He was rubbish as usual, yes he ran about but I’ve yet to see him win a header, take a player on successfully, have a shot on target or pass to a teammate when they’re in a better position.
He may well go on to have good career and I hope he does in the future but thankfully today will have been the last we’ve seen of him at East End.

It was his best game for us, and the effort he put in so should embarrass some of the so called snr pros in that team today. I really like the fact that Lennon has made it clear that lack of effort is a line in the sand for him. No McPake `Ah couldnae fault anyone`, and no Tidser chucking folk under the bus in public.

I take zero pleasure in saying it but I thought he offered nothing yet again. His positional awareness lets him down and his decision making is poor. He done well at one point where he was clearly fouled and managed to retain the ball and escape danger but that’s all I can recall. Cooper looked much more of a thread when he came on.
Nothing would make me happier to see him scoring a goal or two and proving fans wrong but I can’t see that happening next week either.
Personally I’d give Andy Tod a chance over Yeboah. I’m surprised he has not been played as his loan spell at East Fife was fairly successful (until his injury) and he always looks capable when given a chance.

Football isn’t the only profession that’s sink or swim and open to major criticism you know.. Granted it attracts the most attention from social media but the majority of jobs require people to work through high pressure situations every day (not just every Saturday), regardless of their age. If mistakes are made they can get chastised by work colleagues/management/customers and that can be much worse than people commenting on a forum. If players can’t handle the pressure of playing in the Scottish Championship, people understandably will question their ability, especially when we badly need results.
I’d bet everyone one here who criticises Yeboah would love to be proved wrong. Even when he goes back to Bristol, I’d be delighted to see him prove me wrong and kick on to have a very successful career. Sadly, he has been poor for us during his loan spell and shown very little quality.

Thank you Parrot for letting me know I can say arsewipe on this forum. Hooray for the arsewipes.
As for Yeboah, let`s not forget the bloody pitch. Mbappe would struggle to score on this pitch, and let`s not pretend he`s the only player that doesn`t look up to scratch.
Good luck for the future Yeboah. Maybe NL will keep him on as he maybe sees something in him in training that we don`t. He`ll have to do better than our new 300 thousand quid Bulgarian striker though 😆 🤣 😂.
As much as Kane has saved us on more than a few occasions, we need better than him if we`re going to compete at the top end of the table.
Poor Connor Young looks like missing the whole preseason which will hold him back when he gets his fitness back. Thus making him the latest boo boy.

I think it`s unfair to scapegoat players. At 18 he has had to step up into the championship . Not the easiest of places. He is still developing, and he has improved in his time here. He has been asked to play and has done so. He is not the finished article but who is at 18. I am sure he has learned a few things being here, and hopefully, he will take that away with him. He has stepped up when asked to play so good on him. I`m sure he will have a future in the game

The boys only 18 and this will have been a good experience for him as he’ll have realised he is miles off where he wants to be.
He does a lot of hard work with the running but very little else, his decision making is poor, ability to retain possession of the ball is poor, he can’t win a header and is bullied easily off the ball by defenders so needs a lot of time in the gym.
Wish him the best but very glad that’s the last we’ll see of him.

I don’t get that motivation either wee eck but again I’ve always believed that if someone in any career does one million things right and makes one mistake, they’ll forever be known for that mistake. It’s sad but that’s the harsh reality of life. It doesn’t make it right but it’s absolutely the case. Some people on here think the Dunfermline forum is the worst for criticism, which is absolute rubbish. That happens with every single club, especially during bad spells.
Reading kozmasrightfoot’s post, I don’t understand the pitch being blamed for Yeboah’s progress when he failed to perform away from home and the fact that Hamilton, Airdrie and Partick were able to create clear cut chances through decent moves. Also, since when did Connor Young become a boo boy? Him being injured is a massive blow for us and I’m very hopefully he can be a key player for us next season.

He has something about him, you see flashes of it, unfortunately the end product isn`t there yet. I also question is attitude. I spotted something a few weeks ago at the warm up. As all the first team went in, young Andy Tod and the other younger members of the squad were gathering up the balls, he shouted over to Yeboah to help and pick up the water bottles and he just looked at them, and sauntered off the pitch, completely blanking Andy.

Kane got absolute pelters on here during and shortly after pre season. So did McPake for signing him. The point being made is there are people on here who will slaughter the young lad if he has a couple of underpar performances, and that could happen if he doesnt get a full season.
We are not wrong. We have posters on here who would do that.

Disagree completely. Fans were frustrated that Kane was injured, not because he was underperforming. I cannot recall anyone giving McPake pelters for signing him. His loan spell was a success and most (if not all) fans wanted him signed for this season. His injury record is poor, which is what frustrated fans and made them desperate, especially when we heavily relied on him this season. I believe we’ve only won one game without him? Connor Young is exciting signing. Fans won’t write him off for a few bad performances. They’ll write him off if he doesn’t perform week in/week out - just like any player. I believe Young will end up being a fantastic signing. Like Kane, he needs service from the midfield and wings next season. This will hopefully be addressed in the summer.

But when someone simply dismisses things without a counter discussion and calls you a rocket...
hey ho - bigger problems in the world and all that - one of the reasons this forum is so full of arguments and name calling is for the 2,000 views a post gets, there are 6 or 7 people going back and forth doing exactly that with 2 or 3 trying to have a discussion. And everyone else reading it cant be arsed putting their thoughts in just to get their bottom kicked.

Someone hit the nail on the head for me regarding Yeboah further up on the thread.
We loaned Taylor Sutherland out and brought in Yeboah to replace him, makes no sense at all.
We should’ve kept our own youngster and have him game time, I’m fully convinced Taylor would’ve had more of an impact than Yeboah had.

I hope you`re right but thanks to his goal on Saturday, he`s now got 1 in 13 for Clyde.
He also looked like he wasn`t ready for a scrap in the Championship whenever he played earlier this season. I reckon his development is better served on loan in League 2 and playing for our reserves.

Surely whoever signed off on the deal should have factored all this in when bringing him up to Scotland in the first place? This is the bigger issue for me, who thought he was ready for this level? Was he a in-house scouting choice, a Colquhoun contacts or an analytics signing?
I can’t help think that if he was a home grown academy player he would be out on loan to a Lowland League or SPFL2 team at this point in his development.
It is not the boys fault that he is not ready for this level of football yet. Hopefully, it’s been a useful experience for him & he goes on to have a successful career. It would be great if he could get a goal in the next game to hopefully leave on a positive note. Anyway, the end of the season cannot come quick enough. On to next season.

Make no mistake, he is and was nowhere near ready for this level. He may never be ready for this level but a very poor signing given he was brought in to strengthen the team. Not as bad as the other youngsters who barely even got an appearance like hampson and rivaldo.
At least Lenny will have the power to veto anyone recommended by John colquoun, he gave Tidser an expensive hospital pass in January for sure. Mind you Tidser didn’t help himself by going for Stevens who has been another player that’s looked like a boy playing against men.
At least it’s pretty much impossible to have a worse signing window than the last 3-4 we’ve had.
