Soctty Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 Ignoring his goalscoring record for us his performances haven't been outstanding Performances have been fine in the main. Thought he looked sharp in the friendlies I seen, as sharp as you can be when the games are being played a half pace, with little intensity. Goals make a striker, and he'll have gained confidence from his double last week. Quote
Drew Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 If given the choice, I'd take Graham over Ryan. He still has a year on his contract at Hibs, though, and they have a few quid so might hold onto him as cover for injuries and suspensions. Loan deal a possibility, however. Quote

Why the hell would anyone "ignore the goalscoring record" when assessing a striker ???? Strikers are judged by their goal scoring record that's the harsh reality Quote

Would be cheaper as well, which is always a bonus. Quote

Spam_Valley Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Transfer news said: Ignoring his goalscoring record for us his performances haven't been outstanding Ally McCoist is one of the best goal scoring forwards Scotland has ever produced and i think you could count on one hand the amount of times he put in an outstanding performance. Still managed to stick away 300 odd goals for Rangers. Strikers are judged on scoring goals and not their work rate, especially if it's outside of the box. If the lad scores goals, i couldn't care if he sat on a deck chair in the 6 yard box for 90 minutes a game. He's impressed me in pre-season but as others have said he needs a partner up front to play off of. Edited August 3, 2017 by Spam_Valley Quote
DWBud Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 Ignoring his goalscoring record for us his performances haven't been outstanding Can you tell me the primary function of a striker? Kinda defeats the purpose if we were to ignore that... Quote
santaponsasaint Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 What a stupid post? The guy easily could have 4 goals converts 2...... What do u want? Not a stupid post. No way is Reilly good enough to play a lone striker role. he needs to play off a big striker. JR prefers 4.2.3.1 be tough for Reilly to play in that system Quote

He's going to prove a very good option in the days when we go two up top but lone forwards these days have so much more to do than just put the ball in the net. Quote

JR prefers 4.2.3.1 be tough for Reilly to play in that system I think he is good enough, but I agree to get the best out of him we should play 2 up top, or at least a Scotland style 4-4-1-1. All the attributes are there, he's intelligent, quick, 2 footed, better in the air than he should be for his height. For some reason, lots of people don't seem willing to give him a chance. Quote

And who ever said Reilly as lone, not me, we never played that way yet under Jack. Obviously you don't go to games to be able to see that Jack , since he got shot of Raes team,plays, high forward lines, which is why our defence gets caught out.... but also why we score lots of goals when it works... Game tomorrow if you can make it Quote
Swiss_Saint Posted August 5, 2017 Report Posted August 5, 2017 Yep as people said with a goal like the 3rd one and setting up the second Reilly really is not the answer Quote
