In your opinion he might be sh@te, he was given plenty chances up here, I think 17 in the first team with 0 goals, he was then rightly put out on loan to get much needed match experience.Quote:

That’s a lot of chances how many of the subs were the usual 10 mins here and there. We should have persevered with him like we did with cosgroveQuote:

F@cking hell look at Stevie May, Wilson and Cosgrove. Puddings who are getting given starts galore and given the task to lead our line. Chance after chance they are getting yet being pish every time. But they are getting given a fair crack at it.
He will sign for a decent team and haunt us is my guess and we will have Stevie May leading our line
The times I saw Shankland he never looked the part, never looked fit or.......engaged (for want of a better word).
But fair play to him, he's sorted himself out and is doing the bizz at the level he's at.
Time will tell if he can step up, I wish him well unless he goes to Sevco.
Sneckers min, don’t be too objective on here, I know for a fact that Shankland did not apply himself up here, our coach promoted him from the 20’s but did not cut it whilst training with the first team and when given an opportunity on the pitch, he arranges loan deals whilst we paid his wages.....how many on here were bumping their gums when he played for Dunfermline,St.Mirren or Morton?Quote:
