Whats the lad done wrong? Seems to have slipped right down the pecking order.
A grafter and gets back to defend as well as attacking but not getting a sniff.
 
Horgan will get his chance sooner or later and hopefully he'll take it. His chance will probably come from the bench first of all but if he starts to show what he can do then he'll force his way into the starting 11.
 
Agree with P I P.

The squad got better, there are few if any that can take a place for granted.
 
He always does okay but I sense he could do a lot better. Lots of effort and huffing/puffing but questionable end product. Hopefully he kicks on if/when he nails down a spot and begins to produce regularly.

I would personally like to see him in the side as I think he's been alright since he signed - better than some of the options.

I can only imagine the gaffer has more to go on in this regard though and Horgan doesn't fit as well in to his plans. Would like to see him given a go though - don't think he's had enough game time to impress this season.

Like all the lads that played against Accy in the cup and Burnley in the Senior Lancs thing, if they failed to impress given those chances (and most did) they have only themselves to blame!

Same goes for OConnor; Vermijl; Robinson.

Horgan is certainly ahead of O'Connor and Vermijl who look like they're here to cover injuries only. Same with Boyle. Robinson is just a bit off at the moment, he's been here before but has come back and I expect him to do the same again.

The thing with Horgan for me is he at least likes to try a shot. I'd expect him to play a bit more over the next 4 games and then it's up to him to take his chance but I think it's fair to say he's been a bit unlucky so far.
 
Would've expected Horgan to be a Neil type of player: Direct. Confident. Work rate.

He's always looked the business when I've seen him.

I think inconsistent end product defines a lot of the players who have joined us from lower leagues.

Honest as the day is long. But lacking a crucial slice of quality.

There-in lies the rub: that crucial slice of quality.

I was a little underwhelmed by Mavididi on Saturday. He looked (apart from two great crosses in the second half) a bit like Chris Humphrey as in all pace but little end product. I'm putting that down to little first team starting and requiring time to get up to the pace of the championship/getting used to his colleagues various positional preferences when running into space etc.

I just hope that A.N. isn't going to be one of those who selects players because he brought them in, at the expense of a player who MIGHT on the day might do a better job, time will tell. Too early to go overboard about any of these discussion points but still interesting to see/hear them.

Horgan was our best performer v Accy...and yes, I was there to witness the defeat.

Yeah, I agree. His game is definitely lacking a bit of rounding off and polish, that's definitely true - but then that's why he's a young lad on loan. What I'm hoping is that he'll mature over the season as he plays more, like you said.
