Bobby_F Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yip, I'll be going along, and looking forward to seeing a Fringe 11 all trying to fight their way in to the team for the game against ICT! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last top flight 30 something journeyman keeper was an utter disaster from day 1, he had a more impressive CV than Samson did. If you are talking about Mark Brown I'd argue the point about him having a more impressive CV than Samson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?Rangers, Celtic, Motherwell, Hibs, Killie amongst others. 2 Premier League winners medals and a League Cup medal. He might not have played a great deal outwith Inverness and Ross County but I'd say it's a more impressive CV than Samson.Either way, the point I was making was that an impressive CV means nothing really, as we found out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the point, and also conscious this is nothing much to do with St Mirren, but as you say he played little at most of those. I imagine Samson has far more top flight appearances than Brown. He has a Cup Winners medal from actually playing and he's been in Scotland squads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 You might not care, but if you gave me a choice between Samson and Brown as first choice keeper, I'd likely choose to kill myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact from what I can see it looks like Brown may have more top flight appearances. Samson spent some time fannying about at Ayr and the likes.Much of a muchness really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Transfermarkt the stats look like this: Craig Samson - 203 top tier games - 325 conceded - 43 clean sheets Mark Brown - 177 top tier games - 237 conceded - 50 clean sheets So aye, they are pretty similar. Although, statistically, Brown is better I guess I love P&B. A website where discussing whether Mark Brown is worse than Craig Samson is considered perfectly normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Moving away from the top trumps of shite goalkeepers, I see this lad O'Keefe is supposedly heading out on loan. Is he ready for the Championship or is he more likely to head for League 1? If he can play up front and out wide and is any way creative, we'll take him. Please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 19yo, a left winger, is a ginger (his nickname is "Jinky") and has pace like a greased whippet. ETA he'll probably be playing tonight for the U20s vs Kilmarnock if you want to see him in the flesh.

Has looked pretty good in the few times I have seen him - fast, attacks players and looks up for it unlike most of the other duds you signed from us. Would easily have O'Keefe over any of those other imposters. But as I said I have only seen him a couple of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, someone who is fast and attacks sounds ideal but unless Stevie Aitken calls me and asks me to do some scouting then I think I'll give the game a miss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very fit looking squad he has assembled. And O'Keefe fits the mould and has been promoted from the Development squad to the first team squad so Jack rates him which should be enough endorsement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Keefe is very promising and could be an ideal replacement for Morgan. Didn't Jack say his game and situational awareness is a bit lacking and needs development? I think he could cut it in Championship but L1 with a good side would be good for development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently utter powder puff in attack, I reckon someone with a bit of balls about them could walk into our starting 11 at the moment such are the options we have. Anyway, this is just me doing a hopeful scan of available players, I highly doubt we'll be in for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if he's considered ready to play for a championship club then I'd prefer for him to stay where he is. A league 1 side where he can shine would be preferable just now to a struggling championship side. Nathan Flanagan is doing well at E. Fife so there is no reason Connor can't be a similar success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Daily Record reporting that Swansea at going to pay £700k for that lad Gallacher from Falkirk. I suppose on that basis, we'll be looking for £2m+ for Morgan then, given that Gallacher is still a dribbling mess from being schooled by Lewis a few weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he was the left back, maybe the boy just had a bad day but he did get torn apart not just by Morgan but also by Cammy Smith before they swapped sides. Just wait till he has Alli, Sterling and Rashford running at him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just seen on Twitter that Burton Albion have come into some money. Might be time to batten down the hatches... (My honest belief/hope is that Lewis will stay for the season, and get himself a bigger contract somewhere by going on a free.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
