I would predict an old head (and Scottish) to come in to try to keep them in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The new manager, John Hughes, is not the most offensively attacking manager but two things he’ll do: 1) make Ross County solid at the back and 2) if it’s not happened already, will make Harry Paton as tough as nails. This is the type of old school Scottish manager I thought the club would hire. nolando, Nate3322 and johnyb 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days, not long after I became a regular here, he would definitely be in the mix. As it stands, I can't see how he's make anything other than a B camp at the moment. He is great to follow and support, though, and you never know how high a player might climb. baulderdash77, Nate3322, Ivan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering the same thing after seeing his goal for Ross County, which he took very well. I know his team are bottom of the table, and times have changed for Canada with all the talent we have, but scoring goals like that in the SPL at lease gives me pause for thought on this player. I think he has a pretty good chance of making the team if we have an All-European selection, but for now I would say he still probably falls short when assembling our best squad.

jordan Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wouldn’t mind if he moved now, he had 6 months left on his deal, looks technically ahead of his team mates when I watch. edit- nothing wrong with another 18 games at Ross County though Obinna and nolando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 He could probably replace Wotherspoon if we get that far down our midfield depth, but he probably falls just short. N1ckbr0wn, Obinna, Nate3322 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how many games guys got in L1, B3, Unattached etc. But in the past 5 years our midfield has gotten good and very deep as well. Paton is still pretty young and improving but he would have to step up a level and establish himself to get a call up I think. There’s definitely a good future for him though. johnyb, The Real Marc, Ivan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I think we need to look at history a bit. At 2011 gold cup we had Hutch, Dero, Simpson, W Johnson, JDG in the midfield. No one from unattached, but we did have guys from Burnley, Ipswich, Norwich, PSV, Horsens, Manisapor, Hertha BSC, Augsburg, and FC Koln. Edgar, Mckenna, Peters and Klukowski at the back. The cupboard wasnt that bare, we have just been continual under acheivers. And I still dont mind if the manager tries out some guys from lower leagues, you never know who'll be a star in the international game (Ali Gerba).

baulderdash77 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Time flies. It’s 2021 now. How about the 2013 Gold Cup - 8 years ago? In that tournament only Borjan, Edgar and Johnson would be getting a sniff on our current team (I mean the players at that time of their development, not the players overall) The cupboards were very very bare. Tell me about that roster and the time we lost to Martinique? In that gold cup we started : Borjan - Turkish 1st division Ledgerwood - A Swedish D2 player at the time Edgar - playing in the Championship Henry - a 20 year old at TFC but starting De Jong - Playing B2 De Guzman- Unattached- just flames out of MLS Will Johnson (C) - MLS regular Sam Piette - 18 year old playing in B4 Russe Teibert - 19 year old MLS substitute Marcus Haber - 20 year old playing League 1 Tosaint Ricketts- a substitute in Norwegian 1st division Kyle Bekker - a 21 year old rookie MLS sub Jonathan Osorio- 20 year old rookie MLS sub Kyle Porter - an MLS regular Issey Nakajima-Farran - a sub in the Cyprus 1st division Simeon Jackson - unattached Edit- club details.

baulderdash77 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Actually looking at that 2013 Gold Cup - Paton would definitely be starting for us starting in his 2nd season in the SPL. He would be a big part of our team. edit- those were such dark days. We didn’t score a goal that gold cup. It felt bleak in the aftermath of the 8-0 WQC flameout. Hutch and Hainaut were out of contract and declined invitations to avoid injuries. Cavalini declined an invitation. De Guzman, Straith, Jackson and Randy Edwini-Bonsu were unattached and joined to showcase themselves. De Rosario and Bernier were left off as they were deemed too old.

But that’s what you got out of the post? Damn it took me a while to dig all that crap up; not to mention the horrible memories stirred up looking at those game profiles *shudder* The point I’m making is our program really has come so far in the last 8 years. Poor Paton would be getting call ups in most periods of time except this one in our programs history. Ivan, Shway and Nello 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He's definitely a lock for the U23 squad. As for the senior team, at the moment the MF options are Piette/Eustaquio/Osorio/Arfield/Hutchinson/Kaye all fighting for three positions. After that you have Teibert who gets in if Atiba steps down. Then you have young guns like Fraser, Priso and I would put Paton in that group. gator and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Thats unfair calling guys unattached when they were in between clubs?? JDG went from B2 I believe to top flight greece, Jackson was coming off EPL Norwich going to the Bunda. Ocean was at Kaiserslauten, Hume was injured, Hutch wasnt there, Hainault was going from SPL to Bunda 2. Mckenna was still at koln. There was more depth there than showed up in 2013.

toontownman Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Either way he looks like solid depth in a year where it looks like we really need it. Also one to keep an eye on. Clearly doesnt look out of his depth so hope he stays in the SPL if Ross County go down. Watchmen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
