But it's not someone I'd be over the moon coming back as I'm hoping for a bit better. But for Annan he's clearly a brilliant player and he's more than capable in League 1. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the two goalies we rotated this season are decent shot stoppers and young enough with time to get better, however, for me they both didn't command their 6-8 yard space well enough and a lot of the goals we lost were from crosses into that space. How is Stone in this department? I've not seen many weaknesses in his game. Maybe useful yardsticks would be our games in the Big Cup against "quality opposition" in Dundee United and St Mirren. We beat United although they battered us with something like over 30 odd attempts on goal and Stone was outstanding in keeping the United attack at bay that day. In the following round up in Paisley he only conceded one goal against a top six side - albeit in a game with few chances given that Queens parked the proverbial bus that day. I think that the Jambos have high hopes for Stone. He's a good un. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have added, I think he's better than Dabrowski who we had on loan from Hibs and who has been getting rave reviews at Raith recently. Dabrowski was good and he loved a "Hollywood save" for the cameras but I wasn't all that sure that he commanded his box that well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite entitled to your view but to provide enough goals to get us into the playoffs I wouldn’t be confident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only base my assessment of Goss on how he was when he played for us previously and in the 3 games against Annan I saw last season. To me, he still looks a yard off the pace, and in the said Annan games although he got himself into decent positions he then proceeded to miss a hatful of chances, ballooning headers left, right and skywards but rarely on target, or nodding the ball on to where there were no Annan players. No offence to the lad - he's a trier - but if he's the best we can get we're in for another tortuous season.

Slipmat Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Swinglehurst leaves Annan. A possible signing target for Murphy? (No idea what his job outside the game is, mind). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always a knife-edge moment with them. Both very highly competent keepers though. And some very memorable performance from both. But there’s something absolutely solid, confident and comfortable about Stone in his last 5 months at Queens. As previously stated, he’s an all-rounder. But theres a maturity and even temperament there. I hope to see his career flourish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezz aim higher.. I think most of us can realistically appreciate that we will be fishing in the murky pool of lower end full time players or part timers willing to step up. It is to be hoped that Murphy proves good enough take these type of players and mould them into a competitive unit. No doubt we will be bolstered by some loan players, hopefully they're nearer the Harry Stone calibre than the Alex Ferguson one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
