Stuntiethumper Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 6 hours ago, Skeletar Spider said: I'd be very wary of putting too much faith in the loan market to plug holes in the squad, especially if we are going to be doing our business late. With the exception of Mal Boateng (one of the best players in the division), Joshua Scott (who looked excellent when he came in last season) and Connor Shields (not as good as the other two, but he did a job for us), the players we've brought in on loan over the past couple of seasons in the Championship have been at best ineffective/literally invisible and at worst pure garbage: David Boateng Josh McPake Johnny Kenny Ewan Henderson Marcel Oakley Barry Hepburn Ben McPherson Mackenzie Carse James Crole A bit harsh on McPherson. Thought he improved over the season but the others didn't quite live up to expectations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking this myself. Maybe Ayr but yourselves would be my guess too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachnophile Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 5 trialists on the bench. Colour me excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol1867 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Good to see some trialists but Thomson, Welsh and Wilson being nowhere to be seen is slightly concerning with the competitive stuff not far away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully just balancing injury risk and making room for the younger guys and trialists 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 A shame not to see Savoury involved. Hope it’s not going to be a while before he’s seen on the pitch again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starshot131 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Tbf, we're playing east Fife here, no real point putting out a standard first team. Celtic will be the test for what we think is our best 11 I reckon Wilson, Welsh, savoury, tizzard and crew well be back in good time I'm sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of Caley fans sad to see him go (maybe because he's a local lad though). His dad runs a decent pub in 'sneckie too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidersmad Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Late change to the starting XI with Trialist 1 starting and McCormick moving to the bench. C'mon P&B spies, we need to know who Trialist 1 is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starshot131 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I've been out of the house so not able to watch the ppv (or go to fife, for that matter), anything interesting going on? Any of the new boys looking interesting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the new boys looking interesting? You are not missing much. We were tidy and dominant in the first half. Couple of half decent chances but not put away. Wholesale changes at half time. Very scrappy second half with East Fife having the best chance of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Second half was basically a Lowland League B team. Was pretty much exactly what I expected as a spectacle with what we currently have at our disposal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Not a great spectacle. Only pre season I guess and it’s about getting sharpness in the legs for the league campaign. Not much to get excited with but thought Mauchin looked the pick of the bunch. Think there’s a real chance he becomes a regular this season at right back Desperately need more signings Edited July 2 by qpfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 First half QP shaded possession without creating anything. Trialist 16 for EF missed a one on one. Second half EF dominant, Shepherd also denied by the keeper. Of the three Championship sides we've faced, hate to say it, but Raith have looked the best. Dumfy poor, QP average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs bearing in mind that second half was basically our B side with a number of trialists. Wouldn’t be reading much into that. Having said that no idea how strong a line up either Raith or Dunfermline stuck out against you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We mixed things up a bit more in all three games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
