Flo just needs a goal or two. He’s a very good striker.

I think Shaw is good player for his age, but I can't agree with that comparison.
Kamberi definitely has his flaws, though. The main one for me is that he can't seem to control a pass very well. Put the ball in front of him to run onto and he scores some fantastic goals (e.g. the one at Celtc Park). However, most teams have the sense to close him down, hence the rarity of those types of goals.

McNulty certainly adding quality, good addition who will work well with both Kamberi & Shaw

I am in the Flo camp. He's been used and abused as a target man all season, he's a great striker in the right team with the right service.
Its not a case of Flo v Oli v Sparky. Its a case of getting the front men the balls they need to shine. Horgan was showing signs of doing that yesterday and Slivka is settling in to a key role.
It might be off the wall but how about , against Hamilton we play a front three of Flo, Sparky and Oli?

I like Kamberi but his first touch and control is way off,maybe he is trying too hard i don't know,but hopefully it will come.

I thought Kamberi did ok yesterday. As the game went on there were signs he and McNulty might work well together, so yes, looks promising.

I think saying Kamberi was atrocious is a bit harsh. He definitely looked short on confidence and perhaps took the extra touch when a more confident player wouldn’t have needed that. He is still having to deal with hoof balls up to him, and while he is great with dealing with these at times, he is much better with ball to feet as demonstrated a few times yesterday...
What I found disappointing yesterday was taking McNulty off when he and Flo were just starting to click... I see good things coming between those two up two.

How long do we go with the 'lost confidence' excuse, no matter who the player is?
Its turned into as big a .net myth as being 'injury prone'.

For whatever reason, Flo's confidence looks shot to bits. Playing through it might help or alternatively just destroy whatever confidence he has left. He's desperate to score, so snatches at shots and makes the wrong decisions, which affects his confidence even more. That also leads to more yellow cards as his frustration boils over.
He probably needs rested for a few weeks to ease the pressure and give him the chance to get his mojo back. I know we don't exactly have a lot of strikers to choose from, but playing McNulty and Oli isn't exactly scraping the barrel. On current form they're possibly the best option anyway.
There's a sports physchologist available at East Mains, isn't there? I remember reading about Sean Mackie (i think it was) making use of that.
Flo on fire is an excellent striker, but he's certainly not on fire just now. Playing him constantly isn't helping him any, so we need to try something different.
He's still young, so he needs helped instead of having more pressure piled on him weekly. He's clearly a laddie who's very much a confidence player and at the moment he's low on that. Looks like he's in need of an arm around the shoulder and a rest, rather than constant boots up the arse, as Lennon regularly did publicly. Neither wonder his confidence is low.....

I actually thought he was trying too hard at times to get involved due to the lack of creativity. Plenty times he was in space he got overlooked for a pop at goal from Mallan and Horgan.

If Shaw was playing like Kamberi... 2 goals in 17 games he’d be getting hounded even more IMHO because for some reason people have always been looking to write him off.
No doubt Kamberi shows nice flashes from time to time but it has been his continual failure to do the basics pretty much all season that have drawn the ire of some fans.
I would say Shaw and Kamberi both have enough about them to be good SPL strikers and there little to choose between them... but Shaw has been by far the better recently... and is a good bit younger.
It’s actually good to see a player being defended but some of the excuses made for Flo are verging on comical.Last edited by Shrekko; 10-02-2019 at 12:20 PM.

Kamberi was garbage yesterday but at least he’s trying again.
I’m sure he’ll come good as long as he keeps up the effort.

OK, cheers.
I thought for a minute that a certain former Hibs striker had returned.

Could be that Oli is being bled in gradually as a young player or is that too simple?

He’s bang on target for double figures in his first full season .. that’ll do me.

Oli Shaw
1008 Minutes played 168 minutes per goal
Shots on target 62%
Goals 6
Assists 3
Flo Kamberi
1715 Minutes played 343 minutes per goal
Shots on target 41%
Goals 5
Assists 3
So I'm curious. What is it that Flo does better than Oli? I'm not bashing either, I just think Oli gives us more.
