  1. Given that we have been largely honking this season, it would be almost rude to not include some of our own. Based solely on matches I’ve seen against us. 

    Dabrowski- Raith 


    Steele - Arbroath 

    Williams- Partick Thistle 

    Tizzard - QP 

    Reading- Ayr 

     

    Hepburn - QP 

    Longstaff - Inverness 

    Chalmers- Dunfermline

    Tilson- Dundee United 

     

    Wighton- Dunfermline 

    Bird - Arbroath 


     

  2. An 18 month contract is just about acceptable. Anymore than that and you’re verging on daft. It’s a risk given his injury record not just in recent times but the entirety of his career but we’re in a position where we need to take a couple of risks on some older heads to help us in our current position. The quality of Welsh seems unquestionable, just hoping we get a sustained period of him on the pitch and not on the sidelines

    Jack Thomson linked with Carlisle (the Record) - out of contract in the summer...

    I’m convinced he’s out of contract the following summer. Signed an original deal until summer 2023 and then signed signed a 2 year extension on top of that in summer 2022. Would be just as bad to lose him as it is to lose Thomas. Thomson could comfortably play at a higher level, got all the attributes. If anything, I think he could do better than Carlisle 


     

  4. What a huge disappointment that deal was. Unlike certain loans that were total duds like your Mcbride’s, longstaff’s and Euan Henderson’s, I do think Hepburn had some talent on the ball but he was far too lightweight for championship football. Started off okay but really fell away after the red card at Airdrie and was rarely seen afterwards. 
     

    I don’t think I’ll ever get excited again signing a player from an elite club. Thought I’d learn that lesson from Longstaff but was tricked into thinking Hepburn would tear this league apart 

  5. I know his name has been mentioned to death by a couple of posters but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised now to see us offering Wotherspoon a contract. Worked under Davidson and if he is indeed the assistant, played with Liam Craig for a good 8-9 years at st Johnstone. Pretty sure his deal at Inverness runs out some point next week. Hope we’re looking into that

    Again, I don't think we have the cash lying around like most seem to think we do, so would not be surprised at all should history repeat itself and we see another club Captain depart in January. 

    Tbf I don’t think we’ve got endless funds when required but I do think there’s going to be more money available over the next 12-18 months based on the Davidson appointment. A guy who had won the double with St Johnstone and had supposedly turned down the opportunity to go and manage Dundee in the summer ? I doubt he’d be attracted to the worst team in the championship with limited funds without assurances that he could enhance the squad. He’s got a reputation to rebuild. Not saying we’ll go mental but I think we might be less rigid than we have been the last 12 months 

  7. It’s not the most glamorous looking appointment but the more i think about it, the more the club maybe needs this type of appointment. We’ve appointed various ‘projects’ as managers over the last few years and have failed pretty miserably. Veldman came in as pretty exciting and forward thinking guy but within 4-6 weeks, everyone could see he wasn’t up to it 

    We seriously need a manager who can give us some sort of stability for a couple years. At the end of the day, I take far more satisfaction from winning games of football than trying to play nice entertaining football and losing consistently. If it means the football needs to be slightly more pragmatic, especially in the immediate short term then I’m all for it 
     

    Would Davidson of been my first choice ? Probably not. I’d of been more enthused with Bowyer or Courts but for a team joint bottom of the championship, I’m not gonna turn my nose up at a cup double winning manager 

    Lets been honest, we were never appointing someone with a perfect CV in our current predicament

    I was about to say the daily ranger has us linked to him I don’t believe this at all from our side ex one of them and fair to say we don’t like him and he doesn’t like us… maybe it’s true from the United/Partick end but I just can’t see us being in for him 

    Worries me that Thomas, a player who has been well known for a long while has all of a sudden been alerted to other clubs mid season. A part of me thinks he’s maybe asked to leave ? Who knows 

    Hopefully just paper talk after last nights win on the tv 

  9. Hi Spartans fans- Been a couple murmurs on the qp forum that we might be signing Rhys Armstrong from yourselves ? Based on absolute nothing than a random post from someone but would be curious to know how you’d feel he’d cope with the step up if true? 

  10. Think had we not won that tonight, we’d of been in serious bother (still are tbf) but what a difference it makes just experiencing a win. Mad how it changes your outlook on the upcoming fixtures now 

    We deserved that tonight. Aye Dunfermline were down to the bare bones but we’ve played teams with many injuries (Morton particularly stands out) and made a complete backside of it. It was a proper team effort and maybe it isn’t pretty on the eye for the neutral. However, I’d take winning in the most horrible fashion over playing neat stuff and losing consistently at this point in the season 

    Paton was excellent up top and Spong was fantastic in midfield. If only the guy had some pace and he’d not be at this level. For a wee guy, he’s incredibly strong in the tackle and is more or less very successful in the vast majority of his duels. Really liked the look of Mauchin tonight at right back. He struggled against Fitzpatrick on Tuesday but it was his debut up against the most inform winger in the league in fairness. However tonight he was brave taking on his man, got to the byline on numerous occasions and defended well. Will be interesting to see if he’s trusted against Raith next week 

    Hell of a lot more work needed to stay up and even though I sense a stronger togetherness in the squad under Nuijten compared to Veldman, it’s imperative we still go and appoint an experienced manager going forward, alongside some key experienced signings

    I was looking through your side there and very surprised with the amount of players I hadn’t ever heard of. The last four on the teamsheet basically, who all seem to be youth players. A huge amount to be playing at once. 

    I take it McKinstry has never got up to speed? 

    Been the downfall of our season playing youth guys who are completely untested and from what I’ve seen, simply not ready for the rigours of championship football. Our right back tonight in Mauchin only made his first senior start on Tuesday and tonight Fairlie is making his first start in senior football. We’re simply not learning from our mistakes. Total arrogance of the club to think this will work  

    Mckinstry has been a real non starter so far. Quite clearly not match sharp as of yet but in his limited minutes, he’s looked miles off it. For a guy that was deemed decent enough in the premiership just last season, I’m disappointed with what I’ve seen of him
