 Connor Young

Couple of guys were missing today, Connor Young, was he just left out of the squad?

“He was left out of the squad. He’s been a bit off it and needs a bit of extra work, I think, just to get up to speed with the rest.”

It’s definitely one of those where you read between the lines a bit. “Off it” and “needs a bit of extra work” sounds like he`s maybe not quite hitting the levels expected in training.

You’d hope it’s just a wee kick up the backside to get him going again. Was a big season for him after the injury last season. Will be interesting to see if he is involved in some capacity on Tuesday. If he’s on the bench or gets a cameo it might tell us he’s still in the plan If he’s nowhere near where lennon expects him to be it could be a difficult time for him. Either way, big few weeks ahead for him.

Not reading too much into it. Could be a clever bit of man management from Lennon to get a bit extra from him at training if he’s not been doing it?

Big few weeks for everyone really …. 3 or 4 still to come in … 4 or 5 will be going out on loan to stay fit and get game time. I won’t be surprised if a couple get moved on at their request. Window closes 31st August. Sutherland brothers out on loan. Fischer away or on loan. I think Connor Young will be fighting for a place with a bit of competition for 1 slot if Kane and Cooper have 2 out of 3 already.

He is still only 20. I suspect as he hasn`t scored, there may be a confidence issue. If he puts in,the hard work goals will come for him, I am sure. He is a bit like Cooper in that respect. A little more time to get up to speed in the championship, but once he does, he will start scoring goals.

He has scored….

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

And he`s signed up till 2027 end of season, so plenty time.

Seen enough of him (and Cooper) to say that he has good instinct and positioning, definitely worth being patient.

It`s a big step from PT football, and plenty guys get a rude awakening, and plenty take more time to get up to speed.

What I`m sure about, with the intense pre season training is that we will not hang on for years waiting -its a big year for a lot of players in that respect, would assume we will send the younger ones on loan to get mens games under the belt.

already need one forward but might end up needing two by the end of the window.

could afford maybe 1 or 2 going out on loan from the first team and not having to replace them if the positions Lennon has talked about get filled, any more than that and they will need replacements.

On the subject of loans there has been no comment from the club on participation in the new Cooperation Partnership scheme for Premiership clubs. With the Tobi issue I thought at one time that we might try to get Celtic but it looks like that ship has sailed. I can`t see there being much benefit with Hearts or Dundee United plus NL has said he isn`t looking for many incoming loans, though that might depend on the club`s success at landing deals.
