Michael W Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I wouldn't have kept him for the season, personally, but unless there is another player lined up this doesn't make much sense. We aren't blessed for cover and there will be the inevitable injuries which will trouble us. Sad to see him go - a dedicated player and that header against Hibs will always be remembered fondly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if we don’t sign a winger in the next day. I doubt we’d have let him go otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Sad to see him go (again). Hopefully means we'll be getting someone in on loan soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, on the other hand you could say that on most weeks - if you assumed the same starting eleven as last week - to have Ugwu, Vaughan and Smith on the bench, as well as Spencer who while not strictly an attacking player could be used to allow Tait to play further forward if required. That feels like a good number of options since Vaughan could play in a forward two or behind a number 9 in either the number 10 or cutting inside from the wing. Assuming he stays fit. I suppose the fact that Tait seemed to be preferred to play alongside Duku against Hearts instead of Anderson who surely was the more natural second striker may have made his mind up for him...

I suspect this might well be the case. I think when Vaughan was first starting with Grant Murray, he was more of an attacking midfielder who was then converted into a forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one of those guys that fans will always love for his sheer effort. Helped that he scored some absolute belters in his time. 10 minutes ago, renton said: I dunno, on the other hand you could say that on most weeks - if you assumed the same starting eleven as last week - to have Ugwu, Vaughan and Smith on the bench, as well as Spencer who while not strictly an attacking player could be used to allow Tait to play further forward if required.

Agree with both these posts. It's a bit strange given that he only recently signed a new deal but if we are going to be mainly playing with the one up front with 3 in behind then I think he'd have been restricted to 10 minute cameos at best. Good luck to him, just a shame he's ended up at that mob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Twice he’s gone and twice we haven’t been able to say goodbye. We’ve had some arseholes over the years but I’m sure Grantie will always be remembered fondly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is modern-day Anderson not more the Duku than the Tait in that equation? It was in the final minutes, but that's the role he went into when he came on against Arbroath. I don't know enough about Ugwu or Mahady to say how they'll fit in, but we don't really have an alternative "big man". If we are going to replace Anderson, and I wouldn't say that's a given, I'd expect another striker rather than another attacking midfielder/winger.

If we are going to replace Anderson, and I wouldn't say that's a given, I'd expect another striker rather than another attacking midfielder/winger. I guess my point was that when the decision was made to play two forwards we seemed to think Tait would be more use than Anderson. And yeah, we haven't seen enough of Ugwu, but at 6'1 he's probably destined to rotate with Duku in that number 9 position at the very least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildrover Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 All the best to Grant, one of my favourite players, thought he still could do a job albeit as a squad player, remember his goal at wick on there "unique" pitch and that goal against Hibs, also a thoroughly nice bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
