Griff Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 A Ted McMinnesque type player who sometimes doesn,t know what he,s doing himself , works hard and is often the loan striker , but has a bit of muscle about him and will be hard to play against , and who also might create the spaces for our midfielders to get scoring chances , thinking he,s the type of player who might respond from the crowd getting behind him , Good Luck Yoann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Always looked a bit moody whenever I've seen him. Strong and looks like he will get some goals, but we will need to give him some service. I just hope to see a striker that stays in the box looking for scraps, I'm fed up with hard working strikers that want to come out wide looking for the ball, stay where you are big man !!

Drew Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any player who has rag-dolled jim Goodwin must have a bit about him. I'm also glad that Teale has been able to make a signing - seems only fair regardless of whether we think he is the right man for the gig going forward. Welcome to the best (only going through a temporary crisis) club in the world, Yoann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope to see a striker that stays in the box looking for scraps, I'm fed up with hard working strikers that want to come out wide looking for the ball, stay where you are big man !! Due to the lack of service we normally provide our strikers might be the reason why they do most of their work outside the box without that workrate we normally tag them as lazy. Strikers should only be judge with the amount chance we provide them with just hope we do that on Sat and the big man can put one away. Good luck and welcome onboard Yoann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The assessment of a County fan who posts on P&B (and seems to have his head screwed on, though its all relative over there): "Strong, tall, fast, skillful. Great at pressing defenders when he wants. For most of the five months he played last season, I thought he was going to be the centre forward County had always wanted. But he's also moody, inconsistent, prone to going AWOL (both during games and literally). One moment he looks terrific, the next he tries a flick that needlessly gives the ball away when a simple 10 yard pass was on. He's brushed off Jim Goodwin a couple of times leading to goals. He wins a lot in the air, even when playing at his worst. He's pretty terrible at finishing 1v1 with the goalkeeper. I can think of four such chances he's wasted this season off the top of my head. He'll do well at the start while the attention is on him, which makes me fearful of Saturday" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 One thing we do know is that this guy has featured and scored (albeit a limited number) at this level. I'm willing to give him a chance, as I reckon we all should be. As others have indicated, he really can't be any worse than what we have/have had in recent months. Even someone who provides a bit of presence up top will be preferable to McLean trying to pick at scraps while subject to the attention of three defenders. If he can drag players out of position and proves to be a bit of a handful as anticipated, then he'll bring something to the squad during the run-in. Also worth bearing in mind that this is a short term deal and he should be looking to put himself in the shop window to a degree so will hopefully apply himself to the job in hand.

DougJamie Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Great signing, convinced he never fit with County, its Dingwall after all. Its not great place, I can see a great partnership link. Now if we just had Wylde on the planet we might have a few options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 If he turns out to be worse than Ball and Marwood have been so far, he should probably give up football. Good luck Yoann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Definitely an improvement on what we have, so a welcomed signing. Hopefully finds a decent level of consistency and, when in the mood, can be a handful for most SPL defences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Tedium. it was for the Rc fans . stand side linesman flagged him off continuously and it was him touching the ball in an offside position which caused a goal for them to chalked off !
