diegomarahenry Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Mickey Hewitt. Remember under Hopkin he was the only competent midfielder we had for a spell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by spell, you mean that one game against Dundee United then yeah… I also remember Lee Bullen playing him as a number ten in that huge game against Queens Park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I see Dean Keenan is leaving Troon today. A player who would run through brick walls for us although maybe not the best/most technically gifted footballer. Glad he got his testimonial at Troon hope he has success with his next endeavour 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That playoff game at Thistle was the stuff of nightmares. Aye, he was crap but there was a brief moment he was our only midfielder that looked capable of challenging for a ball and making a pass. it didn’t last long and shows how bad we were at the time.

callum-ayr Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Hewitts injury completely done him, never looked the same. You forget he was out for over a year I think. Lost a lot of pace and strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. That game was on the bloody telly. Hewett lasted a full 60 minutes before being subbed off. NB Steven McLean was the Ref. so it wouldn't have really mattered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not that bad just not good enough for our level. Whilst I’d like to see the youth players be good enough to start, ending up in the league below suggests an ok job by the academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Hewitt has pretty much sunk without trace at Accies though. Maybe he’s had injury problems I’m not aware of, but you look at that plus the career trajectory of Jordan Houston and you realise we are very guilty of over hyping young players and desperately trying to convince ourselves they are something they just aren’t. It’s not the worst thing i suppose, but it really got out of hand under Bullen with the whole mindless happy clapping thing opening the door to some staggering mediocrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was steady enough against the poorer sides and got a significant amount of game time out on loan. Tough call holding Partick against him when some of their previous attacking players were a handful for most players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone with a serious opinion thought Hewitt was particularly good, it was more often than not that he was no worse than the terrible senior player(s) he could play instead of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with Houston he really had the ability to do better than he has turned out to be. Injury really halted all development and he regressed horribly. There was a reason rangers had a buy back clause there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a reason rangers had a buy back clause there Houston had a decent 6 months in a very good Ayr team - honestly not sure if his decline was due to injuries or if he just found his natural level. Scary to think our midfield during those 6 months included Steven Kelly, Alan Forrest, Luke McCowan, Ross Docherty and Mark Kerr. I think it’s pretty standard now for buy back clauses to be included - don’t believe for a second that Rangers ever thought they would activate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Hewitt to Hamilton was a strange move as even accies fan said they didn’t feel they needed another midfielder and it shows with under 20 Apperances this season and only 5 starts no doubt he probably can do a job in a mid table league 1 team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
