Callum Gilhooley Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Mallan played the whole game, scored one and smacked one of the bar for the U23s last week but was not even included in the squad for yesterdays U23 game . Meanwhile the full team get scudded on Tuesday and the manager comes out publicly slating his players and criticising those fringe players he has given a chance saying they havent performed. Could this be Stevies opportunity to step up and show what he can do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I am a fan of the wee man. I believe that we miss his dead ball skills and who could forget 'that' goal he 'scored at Dundee! I would have him back but couldn't guarantee that he would start eery game. I watched both of the Scotland under 21 games in Perth recently . In the first he ran the show from midfield. In the second against a physically stronger and faster team he struggled to get fully I to the game. He is a great footballer. He is still young and needs to build more physical strength. Could he do that back here on loan and add quality to our pool? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther G. Presley Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Mallan would have buried the free kick we had in the second half yesterday, which incidentally why did Eckersley take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bender rodriguez Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I know his old man posts on here but I would have thought he would have encouraged him to go elsewhere. Barnsley were always going to be whipping boys in that division stevie is a great player in a dominant team but he is not a battler I don't know if it's just financially he went there but seems a strange decision to me. Would love him back though would genuinely think we would win the league if he came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 It's more about the pool these days and obviously he would add to the quality available giving us an opportunity for both covet and variation in the style of our play.

We have had lots of FK opportunities just outside box this season which we have not taken advantage of and I am sure stevie would have scored a couple. I like mc Shane and mcginn but think they have been pretty inconsistent this season. Going forward they have been good but their defensive capabilities are not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Magennis could be dropped as well, with Smith, Morgan and Reilly as the front three. I think McShane has played better than Magennis so far this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward would be the absolute reason for bringing him in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are selling McShane short. He works harder than Stevie did and he's part of a good unit. As for consistency. If we had that from all the players they probably moved on to better things and I can't recall Mallan being solid defensively Edited December 11, 2017 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Mallan certainly no Paulo Maldini but McShane does not seem to know whether he should be going forward, staying, tracking back or halving someone in mid o park. There's a player there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
