Meatbaw Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Dean Smith has turned down an offer from QoS looks like he will be going part time elsewhere, have watched the lad play and think to further his career a move away to a lower league team & a better chance of first team football will help his career,good luck Dean.Dean is a sound player who on his day can ghost past players fun,he's also got an eye for goal,didn't quite show what he's capable of when he played for the first team unfortunately. I'd think Eddie Warwick would have happy to keep him for another year..good luck in the future to the boy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with Supersouth, think it would be a good option to move elsewhere and try to get more first team game time. Pretty sure I read in the newspaper last season that Dean was going out on loan to Annan to further his development but this never happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars fan Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Paton and Mckenna good enough signings for the Pars do you reckon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Paton and Mckenna good enough signings for the Pars do you reckon?Mckenna moving away but wouldn't surprise me if Paton signed for Pars best friends with Nicky son of your assist manager Sandy Clark, good player injury prone tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Paton gets a hard time of it from fans as being "injury prone" He picked up one bad hamstring injury which kept him out for about 4 months but apart from that nothing major and he went the rest of the season from December without missing any more games through injury. Looks like McKenna isn't moving abroad after all and Im sure alot of fans will be disappointed he is swapping us for the Pars. Not a great player but gives his all and scores the occasional worldie. Hes a decent tackler but his passing range and choice is at times a bit off. As for Paton, he is one of those guys who its hard to decide what his best position is. He is an excellent dribbler and has decent end product,but his lack of pace sometimes doesn't match his clever brain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I am not sure what the story is with McKenna - clearly if he is looking for a job outside football then not much to be done. Have to say that I would be disappointed to see him go to Dunfermline or any other full time team for that matter. For me he is exactly the type of player that we should be retaining - surprised if he chooses DAFC over us but perhaps he simply wasnt wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Yes, but you're talking about the quality of the team of late, rather than the size of the club. Suggesting they're kind of on a par stature wise with us, strikes me as reasonable enough. You're right in that if you have a pretty shit team for long enough, your stature diminishes - nobody knows that better than Queens fans of a certain age. However, as things stand, Ayr are in the same bracket as us, except for on the pitch. Yeah, but as you say there comes a point where a team have been performing at a lower level for so long that they cease to be a team performing below the level they should be at and the size of the club gradually declines in line with their performances on the pitch. They may one day in the future establish themselves in the second tier again, but as it stands in size as well as performances Ayr are just a middling third tier club like Brechin or Peterhead. That could change again - see how quickly Hamilton rose in stature or how quickly Clyde became an irrelevance - but as it stands Queen of the South are a far bigger club than Ayr United.

Homer Thompson Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Paton signs for the tinky townie Least surprising news ever Home to Stranraer in the challenge cup. Decent draw.

19QOS19 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Would have preferred it away, but it could have been a lot worse. Good draw in all honesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Away to Stranraer is always the dream cup tie, but I'll settle for a winnable home draw. As Mr X says it might pull in an extra few punters as well. Good luck to Paton on his move. The writing was on the wall for him when he was left on the bench at Ibrox in the playoff game. He has all the potential to be one of the best players in that league. Perhaps Alan Johnston is the man to bring it out of him where others have failed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QosLoyal Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Is marshall signed as someone who will be in the under 20s or will he be back up / challenge rutherford? Happy with fowler bringing youth in i think we still need another winger and centre mid/attacker. then we are sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with fowler bringing youth in i think we still need another winger and centre mid/attacker. then we are sorted. Fowler's comments suggest that he'll be in the first team squad. Happy with Jacobs and Hilson, while Marshall is a complete unknown to us. Positive stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Kyle Jacobs, now that's more like it. He can play CM,RM or even RB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
