I`m at Meadowbank watching City v East Fife. It`s 1-0 at half-time, a cracking free kick from Connor Young. He must be attracting attention, wonder if we`re keeping tabs on him? He fits the criteria. Scores, young, works hard and no little talent!

Certainly won’t be playing in league 2 next year. These are the sorts of players you perhaps need to take a gamble on.
Think the last player to be talked about in the same way was Charlie Reilly, injuries look to have completely stalled him.
Would be interesting if tidser identifies anyone from league 1 who is thinks is able to make the big step up.
The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

He is exactly the type of player Dunfermline should be taking a gamble on. He had a couple of cracking free-kicks versus Stirling recently. One he scored and the other saved, but led to a goal after. He’ll be on the radar of English clubs now to play in their under age squad.

Hopefully we do our homework on him as we have seen the difference in the standard between even league 1 and the championship. But if we like what we see and the price is right why not.

He certainly wasn`t at his best against us in the Cup game, but he has an eye for goal, works hard and puts defenders through their paces. Is he a better prospect than Taylor Sunderland? Hard to say, but he`s playing league football every week, albeit League 2, and is gaining good experience. I also think City manager, Michael McIndoe, is one to watch. He`s taken a young side who were relegation favourites and is molding then into promotion contenders.

Unbelievable post. We haven`t signed him and may never do so but you`ve completely written the lad off. Why? How do you know he can`t improve and cut it at a higher level?
I think Ally McCoist scored a hat full of goals at Berwick, so St Johnstone took a chance on him. The goals kept coming and he ended up at Ibrox.....

I would absolutely give him a chance. I can remember Martin Boyle being the top scorer at Montrose in league two and he kicked on. There will be others that have managed it at higher levels too. We signed Josh Cooper from Stirling Albion when he was seen as an impact sub for them. He’s not looked out of place. I’m sure Connor Young could handle it in the championship given a chance.
Players like this need to go up a level and keep getting first team football. I think that’s what held back Charlie Reilly and if you look at it from our end, even Bakhtaoui and PJ Crossan. Reilly would have been better going to a team where he would continue playing every week to allow him to progress. It made no sense him going to Dundee, as you knew he wouldn’t feature.

According to wikipedia McCoist had a short spell working as a clerical assistant before becoming a full-time pro. He joined SJ from Fir Park Boys` Club. He`d been training with St Mirren but Fergie didn`t offer him a contract. After SJ he had a pretty unsuccessful 18 months with Sunderland (9 goals in 65 appearances) before he joined Rangers.

There was quite a good tale told by Steve Cowan about when him and McCoist were 13 year olds from East Kilbride and Alex Ferguson used to come and collect them, take them to training at St Mirren for the youth team and then they would go to the chippy and wait on Fergie finishing the first team training. Apparently they both liked a prank and Cowan poured a bucket of water over McCoist when he was coming out the tunnel, leading to McCoist losing it and them having a full blown scrap. Ferguson separated them but McCoist was never seen again at Love Street.
Anyway, nothing to do with Connor Young, who we should be signing immediately

This is good news, knows where the goal is and is likely to get game time here this season given Kane doesn’t tend to finish games and misses a few.
He’s got a cracking free kick on him too, we could really do with someone with that in their locker.
Paid a decent fee from what I hear, it’s looking promising and hopefully helps lift the squad ahead of the game tomorrow. Sutherland could replace him at city on loan would be ideal.

This is the kind of signing I think may be targeted. Young players, getting good numbers, who have the potential to become a valuable asset, helping the club in the present and be sold for a profit in the future.
I`m not sure on how much usable data would be available for a player playing in League 2, other than his goals and assists numbers which are fairly obvious to anyone.

Certainly seems to have instinct and to know where the net is , looks a really good signing, one for the future, but he doesn`t look raw, so maybe they will start him in the first team?
If he already has these qualities, it`s only his full time fitness that needs improving I would imagine, certainly he can learn a lot from Kane (which some of our other forwards have been unable to do) .
I would imagine he would be able to link well with KRH, and Kane can do what he does very well. Should buck up the other forwards too.

Definitely not Wighton. He should be nowhere near the team.

By play right do you mean upfront in a league 1 team much stronger than the others in a poor league?

It`s funny how we apparently only won League 1 at a canter because we were much better than the other teams in that poor League but as soon as we arrive in the Championship most of our squad are classed as League 1 standard. I can`t quite get my head round it. I don`t think it`s quite as simple as classifying players as `League 1` or `Championship`.

Some of these players have had 2.5 seasons in the Championship with us. We can clearly see they aren`t good enough

We weren`t much better than the other teams in league 1.
How many times did we have to dig into the 2nd halves of games because the 1st was 💩 time and time again.
What won us that league was we were stronger and fitter than the other teams and that ground results out. That told me most of those players were gonna struggle back in the Champ, and so it`s proving.

Falkirk were also full-time and presumably stronger and fitter but it didn`t work for them. It took them 5 years to get out of League 1 despite being full-time.

While changing their players and managers before eventually getting it right. Our squad of players that we have aren’t good enough. League table shows this.

You would hope that a new manager can improve players as well as playing them in a way that suits them rather than just write them off as not good enough but we shall see.

Of course. Some have had many chances. He will get time with them though as we won’t be able to clear out and start again. Let’s see if you are correct over next few months.

Well if we are dealing with the present season It glaringly obvious the players in question aren’t good enough.
We’re only 10points behind the next team up the table that’s played the same amount of games as us

I think the transfer window closes on Feb 3rd, Eck, so there`s a bit longer than you thought.

Standard bickering.
The reality is that teams are a collective of players. We are currently as good as a 9th place championship team. The team will be a mix of players who could comfortably play in a team above this level and others who are below this level. A player`s form may go up and down during their career. Young players may improve with experience or lose their edge. Managers, formations and style of play also affect this.
Even within that, players in similar positions might have different qualities. Compare Josh Edwards and Aaron Comrie. It`s all about having the right blend of players.
I don`t see the point in labelling a player as "league one level". Why is it necessary to label Matty Todd for example? Isn`t it enough to say "he`s not playing well", or "Player X should play instead"? If we`re talking about contracts I could understand but mostly that`s for the end of the season.
Right now, it`s about picking the best blend from the players we have. Chalmers played full back because in the manager`s view the team is better with Otoo in midfield. It was a compromise.

Far too sensible, fcda.
We have so many posters on here who give the impression they could make a far better fist of managing the Pars than either the current manager or any we`ve had in recent seasons.

The current players are not good enough for this level we just got slapped by a team who last won a league game on 3rd August. We have been pretty poor all season and the league position shows that. We need to be beating teams around us and Saturday was a great chance to do just that and the players bottled it.

19 goals in a league made up of defences that are worse than ours? sounds like the next George best lets sign him up then watch him stutter and stall then fail to get even a quarter of those goals in the championship
Unbelievable post. We haven`t signed him and may never do so but you`ve completely written the lad off. Why? How do you know he can`t improve and cut it at a higher level?
I think Ally McCoist scored a hat full of goals at Berwick, so St Johnstone took a chance on him. The goals kept coming and he ended up at Ibrox.....
Willie Ormond signed Ally from a boys club, with him beIng a stand out success from the beginning. I remember going to the old Muirton park to see the Pars take on St Johnston with Ally being a live wire on the saints team that day, but we had a decent crew with guys like paul donnelly, Jim Scott and our superstar of the time Micky Leonard beating them 2 or 3 -1
