19QOS19 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Pretty sure it looks like Queen of the South minus DobbieTbf, Holt, Mercer, Semple, Kilday and Lyon have put in decent performances at times this season. That's a back 4 there so obviously as a unit something isn't working. Though we were pretty decent at the back until McCrorie went to Livi. It turned to shit when Ross Stewart came in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownlie was our best defender until the week before he went to Thistle too. It's too simple to just blame McCrorie's departure though I'd agree it was the biggest factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Decided to attempt an XI with one player from each team, Dundee Utd being the side to get two for obvious reasons. That's an insane 4-1-5 with three centre forwards and two wingers rather than a conventional 4-3-3 but it'd win the league anyway. Suppose I could have replaced O'Hara with Flannigan for a 4-4-2 but that would be much less fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Morton keeper who they had at the start was atrocious, they realised that and at least got Rodgers. Scully and Gill were the 2nd and 3rd worst keepers, I'd genuinely say that neither would be many teams second choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Jack Hamilton has to be one of the worst, if not the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Jack Hamilton is a hilariously terrible keeper, but the worst keeper I watched this season was that Ramsbottom guy. Didn't look like a footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The goalkeepers in this division are largely an embarrassment to the profession. A mere ten or so year ago you had the likes of Rab Douglas, Tomas Cerny & Michael McGovern strutting their stuff and now the best of the division is apparently Mark Ridgers, Benjamin Siegrist & Ross Doohan. Tragic state of affairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic state of affairs.Doohan is over-rated by Ayr fans IMO but he's still a good goalkeeper. Ridgers has looked really good any time I've seen him. McCrorie is still raw but he's probably the best goalkeeper I've seen in a QoS jersey for a long time. I fully expect he'll be Scotland No. 1 in the not too distant future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not got much competition once Marshall retires so I'm not sure how much of a compliment that is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Ramsbottom is comfortably the worst keeper in the division, Hamilton second. I don’t know what the latter’s level actually is but he certainly hasn’t found it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbie still carries enough of a threat to be excluded from the rest I don’t think there is any doubt that we were the worst team in the division in what was played of the second half of the season. The form table for the last 10 games is effectively the league table for the second half before it was stopped. Five points separated the 8 teams outside the relegation places. Ayr were 8th on 12 points. Then a drop of 4 points to Thistle on 8 points. Then a further drop of 5 points to us in 10th on 3 points from 10 games. We were on course for 50 points for the season at the halfway point. The second half of the season form was the equivalent of 11 points for the season. https://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=scotland2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hard to pick a worst XI tbh considering a lot of the really really shite players hardly play. For example Henk Van Shaik is easily the worst player I’ve seen at Somerset this season but he was punted pretty soon after so I’m not sure he’d qualify. Ramsbottom is also Morton’s second choice goalie I think. If I’m going on players I’ve seen against Ayr this season then, Sam Ramsbottom Steven Saunders Troy Brown Henk Van Shaik Peter Pawlett Lewis Kidd Stuart Bannigan Cameron Blues Joe Cardle Kenny Miller Kris Doolan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic state of affairs. I think there’s been a growing trend that clubs still want strong 2nd or even 3rd choice keepers available. When big squads started to become normal at the top end of the game clubs were still happy enough to have 1 keeper as 1st choice and 1 just about competent guy who could hold the shirt for a couple of weeks and that’s it. As a result the lower down the levels you go the standard has suffered badly. Taking the 2 guys still playing. cerny is sitting on the bench at Aberdeen and McGovern doesn’t even do that at Norwich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
