They had a great end to the season and if they keep most their players and bring in a couple I reckon they'll start the season like they finished this one. I'll be really surprised if Falkirk don't improve. And I don't think Alloa will be a pushover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect them to lose one or two players of the better players and would be surprised if they could maintain this season's form into next.

BIGdavieT Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I just bought my season ticket. I didn't have one last year and I would probably have preferred a different manager in place but I still think the club deserves as much support as we can give them. Despite my reservations GN will also have my full support at least for the start of the season! He has recruited well so far but then again recruitment has always been one of his stronger skills... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory his crossing is a brilliant asset, although I may have been getting him muddled up with Danny Mullen who was also at Livi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeJay Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Mark Durnan leaves Dundee United...now whether he could be tempted back to Queens depends a lot on what our wage structure will be for the forthcoming season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDust Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 21 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: There is only one part time team (Alloa, who are unlikely to have a Brechin season). With Falkirk unlikely to be a car crash this time and either Thistle replacing Livi or Livi staying down on the back of big prize money there is a good argument its a stronger league. I think you could argue that 8 teams will be at least gunning for at least play offs I wouldnt write off Ayr fully as I have appeared to, realistically they will be focusing on anything above 8th There is also usually a team that has a car crash season within the league, I am sure the money will be on Morton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Mark Durnan leaves Dundee United...now whether he could be tempted back to Queens depends a lot on what our wage structure will be for the forthcoming season. I thought he would do better at Tannadice than he has done. He really does some silly things especially when he is "last man" - if he could cut out the stupidity and just accept that you can't win every ball he would be huge asset.Notwithstanding what I have said I would have him back in a heartbeat because overall he was a big asset for us when alongside Dowie and Higgins. Not sure if budget can stretch this far but his aerial presence would help us at both ends of the pitch. If we could somehow get him back we would have the foundations of a very promising squad indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see a post with positivity. Hope the season ahead rewards you. So far i am happy with the recruitment made i look forward to our next signing. Durnan would be a decent signing and think he would come back stronger and better than when he left us. He in a poor utd team this season but i think in our team with fordyce next to him that would be a decent partnership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go as far as that tbh. Let's consider some he has brought in. Rankin: poor imo. The phrase "headless chicken" applies perfectly. Got a 2 year deal which was about 18 months too long. Mercer, another 2 year signing. Potential bombscare, started off a regular then spent a vast chunk of time bench warming. Has put in a couple of good performances towards the end of the season though so hopefully improving, depending on severity of his injury. Rooney: probably brought in to replace the out-of-favour Mercer. Unfortunately proved poor at defending but made some exciting rampaging runs forward. Martin: Adequate keeper unfortunately plagued by injury. Good if he stays fit. Stirling: should have been a regular but became a bit-part player. Given a 2 year contract but loaned out to Dumbarton midway through his first season. Probably won't be in Naysmith's plans next season. Cameron (loan): didn't feature too much but looked a bit shaky at times. Beerman: probably signed as cover but hardly made enough appearances to really form an opinion. Looked like a bit of a wasted signing imo. Successful signings were imo Fordyce, Kerr(loan) Kane (loan) after a slow start, Thomson(loan) Thomas (loan) Todd (loan, now signed) Harkins (just signed) potential cracking signing but judgement withheld until I actually see if he lives up to expectations. I've probably missed a couple but my point is that Naysmith's recruitment has been just as much miss as hit and most of the successes were loans Edited May 15, 2018 by Fae_the_'briggs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
