  1. Hi Spartans fans- Been a couple murmurs on the qp forum that we might be signing Rhys Armstrong from yourselves ? Based on absolute nothing than a random post from someone but would be curious to know how you’d feel he’d cope with the step up if true? 

  2. Think had we not won that tonight, we’d of been in serious bother (still are tbf) but what a difference it makes just experiencing a win. Mad how it changes your outlook on the upcoming fixtures now 

    We deserved that tonight. Aye Dunfermline were down to the bare bones but we’ve played teams with many injuries (Morton particularly stands out) and made a complete backside of it. It was a proper team effort and maybe it isn’t pretty on the eye for the neutral. However, I’d take winning in the most horrible fashion over playing neat stuff and losing consistently at this point in the season 

    Paton was excellent up top and Spong was fantastic in midfield. If only the guy had some pace and he’d not be at this level. For a wee guy, he’s incredibly strong in the tackle and is more or less very successful in the vast majority of his duels. Really liked the look of Mauchin tonight at right back. He struggled against Fitzpatrick on Tuesday but it was his debut up against the most inform winger in the league in fairness. However tonight he was brave taking on his man, got to the byline on numerous occasions and defended well. Will be interesting to see if he’s trusted against Raith next week 

    Hell of a lot more work needed to stay up and even though I sense a stronger togetherness in the squad under Nuijten compared to Veldman, it’s imperative we still go and appoint an experienced manager going forward, alongside some key experienced signings

    I was looking through your side there and very surprised with the amount of players I hadn’t ever heard of. The last four on the teamsheet basically, who all seem to be youth players. A huge amount to be playing at once. 

    I take it McKinstry has never got up to speed? 

    Been the downfall of our season playing youth guys who are completely untested and from what I’ve seen, simply not ready for the rigours of championship football. Our right back tonight in Mauchin only made his first senior start on Tuesday and tonight Fairlie is making his first start in senior football. We’re simply not learning from our mistakes. Total arrogance of the club to think this will work  

    Mckinstry has been a real non starter so far. Quite clearly not match sharp as of yet but in his limited minutes, he’s looked miles off it. For a guy that was deemed decent enough in the premiership just last season, I’m disappointed with what I’ve seen of him

    Transfers Scotland reporting on X that QP are among a number of clubs keeping tabs on Andy Halliday. This is the exact type of hard b*stard we need in our midfield. 


    That said, I have zero confidence in him signing. Joy. 

    Would take in a heartbeat but no chance he’d join us 

    Also that Transfers Scotland page is useless, or at the very least take everything said with a pinch of salt. Convinced every rumour posted is found via pie and bovril or a Twitter comment from somewhere rather than an actual exclusive

    A better performance from Queen's Park. If we could just defend corners! Paton's first goal was due to his hard work and the second pure skill. Thomson again put in a great performance. Mauchin did well at times and got some crosses in and showed some pace. Defending corners a priority along with some help for Paton

    Car crash, gutless defending once again. Not better in the slightest for me, it’s the same old errors. If we could just defend corners, stop watching the opposition pass the ball and dribble at ease, stop taking a million years to shoot, stop playing children against experienced pros and stop continuing to have a caretaker, who was part of a shambolic coaching staff under Veldman guiding the team then we might muster 9th place 

  6. Defence is truly abysmal. It’s beyond pathetic the amount of corners we concede now. Why are we not learning at all? Why do we never have a man on the line if we’re more likely to lose the first header? Surely this week we have some movement on the manger front ?

    Reid after a couple of early positive  performances sadly looks a bit out his depth at this stage. Mauchin tried his best but again isn’t cut out for championship football at this stage of his career. Lucas McCormack as the first sub, seriously? Showed nothing as of yet that he’s going to change our fortunes.

    Going to maybe assume Hepburn is finished now at the club ? Wouldn’t be surprised to hear his loan has been terminated this week. Not even in the squad 

    Also Ruari Paton has not and is not anywhere near close to being a problem for us this season. A 1 in 2 ratio for comfortably the worst side in the league is pretty astonishing and his free kick highlights the ability he has. 14 goals in all comps in half a season at the club surely an indication what numbers he could produce in a decent team. Only 4 goals off what Simon Murray produced by the end of January for what was the best team in the league at that point in time. 

     

  7. Only started watching the stream a minute before thistle’s opener. Absolute stinking defending once again from a corner. Reid nowhere to be seen. Worst bit is that we’re losing headers to guys who aren’t even particularly tall in stature 

    An absolute gift from Sneddon who I’ve never rated tbh. Goal should do the world of good for Paton. Thistle have since looked slightly shaky but can’t see us not conceding given we fold under any sort of real pressure

    And just a note to say that Jack Thomson deserves to be playing somewhere better. Many of us were surprised when his loan turned into a contract but he’s consistently been one of our better players since and once again yesterday, the best.

    Totally agree. I thought he was superb first half and his pass that set Thomas completely free out wide was outstanding. A shame Thomas made a complete back side of it. No chance he sticks around in league 1 with us. Incredibly worrying given he’s a central midfielder that he’s now also our best centre back 

  9. It’s abundantly clear that the players are gone mentally. Another week where we went from reasonably competent to an absolute disgrace between half time. I don’t think players have chucked it necessarily but there’s a few hiding in there when the going gets tough. Players acting busy but actually having zero impact or real desire for the team. We immediately started the 2nd half playing deep and yet we still end up getting sliced apart ? The amount of errors leading up to both of Airdrie’s goals were comical. Literally 20 seconds before the equaliser, Bannon produced an absolute howler only for Todorov to miss a sitter. Yet we still go and concede the resulting corner (how many corners have we conceded now in the exact manner?) The final goal was embarrassing. We were playing like we were chasing the game and had almost nobody back. Beyond forgivable given that we’re never learning 

    The manager has to be appointed as a matter of urgency as in before thistle on tuesday. We cannot go into arguably the most important and critical transfer window in our professional era and not have a manager making decisions to improve our dreadful and threadbare squad. If we show no urgency, we’re obviously content with league 1 football next season 

    January window approaching and we honestly need a good 6-7 players. Even though he’s had a less than impressive loan stint at Cove, I’d be looking to recall Williamson just an option on the bench when Paton is knackered.

    x2 central (experienced) Defenders 

    Experienced central midfielder 

    left back 

    Striker (maybe even 2) 

    winger 
     

    Given the lack of game time for both, I wouldn’t be surprised to see either Hepburn’s loan terminated or Healy loaned out. Both totally out the picture 

     

  10. I think Paton is unfortunate that’s he’s probably still going to be compared to Simon Murray by some fans. Heard so many times at games throughout the season “oh he’s not quite Murray though isn’t he” “he doesn’t run about like Murray”. We’re playing in a much worse system this year which I think even Murray would struggle in all honesty. Paton’s goal return and efforts is commendable given the context of our season. Give him time and the right players around him and he’ll be excellent over his 3 years 

  11. Been begging for a defensive performance like that for months now. We stopped the tippy tappy nonsense from the goalkeeper, defended our box confidently and the work ethic was superb. Nuijten’s been highlighting the need to do the jobs that don’t require talent more often and tonight was a clear improvement in that aspect. Yes, we did do virtually nothing going forward but until the defence is sorted, we’re going to get relegated with minimal fuss

    Everyone played their part tonight but my motm was Jack Thomson. Placed in an unnatural position and absolutely bossed it. I’m such a Thomson fan when he’s on it and tonight reinforced my opinion he could go on to a higher level in the near future. Such a powerful player. Shoutouts to Longridge and Ferrie who were also excellent 

    Dundee United were quite rubbish.  Naturally as the game was progressing, I was expecting a moment of quality to separate the two sides but United actually seemed to get worse. We were beginning to win our battles in midfield and ultimately Paton should have buried his header from an excellent delivery. Tony watt particularly was chronic up top. Looked unfit and disinterested 

    Far from perfect but we needed this result and a sign there’s some resilience in the players. There’s a competent team there if the right manager comes in and he’s gets appropriate backing to sign 3-4 key players in January. Sets up the Airdrie match nicely next week. Huge game

    As far as I know he's struggled with injuries recently. He hasn't played for Kelty in at least a couple of months.

    I mean I’d be worried if he actually ended up getting registered instead of signing better players but if he’s maybe coming back from whatever injury he had, I don’t think I’d be majorly against the idea of him being cover on the bench 2nd half of the season. Takes the weight off guys like Reid who’s going to get thrown in the deep end very soon with Fox out and Tizzard being absolute gash

    See to be honest, this isn’t a terrible shout. Crisis management stuff, but we are where we are. Played 150 in the Championship and is only 30, so you’d hope his legs still work. 

    That’s my thinking. I can’t see a scenario where he’s part of a coaching team that hasn’t appointed a new manager, it just doesn’t make sense. The most logical thing i could think of considering he’s chucked Kelty is that he’ll be combining young qp, alongside a full time playing role if required.
