| 21. Author: shellypar Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 11:58 Not starting anything here, did a few not say he didnt want to come back? Or was that true at the point in time, or was it always nonsense? COYP Reply |
| 22. Author: desparado Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 11:59 Good to see him back and hopefully the Aberdeen game wasn’t a flash in the pan. Loads of options up front now. Surely someone else will leave…? Bit concerned that we have paid a fee for someone who can leave for nowt next season……..Promotion really is a must now….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 23. Author: BigTpar1986 Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 12:04 Does anyone have any info on how he bounced back from the injury when he was down the road? On paper a great signing but seems strange considering ( I think ) he just signed a contract extension before coming here on loan last season. Reply |
| 24. Author: GJS93 Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 12:13 ^^ hes not long back from the injury, 2 sub appearances for the u21s but wasnt in their squad for the game last weekend. when Lennon was quoted about another forward it was pretty obvious it was Thomas he was talking about without naming him, might take him a bit of time to get going but hopefully he can pick up from when he left. i dont see this having an affect on the other forwards apart from Macleod who was likely to go out on loan anyway, if someone else goes then they would need replaced imo.

| 26. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 12:27 I heard that we tried to sign him at the start of the window and agreed terms with Bristol but the player turned it down. I suspect that simply meant he wanted to consider other options and, if it took the length of the window for him to change his mind, so what? Most deals done during a transfer window probably have a lengthy gestation period when you consider the number of variables which can affect the outcome. Reply |

| 28. Author: Hunter78 Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 12:39 kelty_par, Fri 4 Sep 10:23 There playing at bigger clubs, earning more money and in arguably better leagues whilst experiencing new competitions etc. FA cup they could be playing at Liverpool, Utd, City with a bit of luck. Why swap that for championship games here? Even if we win the league the Scottish Premiership players are all working to move south. Reply |
| 29. Author: Kdy Par Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 12:44 desparado, Fri 4 Sep 11:59 The club hold the option to extend. So he can’t leave for free if we don’t want him to. Reply |
| 30. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 13:31 Must admit, I never understood the itch for some Scottish players to move to a club from some dump town in England when you could go play somewhere more exotic in Europe...Aaron Hickey wanting to leave Bologna for Brentford/London just boggles my mond...money talks though I guess. Curious to see how Olly does this season - good luck to him! Reply |
| 31. Author: Jjonjord Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 13:45 hurricane_jimmy, Fri 4 Sept 13:31 I take the point you are making, but that has to be one of the worst examples you could`ve come up with! Reply |
| 32. Author: DA-go Par Adonis Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 13:55 Aye, picking out a player leaving for the Premier League, to live in West London, is a bit bizarre. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equal rights and justice in this time Reply |
| 33. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 14:00 BigTpar1986, Fri 4 Sept 12:04 The March injury seems to have kept him out for 5 months. I believe he played against Reading U21 recently. Perhaps he is on a managed return from injury. There is no record that he is injury prone so hopefully this is a one off. Dependent on the type of thigh injury, there are many other cases of players having a similar injury who returned to full fitness in about 16 weeks. Given the club has paid a fee, I would assume that would have been assessed. G Wardrope Reply |

| 36. Author: GG Riva Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 15:26 I`m well pleased to see Olly back. He`s a big, strong lad, faster than a speeding bullet and knows where the goals are. What`s not to like? 😁  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 37. Author: Berry Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 15:48 I agree with IpswichPar and I’m glad we’ve struck a one year deal with the club option of another which gives us more flexibility. It’s a positive signing, but I recall him being raw and wasn’t as effective in the early games however he was growing increasingly important to us and excelled in the Aberdeen game, as he was getting comfortable he got injured which was unfortunate. Welcome back to the club fella! Reply |
| 38. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 15:49 The option I imagine will be tied into what league we are playing in next season. Reply |
| 39. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 16:33 Happy to have him back but it will probably take a month or so to get match fit. Like somebody else said, our squad is huge. We could either walk the league or it could be a case of too many cooks. Let`s hope the Aberdeen game was the start of something and not just a flash in the pan. Pars fan. Magpies fan.

| 40. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Fri 4th Sep 2026. 16:38 kozmasrightfoot, Fri 4 Sep 16:33 To be honest I don’t think anyone expected him to be a prolific goalscorer last season when he arrived but as a strong physical presence up top. The two goals vs Aberdeen probably came as big a shock to him as much as the fans at the game. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |
