Brandon Mason

[Mid Calder Saint]

Press reports indicate we are trying to bring in 23 year old left back Brandon Mason from Coventry on loan.

[Hendo]

I thought I recognised his name - was on loan at Dundee United, played one game against Falkirk where they got scudded 6-1 and it looked like he'd never played the game before. However, he's since played 36 games for Coventry over 2 seasons, so can't judge him on one result.

Glad we are now getting defensive cover, if we get him and the centre half from Rangers just need a creative midfielder in. JR owes us one, come home Stevie!

Ross will do us no favours.

Wow.

Hope the club signed a get-well-soon card for the lad...

[Saint@Johnstone]

So we have signed two reserve players, neither of whom is likely to either play regularly or score a goal. My decision not to renew my season book seems more judicious by the day. Sorry to say this but cannot see the manager being in place for too much longer, and then we will be back to square one. Possibly in a lower league as well.

Probably the reason they had to take the offer from Hibs.

Wheesht, I don't think we have lost since he made that post [emoji38]

With the option of a recall in January, I hope that the left back/midfield of Coventry City are excelling at present.

We  tried to get LB Sam McCallum on loan from Norwich in the summer , he went to Coventry instead and has played every game.

Good. I hope Mason is enjoying himself. I think that's the biggest issue for loan players in the current climate: can't be easy being away from home for a long time while you can't socialise (even if he can't socialise in Coventry, either, I'd imagine it'd be tempting to conflate the two.)

I see the Fakes have lost McNamara , who played every week , as he has been recalled by Millwall. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mason recalled too.

They gave the fakes an other player called James Brown in return so i assume they don't rate Brown as highly as McNamara.

Brown has been offered to them , they are still to agree. Looking at his playing history , they might not want him !

Goodwin didn't look best pleased with his 2nd yellow tonight. Didn't look at him on his way off the park.

I would imagine that is just frustration from Jim but as a player who was partial to a second yellow card himself, I’m sure he will get over it  😛

Thought Mason looked poor against Hibs on Wednesday if I'm being honest. Sending off capped off a poor performance overall.

Thought he looked good in his first few games but for me he's shaded quite a bit since then. Can see why Coventry offloaded him on loan.

Wouldn't be overly fussed if Coventry recalled him. I don't think they will.

He was excellent against the blue bigots, which was a week before the Hibs game.

Aye he did a good defensive job on Tavenier but for me I just think he hasn't looked the player he did in his first few matches going forward. 

Not convinced by him. Thought he really struggled against Hibs and looked very average. Time will tell

Like all players, Brandon probably needs a run of games.

Yep I agree on that. I just have a gut feeling on him but may be all wrong. Not for the first time !

Mason has a very poor game against Killie. I’ve not been overly impressed other than the cup game against you know who, where he was man marking. But having been asked to play up and down then line on Saturday past, he just didn’t look great and wasn’t tight enough to his man on several occasions, including the goal. 
 

see how he gets on over the next few weeks, could turn out to be another Dummet who didn’t start well.
