RostokMcSpoons Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Surely Louis will get a run-out ... I am envious of anyone there to see him get back on the Fir Park pitch today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 That's a very strong team for the reserves...you would expect a few goals and a solid win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil86 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Snodgrass set to sign for hearts. Given how desperate Hearts for players, and good ones at that, they will be offering FAR more than we ever could, plus the lure of European football, no brainer for him really.

Can't say I'm really that surprised/disappointed with that. We've been waiting ages for a response indicating he wasn't exactly blown away with the idea of coming which seems to go against Hammell's chat about only wanting players that want to be here which he's reiterated on several occasions. Similarly, our midfield has looked good in the last few games which, combined with our clear emphasis on making better use of the academy players, has brought me to the conclusion that we don't need Snodgrass and can save the money in case business is needed in January and/or our lecky bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips455 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I would have went to the game today.... but I'm currently working. Shame to as it will most likely be Moults first appearance since returning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I think he would have been a decent signing, but it was clear when it got to "the ball is in his court" stage that he was not signing. I'm sure there have been other speculative offers over the years that just weren't leaked. Who are the announce people going to ask us to announce now?Update: we don't need him, Aarons just set up SOD with a rabona cross to score in a reserve game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I guess Hearts gave him the £20,000 sign on bonus then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Thoughts on Max Johnston? Supposedly linked with a loan move to us. Best position, strengths and weaknesses would be welcome. Appreciate he's not featured much at all in the 1st team for the Well and hence reviews might be better coming from Doonhamers as he was there on loan last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 4 hours ago, Swello said: I think the reserve league is a fucking mess and seemed to brought back on some weird (totally misplaced) nostalgia about the old reserve league - but I think it becomes more important for us now that we have a manager that is going to play young players for longer term strategic reasons (one club stuff) not just as occasional token bench warmers. If we use it as a defacto U-19's team - it could actually be of some benefit... I dont know enough about whats happening with the reserve league to comment on how it has been set up. However, I definitely think its beneficial for us to be able to get minutes for our fringe players so that they are able to make an impact when they get their opportunity. SOD, Bevis, Cornelius, Maguire, McKinstry, Aarons Shields and Moult will all have big parts to play in our season going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how well he did at QoS, but on the few occasions he got game time for us he never looked out of place. From memory, appeared quite pacey. A lot of our support expected him to be back up to SOD this year, but then GA went out and signed Paul McGinn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly rated within the club but even more so by the twitter warriors, who will undoubtedly be fuming when he goes out on loan. more seriously, he has looked steady enough in his limited game time, one of which was a 3-0 drubbing off st Johnstone in which we were missing 17 bodies if I recall, and one was also a friendly against thistle. defensively sound, wasn't a huge threat going forward I don't think. Was also used further up the park last season by QOTS, who's supporters will probably be able to give you a much fairer assesment than we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Ross Graham from Dundee United a couple of years ago and was brilliant for us. I wonder if Max can play centre back. We have Shay Logan, pantomime villain I know, at RB currently. Pushing on a bit in years but generally capable enough for our level. Wouldn't think we'd take in Max for him to sit on the bench and only be cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 We shouldn't be giving Cove anyone after they kept saving a 49 year old James McFadden's shots in that cup game years back. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RostokMcSpoons Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Report up on the site about the reserves' game (4-0 win) Linky Quote The crowd very nearly got to witness Moult scoring on his return to the Fir Park turf as he raced through on goal but Heraghty made a good block at his feet.

Kapowzer Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Max Johnson - Got a lovely dug, as does Liam Kelly, but it doesn’t get told repeatedly that Donald Trump won the 2020 election while out walkies. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Similar to Steven Davis who we were linked with early on - I would have been delighted if Snodgrass had signed on - but less stressed about it as the team/squad are in better shape than most were expecting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
