I'm not going to blame Murray for a poor attempt at a header, because that's not one of his strengths.
I'll partly blame Mallan for starting to close their player down, then deciding to stop because it was Vela's man, and I'll mostly blame Vela for doing nothing at all.

Jack Ross saying he’s been really impressed with Fraser Murray, wonder if we’ll start seeing him get more of a run out.

The problem I think Murray has it that it's hard to work out what type of player he is, where he fits into a team and in what formation. I remember John Collins having the same sort of issue with Dean Shiels.
He's not a striker, he's not a central midfielder, he's not a winger. I suppose I was starting to think the same about Newell and he really seems to have come into his own as part of the diamond.
Murray's biggest problem is that the way we play he's probably most naturally suited to playing behind the strikers and there is some serious competition for just one place in there.
It's a shame because I really like him as a player, he's clearly got an awful lot about him (as did Shiels) but I just don't know where and how we accommodate him. And some of the criticism he has received for very minor errors has been ridiculous.
I do think that like Shaw he really needs to be playing regularly very soon, he's not going to improve much further playing in the reserves and only getting very fleeting appearances in our first team.

What formation do you need to play to accommodate one of those?

What is everyone’s opinion of him?
A lot of managers seem to rate him and see him daily in training but for me I’m just not convinced.
When he first came on the scene I thought he looked very good but now when I see him come on he seems to not make much of an impact. He’s neat and tidy on the ball but just doesn’t seem to do much else.
I’m not convinced that he’ll beat an opposition player with pace, strength or in a one v one scenario.
He is quite good at receiving the ball on the half turn but for me if he wants to play the number 10 role he needs to be a much bigger threat.
Interesting he slotted back into centre mid yesterday when Slivka went off, albeit was when we went all out attack but could we see him there in future?
I see him as similar to Danny Handling in a way, a lot of people are desperate for him to excel and be a first team regular but we’re not seeing much.
21 in May so he’s not the youngest, desperately needs a spell on loan playing first team football consistently to get some confidence.Last edited by Unseen work; 23-02-2020 at 06:38 PM.

Thought he was thoroughly meh on Saturday. Needs more games, but not convinced he will get them at easter road. Think he'll make a career out of football, but not necessarily at any higher level.

We already have five pages of debate on the ability and future of Fraser Murray, do we really need any more at the moment?

Fwiw most the previous pages are discussing when he made a mistake which cost a goal

I rate fraser highly and think hes been hard done by. He's been unfortunate with injuries and hecky not playing him after saying how highly rated he was. Still think with some decent game time he can be a good player

When newell got injured I actually thought Fraser would have been a better direct replacement than Lewis in that formation. Lewis is a solid defender but the good thing about 3 at the back is allowing the wingbacks to be very attacking which isn't Lewis strength

I want to rate him but I don’t. Last time I saw him was when he came on against Dundee U at home in the cup replay, some nice touches but didn’t track back, no really press one energy.
I hope he proves me wrong though!

Think a loan would benefit him massively.

Showed promise when he first broke through, was badly managed (Should have either been given game time or sent on loan), and hasn’t improved much in the last 2 years as a result. Sadly, don’t think he’ll ever make it above being a squad player getting the odd 20 mins here and there.
Think he’s an example of the wider questions about our youth set up and pathway to the first team over the last decade or so.

All I'm saying is I didn't think he was a standout either way. Didn't hugely impress me, didn't think he was terrible.

A season in the Championship would be ideal for him. We have loads of central midfielders and right now he's behind them all imo.

I'll stick my neck out and say he won't make it at Hibs.
