proudtobeabuddy Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Why are their no decent strikers at the club? What are the youth coaches looking at when they select a player to join the club? Apart from Stephen Thompson it's been years since we've had anyone decent who can stick the ball in the net. FFS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sutton was ok but if you remember we didn't even play him all the time, he was a sub at the famous 3-2 comeback although he did score a goal. Goncalves was never ours. Are you a Motherwell supporter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goncalves was never ours. Fuxake, we must need to go back to Hampden & play an extra 30 mins of extra time then. Cup final was actually 2-2!!

santaponsasaint Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 He was very slow, Yardley and Lavety are the last decent pairing we had. Yeah, Yardley and Lavety were lightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 He was very slow, Yardley and Lavety are the last decent pairing we had. He could be slower than a snail as long as he bags goals who cares. Higdon was a proven goal scorer as was Sutton. Good strikers for us. Eddie Gallagher was a "journey man" when we signed him but by god he could sniff out a chance in the box. If he scores goals what's nit to like ???

They were ok but Yardley and Lavety were better. My initial point was why can't we find a decent striker, Thompson is almost or already finished.

pass pass pass Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Aye, I remember the days when new posters would begin life with a 'long time lurker but never posted before' type of introduction. Ah, the good old days. Would you rather it was just kept a wee club for the special few posters then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original point was about there being a lack of strikers and now you say that Thommo is also finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original point was about there being a lack of strikers and now you say that Thommo is also finished? I'm not sticking up for any one here, but going by last season, he is. He might have another season at championship level in him but if his injury continues like last season then we'll struggle to get that from him. We do need to get strikers in and I suppose that was why we signed five strikers last season. Problem being all of them were crap. We are not in a position to sign "proven" strikers and will have to take a punt on players. Neither Higdon or Sutton were proven strikers before they came to us. We also seem reluctant to give our young strikers a run out. Dorrens, Smith and now Mitchell all seem to have left because they were not getting enough game time (at least in part).

TediousTom Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Goodness me, goodness me indeed. If this chap is indeed a new forum member then may I point out just how impolite you all appear to be to our new forum friend. If this chap is an alias (an existing forum member using another online identity) then what is the big deal? He has not urinated on your chips, shat in your pantry or any other act deserving of such a shunning. Anyway to contribute to the conversation at hand may I add the following. The OP may have a valid point here, perhaps the wording could have been better but that is subjective. When did our youth sysytem last produce a striker who went on to have any success in the first team? I can think of Thomas Reilly who had very limited success and has now dropped back to midfield where he has shown (in my opinion) real potential. I recall Jon McShane. A big tall lad whom I had high hopes for. He dissapeared to the lower leagues. Other than the odd bit part appearance when was the last product of our youth system to break through and hold down the role of first team striker? I am struggling fellow forum user's, struggling indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
