NM_1919 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Which raises another point. In the pre-match shoot-in the strikers, and sometimes midfielders too, take shots from about the 18 yard line in line with the centre of goal. Surely it would be a good idea to practice shots from different angles. Also the number of times the target is missed in this practice session is amazing. If you can't hit the target when you are under no pressure it doesn't bode well for doing it during the actual match. Cause most the players are trying to hit the top bag as there is no pressure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 To be fair, the mascot race is a more prestigious honour than winning the Irn Bru Cup. What Dougie lacks in intimidation he more than makes up in being completely rapid, only concerning thing is that an anthropomorphic Dog is probably faster than the majority of the first team... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Chris Millar of St Johnstone has been told he is free to leave the club. With our recent business with Saints wonder if a deal could be in the pipeline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ledley still not found a club since being released by crystal palace i think we could offer a deal there if Ledley prepared to take a slight dip in pay. Football at our level is better than no football at all. But Millar seems more realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Sir Stephen not play in the same team as Ledley, he could put in a good word for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth a cheeky approach. Whats the worst that can happen he says no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Goodness me. Am I being whooshed here or are some people seriously suggesting we should be in for a current Welsh international who played pretty much every week he was fit in the English Premiership last year? Edited to add "slight dip in pay". Edited August 26, 2017 by Skyline Drifter -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Fair play to him, going well so far. I'll still keep very cautiously optimistic, the scars of last season are still fresh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Some of our fans aren't happy unless they are pissing their pants over something. I'd imagine that would remain the case if we found ourselves in the last 16 of the Champions League. Last season is of course a lesson in not getting carried away (we didn't then either), but things are looking good. We are solid at the back and have goals throughout the team. Given the scale of the job required I think Gary Naysmith has overhauled the squad very well, identifying our weak areas and strengthening them. He has shown a good amount of tactical nous and flexibilty so far, and the signs are good that he has the ability to coach and improve players as well. Examples of that being Brownlie and Marshall who look improved players this season, and Carmichael who seems to have been given a new lease of life in a slightly different role. It sounds like Dykes had a good game today by all accounts as well. Of course we could just keep on slagging him off for signing Mercer, which does no-one any favours. Just whatever suits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Every manager makes bad decisions or signs bad players so he shouldn't be held to ransom too much over Mercer. All his other signings have looked good. This thread will probably be quiet tonight because the doom merchants will have nothing to moan about. What an outstanding result today! Praise where its due please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangemouth Bairn Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Very impressed with Queens today. You played some decent stuff. Tapping looks a player and Dobbie is outstanding at this level. Must be great for you having him at your club. Well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
