He offers little bar winning a few fouls and occasionally breaking up an attack. Not a bad lad but not in the same league as some of our other graduates who we lost ( for v little) . Power can be a little to keen on keeping the e ball but in general he offers much more than Ethan. You only have to look at Jims starting 11 each week and I’d say he agrees with me on this one I would argue the opposite was true!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss_Saint Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Ethan is a good player and is getting better each year, some forget he is only 20 and still learning but I certainly hope we keep him for a good few years yet as he will form a good midfield anchor allowing the likes of Ronan, Kiltie etc (or whomever comes in in those roles) to do their thing. He does get over criticised when he makes mistakes which I think makes him more nervous, Power makes mistakes but shrugs them off and gets stuck back in, Ethan tends to shrink back into himself when he makes one but he will learn I am sure with the coaches input.

billyg Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I'm sure Ethan will turn out a big player for us , but he isn't at the moment , hence the signings of Power and Gogic. His head seems to be in the clouds half the time , concentration seems to be a problem. Against Aberdeen he came on late for Ronan and the first thing he did was attempt a dummy in the midfield area , the ball going to an Aberdeen player who started an attack. JG was giving him pelters about it after that attack broke down . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linwood buddie Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I’m not too convinced by Ethan , like said before I think it’s his concentration and reading of the game that he’s not too great with but hope he sorts it and goes on to have a good career with us.

Ethan Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I was hoping Ethan would have kicked on but he just isn't reaching the heights of players such as McLean or McGinn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk When you're brought on to shore up the defence you must show high levels of energy and a desire to track back. Erhahon showed neither on Saturday and deserved a bollocking from the manager. He's a talented player, but he needs to start showing so much more desire to succeed as a professional football player and not live off past accolades.

Surely the penny will drop with him and not end up sent packing like McPherson and McAllister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maboza Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Erhahon has the attributes to be a very decent calibre midfielder with a bit of fine tuning. Let’s hope we get to see him improve for us and then get a transfer that benefits both parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two completely different types of player. Erhahon is much better at retaining possession than Power is. Shaughnessy, Alnwick, Tait, Power provide plenty of experience in the squad. I don't honestly see where Flynn fits in next season. There's no point in keeping him around for sentimentality. Think Flynn deserves more game time. Thought he was the player that turned the game against Motherwell last week. Shit game and we did not deserve the win in the end but anything +ve in the 2nd half happened when he came on.

W6er Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 Ethan and Power about the same, IMHO. Both are good enough to be in the squad, but I wouldn't be too concerned if we lost them, either. Power has a presence on the field and is not shy about getting stuck in, but sometimes his performances can be woeful (Dundee Utd?!). Ethan stands out in my mind for scoring that absolute screamer against Aberdeen, IIRC, but generally is very average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo_smfc Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ethan has a year left on his contract. He is the type of player who we should be tying down on an extension and work on his weaknesses as he has the makings of a very good player. I do get the feeling though that if he's not in the team he's probably making negative noise about it. I have no doubt if it wasn't for covid lockdown, he would have most likely have signed for Barnsley, before we signed him on an extension. There is certainly a player in there. He is very different with his type of role, to that of academy players from the past that have went on to play at a higher level. I thought last season he was one of our better players, though had a bit of a dip in form at the turn of the year last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I was thinking after the game yesterday on players put of contract end of this season:* Alnwick* Tanser* Power* Gogic (loan end)* Ronan (loan end) * Jones (loan end)* Flynn* Millar* McCarthy Alnwick will get a gig somewhere that pays more. He won't still be about. Tanser I heard it read he has a year option, but not sure if it's player or team that has the option. What stood out to me was the fact that the majority of our starting midfield is away. Gogic looking to head home, Jones too rich for us, Goodwin also said need 500k to get Ronan. Would we offer the likes of power and Flynn year extensions? Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbriansaint72 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I also think that Robinson has got his eye on a few players to bring in already. There is going to be a bit of a shake up in the national league next season where the salary cap is going to be applied. So the likes of Wrexham, etc who have attracted much higher standard of player because they can more than compete on wages with higher placed teams will come unstuck. National league standard now is probably on a par with higher end lg2/lower end lg1 to be fair. Much better standard than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally see Alnwick at Aberdeen as Lewis is shite. I'd Maybe offer Power and Flynn year extensions, but it will be an interesting summer with the whole of our starting line up midfield mostly going. I'd ideally look to get wide players in and get Kiltie back in the middle behind the striker as he is much better there.

Tender too. The others will be off. Flynn is also good to have as long as he doesn’t have to play too many minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
