He's having a great season at Montrose. Let's hope it does him the world of good for coming back.
Mochrie looks the biz to be fair, if we let him go without giving him a chance then questions need to be asked
Maybe another player coming in on loan and perhaps Louis Appere going out on loan to one of the Angus clubs ?
Can't see much activity in the January window.
Appere's a strange one. Frozen out by the manager yet he's one of the only players on our books who other clubs may try and come in for either in January or the summer. Would like to know exactly why the manager doesn't rate a player who was linked with a £2.5M move away from the club just last season.
Not saying he isn't. I agree he could fit in somewhere in the team just now. Was just commenting on why he went from the messiah (too far I know) and the price you mentioned , to being left stagnating on the bench. He also was good for Shanklands game.
Not convinced he has the pace that was once mentioned, and playing him against fullbacks down the line is never gonna be his best position. He can still be effective through the middle or just behind , but where does he fit in now with Clark,McNulty & Shankland ?
Would hate to see him loaned out though, but that might mean more bench time , which he might be opposed to.
It's a head scratcher tbh. Maybe something has gone on we're not getting told but it seems unlikely given he seems to be a very good pro.
Fwiw I would have started him ahead of Harkes or Pawlett v Celtic. Puts himself about, strong in the tackle and would have offered support in our attacks. I know he's not a midfielder but.....you know the rest, I've been saying it for months.
I'm still trying to get over that team selection gaffe by Micky, it's baffling. Appere did look a bit lost for confidence in the games he did play in, maybe MM criticism early doors had a negative effect instead of a positive one. It's always hard to know how a young player is going to react when the manager replays a video of a game back.
Will be interesting to see if Appere stays in the January window, if I was Neilson I'd be queuing up for Louis before Callum B.
