Big Badger Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Beuker is on the phone to AZ Alkmaar begging to be taken back. I really am struggling to see the plan. 5 loanees under 21 (6 including Darcy) - what does this say about our ‘incredible youth system’. Squad is chalk full of players who don’t seem to care (Gillespie, McHugh prime culprits) and we are drifting towards mid table or worse at an alarming rate. Should have been a great season for us but turning into an absolute mess now. Edited February 1, 2022 by Big Badger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has spent some time training with Benfica and other clubs like Bayern Munich have been watching his progress. Time will tell whether he can continue to improve and take his game to a higher level, as the football world is littered with promising youngsters who fail to make the grade. Good luck. Keep us updated with his progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to the play offs would be great but I'm not sure if I'd like us to win them. If we somehow manage to reach them then I'd be absofuckinlutely delighted to win them. It'll be a new squad next season, no matter what division we end up in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I'd be ok with a few loans to tide us over until the end of the season and help secure a playoff spot as long as the plan is to replace the majority of this squad in the summer, regardless of what division we find ourselves in. What I'm not convinced by though is that 2 (possibly 3 when/if Ronan Darcy is confirmed) relatively untested youngsters are the solution to the problems we've had for months. Hopefully I'm wrong and McBride ends up being the answer to our goalscoring woes. Edited February 1, 2022 by Zanetti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrison in terms of performances has really kicked on but I’m worried with his injuries. Couple of times this season he’s been subbed within 5 minutes of the game starting. I’m sick of having a crocked squad so would maybe look elsewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own view is that when we’re signing/offering deals to younger players, the thought should be whether they could potentially play in the league above the one we currently in. Whilst Morrison and Davidson aren’t bad players and I certainly wouldn’t be in tears at the prospect of either of them in next season’s squad, I’m not sure they fit that bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean but I thought Davidson was a standout at right back. He was much more effective at linking play than Doyle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSpider1867 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I'd like to see us go two up top (4-1-3-2 instead of our usual 4-2-3-1). Yeah we're hard to beat but boring as f@ck with no real goal threat. Get the new young lad Connor McBride (if he really is a striker) up there with McHugh and just have one sitting midfielder. Luca and Gillespie can flip a coin to get the subs bench because they've both been poor. We're not going up or down this year imo so at least give us something to enjoy. The lack of urgency and belief to go for goal on match day is boring.. Edited February 1, 2022 by QPSpider1867 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle was a stand out for us at right back in League 2 but his performances this season have reduced in quality IMO. I love Doyle's passion and his commitment certainly can't be questioned but I actually think he's done better for us this season when he was filling in as a centre half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been a great season for us but turning into an absolute mess now. McKinnon left because he didn't think the squad we had would be good enough to challenge for the title in League One. He was spot on. The problem is that we were left with a group of players that was neither one thing nor the other: a mix of journeymen playing out what's left of their professional careers (Gillespie, McHugh, Longridge, Murray, Doyle, Kilday), players who would get into any team in League One but who've never been able to stay injury-free for any length of time (Grant, Quitongo), youths on loan from bigger teams and a couple of players who've come through our own youth set-up. The only players who don't fit into any of those categories, guys who you could look to centre a starting XI around, are Wullie Muir, Liam Brown and Charlie Fox, but instead of building a team with a view towards next season we're already looking ahead to a clear-out and a reboot in the summer. A month on now from sacking Ellis, maybe we're waiting until then to appoint a new manager as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Murray and Grant can't get new contracts imo. Their wages and medical bills outweigh the performances and game time. Grant was a proper leader last year and Murray has gave some moments of magic but overall, the negatives outweigh the positives. From what I hear, QPFC has been extremely supportive with the level and quality of treatment both players have received but it's simply not sustainable or economical for QP to have these guys around. Grant has started less than 20 games I believe and Murray has sadly been nothing like we hoped. This was forecasted by many supports on here when we started signing so many injury-prone players.

Surprised it's only a pre-contract, a hot-shot is what we need right now. Perhaps he's got current personal/work commitments that prevent him from coming straight away or mibbe Cambuslang wanted big bucks up front ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
