Yeah I get that but what I meant was he can do all of that what you said… what I’m getting at is he can also Travel with the ball from deep/carry the ball forward letting the attackers get more forward for options progress the ball forward and takes more risks, that’s my meaning of a ball progresser but I don’t disagree with what you said in the first part… he is different Stanton ability and playing wise but he’s also different to Brown and Byrne and that to me what makes a good midfield

Match fitness/Sharpness comes with game time though so even if he gets 60/70 on Saturday maybe bring on McGill if he’s not playing RB that Red Caird to Millen and the possible Euan Murray injury was the last thing we needed as we’re very short at the back either get O’Reilly deal wrapped or bring someone in before Saturday as it’s quite clear he doesn’t trust or have faith in Masson or Corr or he would’ve brought Corr on Saturday

If we need a partner for Byrne and brown has to play CH then Matthews has to be the one for me, a completely different option in the middle and plus McGill has never played in a MF 2 for us it’s either been full back or in the attacking positions

If we’re needing a ball Carrier when Stanton is out then Matthews is the perfect fit for that role when Spencer was here he was the Shaun Byrne get the ball then play it to the attacking players then Matthews was the progresser of the ball and it worked well

Different circumstances I know but it was the same with McGlynn after Killie home game in the 1-0 win we went on a downward spiral and getting to the cup final basically saved his job because there was rumours of him getting punted then we win the cup and let him see out his contract but the league form the 2nd half of that season was terrible

Wait hawd the bus 9 goals all season at home? If that’s the case the QP could in for one hell of ride they seem to score a lot of goals but also concede so if Davidson does ruin the top part of the pitch I can’t see how they stay up

The last couple Games I never understood why he played Murray left side and O’Reilly right even though Murray is both footed O’Reilly looks more comfortable on the left and Murray has played RCH for us before when Bene was here

So is it from the opposition right hand side/ our left hand side? Because it seems like a lot teams target our left side

Not got a clue, but we must be the worst team in the country when it comes to conceding from balls into the box whether that’s from a cross/Free kick or corners apart from the last few weeks that’s all what we seem to concede from

Patons suspended I think for too many yellow cards and if the rumours of Thomas leaving are true his he gonna play and possibly risk injury and scupper any move

Seen on Facebook someone said Hylton and Kyle Turner from county another 2 names you can add to the rumour mill

Aye I’ve seen that as well since the game… were their cup final will always raise their game against us because of ex manager and a few players

In the winger position we have, Connolly, Mullin, Easton, Smith, Gullan and Vaughan can play there if need be

Daily Ranger has once again put out the Dom Thomas stuff but now it’s only between US and Partick and that Dundee United has walked away this is agent talk I reckon for a better deal at QP

Thought it was the dom Thomas and Andy Halliday funds nah but it’s good that the club are willing to give out shares

I’ve been doing a bit of research for potential incomings in this window, so I’ve look at a few premiership squads to see if players that might be available for a loan/free transfer theres Kyle Turner from Ross County hardly getting any minutes can play in the 6/8 and the “Stanton role” and that baffonn Adam’s is back there so probably won’t get anymore, would anyone take him? Dundee if we’re looking at pacey wingers then the obvious 2 are Tiffoney and Reilly then if it’s CH then possibly Lee Ashcroft if O’Reilly goes? Got experience in this league and has won it Left back is the obvious one Lewis Stevenson that’s been banded about also to throw into the winger category Gary MacKay Steven I think his contract is up these are just a few names that thought be interesting

Not only are we going head to head for a league title…. According to the daily Ranger we also apparently going head to head with dom Thomas along with partick, I see this as bs from our side, Ex scum, we fucking hate him and he hates us…. IMO I think it’s a load of tosh and just linking the top 3 of the championship to another championship player

Bit ironic is it not? you lot win get a bit of publicity because it’s been what 14/15 games? We lose today against the only team to beat us this season and we play each other next week and the paper goes right who can we link Thomas to I know the 3 teams at the top to make look like a bidding war lazy journalism imo

If it is true ( I think not) but if it is we would have to pay you a good fee and he’s rumoured to be one of your highest paid players again rumoured, and I don’t think we will pay what you ask for or pay his wages unless one of our boys are leaving this window then I can’t see/ we’ve also been linked with Halliday

Him and Halliday running about in a rovers strip think both are made up bullshit tbh

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

I have seen that the Daily Ranger has us, Dundee United and Partick all bidding for……. Wait for it…. Dom Thomas

Millen should’ve let the ball go out there imo with a blind clearance it was always gonna cause bother

Anyone else have the corner pet hate that most teams leaves a player up against us but we never do it against the opposition? I know we’ve been doing it for years but surely at some point we’ve to do it it’s no like Mullin or Vaughan are aerial threats or that so if some likes them stays up incase of dodgey bounce/clearance could cause problems

I agree if numbers and availability allow it I’d go 343 and try pin them back they could only defend well for so long if they are under the cosh but it’ll be the same 4231/4132 we get out played and over ran then they score and we don’t have answer to it
