an86 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The QP circus rolls into North Lanarkshire’s premier BMX venue for what is sure to be a tough test against the overperforming minnows. No manager, a squad that is made out of glass, and an inability to hold onto a lead. I’m not feeling particularly confident in our chances of three points. The draw thing is almost beyond parody now, but it’s what I’d bet on happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry state of affairs but I have to agree with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If QP could refrain from giving us a penalty, that would be great. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Honestly don’t have a clue how this will pan out. Our performances against Clyde have been shambolic this season and if it wasn’t for 2 dreadful Goodwillie penalties, we’d of probably lost both games. We capitulate at any sort of pressure and ultimately Clyde will have every right to think they could win this I’d be shocked if we don’t have at least 1 new player in for Saturday. Yes we don’t have a manager but this squad is taking us straight to mid table mediocrity. Not only that but the consistency in key players getting injured is ridiculous. “Injury prevention work” by the sport scientists really has paid off this season. That’s brown now getting injured from Saturday aswell, it really is concerning. In terms of how we lineup, I wouldn’t be adverse to getting Davidson back in at right back and at worst have Doyle at right centre half alongside Fox. Doyle has bundles of energy but his crossing and passing has been chronic in recent weeks, whereas Davidson linked the play brilliantly against Falkirk and created a number of openings for players. Gillepsie and Longstaff quite simply both need to be dropped. Gillespie started the season off strong but he’s tailed off massively and he consistently losing the ball in key areas which is helping nobody. Longstaff has the odd decent touch but there’s so many aspects lacking in his game. Such a disappointment considering he’s been brought up from Liverpool. Hopefully longridge is back and maybe an opportunity for Quitongo to start and get 60 minutes or so under his belt ?

williebraveheart Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I have been concerned about our injury record and have mentioned this more than once on this forum. It is not just this season. I don't believe in coincidences and believe the problem lies within QP. As a brief and totally non expert comparison Ray Slater has been almost an ever present in the Forfar squad this season. We are not the only club to have had this issue. 10-15 years ago Celtic went through a period of every injury they picked turned out to be more serious than first reported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be a massive coincidence with the quantity of injuries but what we also do need to remember is that to get a few of these players down to league 2 at the time, we were warned about their injury history prior to joining Slater- Many injuries prior to signing Quitongo- dodgy Knees, think he’s had 3 serious knee injuries in his career already Grant- A career riddled with injury, probably why he ended up league 2 with us Murray- Joined when returning from a 15 month Injury and has had a number of niggling injuries since returning Kilday has had spells out injured also and he’s had long spell out injured throughout this career This doesn’t even include Lyon, Baynham being out the entire season so far 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighter training schedule of part-time football might be helping Slater. Had problems with injuries before coming to QP as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathcartSkins Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We will turn this poor run of form around at some time; this is as good a time as any - 1-0 to the QP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We’ll need to keep it tight at the back as Queen’s Park do have players who can take a chance when they come, but no reason why we can’t get a positive result out of it. Would hope for a new face or two before the game but that’s fading quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Clyde FC Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 How about we delay kick off, play in the dark a 5- 11 er where the loser has to take Gardner Spiers as manager? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the news that he wants to leave, I was expecting that tbh. Don’t think we’ll see him start again until this window is shut.

haufdaft Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Goodwillie should start.Even playing at 50% he's still much better than Jones.If Goodwillie isn't performing then you substitute him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
