RandomGuy Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I've just realised we've spent a page discussing Heffernan v Clarkson. Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Clarkson looked like a Sunday league amateur play who'd stumbled onto the wrong pitch at the weekend. Awful touch, inability to find a team mate, no pace and no strength. The difference in physique and mobility between him and Kane was massive. Kane looks like he's a professional sportsman, Clarkson doesn't. Edited August 5, 2014 by Nelly78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I missed the game, is Clarkson maybe suffering a crisis of confidence from a few bad years down Bristol way? I remember him being a decent player. What sort of pre-season has he had? Has he had any? I like Kane but he seems overly aggressive. Maybe just youthful excuberance but he was booked before taking a touch last week and against Celtic last term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane looks like he's a professional sportsman, Clarkson doesn't. Mostly agree. Thought he played a couple of decent balls, but his overall play was not nearly good enough. I really hope that's not the best we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Murray Davidson is ready to play again as of next week and the club are looking to tie him down on a longer term contract according to the Courier. What a boost that will be, getting him back. Kilgour, auld reekie saint and Benito Kemble 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly78 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I seem to remember quotes like this being bandied about when we sign Steven McLean so lets sign him quickly Really? Not from me anyway, I've always thought Maclean is a cracking player. Clarkson just looked immobile, weak in the air and in possession and unable to find a teammate with a simple 10 yard pass. Sad to see really, as when he was a young player coming through he looked a really good prospect. Edited August 6, 2014 by Nelly78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Judging by that first video of Morgan, he likes to score goals against Rosenborg. Stevie's perfect replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss75990 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 from what iv seen and read about morgan i think he could be a good replacement. things not worked out for him recently but think he could bag himself plenty of goals in our league. Looks like he likes to run at defences and is not afraid at taking a dig at goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we should sign him up , but when was the last time he played its ok training , but you need games to get you fit , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree you need games to get you match fit, Clarkson just looked unfit. Edited August 6, 2014 by Nelly78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchcolm Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) How about TW using his contacts and getting a proven goal scorer. Cliftonville striker Joe Gormley(24) was named the NI Football Writers Player of the Year.The forward scored a club record 37 goals last season to help the Reds secure back-to-back Premiership titles. It may be a small league but worth taking a chance on a goal scorer than a potential goal scorer Edited August 6, 2014 by Inchcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewill Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Like the look of Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 You never know.. Maybe Tommy has someone like Gormley in mind already. I'd be surprised if we didn't sign two strikers. The fact that Morgan can also play on the wing is a huge bonus and would mean we don't necessarily need to sign any more than two new players. Morgan and another (Gormley/Heffernan/Ngoo) would make me reasonably happy with our squad, although we definitely won't be able to fully replace Stevie's goals and general influence. Excellent news about Murray Davidson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
