Manwithnoball Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 11 hours ago, Distant Doonhamer said: To be honest I can understand a support being frustrated by us making really heavy weather of beating a team who were clearly a good few levels below us. My particular frustrations in the first half were around two players who I rate in Todd who looked like he had lead boots on and Cochrane who was hugely careless in possession. That said we never looked like losing and as such it’s job done. It wasn’t impressive though. Was McGrory dropped or was it just rotation? I think he has to start in the 6 role as much more disciplined than Todd or Cochrane who are more attack minded. He protects the defence a lot more. Be interesting to see how AJ lines up at Raith. Really impressed with Max Johnston looks like a player who has pace ability and has a bit about himself. Good to see Lee Connelly get his goal he must be a nightmare to play against and should only get better. Paton gives us so much more upfront than Roy as he works a lot harder for the team. Liddle looked tidy enough but time will tell when he gets up to speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeplechat Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hopefully Queens and Partick agree to move the game to Sunday 10th as it’s another international weekend with Scotland at home to Israel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he is on a two year contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Be nice to get the odd Saturday cup tie too. Not a go at you but at those who arrange the fixtures.

I'm not as fussed with League Cup games and they could do Challenge Cup games on a Monday morning for all I care about that trophy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't you get just a wee bit excited if we get past Partick Thistle, or even further? In other news, Queens debutant Max Johnston makes the Team of the Round after the weekends SPFL Trust Trophy ties. Ex - Queens man Scott Mercer is also in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still go to the games if we're at home but I certainly won't be gutted if Thistle pap us out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Aidan Fitzpatrick signs on a one year deal.He showed in glimpses he's capable of magic. Hopefully we see that more often than not this time. The extra competition might make him up his game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his day can be a game changer but just needs to be more consistent. Hopefully means we can push Paton up top now. Credit to Queens, we have an excellent squad this season.

temps15 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I still would like an out and out striker but I suppose everyone is looking for the same thing. If Fitzy can show a bit more grit when we are under pressure he will be a class addition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the signing I was most excited about last summer, but he failed to live up to that. I'd be very meh about him returning here, so if I were a Saints fan I'd be pretty disappointed to sign him, tbh. This is what I said when he was training with St Johnstone. I stand by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 No denying he never hit heights we hoped for but he also showed in flashes what he could be about. Hopefully being punted by norwich is the wake up call. We have some options now tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fitzy can show a bit more grit when we are under pressure he will be a class addition.As ALOREBURNE said above, I expect it'll mean Paton features up front more often now. I think he was played as a striker predominantly at Stranraer. That's 3 strikers we have now, 4 if East is being used there rather than CB (which is a very 'meh' move IMO. I think he's been pretty guff any time he's featured up front but looked very good at the back). Junior has to start when he's fit as his hold up play and flicks are very good. I wouldn't be against another striker coming in but I expect it'd be a youngster rather than an experienced man. Which I wouldn't be against tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That's the spirit!It's a fairly risk free signing. No fee and a one year deal. The pressure is on him He only signed for us because every other team knock him back. Has to sort hod attitude out or he will join a long list of forgotten players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
