Anonymous Spider Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Would love a loan or two in the door - and wouldn’t actually rule out the Lord being willing to fund it… But sadly got a feeling we’re more likely to run with the current crop… Any yoong QP midfielders knocking on the door? I’d be inclined to bring the all-jacks back in, but someone needs to be breathing down Turners neck at the moment. Got to imagine Spong will run out of steam at some stage too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Everytime I come on here I'm just absolutely baffled as to how much your owners/board are taking you for a ride. With regards to your dugouts is it not so your manager is closer to the linesman? When Fox clattered McCann at our game a couple of weeks ago our bench was closer to the assistant ref, got the feeling this really irked your gaffer who then refused the post match handshake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t rule anything out at our club these days Changing the dugout rather than the set up of the team in response to a defeat feels like something we would do 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Women's team sit currently 2nd by a point in the SWPL2. You'd have thought given our aim of 'coming home' and building a support, that support would be inclusive and be extended to the Women's team, (much as other clubs are finally waking up to). If ever there was a time to be investing in Women's football and grow the profile of QP, then it's now. You'd have thought that might have crossed the mind of Leanne Dempster alone? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider1975 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 There are so many girls drop out of sport in general, not just football at around 14-15. My daughter is 12 and playing U14, because the U14's are struggling for players - and it's worse at U16 level. She loves playing but she has shown no interest in watching any football, live/TV, until now where she's actively asking to go to the Scotland Women's games. How great would it be to be able to use Lesser for QP Women? - in any event, isn't that kind of the reason behind investing so heavily in a hybrid pitch, surely it's not so fragile it can't withstand a game a week? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if this is our supplier but they have Celtic on their list so good enough… Sadly, it’s all about the money. I’m sure if they get promoted it’ll ramp up a bit. https://community.queensparkfc.co.uk/girls-community-teams/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmonigatti Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Not able to make the Q&A tonight. Would someone be able to share their feedback on it here to get a sense of how it goes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Pre-match from Veldman. Sounds like an acceptance that things need adjusted to suit what he has. Let’s see. I’m cutting him some slack after reviewing all the goals last week. Focussing on how we lost possession, and where on the pitch, it was all down to individual mistakes and really bad ones at that. But the transition from that point is also a big problem and due to this system he’s trying but clearly the quality of player he has isn’t up to it. So we’ll see on Saturday if what’s been worked on this week will stop the free runs. Equally, individuals on the ball need to be much sharper in possession. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing particularly standing out from their answers but Dom did mention that Veldman is trying to add 2 or 3 players as he hinted depth is an issue. Hopefully he’s insinuating that there will be players in for Saturday 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Spoke to Dom Thomas after the formal session and he said that when they went through the film of the game afterwards, it was mistake after mistake. Longridge said much the same; the players made too many mistakes. Entertaining evening. The guys came over very well. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QP MAD Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I see a few teams taking players on loan ….anyone know who the two or three players we are supposed to get are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 We’re not gonna sign anyone are we…? Bad enough when the fans know how desperately we need players but when you know the players think similarly regarding the squad being light in numbers, you realise it’s not some master plan by Beuker but more just poor recruitment overall A shame, genuinely thought we’d of signed someone today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, loans have to come from a higher league which narrows the field quite a bit. Add to that, do we really want more young pretenders demanding a start each week when we need the space for our own young pretenders. As for wizened auld heids, I’m not sure Beuker knows how to have that conversation. We are where we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the whole 'we're not going to get anyone in who isn't better than we already have' but then to lose a CB to suspension and then decide to use a midfielder to fill the hole rather than use one of either 2 CB's that are sat on the bench, (and in doing so denying them the 'minutes that your philosophy dictates) all seems to be rather dichotomous. Despite that, I'm even more impressed with Veldman....anyone who can sit through that Ayr game then re-watch it a further twice must have an extremely high pain threshold - the man's a machine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenie for the use of ‘dichotomous’. Not enough references on here to Greek heroes IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I’m old enough to remember the “Media Day” and various other public forums since pre-season when, with a straight face, Marijn Beuker and Robin Veldman were telling everyone that this season would see us playing aggressive/attractive/dominant football. The team is absolute mess, partly due to Beuker’s negligence in building the squad and partly due to a hopelessly out of place Head Coach. Morton will wipe the floor with us next week and Airdrie will show us how you actually play attractive football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Anyone that thinks dropping McKenna was in any way going to change our fortunes is talking madness. No keeper is going to change our fortunes with that defence. Ferrie is a more than capable goalkeeper at championship level but had McKenna did the same today, some would be crying for him to be dropped. Ferrie made approximately zero saves today and that’s no criticism on the guy but he’s so exposed by the defence it’s incredible Edited September 30, 2023 by qpfc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
