It’s not easy, it’s about building explosive power rather than just bulking up. Surprisingly lots of players and club neglect this side of the game. The Americans are way ahead when it comes to this sort of thing. I required a lot of graft though over and above normal training.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I seem to remember Hartley going on about it when he went to Dundee - the players preferred to have a bit of muscle that they could show off on instagram rather than actually be the optimum shape for a footballer, which involved being built less for bulk and more for speed.Last edited by Smartie; 04-07-2019 at 06:19 PM.

He was struggling with the pace side of tennis and by coincidence he found himself on a gym within an American football team and he did some work with a boy who’d never played tennis.

The problem with Oli is that he hasn’t been consistent enough at this level when called upon, hence why he hasn’t really started that many games. Compared to someone like a Ryan Porteous who when given the opportunity last season by Lennon had really stamped his place in the starting XI before his injury.
The only way Shaw is going to get game time here is by playing consistently well when called upon. We’ve seen it in flashes but not enough to make you think he’s got a really bright future here and will be on a number of clubs’ radar in a couple of years time. Needs to start grabbing games by the scruff of the neck and showing his true potential. He’s very good at youth level but we’ve had plenty youngsters like that in the past that were unplayable at youth/reserve level but when it came to the first team, they couldn’t cut it.
At 21 years old, he’s at the stage of his career where he needs to start playing regularly. That’s why at the same time, I don’t really see what the problem would be with him going out on loan for 6 months/full season. If he goes to a club where he will be a regular starter and scoring goals, it will do his confidence the world of good. I don’t see how that ain’t better than sitting on our bench and not knowing if he will be called upon.

Shaw played well. Just shows what getting a regular game does.

He played well tonight. If we got a fee for him it is understandable why he left but he is exactly what we need to put pressure on our front two. He always looked a decent finisher to me and we need that at the moment

I mean, he had to do something right to get into the right position to get his easy chance tonight - but how exactly did he manage to find that much space in our box?
That was probably the single thing that bugged me the most.
Ok, Hanlon shouldn't have been skinned the way he was and we could pick up on a few thousand different problems tonight, but that was the main one for me.

Still not sure where Porteous had gone.

Oli Shaw was consistently sub standard at Hibs and it was clear his confidence was gone.
We were right to push him.
But it’s the usual wet breeks and revisionism after a bad game.

If Oli Shaw was awarded that goal against Hearts, I think he'd still be here. Obviously lacks confidence, but scored some real quality goals. He's technically good and has a burst of pace, so I think Yogi will like him.

Shaw started about 2 games in his final 18 months. He never got a fair shot IMO.

I thought Hibs fans cut Shaw a length of slack that would not have been given if not for that fact he was a Hibs fan and development player.

Nothing against Oli but it was right for him to move on. He was never ‘hounded out’. Played well last night and good luck to him.

Had the ability but just his heart wasn't really into it.

Plenty dismissed him even after he left. Talking about how Ross County had wasted a six figure sum before the lad has even had a decent run of games for them. Comments like that are more to do with ignorance on their part than laziness on Olly's.
If Ross County stay up by a point last night's result will stand out as one of their more unlikely - he might just have paid back their investment. I hope so and hope he goes on to be a very good player for them.
