SLClyde Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Willie Muir, Peter Grant, Stuart Morrison, Darren Lyon, Bob McHugh, Jai Quitongo, Will Baynham, Grant Gillespie, and Michael Doyle. Few in that list released from Queens Park I’d take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Phillips Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Maybe Ray could persuade his brother into joining us. Bob McHugh would be a fantastic signing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 There's not a single one of those I wouldn't take. Doubt we will end up with any of them, mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Really struggling to see how we will be relegation favourites over Edinburgh City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Our recruitment team should currently be bursting their collective balls to get any of those QP lads on board. Realistically though, they're more likely to want to stay full time, and any one of them would walk straight into the starting line-ups of Falkirk, Ayr, QotS etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they'll start off as bookies favourites to go down is because we've simply been in the division longer. They're well-backed, moving back to Meadowbank in the town and there will be a buzz about them. They also have access to East Coast based players so if a player is more that side of the country, they're more likely to join the third biggest team in the capitol. They have a promising young manager and the basis of a solid League 1 squad. We have... none of that. We can offer a general malaise? No stadium of our own? A broken board? The chance to be a part of a nationally derided organisation and a bit of a laughing stock? Some positive early business done, but if we don't see any further promising additions and some real board movement then the following season could be a very long one indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points but I'm sure I read the Meadowbank return has been slightly delayed as the ground in its current state isn't up to SPFL standard. Could be another spell at Ainsley Park initially unless they have a different venue lined up short term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the east coast littered with outstanding players for league 1 without a club? It’s not like we are 200 miles away from there either So I don’t see that being a major issue. I also disagree that playing for the third biggest club in the capital is a pull over us or any other league 1 team tbh. Peterhead probably the only exception to that one given they’re in the arse end of nowhere. the basis of our squad is better than Edinburgh’s. Edinburgh are a team we should be looking to take 9 points off this season. On the past couple of seasons results I would imagine we will be bottom half again but there’s still a lot of recruiting to be completed to top off the promising start. . I just don’t get all the doom and gloom when we are 2 minutes into pre season effectively, but it’s the same every year on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom and gloom was justified last year but I agree that there's no need yet this season. Edinburgh will no doubt improve but that team they had last season would struggle mightily at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
