er yir macaroon Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I didn’t know much about this player until today’s hat-trick, but he looks impressive in these clips. Beautiful first touch and looks strong. One to keep an eye on, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else would you suggest could be In the running for a call up ? I wasn't suggesting he doesn't deserve it, I am just saying it doesn't take much to get a striker spot in our squad. We have a serious lack of talented options up front that anybody scoring goals at any level(within reason) has a chance of getting called up.

Aye I agree with you we’ve been lacking up front for that many years, strikers who hit a bit of form get touted straight away . Shankland and nisbet have been making all the right moves though long may it continue Edited August 8, 2020 by loanhead-tartan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Ta Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Not heard it officially but there was a rumour going round yesterday that he had an ankle injury and might not play. Hope that’s all it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviebee Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It's not that long since Simon Murray started a season in similarly impressive fashion so maybe best not to get too carried away, as desperate as we all are to find an answer to this problem position.

ErsatzThistle Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Is Nisbet any good at playing up front on his own, holding the ball up, with someone playing in behind him or does he need to play with someone up alongside him ?

I know these things can be misleading but the video would suggest Yes. Some touch on him and seems strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Please god no.... he has only just started playing in the spl which is in itself a poor league. Granted he scored a hat trick, but it was against Livingston. If he scores a hat trick against Celtic and Rangers I’m interested but at the moment a mile away from Scotland. Or let me put it this way he should be a mile away but we do have a dearth of centre forward talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i don't think anyone is suggesting he should be called up right now but if he was to score a goal every second game then he would defo have to be considered for the squad.

sjd1972 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Get him capped in the Nations League and tie him to us. I'd imagine Northern Ireland are already rifling through birth records.🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hold up play is decent. You could see his development over the year at Dunfermline so hopefully he can keep up the progression at hibs and become an option 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyBlueScot Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Obviously too soon to consider him but I believe in being positive about players emerging slightly unexpectedly. We need to widen our pool of forwards and play those in form. McBurnie, Griffiths, Shankland, Dykes*, Nisbet, Naismith, Burke, Brophy, Stewart etc are hardly world class but at least there are options. Hornby and Appere could even join them. Very happy to sit back and watch how Nisbet gets on. *yeah, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I seen him a few times in League 1 and the Championship and he was always impressive and looked far too good for the lower leagues. Great hold up play, can score, and seeing him v Livi - looks like he's in great shape too - Not that he was fat, but he looks super trim right now too.

Burj_Alba Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Watched the match tonight to see how he played, didn't get much change out of Reynolds and Connolly. Couple of decent turns and hold up play but nothing really to get excited about. Best Scottish player on the park was the young Hibs left back ( again) Doig. Hanlon looked better then Porteous. Appere looked off the pace and the young United subs has little to no impact. There's time for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Aye, I thought he had a pretty quiet game too. A nice bit of skill to win a free-kick but not much else to write home about really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
