Guest Axle Grease Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Nicky Clark was a success with us. He's a more than competent striker and among our best in recent times. He was subjected to some sh*te at times by an element of our support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Smith was great in a few games but then showed little to nothing for us after. Can see arguments for perhaps giving him more time/opportunities as he was still young but can also see that perhaps he wasn't going to cut it anyway. I know he plays in the Premiership now and hope he does well, but think that's a bit mental. Anyway, a problem with youth development is that changing managers can often mean they don't like certain players and so won't play them. If Allan Johnston was punted sooner then perhaps Smith would have gotten mote game time for example. Maybe not of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Morrison wasn't awful, he also wasn't upto being a championship centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Star-Par Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Morrison was horrific against United and never recovered from that but Smith was a different scenario. There is no issue with dropping a player for another but he was never given another chance after that. That is a complete bombing and awful man management. Can't have done the boys heed any good after the start he had made to the season to then find himself totally out of the picture through no fault of his own as his performances didn't drop in the period he was getting starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Same with Gill when he got bombed out in December in favour of Scully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Gill was absolutely gubbins last season tbf. Would anyone be complaining about these players if they weren't youth products? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Gill looked nervous AF. Also needs to quickly learn how to set up a wall for a free kick, those against Utd away and Thistle at home were grim to give away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Smith played 19 games for us across all competitions in 17/18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Week before he was arguably MOTM at Parkhead. Lewis Martin by far had the best performance that day. We didn’t have any performances under 9/10 right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Kozma Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Lewis Martin by far had the best performance that day. We didn’t have any performances under 9/10 right enough.Martin was immense that day. The whole team clearly raised their game massively that day due to the occasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh but for me, Smith hasn't done enough with the opportunities afforded him. Pars, Alloa, Arbroath (Airdrie maybe aside) he's had the ground to prove himself on a development progression perspective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hopefully Ross' interview alleviates concerns. I think it's a good interview and I'm glad he's continuing as chairman https://youtu.be/WRb_crzhna8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone be complaining about these players if they weren't youth products? Aye, folk are desperate for one of our own to make it they ignore their flaws. Williamson is the perfect example. Hyped like f**k and as soon as he goes to another club they see right through his flaws. The fact that apart from Martin who is still here the only ones who have achieved anything are smith and millen getting very small amounts of game time in the premiership. Lack of game time at 19/20 isn’t where our youth system is failing. 18 minutes ago, 101 said: Hopefully Ross' interview alleviates concerns.

Chubbychops Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Ross seems 100% convinced by this. Never seen him so happy. He's never come across as a guy who gets carried away and full of hyperbole but hear him say that he's ''had to pinch himself'' sounds very encouraging.
