Our options are limited there. Exactly what I was thinking. Sometimes, if all you need is a 3rd or 4th choice striker with experience of our league that's willing to play for us knowing they'll spend most of their time on the bench, then that is exactly what you get. And if they improve over the weeks to earn a starting spot, then that's a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bair is doing really well, the lad Vale looks like a potentially great loan deal, we have young Ferrie as back up who I think has looked decent and deserves more time on the park and Obika stealing a wage until he gets fit again. you never know, he might be a new player since I last saw him but I doubt it.im sticking by my view of him as the 2024 version of John hendry. Given only 2 weeks ago we started a game with 1 striker on the pitch & no recognised strikers on the bench then i have no issue with Shaw being here as an option. I would be very surprised if he is considered a starter, but as a squad and bench filler then he is better than heehaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shaw stayed at Barnsley he would probably be 4th or 5th choice anyway so being 3rd choice here he probably finds a better opportunity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 In the summer Shaw was a decent option given his knowledge of Scottish football but he didn’t make the impact I’d hoped for but I’m also a believer in giving a player 6 months at a new club and with SK’s success with Bair here’s hoping he can improve.
