die hard doonhamer Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can I ask the question then, do you think Nicky would have been offered a new contract if his father hadn't joined the management staff? I may be mistaken, but was Nicky not signed up before Sandy came in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Can I ask the question then, do you think Nicky would have been offered a new contract if his father hadn't joined the management staff? Thats the exact same question Let me ask you a question. If you had just taken up your first management post, were working on a limited budget, expected to win the league and knowing that failure may well be the end of your managerial career, would you waste a wage and squad place just to give your mates son a job? I may be mistaken, but was Nicky not signed up before Sandy came in? No, just over a week later. He may well have been offered a contract before Sandy came on board, I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just over a week later. He may well have been offered a contract before Sandy came on board, I have no idea. No would be my answer to that. I think we'll have to agree to dis-agree on this topic. I hope we go on and do well in all the cups, win the league and the area will be better for it and if at the end of the season Nicky has scored a barrow full of goals 'll be the first to come on here and hold my hands up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not too sure on Young, never been that impressed when I've seen him but still, will give him a chance. I actually think Lyle could be a good signing. He looks stronger than last time round, he's obviously more experienced. I think he could be good for the team, not necessarily as a goalscorer. As far as Clark is concerned I don't think he is as bad as some make out. He is still very young and could improve as time goes by. I have been watching Queens for a long time and often a young guy comes in and you think " where did they get that numptie? " but after a year two develop into a stalwart for the club. Crawford Boyd springs to mind and there have been others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossQOS Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 His records not exactly great, 1 in 18 for the champions of this league and only 29 in 130 for us so far. Not the worst for a winger though (where he has played in pre-season) and he looked good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Harris pretty much hit the ground running with the club.... I seem to remember him being very shaky at the start. Or my memory is awful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Why would we agree to disagree when you've just agreed with me? Where have I agreed with you? I said No I wouldn’t have signed Clark and that I hope we do well this season. Based on what I’ve seen so far of him I personally don’t think he’ll score a “barrow full” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Where have I agreed with you? I said No I wouldn't have signed Clark and that I hope we do well this season. Based on what I've seen so far of him I personally don't think he'll score a "barrow full" You agreed that in the manager's shoes, you wouldn't sign a player just to keep your assistant sweet. The implication is that Johnston probably wouldn't either. On the subject of players who developed after poor starts, Craig Reid certainly fits the bill. When he did get chances, he really struggled, costing us a goal in Denmark and usually looking out of his depth. Overnight though, something seemed to click and he became easily our best defender. Another example from further back would be Graeme Robertson. Edited August 4, 2012 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Clark featured regularly last season when his Dad had nothing to do with the club so let's put that bollocks suggestion to bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, I did try to tell you all that Clark played very well last week and was coming onto a game but some were not having it . Maybe some should listen a bit more ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Three goals in two games for the much maligned Clark. Is this a sign of things to come? Still, 5-2 against a possible title contender certainly lays down a marker for the season to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, I did try to tell you all that Clark played very well last week and was coming onto a game but some were not having it . Maybe some should listen a bit more ! What are you talking about? He clearly missed two chances today ... should have been 7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Decent result. 5 goals is never bad especially as we were without 3 of our best attacking options in Smith, Carmichael and Gibson. Pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkyblue2 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Clark took his goals well today and he looked a lot better than last season, maybe this is his level. Still think Reilly should start, what's wrong about playing them both upfront? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Great performance thought mitchell was top notch today,the boy can deliver a ball, and dan orsi played well too. Delighted for nicky clark hopefully this season he will be slotting more goals in. Happy days. Should be good when we have smith carmichael and gibson to come back into the team too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
