19QOS19 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Colin Cameron played the other week for them. He's involved with the coaching side as well. I think they were having a bit of an issue getting the lads over from France in time so I imagine Cameron played to make up the numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield 53 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Not looking like we will sign anyone. In the latest podcast Skelton has said if the right player became available only then would he think of a new signing He is not looking to sign anyone wants the young boys to come in when we need them . It is a huge step from the under 20 team to the 1st team. You really need players with experience in this league the young players should be sent out on loan to get experience like Aiden Smith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 A few young players in the squad look there or there abouts in stepping up to the first team. I think the club has a good record of bringing on players. I won't be upset if we don't bring anyone else in. We have a good squad with decent strength in depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think the reality is that the step up isnt that big at all if the players in question are actually good enough - the big problem for Scottish football is that the Under 20 teams are littered with players who are simply not good enough and who have little or no chance of making it. It therefore looks like it is a big step up because the standard at that level is poor. I firmly believe that if a player is not ready for first team football at age 18 - 20 it is probably an ability thing. There will always be exceptions but in other sports we see 20 year olds at World No 1 level far less turning out for QOS in the second tier of Scottish football. The "big step up"phrase is an excuse to avoid saying the player is unlikely to be good enough and if you look at the results in the early rounds of the Challenge Cup very few of the Under 20 teams have managed to beat League 1/2 opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yep the u20 in the challenge cup have shown them up. Not all league 1/2 teams put out their strongest team and still got the job done. Again we seem to have some decent youth players who would be fine in this division or lower 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club has a good record of bringing on players. I won't be upset if we don't bring anyone else in. We have a good squad with decent strength in depth. I still think we need one or two, if injuries mount we arent covered enough cant rely on Moxon, Brotherston to make the difference from the bench every week, they need time even if brotherston has impressed. But Skelton is right no point signing for the sake of it, it needs to be an improvement on what we have eg the signing of Dobbie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the season is not riddled with injuries 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
