laukat Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I could see Gordon doing a job for QoS if they can find his right position. He's been used in more forward areas because he pops up with the occasional goal. However I actually think he is a defensive midfielder. We played him there once in a 2-1 home win against Falkirk and he was pretty good until he got injured just before halftime. At 23 he really needs to get a run of games in a settled position otherwise he could struggle to stay in the proffessional game. He is a best a lower end championship player and so far not shown he is good enough to play in a team in the top half so I would be amazed if we offer him a contract in the summer but having him on loan allows us to recall him should we hit a run of injuries/covid asbcences.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 We've already got SIX central midfielders signed for next season. Plus I imagine we can extend Crawford's contract. It's hard then to see a way back for Gordon. To be re-signed by us he'll either have to score a barrel load with QoS or excel in another position.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 I like Shea. He is athletic, does not hide and can play midfield or full/wing back. Played as a #10 he popped up with goals. Hoped he would get more of a chance for the team even còming on as a sub when we needed a Plan B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost count of the number of games last season where he was invisible, barely touching the ball or an opposing player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we do, always want every Thistle player to do well. I know what you mean, imo the sooner we get his situation sorted the better. If he goes we need to get somebody in to replace him, we already need back up to challenge Rudden and Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think Shea Gordon has played the equivalent in minutes of approximately 50 games for Thistle. Given that he scored twice in the first 9 minutes of his debut v Stenhousemuir, my calculation is that if he had maintained the same scoring rate he would now be sitting on 1000 goals for Thistle and would be an absolute and total legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenhousemuir have been generous to Thistle in recent times. Apart from Shea Gordon, they lost goals in the same game (July 2016) to Ade Azeez, Matthias Pogba, David Amoo and a Sean Welsh penalty during a period when we had more chance of winning the National Lottery than being awarded a penalty.

Sorry Barney, but his debut was in 2018. 2 goals in the first 9 minutes and we thought we were going to score a barrowload, but as usual we managed to hang in there and hold on for the 2-0 victory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't intend to suggest the Shea Gordon game was the same as the 4-1 game. Reading it back, I can see why my post would be interpreted that way. Mea culpa.

exiledjag Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great discussion! So looking to the future are there any rumours about anymore possible signings in this window. What about Bobby Linn at Arbroath. Admittedly he is not a youngster but he is a left sided player and has a good left foot . He appears to no longer be a first choice and spends most of his time on the bench! Recalling the 1-3 defeat at Firhill a few years ago he certainly gave our full back a torrid time. Might be worth a shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Bobby Linn is one of those names that seems to have been around for more than 20 years. But I’m sure he’s not that old 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
