Salvo Montalbano Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Fair fucks, that is a good signing for you boys. Looking forward to a Fife Shootout at the top of the Championship this season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 38 games last season, 4 goals. Seems the sort of 'striker' we'd sign right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely smashed apart all comers in the Scottish Championship playing for us. Plus of those 38 games, how many were starts? He's an absolutely fantastic player, and in his second loan to us, he was noticeably improved as an all rounder. Give him service, and he will fire you to the playoffs at the absolute least. I'm gutted you've signed him. He's a brilliant player, don't ruin him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Twitter Hartlepool fans are giving him good luck, and they think he has loads of potential. A think with being at a bottom end team in english league 2 his feeding wasn’t great, but with rovers a championship team aiming for top 5, and am soz to say English conference level he will have better freedom to do his thing and be 3 steps ahead of championship defenders. In a nutshell Hartlepool fans are optimistic for him and no saying thank f**k, he’s away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Anyone know if JH hasa clause allowing him to move if we don't get promoted? Asking for a P***s fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Livi got a sell-on clause, it wouldn’t make sense… 35 minutes ago, Ro Sham Bo said: 38 games last season, 4 goals. Seems the sort of 'striker' we'd sign right enough. And that’s English League Two…go back a year to Scottish Championship… 7 goals and 3 assists in 1,287 minutes…or a goal every 2 games and an assist every 5 games …go back another year, again the Scottish Championship… 8 goals in 1,190 minutes…or a little over a goal every 2 games ….go back another year, again in the Scottish Championship… 4 goals and 1 assist in 1,076 minutes…or a goal every 3 games Looks pretty decent for us. We could be cynical and suggest that means the “village idiots” see us in the Championship for at least two more years, since he didn’t succeed at Livi, but regardless, he’s a solid talent at our current level, and a “target man” by all definitions. I’m kinda hoping the new management team embrace the “village idiot” idea…they could have a lot of fun with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one area they are miles ahead of Scottish Championship clubs though is their physical size. Almost all of them looked massive. Maybe Gordon Strachan was right after all... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Spoiler Great in terms of goalscoring/aerial ability in the past at this level. Struggled a bit more for goals at Hartlepool. Maybe not the best in possession and likely why he struggled to ever make the grade at Livi? They seem to prefer a striker who can link play, which doesn't seem to be Hamiltons style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) That's as good a striker as we can realistically expect to sign. Great stuff. Wee bit nervous about a 3 year deal given recent experiences, but it's a show of intent. Edited May 29, 2023 by CALDERON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Fantastic signing and shows me that this board mean business. Most Championship sides will be disappointed we have pulled of this signing. His presence alone upfront should greatly assist the freedom that Vaughan or Gullan need. If we can just ensure we get good balls in from either flank. So looking forward to our next new signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stats are interesting, because the 2022 version of Jack Hamilton looks worse, but to the naked eye, he looked much better second time around. He was bigger, stronger, more involved with the play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
