Velvet Donkey Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've heard a few comments that suggest we have a thin squad. I'm a bit puzzled by that as I'm liking what McKinnon has done to create quality competition in every position. Yes McHugh has been quiet but that's the way with strikers, he will come good, but it might take a fight for his starting position. We could have a bench which includes McHugh, Longridge, Lyon, MacLean, Quitongo, Paterson, Bell. That's not squad players in League 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streaming service was awful. They should be charging £2.99 max. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t moan about depth after chucking loads of players too! Edited October 31, 2020 by QPSpider1867 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hard graft won the day. We started off like an express train but Stranraer weathered it for 30 minutes and started to look useful. Strangely, they started wasting time at their own free kicks etc with half an hour to go when they were the better side. Another shut out with Muir doing the business again. Slater my MoM; never stopped buzzing and he linked up well with Gillespie. Galt with another couple of sublime touches and he worked well with Robson. Overall, maybe a wee bit disappointing but Stranraer were in our faces from the off and made it very, very difficult for us. Three points, shut out, top of the league - let's not be too churlish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been hyped up, will they live up to expectations? Why are they at QP? Money ? Is that a sufficient motivation? I only ask, as I previously said the Leagues are littered with said players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a sufficient motivation? 1. It is normal to generate excitement among fans with new signings. That's what you're supposed to do. You don't sign someone and tell the fans they're shite. 2. Because it's the best deal they could get for themselves, which is the reason most people take a job. 3. We'll soon find out, but the players looked well up for the battle today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonSpider99 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Some very fair points, absolutely agree with the comments on Grant Gillespie: he's always impressed me. Looks very tidy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Stamp Army Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Agree the main commentator was excellent and knowledgeable I just found his sidekick a bit biased but probably just a bit of over enthusiasm [emoji106] something we're just going to have to get used toHope the Elgin stream is better quality also assume there'll be some home fans in attendance nxt Sat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 So d spoiled the game but, didn’t think there was much between the two teams. great chance for Stranraer at the end of the first, other than the we failed to create anything clear cut. Looked organised at the back and Miller was really good in the middle. For the payers they have Queens Park didn’t do much for me although, fully aware had not been so windy they probably would of hammered us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSpider1867 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 McLean done so well to go past 2 men and have the composure to finish. Couldn’t ask for more from the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t think during the game that either team made many chances but the stats say different. Only seen 4 teams in the league so far but I’d say you’ve enough there for a run at the play-offs, promotion that is. As for us, the club’s still out shopping but. With a full-time squad working and learning together and a good medical/physio set-up and a short season, promotion is the aim with a flag on top the ambition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the amateur contract closing date there was a very short window and we grabbed what we could and then kept adding until as late as September. With the extended summer plus professional contracts beyond May quality over volume is the order of the day. McKinnon might still have a couple of targets but I’d say we’re in good shape for a short season in this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
