19QOS19 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I like Stirling. It hasn't come off for him yet but his cameo against Brechin showed he's capable. He doesn't hide even when it's not happening for him. I'm sure it'll come good for him at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Stirling is another one of our wide players/midfielders who I wish would take the risk and have a shot at goals when in a good position instead of feeding Dobbie and Lyle who are not always in better scoring positions. Carmichael has been in good positions against Dundee Utd and Airdrie in the past two games but has opted to pass or hesitated too long and the opportunity is lost. Murray also doesn't seem to have the confidence to have a go when close to goal. We need goals from other positions, we shouldn't rely on our front pair to do it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingfaetheSooth Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just a thought. As Queens can sign unlimited International loans in a season, I wonder if it's worth the club building ties with English clubs in the North East of England and maybe the likes of Carlisle with a view to taking some of their players on loan? Might be more possible to do due to Dumfries being easier to get to than th Central Belt. I guess the issue might be that any decent player would be in demand elsewhere and may be out of our budget. Some clubs also put huge demands on the club that loans their player. Chelsea (for example) require weekly presentations at their training ground involving video analysis and dertailed reports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 He'll do fine if he can get passed a man and get a cross in the box and not terracing [emoji848] Dont understand this negativity towards Stirling at all.When he came on against Brechin he played very well and his delivery was outstanding. He had a couple of indifferent displays in ill fated League Cup campaign - apply the same logic and you could put a line through more than half the squad.Stirling has that rare commodity - ability. Let's sincerely hope that having made a great signing we don't ruin it by continually benching a potential match winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I might've done a job against an already beaten poor Brechin side though. Let's hope he gets a start tomorrow in a game he is right up for, turns in a man of the match performance and kicks on for the rest of the season [emoji170] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very good point, even when he wasn't exactly murdering his opponents he was still looking for the ball and trying to make a difference. Confidence is massive for him. 21 minutes ago, Fae_the_'briggs said: Stirling is another one of our wide players/midfielders who I wish would take the risk and have a shot at goals when in a good position instead of feeding Dobbie and Lyle who are not always in better scoring positions. As above, it's a confidence thing for him. He barely had a shot at goal in the first 4 months of the season but as he grew in confidence he was taking pings every time it opened up for him, which led to him reeking one into the top bin at Falkirk. He needs games though, persist with him and he'll come good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs also put huge demands on the club that loans their player. Chelsea (for example) require weekly presentations at their training ground involving video analysis and detailed reports. We already do this. Naysmith made the point in his interview after the double loan signing from St Johnstone that one of the attractions from Saints point of view was that we send them video analysis of the players every week. Given that we train in Hamilton though we're not really geographically any more advantaged than any other central belt team in terms of taking English players on loan. They would probably need to live in the central belt anyway. The biggest issue would probably be a requirement to meet their accommodation and travel costs rather than the actual wages. I would presume if an English team was happy to send a player up here to get games they probably wouldn't want much more than a nominal contribution to wages. They'd also want them to play regularly obviously so you'd need a young player from an English club who was definitely better than what you already have but not good enough to be involved regularly for the English side at first team level. Clearly that's feasible (Ayr had a couple of boys from Blackpool a few years ago for instance) but it's not necessarily something easily achieved at a full time side. We do however have a manager with good contacts in England so you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I think Stirling may get a start tomorrow. Gary should stick with the tried and tested defence, up front Lyle could drop out of the starting line-up, which is harsh if it does happen, but Kane came here to get games and I think he'll feature quite a lot. Martin Rooney Fordyce. Brownlie. Marshall Carmichael. Rankin. Jacobs. Stirling Kane Dobbie Maybe lacking a bit of height in midfield and up front, apart from Kane, which may give Dykes a chance instead of Carmichael or Stirling, but I think that would be a good line -up if we kept it on the deck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to be writing off some of our new signings ridiculously early this season. Stirling has barely had a chance yet, but his fleeting appearances have looked good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirling has barely had a chance yet, but his fleeting appearances have looked good. I can't see any over-critical posts regarding Stirling or any other if the summer signings. I would say most if not all fans hope/expect Stirling to come good and show the same form that prompted his signing. Everyone knows he has not yet shown that form and therefore hasn't featured as much as he maybe should. I have also mentioned that it would be good if Stirling, and other midfielders, took a bit of responsibility and tried for goal occasionally. Dumbarton fans say he was a slow starter last season but came good and also scored some goals. That is what I hope he can do for us too. I don't think that expecting that is being over-critical or writing the player off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Naysmith has already said he hoped to bring in 3 loanees so it's not a shock if he does. Give us this new guy's position at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumfries Boy(new acc) Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) If we were to get someone in,What position do people think we need? I'm pretty happy with the team probably the midfield is the weakest of that though as defense looks good and has cover as does in attack,Although Dykes and Murray can both play outwide so we have cover in every position Have to say I've been pleasantly suprised by Naysmiths transfers this summer Edited August 18, 2017 by Dumfries Boy(new acc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QoS_1919 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'd like a player like Aidan Nesbitt. Young, quick and very direct. He can make things happen, especially out of nowhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
