Pawlett

[barassie_afc]

he is certainly more effective, but the "old" mistakes were there again, but you might be right bad day all round

[K-9]

2 words for you;

 

Ryan and Fraser

Scott and Muirhead

 

John and Stewart

 

Fergus and Tiernan

 

But realistically Fraser came from nowhere and hit ground running. Pawlett been around first team for ove 4 and half years and folk want new deal on back of 3 or so good games!!

[Dandyesque]

pawlett isnt anywhere near as good as fraser , last night goal aside he was fucking awful

He's scored more goals in his last 3 games than Fraser managed

 

The point was more about getting him signed quickly if we want to keep him

[Dandyesque]

Scott and Muirhead

 

John and Stewart

 

Fergus and Tiernan

Fair dos with the players you have mentioned there

Pawlett however also had a good spell at St Johnstone and seems to have the injury problem in the past (hopefully)

 

I don't think many doubted Pawlett had the ability and pace to succeed bit his physique was a problem- he looks a lot stronger now

[King Street Loon]

He owes us.

 

We've stood by him during all of his 'growing pains'.

 

He's due us a good season or two.

[barassie_afc]

goals, aside and glad he is chipping in, his overall play and end product is still not good enough, I agree with KSL he owes us

[Stoney]

More goals from open play than striker mcginn has mustered.

 

Not sure what the problem is.

[newcastlered]

he won't see it in that way if a different club comes in from him, he'll see a big cheque, flashy cars and a better offer than aberdeens'.

[Stoneybloke]

he won't see it in that way if a different club comes in from him, he'll see a big cheque, flashy cars and a better offer than aberdeens'.

And most of his time sitting on the bench of course, just like Fyvie and Maguire. Unless he opts for the bright lights of the likes of Burton Albion or Rotherham.

of course he won't

haha they don't even make the bench! i very much doubt pawlett will attract any championship clubs

Aye.

 

Tackling and passing aside, Hector isn't good enough either.

[RTYD]

I'd be talking about a new contract right now.

[ferlaytio]

Peter Pawlett is our best player.

 

 

 

Not far from it. Can't believe all the PP haters on here.

 

Don't want to say I told you so but.......

[tommo1903]

Don't want to say I told you so but.......

 

Great minds Ferlaytio.

 

If McIness listened to people like us, we'd have the league sewn up by Christmas.

[buchanskii]

He was our best player when willo was in our team, I can assume that's because he had less responsibility in midfield and was mainly focused on attacking.

 

Since Smith has been used CM we probably haven't dominated games as well, thus limiting Pawlett going forward.

 

Once willo or robson gets back then he will shine again

[ferlaytio]

Great minds Ferlaytio.

We'd certainly have second place wrapped up and Vernon & Zola would never be near the first team let alone both starting!

[K-9]

Don't want to say I told you so but.......

12th of December 2012 he had played 1 game in 3 months at St Johnstone???

[ferlaytio]

....and I saw not a second of his game time at Saints. I base my opinions on what I saw over many games at AFC. For me Pawlett looked a far better player than Fyvie ever did - only time will tell I suppose.

 

Just like I think there is never a player in Clark Robertson but there is in Nicky Low & Cammy Smith.

[Stoney]

Nowhere near the same league as Eion Jess.

 

A good wee player but not worth breaking the bank to keep, not with nicky low coming through.

I'd disagree, He's been brilliant this season so far. I think he's finally starting to show his potential, he's still young and I think he can still improve his game greatly and become a better player if he continues in the same way so definitely worth keeping. He's obviously been working his arse off and it's paying off so club should be recognising that sort of attitude and talent. Not so long ago I was ready to give up on Pawlett, always felt he had the talent and potential but just never knew if he'd realise it. He hasn't realised it yet but he's doing the right things at this moment in time.

[The Oxford Don]

Funnily enough my dad texted me with that exact same observation on Monday night, about him being reminiscent of Jess. Certainly a similarity of styles in that both play like wingers but can be deployed through the middle. A very useful outlet for a team to have.

 

What Pawlett lacks at the moment, relative to the young EJ, is that ability to hold the ball with his back to goal. Whenever I see Jess in my mind's eye that's exactly what he's doing, twisting and turning all the while to buy himself a yard of space and then either exploding into that space himself or laying the ball off to another attacker. He was a genius at that, literally one of the finest players I've ever seen in that regard.

 

Pawlett is not YET in that class, but he is showing all the right signs this season of developing into something quite special. And he's cut-out the diving nonsense as well, instead choosing to stay on his feet and then berate the officials when the decision doesn't go his way (a much healthier attitude!)

 

Keep it up PP.

[rgudon]

its PeePaw nae Peepee

(tried the search function as im sure there's a thread already, but the functionality on that is AWFUL)

 

 

 

No it isn't.

[Dynamo]

*PeePaw.

 

 

Anyway, I agree. Our best player this season.

 

The loan to St Johnstone sorted him out (physically) I believe, in spotting what was going wrong. Believe it's the same guy that's now with us.

[Stoney]

I've always thought the search facility was always good,

 

I mean look how quickly i found this thread

[buchanskii]

My favourite player just now, love watching him.

 

St Johnstone fan I know didn't want him to leave them last year and said he was putting in some decent performances.

 

His contract should be renewed immediately, or else he will be snapped up if he keeps up this good form.

[paddy]

Peter Peelett?

[barassie_afc]

Still elements of headless chicken, but there is at least an end product to a lot of his play, worth a new deal however

[SkyeDon]

Playing brilliantly just now. I think Graham Kirk's influence has helped Pawlett, he's definitely bulked up and is back to the form he showed about 4 years ago when he first came to light.

 

Keep it up PeePaw.
