Cosmic Joe Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Much of a muchness really, similar to this season. A couple of dross full-time sides (probably Morton and definitely Falkirk) alongside some decently run part-time outfits. I think we might see the full-time clubs continue to struggle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Yeah I think the key difference next year is QP will be massive favourites. Their squad is good just now for L1 level but I firmly expect them to make 5 or 6 summer signings that pushes them far above everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 They'll certainly have more money than anyone else in the league but Ray McKinnon is the leveller. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) We're basically going to have two Falkirks in the league next season (Falkirk and a Queen's Park side choked full of Falkirk rejects who're probably better than the current Falkirk side). They'll both play at Grangemouth and Ray will probably hoover up a few of the duds Falkirk jettison this summer because he's the least imaginative manager in the world when it comes to transfers. Surely they both can't fail to get promoted? Could be an extremely tough league. Not in the sense that it'll necessarily have any properly outstanding teams but it could well have a handful of teams who're more or less lower half championship level and no real mugs in it. There's usually one or two absolutely guff teams you can always rely on to finish above. If whoever stays up between Dumbarton and Clyde get their act together a wee bit, could be there's no obvious 'bottom 2' candidates next season.

el jubilado Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I’m sure the official QP line will be “season of consolidation”. However, I agree that there will be several new signings as there are areas of the squad that need strengthening for the step up to League One. Play off place the first objective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen's will have the highest or second highest budget in the league (probably by some distance if Morton stay up). Anything other than top 4 will be a failure and I imagine McKinnon would get the bullet for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QP fans happy with that? Given the money being banded about I'd be looking to get out of this league at the first time of asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll be hearing all about how they're just a plucky little club who took the brave decision to go professional and are exceeding all expectations so far over the next 12 months. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Would be delighted with the play offs but it will be another difficult season for us one which could have us involved at the wrong end of the table if we continue with our decline. I would imagine our budget will be a lot less as many fans will not renew ST’s. We have put together some shite squads recently with a decent budget so the mind boggles as to what we could look like next season.

Durnan was exactly who I was picturing when I wrote that. Which is nice because I can't think of Mark Durnan any more without picturing him sauntering nonchalantly back towards goal as if he's hurrying across the road with five bags of shopping as that Thistle player just jogged past him to get a one on one with the keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are right about Durnan. Connolly is decent but always out injured so they are welcome to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Falkirk should be happy. There's going to be a club in League One next season who everyone wants to see fail even more than them. Should take a bit of the heat off them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
