stewaj3 1,423 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thought he was great when he came on. Drew a few fouls and a great goal. He has been off form and some have said they would consider selling him, for me though he is one of maybe only 2 or 3 that can win a game on their own for us and that is why for me we need him.He doesn't show it as often as he should and he is inconsistent, but a run of games and I've no doubt he'd score and set up a lot of important goals for us.

STEPPS BOY 54,673 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A frustrating player..Has got talent but his attitude sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney 241 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Good player but at the moment behind Aird in the pecking order, and rightly so as I thought Aird was brilliant tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 30,919 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 An impact player. Almost always plays better as a sub IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is a football player in there that's for sure.Needs a run I reckon.Be an important player when we get back to where we belong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Him and shiels would be our best 2 attacking players if both on form Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This is the guy that terrorised Liverpool defenders at Anfield two/three years ago.There's a player - no doubt about it. Like Ally said, he needs a run of games injury free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewaj3 1,423 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 An impact player. Almost always plays better as a sub IMO.I agree with the impact bit, but I think on his day we have no better attacking players. Unless you count our left back mate!I don't think we've got the best out of him so far...I think he is a confidence player and if he had a run of good games he'd be more influential. Whether we can get that out of him... I don't know.One hint that pees me off with the way we play is a player like him has so much pace, yet we never try through balls for him to run on to. Other than lee Wallace there's not many folk that we actually play through balls to. Fraser aird now and again but mostly it's just ball to feet or hoofball. Players like these and nicky law should be bursting a gut to get forward. Our play is so predictable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger ranger 922 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 His goal tonight aside, I just don't rate him and I doubt I'm alone there.I was at the game tonight, he does have talent and put their defence in trouble as soon as he came on, we badly need someone who can play football up front.

RD.1872 885 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just too inconsistent for me. Think we rated him highly when he was at Hearts because everytime he played against us he tore Whittaker a new one! (Which wouldn't be hard) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatDolphins 5,259 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I was really excited when we signed him and was at his debut where if scored to cracking goals he I remember right. Unfortunately he has done next to fuck all since then. The line of player who pops up now and again with a great goal but disappears when it's not going well. With any luck he'll be gone at the end of the season with Shiels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo 588 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If he's fit I'd definetly start him, inconsistent yes but has more quality than all our other wingers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 27,910 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Good player but at the moment behind Aird in the pecking order, and rightly so as I thought Aird was brilliant tonight.No-one on that pitch was brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackandra 732 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Airds problem is there is very rarely an end product, beats a few men then the ball jst slips away. And i wont mention the woeful crossing. Only a young guy though so deserves time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarkev 3,540 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Templeton is IMO a wasted talent! He has bags of ability but doesn't seem to have the drive and desire to get the most out the game! Most wingers are plagued by inconsistency but he is in his mid 20's now and has arguably went backwards.....he is almost ideal as an impact sub but for where we are and the money he is on he has to do more! I personally would try and move him on and give McKay a run and try to develop his consistency! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwellGers 10,750 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I enjoyed Temps' goal tonight, he's got pace and power. I really wish he could find consistency there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So many times we have celebrated a goal from him with "maybe this will kick him on" and yet its not happened. Hes got the talent but unless he can match that with heart and drive EVERY game he just wont make it. Prove me wrong David, please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
