insaintee Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Marwood and Caldwell both looked good yesterday. Add in Tommo and there's not going to be much game time for Thomas. He could play wide right but there we have Teale, (who was not great yesterday) and Marwood (Who I think would be wasted out there). So he's dropped down in the pecking order. If he wants games he needs to go on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn ed Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 You really have a down on Thomas don't you. Just for the record which Premier team have you managed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPar72 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 You really have a down on Thomas don't you. Just for the record which Premier team have you managed ? I note you haven't mentioned which team you've managed. You clearly can't be objective about Reilly. Dunno why. The guy needs to go on loan and show what he can do. He won't get that opportunity with us due to Thompson, and the fact we play 1 up front. However he seems to be quite comfortable in his situation, as it is. Which is disappointing.

FTOF Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 that may be because of the players currently available rather than a desired tactic i hope it is the desired tactic however Might be, but from what I've seen of Marwood , who has been pretty decent, his ideal position is up front playing off another striker.

Soctty Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I haven't seen enough of Reilly in the first team to make any sort of damning verdict on him. He might not be good enough, but I can't say for sure because he's never been given much of a chance. That may be down to him not deserving a chance based on his showing in training. I'm not about to use the number of goals he scored in an 11 goal rout as a reason he's not good enough. I hope to see more of him this season. Seemed a bit lightweight from what little I have seen of him, but as I've said - haven't seen enough of the boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthSection5 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 He needs game time, but unless we bring in another striker before the window shuts, I think he should stay and fight for his place. He's had a disrupted last two season tbh with injury, but he looked a very bright prospect before that. It took a while for McLean to cement himself into the team, as well as McAusland. He just needs time - he's only 19 ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs time - he's only 19 ffs. I don't disagree with any of that, but I think he also needs to demonstrate a bit more desire if he wants the support onside. He seems a bit half-arsed at times, which isn't good to see in a young lad. Now is his time to shine, if he has it in him. Personally, I think he has a bit to go and might struggle to make a sustained impact based on what I've seen of him (albeit limited, to be fair), but I hope he proves me wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ McG Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Please give examples of Reilly's best games I can't remember any?? He's not good enough and isn't going to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leolovesstmfc Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Two assist's the other night in a pre season game doesn't fill me with optimism! he will sit on the bench for a season then be released at the end if he stays! If he goes on loan to a lower division team and does well scores some goals then that could save him this fate and St.Mirren some money?

gstretchuk Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Fact is Reilly hasn't got it, never had it and will never have it to play professional football .i doubt he would even get a game in Scotland's bottom league..hes a skinny wee lad who likes to mess about more in warm ups than try hard..he will never ever make it at Saints and would be better leaving making a career for himself outside football...

class of 76-77 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it would be unfair in the extreme to write a young lad off, without giving him a run of games while out on loan or with the first team at St Mirren. Thomas might or might not make the grade at this level, but to write him off before he's even made half a dozen starts is just wrong. Give the boy a fair chance to prove himself before making rash judgments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
