19QOS19 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 2 minutes ago, Otis Blue said: There's certainly a need for a commanding and experienced CB, and young Brydon isn't that but given we've parted with cash for him and given a 2.5 year contract you'd like to think Marvin's thinks there's a talent there to be developed. So maybe that's just part of the solution, early days yet. If Brydon was a loan until the end of the season I'd be underwhelmed somewhat but that it's a 2 year deal you have to think Bartley will be eyeing a bit of experience alongside him in the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Yep, this is rebuilding started now. Can see more business by the end of the window, including leavers too. Also Dabrowski is out of contract with Hibs at the end of the season and a free agent. Not sure if we'd be able to hold onto him though if he's as good as others are saying. He's certainly come here to be No.1. Edited January 12, 2023 by Otis Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what a waste of a loan that turned out to be for both parties. I expected him to be used a bit more rather than the odd 15 minute cameo appearance and one, admittedly poor, half against Falkirk. Bange has gone back to Blackpool. I'm very pleased with the Dabrowski signing, not heard much about Brydon but he can't be any worse than McKenna, Hendrie or the McKays surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipmat Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Assuming Dabrowski plays, I'm guessing he could be the tallest player ever to turn out for Queens? He dwarfs Bartley in the signing photo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not met him yet but if he's taller than Bange it won't be by much. They are both somewhere between 6'5" and 6'6" I think. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great uncle Jim Hogg from Sanquhar was a big Queens fan and died last year. Will make enquiries and pass the information on his daughter. Good folk Queens, really enjoyed being down for the first time in a while I never knew we had a memorial wall either. Where is it? Have just been told by my other half that I walk past it every week! Will make a point of looking at the next home game. Edited January 12, 2023 by Mulberryblue Add additional information 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 There will not be a better goalkeeper in League One than Kevin Dabrowski. In fact, I'm absolutely staggered he's not at the very least a No.1 for a Championship side. I thought he would go back to Hibs after his spell with us and be their number one by now. Especially after his derby heroics last year. You know how some players just have a bit of an aura and a presence about them? A bit of magic almost just in the way they conduct themselves? Like a swagger that makes you believe in them before you've really seen them in action. That's Kevin. He came into us during the Covid season and was nothing short of sensational. He commands his area superbly, he pulls of genuinely jaw dropping saves, his handling is fairly solid and although he's prone to parrying shots - he does it with so much power that he pushes them away from goal and out for throw-ins. He's a huge character. A bit of a maverick. He'll pull off saves that'll blow your mind, then make a really tame shot look like it was the toughest in the world by throwing himself on it in a mega dramatic way. He's exceptionally loud on the park as well and will happily be a bit of shithouse, winding other players up (hiya Brian Graham, hiya pal). I absolutely loved watching him play for us. And loved it even more when I met him a couple of times. He's the most gentle mannered, polite and lovely big guy you could ever meet. And he just has a huge passion for football and goalkeeping which rubs off on you instantly. You'll probably all have seen his interview after the Edinburgh derby last year, and that is exactly what he's like. A really genuine, and incredibly talented, guy. After he left us, I spoke to Sons goalkeeper coach at the time about him - and he likened him to Fraser Forster. You can read that - here. He's reminded me of Nick Pope since I first watched him in action for us though. But either way, those are good comparisons to have. Here's a link to the GoPro from when he single-handedly helped Sons draw 0-0 with Partick Thistle in the Covid season. It's one of the best displays of goalkeeping I've ever seen. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Pleased with the GK signing - that was a must. Was hoping for an experienced CB or 2 who can organise the back 4, do the dirty stuff and defend our box. Not convinced that a very young inexperienced CB is what we need at present. Will certainly need to move some on to get squad down to manageable level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
