SpoonTon Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 In terms of raw technical ability, King is a cut above League Two level but he's not where Imrie wants him to be in terms of the nitty-gritty of knowing his role and following instructions (and Imrie's very particular about that). I would've liked to have seen him have a chance to start games and learn at Championship level, but Imrie wasn't going to give him that. You never know how these things are going to turn out, but if he settles quickly I think he'll tear League Two up. Quality player. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertised as a right back which didn't help, he's basically only played in midfield. Didn't do much in L1 but been good in his two L1 starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some good games but wasn't ever consistently near good enough for us. I wasn't sure how he'd get on after leaving us, but he did seem like the kind of player who could have a decent career around League Two level. We gave him a stupidly long contract after he first broke through but it seemed pretty clear that Imrie never rated him very highly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Granted he's a child and has played very little football. But I think I remember reading some very positive things about Kyan Gunn - earlier this pre-season too I'm sure? You lot must have the youngest squad in the country mind you.

bhoonaman Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Where’s the hairy arsed “been there done it” experience to complement these kids? That’s what we need short term to steady the ship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy Snake Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Considering we've been having to start guys like Conor Scullion & Euan Cameron recently, Gunn has to be a better option than them even if it's just off the bench. We are at least signing highly rated young players now, even if a bit of balance in experience would be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Are we running a football club or a crèche FFS. No doubt some promising players but almost a full team of them is a concern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hynes never broke through except in the lucid dreams of Gus 'slaphead' McPherson. If King isn't ripping up League Two on a fairly regular basis then something is going wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Good to see some more bodies in eventually in on loan. God knows we need more options in the attacking third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that was one teenager in a team of relatively experienced pros In reality Banks didn’t get much minutes on loan with us and the fact that he played a man of the match full game v Annan at Broadwood clouds many peoples memory of his loan period Currently we have 40% of the squad who are teenagers which regardless of their ability is too much for L2 level You need a core of good experienced pros who have played 300+ games at this level and above to succeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
