MICMAC Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Mitchell away on loan, does anybody else feel another experienced Centre Forward signing coming. As for us only allocating the Cliftonville supporters the corner section of the TH stand could be a mistake. As I've said before on here, Celtic have a huge affiliation with them and Celtic aren't playing next weekend because of the international games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hopefully Mitchell bangs in a shit tonne of goals along the road and it makes sense to get him game time. That said I think he offers something that none of the others (apart from Smith) has and that's speed which is a great thing to have especially from the bench. I also doubt Gullan will last mote than 10 games before he's out again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Unless another striker comes in that’s a dreadful decision for me. I’m sure I heard / read correctly that Mitchell is the quickest player for us, has looked sharp in minimal game time and for me looks like a really good prospect. A short loan to a league 1 club possibly but a season at EF wouldn’t have been my choice. I do understand he needs to be playing and he’ll have been badgering IM for more game time with his late equaliser at Partick. EF should be buzzing with this at their current level and I’m sure he’ll bang them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a load of **** are heading through, I'd stick them right behind the pillars in the main stand with restricted views. Give them a taste of their own medicine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Think it's a bit of a strange one, I certainly wouldn't be hanging my hat on Gullan staying fit all season, and Mitchell has looked impressive whenever he has played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would gladly have kept Mitchell in squad but if he's asking for game time, as I hope he is, then I can understand it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose even if Gullan isn't available, Smith, Ross and Vaughan are other options for up top to some degree or another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton isn’t up to speed either so I don’t understand it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played on loan generally wide, using his speed to chase balls lumped forward, but can play as striker too…just very little experience there. However, in the video, he has the positional sense to stay back and open, resulting in a lovely little goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Murray said a few weeks ago he was looking to bring in a full back, midfielder and a striker. Since then we have signed Byrne so would imagine imagine Mitchell going on loan suggests Murray is still confident of adding another striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) With Hamilton, Gullan and Smith all available and us now seeming to settle back in to 4-2-3-1 I can’t see us making moves for another striker. Don’t get this “lack of options” shtick at all. Mitchell needs games and he wouldn’t be getting anything more than 10mins here and there with us.

It's not lack of options so much as it's lack of similar options. Smith and Ross can both give you the fast, long in behind the full back type play. We've got different versions of No 10s in Vaughan, Stanton and Easton, need someone to cut in from out wide? Connolly and Gullan. Also not forgetting Mullin, Ross and Connolly for providing deliveries from out wide. It's really the hold up play, lead the line type that we've only got Hamilton for. Would be greedy at this point to start demanding another player of his quality in that role and I dare say we could find some adaptation to get round it if he's out but that's your single point of failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair enough, as Mitchell hasn’t shown that hold up skill set yet. Wonder what Connell is doing…just kidding. The people would seem to be a loan is unlikely because we can’t really offer much in the way of playing time to develop a hold up type striker unless/until Hamilton pulls up. Any player of that type that would be loaned from a Premiership side would be near a finished article to be sent to the Championship and they’d want him playing, so perhaps our best bet is a loan from England or a player from the antipodes (or Eastern Europe…know any Polish strikers, Big Kev?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a loan player from England be expected to accept less game time than one from Scotland ?
