    Tommy Block

    With our need for a defensive midfielder highlighted yesterday is TB the man to step in to this role? I’ve heard nothing but good things about his Queens Park performances.

    Sometimes all players need are to be given the responsibility - see Ryan Porteous who has been up and down this season but has definitely been on an upward trend of improvement.

    If you’re good enough you’re old enough etc etc

    I would also like to see Tommy Block given a chance with the first team. Seems to be a laddie that has the head screwed on, and he doesn't look the fragile type. :)

    Great name.

    He's our player and should be given a try out before we sign someone probably on a much higher wage who may not be much/any better.

    I read on here somewhere that he is being played at full back by his loan club.

    Playing well at Queens Park is one thing, would rather he got the chance to develop in a lower league than stagnate like Murray and Shaw.

    He’s going to Raith on loan. He’s also now playing right back.

    I wouldn't necessarily say playing well in League Two is any measure of how good a player will be in the Premiership but I would certainly say he's worth a look. I'm sure Hibs will be tracking his progress.

    He's due back next week, wonder if he'll be included in the camp so Ross can have a look at him. Been playing inside left, possibly an option as opposed to Horgan, scores more goals and is stronger.

    At the recent Brentford game I thought Jamie was our outstanding player. He's improved physically & has much more game nous about him now. Hope he makes it. Tommy B also played well at RB & Raith will be a good step up for him. Lovely lad too.

    The Hibs coaching staff have switched him from midfield to full back. They believe it's a more natural position for him.

    Spoke with him and his father after the dev team game against Brentford.

    He was table guest at the Sponsors evening along with Lewis Allan and no-show Gael Birgamama. Humble, determined lad. Hope he does well - esp as I’ve got his signed shirt ;) didn’t do so well with the last one I came out the draw with - Osbourne...

    He’s been looking more like a full back any Development game I’ve managed to get to. Don’t know what he’s doing for Queens Park but they look like they’re struggling.

    Maybe that’s his best position, but he’s been playing in midfield for Queens

    Wasn’t it what Hibs were doing with him the fellahs post related to?

    I’m not doubting the poster, just thought if he was a full back in the making, we’d want QP to play him there

    Don’t think it works like that somehow. And you’ve obviously seen him play full back for Hibs?

    Would agree. Parent/child club would play him in similar positions. Would be odd not to.

    We’ve got a lot of young midfielders out on loan just now. Surely at least one of them will return and force their way into our first team squad?
