Like last year his form tapers off at the end of the season Probably an age thing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his role should be a midfielder to come off the bench next season. He could definitely improve defensively but over the course of this season I can't remember many times the opposing winger got the best of him over the course of the whole game and given he's only 19(20 next month) I'm not surprised he's got things still to work on. I don't mind him in the middle of the park but he's very limited in there for me, I much prefer him at right back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he might get exposed a bit in the Championship which is no slight on him as he's been great playing outside of his natural position. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best compliment I could probably pay him. The only time that sticks in my mind where he was badly exposed was at QotS last week, but that match is naturally gonna be much more fresh in the memory than others. My only real concern about him at the back is that he isn't the quickest, but that's really about it. If you're gonna tightly mark your man, you'd better have the pace to catch up if they spin you. I'd be interested to see what he could offer in midfield, but he's not budging Hendo or Spencer, is he?

Blame Me Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 A (paraphrased) comment that has gone under the radar, seemingly, on a Falkirk Daft podcast from a few weeks ago was that Yeats is being coveted by a calibre of team we'd be surprised by. I took that to be one or both of the ugly sisters or even Liverpool at a stretch with their recent track record of scouting Scottish talent Stranger moves have happened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I said that you have disagreed with…. I said he ‘has’ done ok, I doubt he’d be plying his trade in the top leagues if he hadn’t. At no point did I say he played well for us during his tenure. An opinion perhaps, however I would say some basis to it. And to finish it off, you haven’t played for us, he did, & he scored for us. I would call that one a fact that you haven’t scored more goals than him. He didn't score a single goal in a competitive match for Falkirk. That's all that counts. He could've gone on to play 100 caps for Scotland once he left us but he was fecking dreadful for us and was a stinking signing by pressley. He was a diddy in a Falkirk top basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever roll he matures into he will have a decent career 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone was the club I heard but we could be playing them in the championship next season anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartA Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I’m happy with Oliver signing. He’s scored a fair few goals for us, link-up play is good, and he’s clearly liked in the dressing room. Stats don’t measure stuff like squad harmony. If there are still two contracts on the table, I guess excluding the loan players, then that’s what, an intent to retain 14 of the championship winning side? Have to say, I like the way McGlynn is going about his business. He’ll have the last month of the season then entire close season to make the final 6 or 7 signings, unlike many of our opponents. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that many Falkirk fans would be surprised to see a club the size of St Johnsone in for Yeats so I'd be a bit surprised if that's who Lewis was talking about on FD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn has a great engine is able to adapt to a new position quickly and is still a work in progress given his age. Would not be surprised if we saw him going down south -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeats and Ross would be my bet. I think Ross is out of contract at the end of May at Raith. I think the goalkeeping situation needs addressed in the summer I also think Mackie will be away with McGinn, Hogarth (possibly back up) Lawal, McKay, and Allan if he can negotiate a deal away. Shanley has probably the remaining games to convince he's worth the year option, but he's not really getting a run of starts so he might be surplus to requirements aswell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I think the squad's likely to be a bit bigger next year therefore I believe that McGlynn may well still be looking to add someone to challenge Nesbitt. I would imagine that Oliver's ability to cover different positions was uppermost in McGlynn's mind when the extension was offered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Yeats wouldn’t go to Perth imho. I doubt he’d want to maroon himself somewhere he couldn’t get a game either Finn will sign soon hopefully 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
