I don't know what reason Wullie the manager isn't picking Wullie the player but I'm fairly confident age isn't a factor. Agree with this, and a greenie for calling him Wullie and not Willie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Willie has been great the last couple of seasons, but Dobbie scored 42 goals one season before age caught up with even him! I think Willie the manager has recognised that Willie the player is no longer the best option. Maybe age did catch up with Dobbie a bit but playing him as a lone striker or in formations which didn't suit him didn't do him any favours either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Irving - remember him? - could fill in in a winger/attacking role unless he's done a Chima and disappeared off the face of the earth.

When money is tight surely every pound we have should go to trying to add better quality to the squad not just signing someone for the sake of it. We are 3 players short but really can't see WG adding to the squad before tomorrow night . Loan signing does the window close at the end of September ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irving will be on a very low salary and money isn't tight, as has been widely discussed. Aye am sure he signed him for a laugh or a dare, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biblemaster Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I think as a 3rd tier side we should be looking to bring through young players rather than always wanting to sign "leftovers" (which is all that is left at this stage of the transfer window). Irving is being written off for a few poor performances as a very young kid at a higher level. We should be clambering to get him, Muir, McMahon, Johnstone, Gibson (L) more game time rather than looking to sign some 28 year old that Partick Thistle or somebody don't want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblemaster Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Agree with this, and a greenie for calling him Wullie and not Willie. Looking back, I've been reporting on "The Manager" since 2001 and he's been Willie most of that time. Is he now Wullie (even my spell checker wants to change that to Willie!) or should I go with one of my other favourites, "Sir William of Gibson"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for youth players getting game time but only if they're good enough. It's about getting the right balance which we've failed to get so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK_Queens Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 People crying out for a target man seem to have got it with the new signing, Ewan Bange. Nice to have another option. Sir Stephen still doing Queens favours, some guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs game time so probably in everyone’s interests. I think we’ve been done a massive favour here and hope it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Stephen still doing Queens favours, some guy. Going by his Twitter he'll be gutted he never joined last week...Can't find much on him tbh. Had a decent spell at one club and nothing worth noting at the other two. No idea what his style is either but you imagine looking at him that he will be a hold up play type rather than a nippy player like Connelly. Good to get another body in regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
