Topic: Conner Young

We’ve loaned out 2 strikers, so very unlikely to loan out Connor Young. I do think a front 2, alongside Chris Kane, would be interesting!

Do we know if any other clubs were interested in signing him? It seems a bit of a coup for the Pars to have got him.

If we played 4-4-2 with some of the suggestions above we would get torn to shreds through the middle. We are bad enough with 3 midfielders in there let alone 2

Berry, Wed 12 Feb 17:29

Boys been scoring goals for fun in League 2, we have to find a system to play him in, alongside Kane preferably.

Gets him familiar with Championship football quicker whilst making an impact.

Can’t be great for his development if the plan is to sign him and not put him in a starting role for the rest of the season.

He should start on Saturday for me.

I’d go with:

Tobi

Comrie
Mullen
Bene
Ngwenya

Otoo
Wotherspoon
Stevens
MOH

Kane
Young


good 11

As decent line up that Berry so long as MOH turns up.

And just out of interest for the younger posters this afternoon I have been watching

51 Andy smith goals for Dunfermline athletic in 10 minutes on you tube.

Oh for a team to play generally 4-4-2 with 2 wingers and overlapping full backs just getting the ball into the box for an centre forward/s who knew the ball would come in and generally be there or thereabouts when it did come in and mainly decent EXCITING football with loads of efforts on goal and goals.

Not the over coached crap we are enduring now and for the last few years.

Yes, he had some VERY good offers in Scotland and further afield, which he knocked back because he felt this was the best place to come for his career. He was getting offered more money and the likelihood of UEFA Champions League experience every season

I`m confused, what did he say in the second sentence that spoiled it ??

I would have expected `certainty` rather than `likelihood`.

I suppose if he had joined TNS then `certainty` might have been better, but he could have easily joined one of the 2 Irish teams that enquired , which takes it to `likelihood`.....

Assume he had offers from Ireland, where he could play in Europe regularly.

Every week Young is sitting on the bench he’s losing match sharpness as he was playing week in/out and scoring goals for fun…
Get him up top with Kane and go attacking on Saturday..

Mon the Pars!

Certainty would have worked fine, but in football NOTHING is certain. It`s certainly very likely though

Sure he was cup-tied the last 2 games?

Agree if we’re going to play 442 to accommodate young we’ll need a better partner for otoo than wotherspoon.

Unless the young loans hit the ground running I don’t think we can play 442.

The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

I know he was ineligible for the cup games but why was he on the subs bench? Or am I remembering it wrong?

He wasn’t on the bench for the Livi or Aberdeen games.
