jamiesd Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 He's the classic, 'when he is up for it' player. Real fan divider Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The 15 minutes or so that he played upfront against United was enough for me to know he's not a striker. I didn't need to see yesterdays confirmation! Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 He's got the assets to be a good player for us. His hold up play, touch and control is decent for a big forward, but he struggled to make any impact in the last few games and was letting the ball get away from him too often yesterday. He needs to play alongside someone, he does not suit being a lone striker. Link to comment

It’s quite odd isn’t it - the only having one striker thing. I can only guess that the whole Glass/Cormack Chat about only bringing in players that want to be here and will really add to the quality of the squad means we are holding out for something special. I live in hope. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I was underwhelmed when we were linked with him. I was underwhelmed when we signed him. I am not surprised by how he's performed Link to comment

We're not going down the route of signing shite just for the sake of it. We'd be as well playing the youth players if we're bringing in pish. Link to comment

I live in hope. I wonder if the hope yesterday was to really play without a focal point up front - so just have JET, Hayes, Jenks, McGinn and Hedges all interchanging in the forward areas... which in theory could work. I think the experiment has proven that we need Ramirez leading the line, and the aforementioned players can play the supporting role. I'd say from what I've seen so far that JET is the best option we have alongside Ramirez at the moment - Jenks has done nothing aside from that one snapshot that resulted in the goal, and McGinn looks really past it. Hedges and Hayes I guess will be deployed wider or deeper. I also think Ramirez can't really play up front on his own - he would be equally ineffective without JET or someone else to link with. Bottom line is we need to bring in another striker so that we have another option. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think another striker will definitely come in. JET will probably only play up there in an emergency thereafter. Link to comment

Every game is for 90 mins+ and going with Ramirez and JET is not enough... although i'll not be surprised if we try to blag the Raith game without those two. Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 He’s a luxury player. Maybe ok at home to Ross County, etc. But in a game like Qarabag away, where you don’t have much possession, he’s no use. It’s the lack of squad depth that means we didn’t have much choice. We need that sorted McLennan is no use but he was better than JET tonight when he came on. Cormack needs to start walking the walk. 2 Link to comment
YorkDon Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I used languid to describe him the other week, and he's doing nothing to sway me from this. Link to comment

jamiesd Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 One good game in ten. Not worth the signing. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It’s not just JET, the whole team has lost its bit of imagination and tenacity it had when we first started this season’s campaign. We are certainly struggling at the moment. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 JET not looking too clever at moment. He starts at Tynecastle though. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It's a long season. I think he'll be better when we're playing less games in quick succession. Definitely in a slump though, form wise. Link to comment
