crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 11 hours ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Agree with this. Scary how Polworth has followed the exact same trajectory as Vigurs. First season played well, a bit slow and lazy but his creativity made it a decent trade off. Second season do absolutely nothing and toys out the pram by the end of the it all. I think the next time we sign a creative midfielder from the highlands, not renowned for his work-rate or pace, we should definitely remember to cash our chips in after their first season. I reckon a good bit of Polworth's attitude issues this season stem from Turnbull being played ahead of him in August. Looking where both of them are now you'd think he couldn't have an argument, but he strikes me as the type that still would. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looking forward to being able to pick up a couple of samosas and maybe an aloo tikki at half time. Maybe with a chai in the winter months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a BBC Scotland documentary on our fan ownership model and will give you some background stories on how and why it came into existence and plenty of further info...if you can understand the accents! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman Lamie Bevis Polworth Hastie White Long Grimmy And probably others. I think Lamie, Bevis and Long have at least had some good games and improved. Grimmy and White haven’t started enough. So it’s between Chapman, Polworth and Hastie. But it’s got to be Chapman for that Accies performance alone. Without looking into the figures, I would say Jordan White Started and featured in much more games than Hastie has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there's only 15 minutes in it. White played 530 minutes for us across 20 games (2 starts) Hastie has played 515 minutes across 15 games (5 starts) Seems like we always looked for an impact from White but if we didn't Hastie to start, he wasn't required much at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Alexander confirming Campbell is away. Not exactly a surprise and he probably needs to move on for his own development to be fair to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Genuinely interested to see where Campbell ends up. It's no secret that he's dependable rather than spectacular and I've always had my reservations as to whether he has the technical ability to make the step up.Time will tell I suppose but best of luck to him. Of all the recent academy players he's probably the one we've got the most out of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marinello Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The wee man regardless of the few question marks over his all round play has been a model professional and contributed greatly to MFC. I'm sure I speak for many in wishing him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ill Ray Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 He’s a very reliable player and the type of midfielder you want in a team. He won’t struggle to find higher wages and all the best to him that’s what it’s all about for a player tbh. Fingers crossed we can get another dependable centre mid in the team because we’re gonna lose a bit of determination in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I think it was @thisGRAEME who said it a few weeks back in that he'll likely have a decent career down south without ever doing anything spectacular. As a sentimental b*****d I'd be giving him the armband for the last 2 games. Edited May 11, 2021 by well fan for life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've got a funny feeling that Campbell will do well in a "better" team - when he's not expected to carry the whole midfield on a regular basis. I certainly think he'll be comfortable in the Championship down south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
