Think Gavin has a flu virus and won’t start.
Hopefully Max Currie also caught the flu

Men v Boys completely out classed the pen summed us up pathetic from Paton.
On this form we are heading for the relegation playoffs .
Never thought I would say this but with Wullie as manager we are worse than when AJ was here .
Cmon Billy pull the trigger. The loyal fans deserve better.
it’s clear wullie is not up to the job

A little birdie tells me that things are not great at training and in dressing room. Has WG lost the dressing room already

No messing around from Gibson going forward.

As a defensive starting point0 -
Don’t want to get too carried away with friendlies, but thought we played very well second half. As with the comments on Wednesday night, really impressed with the young boys that came on. Definitely good signs for the season ahead.
No other trialists, just Irving. Agree I’d like to see a bit more quality up top and somebody out wide to complete the squad.
Murray and Todd will be our wide men0 -

Very strange that East Wilson and Reilly have not played a single minute of pre season. None of them feature today
Surely not injured already0 -
I notice in today's Courier Wullie Gibson said he had another talk with Josh Rae after his other deal (with Carlisle?) fell through. Josh apparently wanted guarantee of regular starts but as Queens had already signed Max Currie, Wullie said he couldn't guarantee that and he'd need to compete for first choice. Obviously Josh didn't fancy that and got a suitable offer from Airdrie, good luck to him anyway. Wullie said every player must earn their starting place. Wullie also hinted that Fitzpatrick re-signing is not completely dead and buried although Partick are obvious faavourites for him but he is leaving negotiations between the clubs over compo to those upstairs. . He also said that, although he wouldn't rule it out if the right players are available, he hoped not to rely on the loan market this season. He wants to run with a squad of 20 plus some of the youngsters and is still hoping to sign a midfielder and striker. Wullie showing that it's not too hard to keep fans reasonably informed of you want to.
Maybe we are better without Rae. No player should be guaranteed a starting place. For someone that was only with us for 1 season and was unfortunate to get a bad injury and be out for half that season he sounds like a bit of a billy big bawz0 -
Tonight's team:
Currie, McKenna, Quitongo, D.McKay, P.McKay, Morrison, Cochrane, McGrory, Paton, Todd, Murray
subs:
Cowie, trialist, trialist, Connelly, McMahon, McKechnie, Muir, L.Gibson, Johnstone
Where is Reilly0 -
Josh has moved to Airdrie to be closer to a family member who is really not well. A tough decision but one he had to make this year.
We train in Hamilton so that doesn’t make sense.-1 -
That’s a squad that won’t be far away from top of league 1.

No one. He's staying on as Reserves manager. As it stands certainly. That may change as the season goes on.
Good. As long as it’s not the return of the chinese line dancer.
Wee Dan Carmichael might be a good shout though0 -
Who took over from WG as reserve team manager ?

Any new faces at pre season on trial today ?

I will be so so surprised if he doesn't play 442 like he ended last season. Just because we've already signed 3 CBs doesn't mean we'll play a back 3. Playing a back 4, we will need at least 4 CBs in the squad especially as Stuart Morrison is injury prone. Wullie will want to play Todd in his preferred left midfield, and will want to play him most weeks as he is captain and one of our better players. That rules out most other formations. I think he'll play 442 because even when he had Connelly who was clearly a number 10 he still kept with the same formation playing Connelly out wide.
This for me is why Connor Murray is a bit of an underwhelming signing, as I think he has been signed for the RM role in a 442. If you look at the squad depth (see below) in each position, that is where he seems to fit in. If we were to sign Fitzpatrick or get a good loan winger I would be happy with his signing as he would be a good squad player. Or if we were to sign Connelly I would also be happy as that would suggest he is going to be played as an attacking midfielder, and we would change formation. Overall, he isn't a bad player to buy, and we should definitely give him a chance at this level, but I hope he won't be our only option going into the season.
You leaving Paton out. Madness0 -
Any word on pre season friendlies yet ?
Kilmarnock closed doors0 -
McKay can also cover right back and Morrison has a horrendous injury record. Think we need an experienced nasty spine of our team (i.e Broadfoot). Thought last year our team were too nice
Wouldn’t say no to Broadfoot. Highly experienced2 -
Still need another centre half, left back, right back, two wingers and a striker I think. If Broadfoot and Savoury are coming in its beginning to look like a very good squad for this level.
We have 3 centre half’s signed this week0 -
Need the option though for me, when things aren’t going your way need the option there to change it up. Don’t think a target man is necessarily a bad thing either.
On that note the signing up of Wilson immediately makes us a lot more physical in middle of park, none of the defenders we’ve currently signed are on the small side either. After a few season of us being a smaller side.
If we can get Fitzpatrick signed up I think we have the basis of a right good side. Pace out wide is vital, and he was starting to show an end product. Would love east as well think he’d get the left back berth though, the rumoured interest in broadfoot although surprising giving we’ve got 3 already (I think someone like east would be more necessary in all honesty, covers left hand side) I think that level of experience would be huge for us, performed well for ICT too. Looking like Connelly is away, would like to see us get the savoury boy from Peterhead to replace him. We also need a right back if the gaffer is taking up a position on touchline, a few player can cover it, but none natural
Would Scott Hooper do a job at RB0 -
Squad taking shape nice and early. Nice to have 3 recognised centre half’s and a solid midfield. Just need right back left back and a strike partner for Reilly.
Cooper left back ?
Wullie Right back ?
Fitzpatrick strike partner ?0 -
WG has said he will sign more quality in the squad right now I will just have to trust him .
The loss of East Cooper and more so Connelly and Fizpartrick was always going to be hard to replace.
Hopefully many more real quality signing still to come.
Who has said we have lost Cooper and East [emoji1745]1 -
Wullie hinting on twitter he has had a busy morning.
Am sure signings are imminent !!!1 -
