Guest Roger Kint Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 If It's only a month and he impresses maybe a bigger club will want to take him on? Exactly, it will be more physical so will do him good to get a few games under his belt, nothing stopping us sending him to a better side later once he adjusts to regular football.

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 He should be playing in the Championship, really. Abbott's comments seem to suggest he'll play much and he seems an enthusiastic enough manager who's had his eye on him. Hopefully he'll excel, playing time at a Championship club during latter stages of the season should be his target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This lad seems to have pace and gets goals at junior/feserve level, but we have had many local players who have done this over the years, but failed to make it. The likes of David McClean in the late 70s/80s spring to mind...he even had the same ginger hair as Campbell and was raved about as a youngster who played for England Schoolboys, but he had his most successful spell in the game when he was at Darlington and helped them win promotion under Cyril Knowles in 1985.McClean was bigger than Campbell too. I have a feeling Campbell could go the same way as his size will go against him - you have to be exceptionally good to make it as a small forward, esp a central striker . I hope I am wrong, but there it is and good luck to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopra is a better more recent example IMO as I think at least he should carve out a decent career but hopefully not piss his earnings up the wall like chops did. Tbh though I think he'll do better than that even being held back and misused by us for the first 5-6 years of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wish we'd sent him to a club that aren't going to get fucking hammered every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturla Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It'll be a good apprenticeship for him Not sure it will do him good joining a bottom team in L1. Don't think a relegation fight is good environment to nurture a talent. St. Mirren would have been a better option for him. He played 45 mins yesterday in a 0-4 loss to Conventry.

Well it'll make him see everything isn't just Premiership waited on hand and foot stuff. He'll get to see the harshness of lower league football and players playing for their futures i guess.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 He's only on a month's loan. If it goes well it will probably be extended. If it doesn't he'll probably go on loan somewhere else (St Mirren were mentioned as wanting him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Imagine he trains with our squad so many days a week as it's fairly close. Saying that he's only played once as a sub since he's been there, so has been a bit of a waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Great....did he play in 2 games for them? In case he'll be forced to play in an official game for us(let's say injury or something) he cannot be send on loan again, right? At least for another 12 months. Total waste but can you expect anything else from our management? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
