He's also only 19, at his rate of improvement he'll be the next Scotland international from the St Mirren youth academy. Improved leaps and bounds this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhahon, whilst his performance was not great, still had a far better game on Saturday than JDH. There's no point in sugar-coating it, JDH has been playing rotten since well before his injury at Aberdeen. Like most others, I thought at the start of his time with us he was excellent but he's retreated deeper and deeper and now is basically a guy who hangs about in front of the back 4 and makes 5 yard sideways passes all day. What is he actually contributing to the team that makes him so important to our plans? He doesn't score goals, he doesn't provide assists, he doesn't create chances and isn't particularly strong in the tackle. We are told he has a dazzling array of passing but we've not seen that for the last 3 months or so since the early days of him being here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe homesick, or worrying about his future, whatever! a good player when his mind is on the job, there is probably better to be had for the kind of salary he might expect from us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His new contract has been on offer for a few weeks and there hasn't been any announcement. Just saw this the first part of my subsequent post was sarcastic, but i realise that may not have been clear. If they are contracted, fit and on their game then play them till the last day. The club can't afford to offer short-term contracts and then not play those who knock back an extension half-way through. Both parties knew what they were getting into and both should do their best to get full value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point about dropping JDH is not just because he hasn’t signed a contract. It’s a combination of that and being of the opinion that he’s not much kop, or certainly no better than any other midfielder. You probably knew that, but I wouldn’t want to spoil your opportunity to make a silly, pointless jibe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Doyle-Hayes has been playing the role that he's been asked to fairly competently and deserves a place in the team, as he's by far our best option in that position, even if he hasn't hit the form that he displayed before his injury. So no, it wasn't a pointless jibe. Simply a statement, based on a different opinion than yours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it isn’t even remotely close. If you disagree that’s fine, but your post was still silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no it wasn't remotely silly. And I said that my view on the dropping of JDH was never solely because he refused to sign a contract. It was to do with both that and the fact that he’s not much kop. So why would you link that to Fraser being dropped when he has been excellent. I have never suggested cutting off our nose to spite our face. By dropping JDH we’d be giving someone who is committed to the club an opportunity. If I thought JDH was as important to the team as Fraser, I wouldn’t be suggesting dropping him. So to answer your question, the comparison between JDH and Fraser has EVERYTHING to do with the point in question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosport Buddie Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Another abysmal/anonymous performance. Another "reasonable" player that's had his head turned by an agent in search of a bigger fee.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I don’t think the boy has had his head turned or issn’t trying. I just don’t think he’s that good. I think we’ve been guilty of bigging him up too much on the back of a couple of decent performances. I have zero qualms about him leaving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
