So a season or two outside the Championship is probably not a bad thing right now, chance to take stock and regroup etc. Just hope it's not more than a couple of seasons though. I kind of agree. I'm not entirely sure what we mean by reset though. It does feel like this fate is overdue. What we've had for years now has been incredibly unappealing, as reflected in gates. Does a reset just mean a spell of winning more frequently than has been our habit, or does it mean more fundamental change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the loan players I’d only be happy to keep O’Connor, but he’s out of contract and will surely get better offers from elsewhere. Think it’s inevitable that Rae and Connelly will get offers from Championship clubs as well. Sounds stupid to say but don’t think we are actually that far away. We obviously need to improve in both boxes, an experienced centre half to play beside East and a proven goal scorer and we wouldn’t be far away away. Who knows if this is being overly optimistic. With Gibson in charge, hopefully enough of the players are happy to play under him again next year. East a good sub to have but not as a regular for me . At fault in the Cup Final and the Partick goal he must go to the danger not do nothing . McKay and a experienced centre back something we have needed all season . We must try the mix of full and part time try and get the best part time players we just can't compete with other full time clubs when is comes to wages probable the reason we have such a young full time squad this season. The manager do we still have to take Wullie even if it ends up we lose our last 10 games for me we need a experienced manager who can build a squad but if it must be Wullie as most fans want then it has to be a 1 year contract Wullie has never even signed a player never mind a squad at our level -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't analyse what I say too deeply MT, I talk bollocks a lot of the time. But yes, my idea of reset is very vague. It does as you say include winning more frequently, playing a more adventurous style which will maybe encourage some fans back. I think it also hopes there's more of a strategic change to recruitment with a longer term view and a move away from the hire as cheap as chips and dump them all at the end of each season approach to something with a longer term view. Especially with some cash in the bank. If we stick with WG, then Greenacres has a point in that recruitment will be a real test for him and it's one of the hardest tasks a manager has at this level. There will be 20 Diddy clubs fishing in the same pond of circa 400 hopefuls, plus the option to gamble on some unknowns beyond our borders. I'm not sure I envy any manager that task - any error and your job is on the line for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was prattling on here a few weeks ago about a 'reset', but I'm not entirely sure what I meant either. I feel that change is necessary though, because nobody could look at recent history and call this season a blip. I suppose I want us to use the change of setting to take a look at models of recruitment and maybe the whole FT/PT thing. I'd also not object to changing the pitch, but I know that's not happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a while since we crossed swords in the league though. How long has it been - it must be over a decade? It was of course 2009/10. Airdrie United at that time?

With Gibson in charge, hopefully enough of the players are happy to play under him again next year. Was thinking along the same lines. We could get another experienced CB to play alongside McKay. East has done well enough there why not play him at LB if he stays he is strong and good on the ball. I would like us not to have to totally rebuild again for next year. Going on last night's game WG should definitely play on next year but does he want the extra pressure of managing the team as well. Midfield wise Cochrane and McGrory are still young and are learning. But still think we needs somebody with experience in there as well. WG should have a lot of contacts in the game and hopefully he can influence players to come and play for us. I know we are losing games but we are playing better football than before we just can't score. Connelly last few games have been poor he needs to play either upfront or as a 10. Did not reise O'Connor was out of contract in the summer. I slated his first couple of games but he has turned out to be a good defender. He will get championship offers I would imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Ayr showing real grit today to come back from 0-2 - something that we just never look remotely like doing. A win last night and things would have looked so much better. Unbelievably, we still have a chance of 9th. To try and somehow score goals I think we need to partner Cameron with Connelly up top. That is the obvious pairing - I am no big fan of Cameron but we need to get Connelly firing and you won’t do that playing him in a wide role. I don’t think a Roy:Connelly partnership would work. All these must win Cup Finals and we lose every one - surely we are due some outrageous luck for once? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERREGLES1919 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Indeed you need to go back to season 1988/89 to find Queens and Airdrieonians in the same division. One of the Doonhamers worst ever seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes far more dangerous picking up the ball centrally and taking shots than he is out wide crossing. 31 minutes ago, qos_75 said: You are right Flash.

Remember going to a 0-3 humping at the old Broomfield back in the 70s .... we got seriously telt in more ways than one! Good Airdrieonians side then though, think Derek Whiteford was captain back then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
