He’d fit the mould of “winners” that he wants to bring to the club but unless we lose Walsh, Todd or McCowan I don’t know how much work Hopkin will do to bring attacking midfielders/wingers to the club.

I think his game has evolved, he strikes me more as an all round midfielder nowadays, possibly more like a rich mans Chalmers and also someone who isn't afraid to put in a tackle if need be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is Chalmers, we don't actually have any sort of formation as such and the players all just seem to be "knocking around", hopefully this is something Hopkin can deal with. But I'd far rather Craig Conway "knocking around" as some of the guys we have currently !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'd be delighted with conway. He's shown some good flashes for saints in the Premier league this season and I'm sure dropping down a level would improve his game.Loads of know-how and probably a great role model for any of our youngsters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzar Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Oh for a Steven Bell and Andy Geoghan or a Michael Rose - a steadying influence and a harsh word when one is needed. We need players like that who can go up a gear when it's necessary. The trick is finding them and getting them integrated with the rest of the squad such that their message on the park is clear and unequivocal every week. It's what we've missed all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc93 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Conway still stays in Chorley and did an interview the other week saying being away from his kids is tough. If he does leave St Johnstone he might end up somewhere like Flyde if he's not wanting to move back to Scotland permanently. I'd take him though but think the first few signings might give us a better idea what formation will be Hopkin's preferred cause right now it's hard to say if it will be wing-backs or wingers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, it's unlikely he'd uproot his family just so he could play out his final year as a pro at Ayr, maybe if circumstances had been different or he fancied moving back to Ayrshire then that would have happened, but as you say, it's more likely he'd finish up closer to the family home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Wee update on Nicky Devlin for you lads.

Lochwood Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Impressed with Ross Forbes tonight Goode experienced pro, his assists for goals must be right up there, was high when he played for Morton, I know Hopkin thought the team lacked experience so he would fit the bill maybe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hopefully we do what we did last summer and just announce all the guys we’ve retained in one day instead of dragging it all out and then fully focus on bringing new guys in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate was his Boss when he played for Motherwell, think he was on the Bathgate job. He did say he was a really nice guy and probably never got close to fulfilling the undoubted potential that he had. I also remember Craig Brown raving about him when he was just breaking through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
