We haven't seen too much of him but CD hasn't used him much & not been to impressed. I wonder if he would be open to terminating his contract & returning home as he is bound to be homesick & sick of not getting a game. He's contracted until the end of the season. Unless he's cripplingly unhappy I don't see why he wouldn't want to stick that out. If he gets a goal or two his situation here could turn around very quickly.

He played a great pass v Brechin (I know) and his shield and turn on the halfway line to win a free kick v Livi both show he can be clever. It might not be all about goals but involvement?

I agree he's shown some decent touches and there have been some signs that he's a good player - but I struggle to see him starting many matches for us and really making an impact unless he starts scoring a few goals.

Cagey Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think we can now assume CD doesn't rate Melamed. Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 It's an odd situation. I'd be giving him the last few minutes of each match, at the least, in order to get him up to speed. It seems a complete waste otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to think of s game we have won comfortably other than Brechin & I am sure we were told he was not fit enough then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he is struggling to adapt to life in Scotland? Have you wondered whether it is a combination of being away from home and the way the game is played in Scotland. Anyway Kane appears to have upped his game so possibly will not be a great loss if he disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenshee Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Craig, Davidson, Wotherspoon, Conway all getting old and McCann probably getting sold. We will need a whole new midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could at least be brought on for the final few minutes of matches. If he was worth giving a contract to, then he's worth giving some game time to help him get up to speed. He can't adapt to the football here if he's not given the chance. Salguodinmethven. and dunkeldneil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Having older players not such and issue if you can make 5 subs a game. We've also seen that we need a balanced squad in terms of ages. I think we have a good team this season, options in most areas. All down to converting our chances at the moment. Every week I hear the commentators on the radio saying May has to score there. He's a much better all round player than he was and works really hard so hopefully the goals wil come if we keep him in the box more.

Not a bad shot stopper but does not command his area or act as sweeper / keeper. Edited December 19, 2020 by Cagey Stumpy1949 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 If Parish is the answer then I dread to think what the question is. Truth is. Neither keeper inspires much confidence. garydavidson and Shaggy Jenkins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
