Reilly’s eye for goal with May’s trickery and Directness Why are we talking about GR in the same sentence as Stevie May? Gavin Reilly worked for us in the championship because that was the level where he was most effective. He wasn't really given a chance at Hearts to prove he could do it in the top league, but he hasn't exactly shone at Bristol Rovers with a goal every 4 games. He was treated fairly shabbily by AS, but maybe he also realised that he might struggle in the premiership. SM has managed at least one or maybe two good seasons in the Premiership, and his age is still in his favour to re-find that touch, so if he wanted a challenge, then the Buddies is the place to try it out!

I get your reasoning, but the facts are Reilly is scoring at a better overall standard than the premiership, whilst May is a non scoring bit part in the overall lower end, and failed to do the business in the league Reilly is now in. despite what May has achieved in the past, is he the best option Gus can find to give us a genuine goal soring threat? Surely no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still makes it look like he's been on the slide for a few seasons now. Stevie May scored 7 goals in the English Championship in 25 starts in season 14/15. Not that bad a record at a high level. His 2 seasons at Preston more or less written off by a knee ligament injury. At Aberdeen he's not really been played in his best position, through the middle, and has therefore failed to score goals. However, Greg Stewart has also failed to do the business in 2 separate spells with Aberdeen as a result of being played out of position. Stevie May scored 20 league goals in his last season in our league while playing in his best position. He's only 26. Therefore, IMO he has potential. That knee ligament injury may have put paid to him being able to recapture that form however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely no? I also get your reasoning, the English League 1 is probably overall a better quality than the Scottish Premier level if you separate Rangers and Celtic from the mix. Reilly was treated fairly harshly by the club and I say the Club as opposed to AS, as the Board had obviously backed the principle of a new contract on the table, then withdrew it. Football is a harsh game in many respects. On the fringes of the big time, it can be painfully short, poorly advised and non-advantageous for the players to learn or have a second profession for the moment that they are no longer flavour of the month. I would never have advised a son of mine to pursue the dream, even if he had the skill set. Anyway, back on track, SM could do us a job, but only if he gets his confidence back and therein lies the gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absurd to discuss if May is good enough for St Mirren. Will be a solid signing wherever he goes, even if he doesn’t hit the heights of his early days.

Seaside Nipper Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 One thing is certain if May turns up at an SPL team and plays against us, he's a shoe in certainty to score, even if he hits but one goal in the season ( pretty good for him of late ), it'll be in off his arse against us.

Signed to score goals but doesn't so how is that beneficial to anybody who signs a non-scoring striker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
