Perhaps not fully match sharp but I thought he put in a decent shift. Good work rate, good link up play and I think he seems to read the game quite well. Also gives us different options up front which is always nice.

I agree.

He looks nippy and he did seem to play himself into the game more this week.

He's even less of a target man then James Collins though.

***H18sry*** · 15-02-2014 06:33 PM

And he had a good goal denied.

***tamig*** · 15-02-2014 06:34 PM

Thought he did really well today. His pace put the defence under a lot of pressure and he chased down quite a few lost causes to get possession back for us.

Pretty much how we assessed Collins after his first few games.

***Heisenberg*** · 15-02-2014 06:35 PM

He's got much better control and hold up ability than Collins. He's also quicker. Would start him again next week.

***wookie70*** · 15-02-2014 06:37 PM

He looked far more of a target man than Collins to me! Started really well but faded later. Looked good running into channels and great run and cross for our second goal. On the basis of today he is a far better option than Collins.

Really?

He didn't challenge for anything, he didn't win a single header, and he didn't hold anything up.

What's your definition of a target man?

Hanyes and Heff next week please :-)

I thought he held the ball up very well, 2nd goal was a prime example of it

Been lacking this up front for some time. Liked what I saw last week for the 15 mins he got, and today will have done him a lot of good.

Ball stuck more often that not when played into his feet. Good touch and pace, so overall it was an impressive debut.

Would like to see 2 up top though. Think he would link up well with a partner close by him.

Your first sentence is incorrect on every point! He won several headers - on one occasion their defender went through the back of him but the ref played good advantage.

Some lovely touches and has pace which makes defenders nervous of getting too tight. Much much better than Collins although perhaps the 2 together may work.

A perfect description of him today.

You are joking aren't you?

Vast improvement on Collins and can only get better when his fitness improves.

You were at a different game!

**Pretty Boy** · 15-02-2014 06:52 PM

Thought his movement was good. Brought Handling into the play well, didn't win a lot in the air but constantly challenged and made it tough for the defenders. Held it up well and generally looked a menace.

Maybe needs a wee bit more composure but that could have been from trying too hard.

Hardly a vast improvement on Collins. The two players are completely different.
I would look at pairing them up as he has the pace that Collins lacks.
That said i thought he was very positive today and should have had a debut goal.

He plays in the same position so I think I'm perfectly entitled to say he's a vast improvement on Collins!

Defo worth trying this pairing from start against Killie.

**theonlywayisup** · 15-02-2014 06:59 PM

Don't think Hibbyradge is being critical of Haynes. More, that he is saying that Haynes is not a target man in the mould of Collins! I could be wrong though!

You must have been at a different game to me. Thought he held the ball up well in the 1st half, but you could see he was tiring in the 2nd

I did say he looks far more of a target man than Collins and not that he looked a good target man. Mind you in my opinion Jimmy Crankie is a better option than Collins in the Target man department.

My definition also includes passes below head height where he held the ball up well and brought team mates into the game. I thought he challenged for headers more than Collins does although I would agree he didn't win many if any. Neither Haynes nor Collins look like target men to me but Haynes does look like he could do a job up front.

***tanfield*** · 15-02-2014 07:07 PM

thought there were a few occasions when he could have gone through stronger in the tackle but saying that ball stuck to him pretty well in the first half.

seems a decent option up front for us though.

Collins isn't a target man either and said as much himself when he signed.

I've tried to back Collins on here time and again but Haynes dealt with the style of service we give far better today than Collins has in recent weeks.

lol Is that your stock response when someone says something with which you disagree?

Anyway, I liked you you were better when you'd stopped going to games...last week.
