know anything about this player but think it's generally risky to make decisions about signing a player who falls into the 'trialist' category based on one game. The odds, for a number of reasons, are stacked against such players! Decisions should be made over a few games and a period of training with the squad. In his early days with us I thought Rudden was way out of his depth but looking at him in the last 11-12 games of last season and I couldn't believe I was watching the same player!
