Youngsters

With some of the youngsters getting good experience and reviews out on loan, who do we think is close to coming through for first team minutes? Or who would we like to see coming and getting a chance in the 1st XI?

McCrorie's getting minutes at a Livingston side on a good run, so Might be the case that he comes back to try and challenge for No.1 if either McGregor or McLaughlin goes, which probably isn't likely at the moment so might go for another loan next season.

Personally would like to see Kai Kennedy get a chance since I think he seems to be rated highly by the coaches and had great reviews from Inverness earlier in the season.

Thoughts?

Don’t see McLaughlin leaving, McCrorie hasn’t been playing for Livingston for a while. We need a top backup, McLaughlin would probably be the second best keeper in the league after McGregor.

Stephen Kelly is the one I could see having an impact. Or Nathan Paterson getting more of a chance to fill in.

Kennedy meant to have a poor attitude and don’t know how his loans have gone but still very young

McCrorie literally just played for livi there

Kennedy’s attitude is actually OK. His agent is the one that caused most of the problems. He had his head turned and let’s just say he got a bit confused over his priorities.

He had a good loan at ICT and is off to Raith for the second half of the season. He has a chance. Works his socks off and takes a doing but keeps going.

NYC definitely has something - I like him a lot. Again works his socks off. Focus and confidence won’t be his problem. Very mobile in and around the box and can finish.

Dixon is a dark horse for me. Good ability on the ball and has a great engine and attitude.

Patterson is more than good enough. Just needs games👍

A little bit off topic U-boat but it is unusual to start 4 threads but only ever comment on one started by someone else.

Just saying.

Fair on Kennedy I was just making assumptions based on Gerrards comment and presumptions made at the time. Clearly a big talent.

McPake was one I was excited to see but seems to have not progressed

It is so difficult to tell which ones will step up and make it.

McPake has definitely struggled with men’s football. He’s the type of player that needs a cocky gallus streak. He has all the talent in the world but maybe doesn’t have that confidence to make the most of it.

Kennedy seems to be a different character.

McCrorie only got back in the Livi team because he was giving the backup players a chance v Celtic. He's 2nd choice although i still think he's a good keeper but he needs another loan to a team he will be 1st choice.

I would like to see Gerrard give young players more chances tbh. Fook Barker let us see Kennedy next season, Fook Zungu give us Kelly etc
