grizzlyg Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 All I would say was of those 16 appearances how many were starts? I don't see him starting many but it at least gives cover for Bair and Vale as I wouldn't rely on Obika being fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he rates him as he's been on the bench for the last couple of games. Absolutely. Mark Ferrie looks nowhere near ready to step into the first team, even as a sub. He only had very limited gametime at Stenhousemuir. He may be a good prospect and hopefully, we'll develop him, but he needs time. Oli Shaw has some nice touches and had a couple of assists but he doesn't look to be a finisher. Something strange about the loan deal,as has been alluded to. As things stand, the Bair is our No 1, with Vale looking to be a decent No 2, albeit on limited evidence. He looked sharp and pacy on Tuesday and took his goal well. Defenders won't push him around either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 We will probably sign him in the summer and extend Obika as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and we'll probably double season ticket prices, replace the pitch with shitty plastic, paint the stairs with paint that never dries, and put marbles in the pies and pish in the drinks. Probably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. Tbf they did increase season tickets, fuck the park up and put stupid railings on the stairs the last couple of summers so you never know. I don't use the pie stalls but people around me seem to love them and can't go 25 minutes without one so they must be decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 I'm not sure what kind of player is going to be sold on coming in as a third-choice striker at Motherwell. Our options are limited there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
Big Stall Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 6 hours ago, mio said: I like SK, I think he’s done a good job since he came but what he sees in Ollie Shaw is beyond me. 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 Report Share Posted February 8 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.
