| 1. Author: GG Riva Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 06:47 Good to see Sam doing so well at Stenhousemuir after being released by the Pars at the end of last season. I was saddened to see him leave as I thought he showed real potential in some of the games he started with us, especially in a struggling team. He`s still only 20 and I`ll be keeping an eye on his progress. He would probably struggle to get a game in the current Pars team, as Abdulai and SCH are a class act, but the latter is not our player, and I doubt whether Dundee United would be ever prepared to sell him to the Pars.  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |

Author: desparado Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 08:42 I agree he would struggle to get a game in the current team but I found it a little strange that SY was released but AD was given another year( he looks promising too )…..Sam had been at the club a lot longer and had a few first team games under his belt. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 3. Author: Bandy Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 08:58 I`m glad Sam is going well! I always thought he was a decent player but, in my view, he`s a bit `old school` - get in the way and clear the ball. A `no nonsense CB`. Lennon seems to have a real preference for CBs who are comfortable with the ball at their feet, so I think he left more because his style doesn`t suit what Lennon wants, rather than he`s not good enough.

Author: parsmad68 Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 09:53 Connor560, Wed 16 Sep 09:34 He was but it is interesting that McFadden picked up on small errors he was making 2 or 3 times in the first half that he did get away with. Undoubtedly he played well but when McFadden mentioned them, I had a thinking, ok I can see that these are some areas he can improve and we could exploit. Enjoyed watching him and Stenny have a good player forming for them. Post Edited (Wed 16 Sep 09:53) Reply |
| 7. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 10:09 Didn`t Sam have an offer from either Airdrie or Hamilton which would have meant staying full-time? I presume he`s part-time at Stenny but at least he`s getting a regular game. Reply |

| 9. Author: dafc111 Date: Wed 16th Sep 2026. 10:11 parsmad68, Wed 16 Sept 09:53 Also been booked in his last 3 games. A player with potential but no better than what we have. John Tod is a better prospect IMO Reply |
