Had a look at his highlights reel and most of his goals are into feet. The odd header but few and far between. Scores a few different types of goals which is good although most with his right foot. Hadnt realised he had scored 2 against us at McDairmid a couple years back. Not sure he offers anything different from Stama. Maybe we are gonna accept the money from the Norwegian team?

joewarkfanclub Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Lots of St Johnstone fans in the other place, being very complimentary of Hendry. All saying we have a good striker on our hands. Should come with the health warning that these are the same guys that thought Bair was shite...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he is struggling. This is the longest he has stayed fit for us, so Im kinda hoping he will get better as time goes on. In no hurry to chase him out the door as I think we will need options until Sule, Robinson, Nicholson and Stuparevic all get fit (although, I fully expect some of them wont play for us again).

wunderwell Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I'm not sure where to put this comment - but those writing AP off with certainty I think are wrong. If we are to be patient with our new style, I think we can be patient enough to at least see AP over the first ten league games. Theo Bair was a running joke in his first x games for us. Plenty more I can add to that too. There's a player in there, and it could go either way. To add - I have more doubts about Said than AP in terms of future prominence - but again ten games and I can add more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strikes me as being a penalty box player end of, although admittedly his service has been poor so far. We either have to adapt our game to suit him, or he's moved on. I can't see JBA changing our style to accommodate one player. His one saving grace is that our midfield and "support" strikers have yet to start firing on all cylinders.

Yep, it's a shame he lost his wife but a lot of people with a lot less resources have gone through that...anyway all power to his boy.

thewelllfan Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Hendry looks to be a decent addition we need a holding midfielder and a winger/No10 and our squad is ready for the season. Ward/Oxborough JK/Sparrow Gordon/SOD Mcginn/Mcghee/Balmer Longelo/Wilson Watt Fadinger/Halliday Just/Ross Slattery/Nicholson Maswanhise/Said Hendry/Stam/Osong/ + Sule/Robinson/Stuperavic (All injured for a period of time) If JBA doesn't fancy Balmer shift him and get a Cb in.

fizoxy Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 AP has 6 goals in 25 games for us, and 20 in 40 for his last team. To say there's little evidence of his ability to score is lazy and incorrect. He had 2 injuries last season, on top of literally moving from the other side of the world, at the same time his baby was born. It's well known that it takes players from other countries an extended time to settle. Never mind when the club changes manager twice and overhaul the style. In addition, he works his arse off, leads the line well, is solid on the ball, puts himself about, and frequently gets himself into good positions. All attributes that tend to buy players time, but for some reason AP isn't getting the benefit of that from some. JBA said that it will take time for the forward players to gel, which makes sense. No one knows for sure how it will play out for him, but there's no evidence to suggest we should cut bait on him when signing a goalscorer is proven to be one of the hardest things for a club to do, and our market is the likes of Callum Hendry. We just came off of losing two managers in a season and having to reshape a bloated and unbalanced squad that looked dead on its feet at the start if fhe yead, and we've managed to make a good start of it, so I don't think now is the time to nitpick on individuals. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
