A dreadful decision to play at firhill. Obviously decent for pubs in the surrounding area but most importantly a pitch renowned for being garbage at winter was made to be the best decision? Should of always been Hamilton’s ground

Connor Smith is a really good wee player. He’s energetic, got good feet and direct. I’d imagine quite a few teams will be keen to pick him up in the summer on a free as there’s bags of potential there. He’s not ready to play for hearts I’d say but I could see him at that level in years to come. Here’s hoping he plays a blinder today

Noticed that last week. Moore wasn’t even listed in the squad prior to the match. Quitongo didn’t even warm up at any point during the game. Only assumption is that he pulled up in the warm up ? Need Quitongo firing to give us any chance of having success this season. Not keen on the idea of him being played upfront, need him out wide. A terrific player but hopefully this injury hasn’t stalled him too much

What’s murty been up to since rangers? I’d say it’s a risk in all honesty taking him on. He’s had success with younger teams but I’m unsure whether he’s actually got enough first team managerial experience. An upgrade nonetheless but i see slight similarities with Laurie Ellis in maybe being a good coach but an unconvincing manager Dalglish seems to have won leagues in his time in management, albeit a completely different league and culture but I’d feel much more reassured with someone with a track record of winning games and leagues for me. We’re obviously placing emphasis on youth but we still need the man in charge to have that winning mentality

At the very least it’s reassuring to know we’re still in the market for a striker whether it ends up being Griffiths or not.

If we ended up with Griffiths, it’s either going to be a masterstroke or an utter horrific signing, no in between. It’s been said for years now that a fit Leigh Griffiths will score goals anywhere but it’s quite clear now that he’s at a stage where there’s a genuine chance that he won’t be a full time footballer within a year or 2 from now, which follows the Riordan trajectory He’s not going to be cheap and there’s obviously baggage that comes with this but if (and that’s an extremely big if) he screwed his head and stayed out the limelight for 6 months then he should be more than capable of banging in the goals at this level as his ability is undeniable

I like Davidson, not a world beater but seems a decent player whenever needed. Morrison in terms of performances has really kicked on but I’m worried with his injuries. Couple of times this season he’s been subbed within 5 minutes of the game starting. I’m sick of having a crocked squad so would maybe look elsewhere

Seems a decent prospect from early research. Think he’ll do a job for qp ?

Add Thompson aswell cause he’s signed for 18 months. If I’m not wrong I read a few months back that Lewis Moore was signed on a 2 year contract which is incredible. Regarding Doyle, I don’t doubt he’s a great character around the club and in the dressing room. There’s no doubt he’s a fairly solid option at this level also but I’d be looking to move him on. His distribution and final ball has been extremely frustrating for a long time and I don’t see him fitting with the style of football that Beuker is looking to implement

Any cambuslang rangers fans able to give some info on Scott Williamson as a player? Noticed he’s signed a pre contact at qp and has signed a 3 year deal. Outrageous scoring record at 20 years old but big jump to league 1. Here’s hoping he produces similar numbers

An attacking midfielder could quite literally be the last position we need reinforcements in but maybe Beuker’s thinking is longer term and that the plan might be to sign these guys permanently in the summer if they impress and are out of contact ?

Seems like we’ve signed a player on loan from Bolton last minute according to reports on Twitter. Ronan Darcy, attacking midfielder it seems

Well if that’s what we’ve waited an entire month for in the recruitment aspect then that’s absolutely nonsense. An unproven young striker to save the season is wild. The fact the official website actually say he’s an attacking midfielder is even more concerning as that suggests he’s not even a natural striker. I hope he’s great and makes a difference but I’d be lying if I said that I’m buzzing going into the rest of the season. Was hoping a few extra bodies would rejuvenate the squad and the general mood around the club

I’m really not convinced bringing a single attacker is going to change the team’s fortunes drastically. Mcbride might turn out to be a great addition but it’s a hell of a lot of pressure for him to arguably salvage our season. Was going into today thinking a minimum of 2 additions would be a certainty. Still a wee bit of time still I guess

How did Callum Yeats get on today? I genuinely have no opinion of him since he’s barely had any minutes throughout the season for us. Disappointing he didn’t get more of a chance given he was highly rated at stenny last year

Would certainly say Gillespie and Connell’s performances have fell off in recent times but I really do feel for Brown. For me, our most naturally gifted and talented player yet I don’t think anyone knows how to utilise him to his full potential. I’m really not a fan of him being punted out wide to accommodate others because if used properly, he’s an exceptional central midfielder for this level. I wouldn’t be adverse to putting him right behind the striker, pulling the strings between the midfield and attack In terms of Gillepsie, his performances in recent months are suggesting he’s on a one way road to part time football. Miles off it

That’s the exact feeling I get. The club seem to have written off any ambitions for this season in preparation for next season. Will that work long term, quite possibly. However, when you’re paying £18 a head for home games, you absolutely expect the club to try their best to achieve a positive outcome at the end of the season The communication with the club has gone beyond the point of being angry now, it’s just the norm and I’ve just fully come to expect that this will be the way things are run going forward. When you break it down, it’s been an absolutely shambolic season across the board Delays in the new stadium Renting a pitch to suit “Ellis Ball”. A pitch which is renowned for being utterly hoaching in winter Appointing a manager who was so far out his depth and to replace him with absolutely nobody Underperforming and crocked squad of players on very generous wages, alongside top class facilities Zero communication from the hierarchy which has naturally led to several fans questioning Leanne Dempster and the way she works. Certainly a successful operator based on previous work but she’s done nothing since arriving that justifies fans to stay on side with her. Guess the only way is up from here…

Seems like most teams are doing their fair share of business this month regarding transfers, particularly our nearest rivals for the play offs in Falkirk who seem to have revamped their squad. Pathetic that with our garbage form, we’ve done absolutely nothing to improve things on the playing side. You look at the bench each week and there’s literally nobody you’d bring on other than a half fit Quitongo Surely some players have got to come in before Saturday? Will be fuming if we end up with nobody

I really liked him last season. Had to bide his time to get into the team 1st half of last season but once he broke in, he looked considerably better than our current left back in Robson. Good going forward and intelligent on the ball but he’s also very solid defensively. Naturally I thought he’d be returning to qp this season given our ambitions but for some reason we didn’t go for it. Even going into this month and reading that several league 1 sides were after Paterson, I thought QP would be almost certain to be interested considering how underwhelming Robson has been this season. With the manager situation looking pretty bleak, we’ve really fell behind with the recruitment. Great signing for airdrie

The Simon Murray of his hibs, Dundee united days you’d bite your hand off at league 1 level but unfortunately the serious knee injury he picked up playing in South Africa where he was out 15 months has really hampered him. From what I’ve been told there’s a real possibility that he’s going to be out for the rest of the season and hasn’t played since early December since injuring himself against Montrose Prior to injuring himself, since that game where he scored at Falkirk, he’s genuinely been dire for a lot of games. Very likeable player with his effort but he just doesn’t justify anywhere near his probable high wages for this level. It’s a real shame as I was expecting him to hit the heights of Goodwillie, megginson etc this season

Was literally the most predictable outcome possible. Play alright and take the lead to then chuck it away soon after. I actually thought we played some decent stuff which looked considerably better than Ellis ball but the lack of striking instinct is incredible. So many occasions we got into really good positions for nobody take a chance. Bob mchugh cannot start anymore, he’s absent in almost everything and adds zero value. Get a striker ASAP Special mention to Charlie Fox who continues to be exceptional at the back despite the dross surrounded by him. Genuinely looked our most dangerous player as the game went on and his driving runs and accuracy of pass to go with it is brilliant. If there’s any player in our current squad we should throw our money at, it’s him

Genuine question, is Will Baynham actually still at the club? I get he had a serious concussion back in July and he’s not been able to play but he’s not even mentioned as being out in previews anymore and doesn’t appear to be in any training pictures, whereas he was in them a few months back. A real shame how it’s panned out for him this season

It could just be a massive coincidence with the quantity of injuries but what we also do need to remember is that to get a few of these players down to league 2 at the time, we were warned about their injury history prior to joining Slater- Many injuries prior to signing Quitongo- dodgy Knees, think he’s had 3 serious knee injuries in his career already Grant- A career riddled with injury, probably why he ended up league 2 with us Murray- Joined when returning from a 15 month Injury and has had a number of niggling injuries since returning Kilday has had spells out injured also and he’s had long spell out injured throughout this career This doesn’t even include Lyon, Baynham being out the entire season so far

Honestly don’t have a clue how this will pan out. Our performances against Clyde have been shambolic this season and if it wasn’t for 2 dreadful Goodwillie penalties, we’d of probably lost both games. We capitulate at any sort of pressure and ultimately Clyde will have every right to think they could win this I’d be shocked if we don’t have at least 1 new player in for Saturday. Yes we don’t have a manager but this squad is taking us straight to mid table mediocrity. Not only that but the consistency in key players getting injured is ridiculous. “Injury prevention work” by the sport scientists really has paid off this season. That’s brown now getting injured from Saturday aswell, it really is concerning. In terms of how we lineup, I wouldn’t be adverse to getting Davidson back in at right back and at worst have Doyle at right centre half alongside Fox. Doyle has bundles of energy but his crossing and passing has been chronic in recent weeks, whereas Davidson linked the play brilliantly against Falkirk and created a number of openings for players. Gillepsie and Longstaff quite simply both need to be dropped. Gillespie started the season off strong but he’s tailed off massively and he consistently losing the ball in key areas which is helping nobody. Longstaff has the odd decent touch but there’s so many aspects lacking in his game. Such a disappointment considering he’s been brought up from Liverpool. Hopefully longridge is back and maybe an opportunity for Quitongo to start and get 60 minutes or so under his belt ?

Which equates to 18 points dropped. Astounding stat considering we’re only 19 games in
