Got a feeling he will be moving on shortly but hopefully we will get good money when he does. What do you think of Jack Ross now do you think you called it wrong let's be honest we all have at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful that big Stewart can develop, still young enough to improve. From what I have seen so far I'd have Ross Stewart in the team ahead of Mullen. I haven't seen anything in Mullen to suggest he is that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything in Mullen to suggest he is that good. Got to admit Mullen hasn't done anything of note thus far, but he's got plenty of time to change opinions. Looks bereft of confidence recently - a goal could make the world of difference to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything in Mullen to suggest he is that good. To be fair to Mullen, he has generally been used when we are seeing out a game and not at our most attacking. The one game he did start against Morton, I thought he did well and was surprised when an under par Reilly was brought on. Having said that, I would like to see him make more of an attacking contribution to the team. Maybe if he gets his first goal, he could kick on from there.

Doesn't mean he couldn't do a job with another side in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think Mullen was always likely to be subject to a significant degree of scrutiny and early judgement given the circumstances surrounding his arrival at the club. He doesn't have the easiest task in the world - finding his place and making an impact in a team that is performing so well and consistently. I suspect Hippolyte will be in a similar position. Particularly given the strength of our attacking line. I'm more than happy to cut him (and Myles) some slack and be patient. We have the luxury of being able to do that just now. Sadly, I'm not too confident that everyone will share that position, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise you'd made the definitive assessment either. Just stating my suspicion that I don't think anyone can judge based on the fact that he didn't get much game time over the course of the season due to the form of Cammy Smith!

No, you stated you weren't sure how I could judge him. This implies that I'd judged him. [emoji108] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than happy to give them time, and anyone else in a similar position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desnold Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 It all comes back to the plan B situation. If the team is under siege (like we have been in the latter stages in a few games) a punt to a big striker to hold the ball up is a good way to relieve pressure. In that respect Sutton is our only option now but I feel Stewart could offer that role also. Back to topic and well done to Jack who has improved significantly over the course of the season.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Some players take longer to settle than others Mullen has only one start the last thing needed is fans on his back. Livingstone fans were gutted when he left , Jack Ross also rates him saying he is a player fans will take too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
