Spider1975 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 5 hours ago, pmonigatti said: Hoping to start a bit of discussion on what the team needs next year. This (for what its worth) is what I reckon is our best 11 to start the season based on who we are likely to have. Making the assumption that all those offered new deals take them. From this I think we still need cover at right full back (which is likely where the previous link with the crystal palace lad would solve). Left full back I think if Bruce signs we're covered, if not it will certainly need someone brought in. I think another two central midfielders are needed and a centre back wouldn't go amiss. I previously posted that I thought Scott Banks would be an QP signing given his injury history and being available for free. After seeing some footage of him I think he seems like a sensible option and provides an excellent set piece threat which we don't really have. Lastly I think bolstering the striker position is something that could be done using the loan market as Paton would preferably play most games. Personally I think we were/are far better when Paton has someone beside him and DT is on the left rather than the middle. I’d be in the market for a striker and a RB/RWB Would love to see us revert to a back four with a line-up similar to the one below, but am fully resigned to the three/five at the back so reckon Paton’s partner beneath becomes the third CB Paton AN Other Thomas Savoury Thomson Welsh Scott Fox Wilson/Tizzard AN Other Ferrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 In terms of another option up front, Davidson really needs to be looking for essentially someone who brought the same traits as Sheridan to the team, but who can last more than about 60 minutes; good in the air, can hold the ball up, and get behind defenders. They don't need to be a prolific scorer if they work well and Paton carries on doing what he does best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QP's in my DNA Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Welcome Adam.......but like any new poster on any fans forum, and given your "pals" comments.? It would be nice for us on the Queen's Park forum "pay at the gate", supporters to know the following Why should we 2) laugh at Inverness ???? I, like many Queen's fans, who have been lucky enough over the years to attend not only home, but away games, at Inverness..... and Dingwall, Elgin, Peterheid, Cove , Montrose and best of all for an away day...Arbroath. I've scrounged lifts, borrowed bus fares, dodged train barriers, but of course I've always payed to get in. Your "new" first post makes me think you are the kind of guy who is here to tell us that the complete mis-management that is the redevelopment of Lesser Hampden was not the fault of any current QP Committee member, and we should ignore such disgraceful decisions concerning building a glorified "Punch and Judy" box to house those self imagined glitterati. So Adam could you answer the following questions................after all, it is close season (for us), so we are desparate for any news. 1:- Do you have any connection with any QP committee member ? You don't have to say which one ! 2:- Do you have any connection with CITY ????? in all it's manifistasions ???? 2:- Do you have any connection with any football club in the Glasgow area that 99.99 % of the rest of the QP family think are toxic ? Well of course, It would be nice to believe, you' re a genuine , brand new, football fan with an interest in QP, brought about by the fantastic efforts of certain members of the hard working staff that go unrecogniseat The Nc Alpine StIUM -16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangled web Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 2 hours ago, QP MAD said: I had a copy of the match report for years …it was described as a ..Roy of the Rovers goal . Alan Irvine was one of my all time favourite QP players along with Dougie Wilkie and Davie Anderson. I lived in Nottingham in 1986 and Forest played Palace in the cup. I went along to the City ground to watch just to see Alan Irvine play again (I usually watched Notts County across the Trent) Alan didn't see much of the ball unfortunately. Forest were in the first division and Palace were the division below but it was good to see him play again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Alan Irvine was an exceptional talent and made the goal that was my best moment as a QP fan when he crossed for Gerry Crawley to score at Stenny to complete a 4-3 win from being three goals down in 1981 when we won the Second Division. It was a really special team which included possibly the best technical footballer I've seen in a QP jersey, John McGregor, who went to Liverpool. These were the days when half decent guys could still be found in the amateurs. A modern example would be the aforementioned Davie Anderson, whom we picked up from the juniors rather than the amateurs of course, who was simply a joy to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 1 hour ago, QP's in my DNA said: Why should we 2) laugh at Inverness ???? IMO, because they acted like absolute clowns when pumping a dejected, disjointed Robin Veldman side, and fluked a win over us in the run-in while telling us we'd be going down with the Arbroath. Also, Duncan Ferguson on £5,000 a week. The rest of your post is not opinion and is utter nonsense. Any new QP fan active at games and/or online is welcome. There will be plenty that have been here for years with wild & varying views on everything behind the scenes that we won't all agree with. And as for your comment about being connected with Rangers or Celtic, open your eyes and realise almost everyone in this city will be. I grew up in a Rangers supporting family until I found my own way about 17 years ago. If you're going to instantly disapprove of anyone who already has Celtic or Rangers connections, you're not going to grow a support in Glasgow. We need to encourage those willing to follow QP over them. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind asking him about how the captaincy fell to him? I never really heard about that at the time but it would be interesting to know. On top of that what did he make of the atmosphere from the team before/after Murray leaving. I always find these things the most interesting to hear from the players because you can't really get it elsewhere. Good luck otherwise with the podcast! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
