Ian Mcleod

Raging the way he's been treated by the club. He's arguably our best striker but because he wasn't one of Rankin's favourites he didn't get played. He will impress at Kelty hopefully by the end of this loan we have a new manager with sense who decides to keep him for next season.

And this is one of the windows we didn't need to do much. All we needed in this window was a goalscoring experienced striker and 1 or 2 creative midfielders we only got 1 creative midfielder out of those 3 in Williamson who out of the 5 signings we've made is the only one I'm really happy about. Hastie is an downgrade on Zanatta, Kirk is a good player but another young striker is not what we were needing and we should have gave Joe McGlynn a chance. Dean Lyness probably won't make a single appearance for us and unless Fulton is out for the rest of the season it's a waste of a signing. Ahkeem Rose is another one of these strikers that might work hard but not score many goals and again if that's the sort of player we are bringing in I would rather not sign anyone and give McGlynn a chance doesn't seem that's happening though. And Davidson is another defensive midfielder seen someone make a comparison that he's similar to Macdonald which is spot on desperate signing from the club there. With outs we've let McGinn go out on Loan when Stephen Hendrie is literally our backup (McGinn is milles better), Newbury which might actually be a decent move for him but I wouldn't have been against him staying and getting a chance hopefully he's ready for next season, Tait which I'm not bothered about, Mumbongo again not bothered, Zannata like I said the replacement we've brought in is worse. O'Brien who was a good player but because he wasn't a Rankin favourite he never got a chance, and looks like McGlynn is away as well which again is a disgrace and due to him not being a Rankin favourite. The only positive really about this window is apart from Williamson all the players we've brought in are only on 6 month deals expect from Williamson so if they do prove out to be disappointing they will only be here to the end of the season. Again I don't know why the board have backed Rankin again the amount of money he must have cost the club by getting us relegated and all these signings that's he's wasted or fallen out with would be interesting to see. If he doesn't win the playoff (which he won't) then he can't be the manager next season.

I agreed with most of that message until this point Tait was far from our best midfielder him or Hewitt was our worst.

Max Kilsby is a really good signing for QOTS always impressed me when I've seem him at Annan. Seeing we are letting Joe McGlynn out on loan that would have been a far better option for you lot than Mumbongo.

On the signing of Ankeem seems an OK signing an upgrade on Mumbongo definitely however it doesn't exactly impress me either. If Ayr were to finish 9th he wouldn't even be able to play in the playoff final going by that Ayr beat 4th in L1 same goes for Davidson if Inverness finish 9th have the club thought that through when making these 2 signings?

Jake Davidson signs on loan until the end of the season. Not necessarily a bad player but not the sort of player we were needing and this comes across as a panic signing to me we really were needing a more creative midfielder. Apart from the Williamson signing I haven't been impressed with any of our signings this window. Kirk not a bad player but we already had a good young striker in Joe McGlynn who's not been giving a chance, Hastie a downgrade on Zanatta imo, Lyness just seemed a random signing and unless it means Fulton won't be back this year it's a unnecessary signing.

Zannata officially away as well just like O'Brien I'm not really happy with this. Last season I wasn't Zannatas biggest fan at all. However I think he's impressed when he's played this season and I honestly don't think his replacement Hastie is better. A good manager would have gotten more out of Zannata and O'Brien as there both decent players.

Trust me he is that bad. I'm not saying young players is the way to go however you look at Bobby Wales at Alloa and Alfie Bavidge at Kelty guys like that are a much better option than what Mumbongo will be.

Yeah Mumbongo is dreadful sadly genuinely one of the worst players I've ever seen. You would have been better taking a punt on someone from the premiership on loan even someone who's not played a senior game than sign Mumbongo.

There's usually a SPFL lower league round up posted around Wednesday on YouTube.

There's a lower league round up posted every week by the SPFL on YouTube would expect that to get posted sometime this week.

You're due a result against us and it wouldn't surprise me if it came on Saturday. Again under Rankin we can easily slip up against any team in this division as proved at times this season. I think that result last time will just motivate the QOTS players and Bartley to pick something up this time.

Yes that is true. But you do seem to have picked up recently and we are getting worse as the weeks pass. We could slip up in any game under the current management. Think it could get quite toxic next week if QOTS are leading.

QOTS will be up for this game after what happened last time we played and will be looking for revenge. QOTS fans will probably say all week they've got no chance of winning this game but that's far from the truth. Bartley is showing signs of turning it around recently. Rankin has completely lost the accies fanbase and I think some of the players have stopped playing for him. He keeps falling out with too many players with all of them being the guys he's signed. I'm expecting more dropped points here and I actually think QOTS will take all 3. QOTS 2-1 Accies.

That 5-0 game though was one of those 1 off games. We played the best we have all season in that game and QOTS probably played the worst they have all season on that day. I'm expecting a completely different outcome next week as Rankin has completely lost our fans and players and Bartley is starting to turn it around and will have his players up for revenge after what happened last time. I'm expecting a QOTS win next week tbh or at least you will pick up a point.

It only took the club with the biggest support in Scotland 5 years to get out of league 1.

No. What I was saying that would be the only valid reason I could think of on why he's still here

Another abysmal display today. Does Rankin know how to make 1 good sub? Those subs again where just embarrassing going to 3 center half's at home to Montrose is just embarrassing no Joe McGlynn again. Could see it coming as the game was going on. Rankin is not the answer and will never be got us relegated last season bottled the league this year and if he stays he will f**k the playoffs up as well in May for the second year in a row. There's no reason why Rankin should still be here unless it was down to finance reasons and if that is the case then he shouldn't be allowed to bring in anymore players under his tenure I would genuinely be cancelling ang players we were planning on bringing in this week and we should be getting rid of him at the end of the season when his contract is up.

McGinn joins Clyde on Loan another example of Rankin having his favourites here guy is milles better than Stephen Hendrie who Rankin has played many of times over him.

Yeah unless Jamie Smith gets injured or sent off I don't think Lyness will make a single appearance for us

Connor Smith joining St Johnstone permanently as well. There was rumours at the start of the window but I personally never believed it. He's a premiership level player and hopefully will kick on for St Johnstone.

Dean Lyness signs until the end of the season. Can remember Airdrie fans slating him last season. So I don't expect him to play often just cover for Jamie Smith a bit of a waste of a wage imo.

It's quite ironic a Falkirk fan making fun of financial issues (which are untrue) considering they are likely to go Part Time if they were to fail to get promoted this season. Where as our owner has already confirmed even if we don't go up this season we will still be full time next season.

is there not a possibility that they could end up moving the Cove game to the 13th though?

The boy Killie have signed from Liverpool is a midfielder. They have signed Greg Stewart recently though so you've still got a chance.
