They offered him a new deal and his agent had been talking about a move down south apparently according to their fans. Seems we have offered him a better deal.

I've had time to take thought on this one since hearing about it yesterday. I wasn't exactly excited by this potential signing, though if we want the best out of our two likely goalscorers, Brophy and Dennis, a wrecking ball figure working up front with them either creating knock ons or pulling the opposition out of play, could be a very good foil to give them the freedom to do their thing. Not every forward is prolific in front of goal, though their link up can create the chances for others.

He's just returned. Think he played 17 and scored 2. I'd love to have him back though I don't know if he would see it as a step back. Should have plenty of suiters this summer if out of Hibs' plans

He's absolutely flying in the MLS just now. Maybe a closer to home punt would be a loan deal for Mallan if affordable and he's interested.

Hopefully the club have set a deadline or its off the table.

He's played there before and if they are interested it would be a no brainer for him to be interested himself, joining a double cup winning side that will also be playing at least a handful of games in Europe too. He's an okay player, though not one who I've ever thought would improve the quality of our own squad.

Tait is probably one of the fittest players over 90mins at the club, always at either end of the park up to the last kick of a ball. Fraser and Flynn also play that position as well as Tammy for cover.

Strange why he's not on any of the lists released yesterday.

Hanley, captain of newly promoted Norwich & Premier league players Cooper and Fleck are all playing at a very decent level and are just as deserving of a place than 10 games Patterson and a few games Gilmour. Patterson and Gilmour may be brought along for the experience, or they may break through to a start, though the three players you have mentioned have just as much right to be there for the standard they are playing at. There is no-one off the top of my head who I think should be in front of them who missed out.

Agree. Imagine Griffiths got the nod to come off the bench ahead of the likes of Kevin Nisbet for example who has had a tremendous season, got his head down and worked for his call-up.

My bad. I thought id heard he had signed a new contract whilst watching highlights couple of weeks ago. It may have been another player they were talking about signing a new deal.

I think he signed a new 2 year deal a couple of weeks ago

I think he is heading south of the border.

If he stays clear of injury, he is definitely the sort of player we should be looking at if he fits within our budget.

Connolly assisted two, MacPherson scored one and Quaner scored another. What more do you want from your subs, as that clearly worked from an attacking perspective. Killie like ourselves were exposed at the back due to their attacking nature in the game. Tommy Wright...also tactically naive

For me, Connolly last night showed some magnificent signs of what he is capable of and is certainly worth a new contract. His delivery was much better and he assisted two goals off the bench.

Quaner looked much sharper and effective when he came on last week. He definitely would become a huge asset, though from my understanding, he has been on some serious money in the past. Jim did say we were lucky to have him and only for the pandemic we were given opportunity to bring him in to get himself in the shop window. I know he hasn't exactly had the game time to put himself in the shop window, though clubs in England and Germany already know of him and the type of player he is. Hopefully he brings some more in these remaining games.

Cannae really complain after the run of home games we got in February and couldn't take advantage of.

I've not read the full way through this thread, though in short for me, what has cost us, is: failing to take advantage of all of those home games in February, including the 2 games in-hand over everyone else around us. Top 6 should have been wrapped up by end of February. Secondly, tactically at times, the manager has got it wrong and has never really shouldered the blame for that. The Accies game at the weekend i felt Goody tried to deflect the blame on the referee when he should have admittedly held his hands up that his decisions in the second half cost us three points and not the referee Lack of strikers been made available the last couple of months due to injury.

There is a very decent player in there. We have seen it before his move to Derby and in his season on loan. If he can re-find that form, we have a very good asset on our hands. Form is temporary, talent is permanent as they say.

I dislocated shoulder can take a few months to recover from. Just as we hit a good bit of form again, we lose a few key players. Hopefully big Quaner is not too far away from a return to give us another option further up the field.

I personally think the club may wait till we get to a certain number of points on the table, that are based on previous seasons as safe enough to finish above bottom two. I don't think we are too far away from that and could possibly had said amount of points by end of Feb if we take advantage of the amount of home fixtures we have.

Caused every team problems we have came up against. Very few players can match his pace and his determination to keep the ball. He has been a huge asset and adds something we have not had for quite sometime. The assist last night was a great example of what he is capable of on his day.

I think we did have some sort of sell on from what I remember. May not be huge, though they are selling him for around 10x what they paid us for him. Could easily help pay towards a players wage till end of season

I will eat my words. What a sensational performance last night. Did not look out of place after being out so long. I'd keep him in the starting lineup for Saturday.
