Tbf I'd rather we got money for him now than watching him walk away for free in the summer. 500k isn't to be sniffed at if it means a striker comes in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seriously, I wonder if Tam rates Niskanen, given his drop in minutes per match, but I'd have him starting a solid run of games again. A. Nother may well be one of the younger players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but I think Courts will want to play him there as a focal point for McNulty and Watt to play off of. He excelled for Coventry in that kind of role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll let you off this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get him to perform consistently then he'd be worth keeping but he's been here how many years and other than a few good runs of form hes been mostly meh or injured. If he goes then id expect more of our Champions League conveyer belt full of youths to be starting. One of Chalmers, Mochrie, Glass or Watson should be given his starting role imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Benji, Mulgrew and Edwards there has been a marked downturn in performance between the games where we were grinding out 1-0 wins and the last seven or eight. Maybe other managers have studied Courts’ tactics and discovered how to neutralise us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Courts got found to a degree, he was a bit of an unknown quantity and the players were stepping up a level with fans back in the stadium. Next step up is to see how he puts the players out the next few games with injuries clearing and covid cases dropping. Might have full strength bar players leaving for other clubs and then it's who comes in to replace them or which youth gets slotted in to step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the biggest critics of Courts’ appointment but was delighted to be proven wrong. The one thing that infuriates me is his unwillingness to chase a game when we are a goal down with 10/15 minutes to go; in particular his unwillingness to properly utilise subbies in this situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always keep an eye out for Pawlett as thought one day he might end up at Cove given he grew up in Aberdeen (well Banchory) and still has roots there. Whether he'd dip down to L1 though is maybe a stretch. Heard rumours of Mark Reynolds joining us in January. Was similar rumours in the summer it must be said. Can't say I'd be enamoured by him joining. Too late in his career and not been playing recently.
