| 1. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 07:43 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. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 2. Author: StackPar Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 08:48 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? Reply |
| 3. Author: coventrypar Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 09:53 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.

| 4. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 10:21 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. G Wardrope Reply |
| 5. Author: desparado Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 10:59 He has scored…. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 6. Author: neils Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 11:22 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.

| 7. Author: GJS93 Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 11:56 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.

| 8. Author: bannerpar Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 15:04 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. Reply |

| 10. Author: bannerpar Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 15:59 Yes. Ayr and Celtic look likely. I`ve just noticed that Tobi has turned 22 so he won`t be eligible. We can also use it to lend out our players to lower league teams so could use e.g. East Eife/Edinburgh City or Spartans to keep the loans local. I`m not sure how it will work but I think there is more flexibility to allow the players to train with their main club. Reply |
| 11. Author: pars4life1 Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 16:09 It`s never been an issue to allow loan players to train with their parent club, that`s an arrangement that`s always been arranged between the two clubs and will continue. Co-op is meant to free up players on the fringes of first team squads that clubs might be hesitant to release in case they are needed some weeks to be a bench option. Aim is they play for lower club most weeks but can be recalled by parent club weeks they are needed. I think it`s a stupid system that won`t release the players lower league clubs want, especially given the parent club can`t request a fee or wages covered. Reply |
| 12. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 18:32 Not wanting to speculate but sure young will come good. He was full time at hibs before stepping down for regular game time so it shouldn’t have been too much of a shock to the system getting back to full time. With kane’s injury record he should get plenty of game time if he hangs in there, unless we bring in another more experienced striker. Now got me thinking, we were looking forward to Young’s free kicks, has gilmour or amade or anyone else we have brought in have a quality delivery or a good free kick attempt at goal in them? Kearney? Bray? The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 13. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 18:41 Cooper took a free kick from outside the box not long after he scored the first goal yesterday but I think it hit the wall. Reply |

| 18. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 21:47 Connor certainly has got talent from what I`ve seen. Hope he screws the nut and makes the most of his second chance at full time football. If I`m being honest I think he`s needing to get his finger out. Been here since January and now not making match day squads against Dumbarton, whilst Josh Cooper is smashing it out the park as a striker now. He`s going to be left behind. Reply |
| 19. Author: red-star-par Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 21:57 I think people are maybe needing to cool their jets. Could be reading far too much into a throwaway comment. Let`s not forget that he`s been injured for a long time Reply |
| 20. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 22:07 Lennon praised Young when he first came in so it’s a change of man management style with him. Reply |
