| 21. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 22:31 Maybe he just had a bit of a cold or something and needed to shake it off. People need to stop over analysing. Reply |
| 22. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Sun 20th Jul 2025. 22:58 Lennon says he not hitting the levels of the rest. Why make daft excuses about colds? Reply |
| 23. Author: BigTpar1986 Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 09:59 Bertie Paton, Sun 20 Jul 21:47 It’s worth noting that Josh spent a year building with us to get to the point he is at now. The only similarities between the two players is they are young, attacking players and went full time when signing with us. Young has a contract until 27 and if it takes him 6 months to find the form, so be it. With the prospect of another seasoned striker coming in, having Kane, Cooper, the new signing plus a developing Connor Young.. maybe we need to dial back the scepticism. This isn’t aimed at you personally Bert, just pulling your post as an example. Reply |
| 24. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 10:19 News of another young Pars striker from Scott Burns in the Record - `Dunfermline Athletic will consider loan options for Taylor Sutherland, The 19-year-old had a successful spell at Clyde last season. The Pars rate him highly but believe the young striker would benefit from more first-team exposure. Sutherland has also had top team action with the Pars and on-loan at Bonnyrigg Rose.` Reply |
| 25. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 12:08 Bertie Paton, Sun 20 Jul 22:58 A cold is just an example of one of the many reasons he could be out the squad. Lennon said "He`s been a bit off it". There`s no stated time period or reason given. Unfortunately, no manager is going to come out and say "Look, he had a bad kebab last week and it`s been coming out both ends." so you`ll always get vague comments. Reply |
| 26. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 12:34 "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.” Doesn’t sound like injury or illness at all that sort of comment’s usually aimed at lighting a fire under the player. Could be attitude, fitness, maybe even just not applying himself the way the lennon expects. You don’t air that kind of thing unless you’re looking for a reaction. If he doesn’t buck up his ideas he can easily see himself being loaned out to get regular minutes and hopefully sharpen up. Time will tell, but the ball’s firmly in the his court now. Either he steps up or slips further down the pecking order. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 27. Author: Bucuresti Par Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 12:39 Bray has looked at handy at set pieces from what I have seen. Cooper has taken a few pre-season, his corners look ok, mainly hung up to the far post. Kearney might be useful as well, his crossing looks excellent, something we have lacked for many years now.

| 28. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 12:44 Kearney seems to like to cross early. He doesn`t seem to need the proverbial `half-yard`. He seems to have the knack of crossing `round` the defender and he favours the far post - at least that was how it seemed to me on Saturday. Reply |
| 29. Author: fcda Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 13:02 cammypar 1995, Mon 21 Jul 12:34 I agree with Jake. Lennon doesn`t say why he`s been "off it" so no point in reading too much into it. You could take it in the negative ways you suggest or it could be due to a niggling injury or minor illness that`s just put him a bit behind. Reply |
| 30. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 14:13 I think that if he had a cold, for example, then Lennon would say he’d been left out because he’s had a bit of illness. Sure he’s said that before with others? Sounds to me like he’s trying to get a reaction, probably because he thinks he is capable of doing better than he is. Wouldn’t make sense to be ambiguous if he’s still injured or ill. Reply |
| 31. Author: CrossPar Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 14:25 Connor Young has it all to prove at this level and strikes me that Lennon will not tolerate the mediocrity that we have put up with in the past so, if this is him laying down a marker, so be it. Reply |
| 32. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 16:11 fcda, Mon 21 Jul 13:02 Lennon’s comments were pretty telling, needing a “bit extra work” isn’t usually code for injury, it’s more about sharpness, fitness or attitude. Either way, he’s clearly behind the rest and Lennon won’t carry passengers. He’s ruthless when it comes to standards he showed that with the mass exodus at the end of the season. Hopefully it is the early wake up call he needs because there’s a player in there, but these next few weeks are massive imo. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 33. Author: RossF Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 16:16 Young definitely has what it takes to be a success here but whether he does or not is entirely up to him. I remember feeling the same about Andy Ryan when he came here and was disappointed he didn’t kick on but I think Lennon will get the best out of Young. You can already see the improvement in Oakley-Boothe since Lennon has came in. It’s early days but he definitely looks more interested and gets more involved than when Tidser was in charge. Reply |
| 34. Author: neils Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 17:26 What little I`ve seen of him, looks promising, but like a lot of guys at this level, it`s sink or swim. Lennon is too long in the tooth to have guys hanging round with little or no improvement (as we have had plenty in the past) The pre season training has been as comprehensive as I can remember, clearly anyone not up to it will need extra work, or/and be loaned out. I`m not reading much into his comments, he clearly needs work as he`s not been playing much, does the also apply to Matty Todd and pthers? It`s a big year for all these guys. Maybe needs pointing out? Reply |
| 35. Author: fcda Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 21:35 A minor injury or illness [b]recently[/b] could have set him back, meaning that as of [b]now[/b]... he`s a bit behind everyone else and needs to do more work. That`s just one possibility amongst many so I wouldn`t read too much into Lennon`s comments. Reply |
| 36. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Mon 21st Jul 2025. 21:47 Cut from the cloth of Clough > O`Neill > Lennon you`d imagine he won`t be one to mess around or suffer fools. Listening to any of the ex Celtic boys on the various podcasts over the last few years you also get this impression, time for a laugh and carry on when the time was right but otherwise all business and really high intensity training. ---------------------------------------------------------------  [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.
