Bit of a riddy. As is not getting Partick Thistle’s name right. If it's more pictures of him in that black turtle neck then you won't find me complaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get he had a serious concussion back in July and he’s not been able to play but he’s not even mentioned as being out in previews anymore and doesn’t appear to be in any training pictures, whereas he was in them a few months back. A real shame how it’s panned out for him this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Donkey Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, NathanQP said: This is more open communication than we have come to expect, both on squad availability and signing intent. It doesn't take much, and although it's not detailed, it's probably all we need, and encouraging. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been trying to find any official club statement on when a new manager will start. Your post is the earliest I can find stating March. Was that a target date rather than a confirmed appointment? Was it a reliable source that told you March? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) As well as occasionally winning football matches, this is exactly the sort of thing I’d like to see us doing. Obviously Boab never played at Lesser, but the general principle of what they’re doing for worthy causes is excellent. We could do worse than having a look at how Bohemians operate and do a bit of copying tbh. Edited January 24, 2022 by an86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cross balls were made for him. Shame indeed. Edited January 24, 2022 by williebraveheart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williebraveheart Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 According to Daily Mail we are trying to tempt Jack Ross to become manager. Premier League in five years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly if he wanted to come to QP, he’d be here already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletar Spider Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Is everyone else remembering a totally different Will Baynham from the guy I remember watching last season? Looked like a decent enough striker at times in League Two, but I don't see how he'd improve the team much, as bad as Murray and McHugh have been/are. We badly need to sign a striker this week if we're to have any chance of even competing for the playoffs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those ones when you’re struggling for options and the guy who is out injured becomes a better player than he actually is, in a case of wishful thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully fit Quitongo is the one that could make a real difference in the second half of the season.

Off the bench and hopefully a few more Glasgow Cup/bounce games will see him get sharper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baynham certainly showed some promise and you would hope he would improve the team a bit but seeing him as the saviour is a tad on the optimistic side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s both an attractive and very risky gig for anyone looking to protect a decent reputation. Can see why he’d be taking time to mull over it. It doesn’t make sense pursuing Ross, other than nobody else is interested and it gives Dempster a notch on her belt. The last two games without Ellis have been just as bad. We started on Saturday with a more direct approach through the channels but it wasn’t sustained. The Dutchman’s got his work cut-out getting the old lags into his style in jig time. So anyone at Ross’ level will want similar to the way McKinnon wanted it; pay to win and sod the long-term. And that strategy has already been rejected, rightly. They’ve twice within 2 years employed a young, ambitious type only to bin them within a few months. Between those two options, there won’t be as long a queue as some think imho. The real acid test will come as the transfer window gets ready to close. Beuker has the power to sign someone for the desperately needed goal scorer slot. Given his whole philosophy on the game it seems extremely unlikely he would do that. He’d also be accepting responsibility for failure come the summer. I’ve a hunch the Committee wouldn’t be overly concerned about a new manager not being available until February and see where it all ends up with the squad we have. Tick tock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTQP1867 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 If we hire someone with the recent compensation expectations as Jack Ross then Willie Haughey is going to have to double his current financial commitment to the Club. I reckon that money would be much better spent on quality players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
