Sonny Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 To be fair we may be able to sign Cammy Bell when Dundee Utd go to the wall http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15295728.Auditors_warn_of__material_uncertainty__over_Dundee_United_as_a__going_concern_/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Saint Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hopefully not St Mirren, better keepers around Pretty harsh. A good talented young keeper that did very well for us and played a big part in our survival. At the very least he has done enough to deserve better than this type of comment.

foxbar_bud Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I would take Billy back in a second.There's not been one outstanding keeper in this league. Hibs keeper looked decent but not one other goalie stood out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardBuddie Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hopefully not St Mirren, better keepers around Bit harsh that, I thought the boy did ok for us, yes some mistakes, but he is a young boy that was thrown into a really pressurised situation from the off and I'm sure he'll be all the better for that 4 months he had with us!!

Not suggesting well sign him mind... Billy (& his defence) has conceded 27 Goals since joining us which includes the 4 v Septic. Cammy Bell (and his pals) at the other end of the table has conceded 33 ETA, United of course have played three more play off games (3 goals )not including tonight but we had one more scot cup game v `tic (4 goals) Edited May 19, 2017 by Callum Gilhooley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell is a decent keeper but prone to the odd howler, didn't cover himself in glory for mallans goal in our 3-2 win, same for McKees goal in 1st play off leg. Not to forget his howler for rangers in the playoffBet he's also on a fair wedgeFor the market we are in, we won't get a perfect keeper, for me, Billy is a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a young keeper gelling with a new team its not too shabby. As ive said previously he is good but young and has his faults but i wouldnt be upset if he was first choice next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly correct but as i pointed out in previous post . Young keeper coming in to a new team with disruption to his defence shortly after his arrival, still compares favourably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he speaks highly of Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I would take Billy back in a second.There's not been one outstanding keeper in this league. Hibs keeper looked decent but not one other goalie stood out I liked the Dumbarton keeper Alan Martin. He swept up at their player of the year awards and rightly so.Would like to see us go for him and get Billy in as back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's, erm ... you know what, seeing as you brought it up, I'll let you do the list of available, better keepers within our budget. On you go ... Joe Hart...................oh, damn budget point, feck it. Within our budget, now we're rich from our recent windfall, surely all junior goalkeepers?

insaintee Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'd be happy with Billy, He's not particularly commanding, but he is quick of his line and brave. Very good at one to ones. I expect him to get better and would he happy for him to get better at St Mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Overall, on the 2 games I seen him live and another few on the telly, he's ok. Yeah he's young but I doubt that will matter if we get creamed in a few games next season. Can he get better...............possibly. I happen to believe a good keeper is worth quite a few points over the season, if we are to be in the mix for promotion I'm unsure he is, at this stage, this type we need.
