Monkey Tennis Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1 hour ago, palmy_cammy said: We won’t really know how damaging a departure this is until we see who replaces him. If it’s Michael Paton then yeah, we’re screwed but it shouldn’t be impossible to find a player that can contribute the 1 goal and 15 appearances he managed. We are a better team this season with El Bakhtaoui in the side, no doubt. It hasn’t happened enough though due to his injuries. I’m not mourning the loss of a club legend tonight as many seem to be, but the end of a minor footnote in a thoroughly forget-able season. Probably largely fair, but it does feel like a bit of a blow. Despite having Dobbie, we know that the side can lack attacking flair. And despite the shortcomings that saw him play for us at all, El Bakhtaoui could provide some of that. He doesn't strike me as someone it'll be that easy to replace. This season could yet go in wildly differing directions, so to lose a player whose contribution most of us valued, is a concern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Our last two games highlighted how much of a loss El Bak will be. Against Ayr we played some really good stuff and could have won by more. Against Utd when he was absent we offered absolutely nothing going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Mac Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Disappointing to see him leave, seemed well liked by everyone and from the games I watched and highlights could really play. Need some squad investment and fast now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Really is a big couple of weeks now for the club, If they want any chance of finishing the season in the top 4 the manager must be given funds to add to the squad. We already needed more attacking options and with Bakthaoiu leaving it is even more of a priority to get a couple of forward thinking players in (even on loan) surely ther are players out there that spfl teams want to get 1st team football that will also improve our team. Hope Bakthaoiu does well at his new club he will be missed in Queens colours, He was a great threat going forward with the ball at his feet at speed and had great delivery at corners.

The parallels with Harkins leaving are a bit worrying. He was another who only showed what he could do in flashes, and was in and out of the team a lot due to injuries. But like El Bakhtaoui, he was our most potent threat after Dobbie and our season fell away when he left. Of course it wasn't all down to Harkins leaving. His replacement having a groin made of glass didn't help, nor did the injuries to other important players, but it shows we can ill afford to lose key players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Josh Todd available on loan and Ian McShane available from Falkirk. Could see one or both return back hame... Edited January 15, 2020 by jagfox99 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Todd, I’d have him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk are an absolute mess right now, I doubt it's all down to McShane's ability that he isn't being played. I'd have him back in a heartbeat, he'd instantly walk in to our starting 11. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him back in a heartbeat, he'd instantly walk in to our starting 11. I'll drop him off. Feel no dislike to him at all, although he splits opinion in our support I think, with probably more thinking he is shite. I dont think hes shite, I just think theres no place for him in our team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my recollection, the revisionism regarding Harkins went in the other direction. It was only after he left that people claimed he'd been lazy and ineffective. I think we did miss him badly, but lots on here suggested otherwise. Edited January 15, 2020 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Morton and Falkirk want Todd. If McShane can’t get a game for Falkirk then I’m not sure I want him back here. I’d hope if we showed in an interest in either they’d prefer to come back to a place they’ve had successful time at before. I’d take both, Todd would be class 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogs Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I can't see mcarthy being replaced we have effectively done that by extending osman contract Todd would be a good replacement if he was fit I think mcshane and Todd would be good signings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon, Pybus, Osman, Kidd and even Paton. I’d like to see a more creative player in the middle though but hey ho. We were always looking to be bringing in at least one player this window but with two leaving I’m just thinking about replacing man for man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidd and Paton nothing but cover for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
