Plenty players who were given more time for doing less. Jenks, a good example. JET played plenty minutes at the start even though it was clear after the second game he wasn't enough. McCrorie, Bates etc have all kept their positions despite being shite. Ferguson hasn't been good overall. Link to comment

According to a poor manager who re-signed players like McGinn, Devlin. Signed some fucking proper crap, like Samuels, Jenks, guys who've hardly played first team football if at all. Longstaff has around 20 appearances in an elite league, its pure politics why he isn't getting a run of games, but other, far worse, players are. Link to comment

I've no doubt he has ability but clearly he is a young lad severely lacking in confidence. I also believe Glass hasn't managed him well and I thought his comments in the press the other day regarding Longstaff shouldn't have been made public. Unfortunately, Longstaff was at fault for the goal we lost against Dundee Utd the other week. I felt he could have done more to get back and prevent the shot. The manner in which he lost the ball in the lead up to the goal was frustrating as it really could have been avoided - basic stuff for any footballer. He's clearly not doing enough in training to get a start which has possibly irked Glass about him. Same may apply for Samuel. Personally I've been underwhelmed and disappointed given his supposed pedigree and I have to agree with others that terminating his loan in January is the right move. I suspect a different manager might get performances out of him. Link to comment

IMO he's not as shite as everyone is saying and Glass digging him out yesterday is brutal. If Ferguson is sold in January we might need him, although he'll probs get sold back. If Brown or McGeouch are injured good chance we'll see him tonight. Link to comment

Don_Corleone Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Longstaff hasn't been any worse than Jenks or Samuels. All three loans have been abysmal, and certainly the latter two I don't think anyone really knows what position they're meant to play - I get the feeling Glass doesn't know either. Longstaff might be okay, but he's struggled to adapt and that could be for a variety of reasons. As others have said the problem is he's competing in an area where we've lots of players, and there are reasons why others are picked ahead of him - Ferguson because we're looking to maximise his value for selling him on, Brown because he's the captain. He's vying with the likes of Ojo, McGeouch and Campbell for a place in the team if a space is available. Glass seems to have a bit of a love in with Ojo for no apparent reasons, although given his lack of support with the sending off that may well be over. Ojo and Campbell have been deployed as cover in other positions. It seems Longstaff is more similar to McGeouch in that he really is only a central midfielder, and isn't going to fill in at right back or left back like others have. I think it's partly on Longstaff for not showing what he can do (because I assume he isn't as horrendous as we all think), and partly on Glass for mismanaging him. He looks like the kind of guy who needs his confidence built up - Glass' comments will likely just damage it even more. Link to comment
