pezza70 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 We won’t play all of them together so what does everyone think is the players rankings in CD’s eyes? Is Hendry no 1 or is it still Stevie M or is it Ciftci or will it be Yoghi Bear? I just hope whoever they are that they catch fire and start to get good service and they start to bang them in.

chips Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) At the moment it's definitely Hendry who poses the best goal threat, Ciftci was very unfortunate with his injury so too early to tell but I would think he'll be thrown back into the team when fit, be an interesting battle between these two for top striker spot. Bair obviously waiting for his chance and brings hight/pace options, if he hits the ground running then even better and a good problem for CDs options. Kane unlucky with his injury and gives his all but our system doesn't suit his play (meaning goal attempt options) but he's all over the pitch working hard/harassing but lack of goal attempts/chances for a striker. Same can be said for May, works his socks off but hasn't that killer instinct. So Hendry at the moment claims first striker spot, Ciftci to muscle in once fit to fight for said spot, Bair the unknown might throw a spanner into the works and be a sensation or not, I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll bring to the team.Kane/May probably would be more beneficial in a behind the attacker role where their work/harassing/ball winning would be a benefit to our strikers.

Pat McGroin Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Heard that Bair has looked brilliant in training. Height of Zander, blisteringly quick and a proper baller. Scored a hat trick in a closed door game last week supposedly. Just hoping that can translate at 3pm on a Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think, if everyone is fit, Davidson would go with Bair & Hendry. Ciftci on the bench, and possibly Kane. I think Hector-Ingram was only signed due to injuries and doubt we'll really see much of him. Apparently he was on trial at ICT before we signed him, and they didn't want to offer him a contract.

dave mc Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Bair and Hendry up top, with May or Cifti behind in Ali Crawford role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldPoster Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 If you are talking out and out strikers then i would be looking at this, With Bair being a Kane of sorts who can knock the ball on and take a foul for Ciftci to run onto Bair Ciftci Hendry Kane May Ingram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I don't think CD will know his first choice partnership yet to be honest. Will depend on how the new lad settles in, how quickly Cifti will come back and if Hendry can keep up his impressive comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Bair. Kid can play. Had a trial at Levante last season and nearly secured a deal. Heard that closed door game performance was world class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrane Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I think any striker would struggle without a decent supply of the ball from crosses or from midfielders. Old news but we've been crying out for this all season. HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I don't see May as a striker at all now. He spends too much time chasing around to be considered as such. Its a shame that injury and 'training' when he went South turned him into what he now is. Too early to make a call on Cifici & Bair....Hendry is the guy with the most goal threat, but is very much a confidence player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.B.B:- Adz Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Am I right in thinking the current strikers on our books are: Chris Kane Callum Hendry Theo Bair (paid a fee) Nadir Ciftci Eetu Vertainen (paid a fee) Stevie May (paid a fee) Jahmal Hector-Ingram Jordan Northcott 8 strikers!!!! FOUR who have barely kicked a ball in the first team. Unprecedented!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a deal that has turned out to be. 13 goals in 73 games I think, since he returned. Was a gamble worth taking at the time and this season looks like being the first he won't score 5+ league goals in. Financially it hasn't paid off though, I'd guess. Hopefully his new deal is more fitting for a squad player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
