It’s not like Smith or McGill were missing sitters. Most of those missed shots were long range efforts or blocked quickly by defenders and a lot were from Frizzell and Devenny as well. If anything our conversion rate would improve with better decision making by all players in the last third (midfielders and wing backs included) or by having an extra man up top as we did last season to actually overload the opposition defence.

The Queen of the South thread
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds replied to qos_75's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Murray built our squad for a back 3 last season and somehow we ended up with Rhys McCabe playing centre back in a 4. A lot can change over the course of a season. -
No idea but they hadn’t been announced before yesterday’s game, even if they had been at the club for some time as trialists. Presumably there is some form of contract involved as there would be no logic in having youth players if other clubs can just pinch them for nothing whenever they show a bit of promise.

Would be fine if teams were allowed to play trialists in the group stage, but as it is it’s definitely too early to expect teams to have a full squad. There definitely were players from last season we could’ve had that would be decent enough and give us numbers (like Kerr) but the majority of the players released we should be able to improve on. Disappointing we haven’t brought more in yet but if it means a stronger squad come the league starting then it’s fine.

Needed a left back and signed a left back. He’s only 19 so previous loans being unsuccessful doesn’t necessarily mean much (McInroy had unsuccessful loans before joining us and turned out to be brilliant). I wasn’t particularly impressed with him when watching the Stirling Albion game but very hard to judge a player based on one performance in a friendly match, and more time to settle into the team could do him a world of good, especially as such a young player. Happy to give him a chance and happy we’ve signed somebody.

Summer 22 Transfer Thread

Football players. Preferably ones capable of playing one of the positions on the pitch. -
Forgot about that Gibson “announcement”. Strange considering that tweet was five days ago and we’ve still heard nothing from the club. Was Gibson one of the trialists at the weekend? Agree to an extent we shouldn’t rush signings for the sake of Saturday’s game but I don’t like the idea of not having subs available in case a player takes a knock, especially considering there’s another game the Tuesday so only a couple of days for a rest after.

I have a feeling too, but I’m not wanting to tempt fate! Tonight makes sense since everyone including the part time players is in on a Tuesday night. The match preview interviews last season were always filmed on a Tuesday night as well so it’s maybe the most convenient night for our media channels as well. I would say that we need four or five before Saturday’s match though. At the moment all we have is 11, plus Hutton and an injured Salim. We need a few just to have players on the bench.
