Distant Doonhamer Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I generally reserve judgement on new signings until I've seen them play for us. Hang on though, I have seen him play for us. He's shite. It's a dreadful signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS99 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I really can’t understand the thinking of letting Botterill leave and then going on and signing Stewart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I'm deciding to remain positive and the positive here is Stewart will undoubtedly be shite and therefore dropped fairly early. It'll finally give Cowie his chance and IMO he's ready for first team action so hopefully this signing is the break Cowie has needed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Sure queens will sign another goalkeeper can't just go with Stewart and the injured young Cowie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised if we bring in 3 goalkeepers* if we're running with a squad of 20. Cowie is a year younger than Stone was for the majority of the season so I'm not seeing him as a youth player. If he isn't good enough to feature now (which IMO he is) then he shouldn't have been given a contract. * Of course this may change in January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Not wanting to board a bandwagon, but it does look a concerning signing. Even leaving aside his spell with us, he's always looked vulnerable when I've seen him for Thistle on TV. I obviously hope he does well for us and will give him every chance. It does seem a funny one though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipmat Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 4 hours ago, qos_75 said: I wonder who the marquee signing will be that they teased us with on Friday. Maybe there has been a misunderstanding and it is Rod Stewart instead of Ross Stewart. Maybe, in anticipation of the big crowds rolling back in, we're buying an actual marquee to provide temporary cover at the Terregles Street end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblemaster Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Ross Stewart's really going to come in full of the confidence a goalkeeper needs if he's reading this. He hasn't made the grade at the 2 or 3 Premier League sides who thought he was worth giving a try, doesn't mean he isn't good enough for league 1. Last time round he came into a team in free-fall to replace a future Scotland squad player, but it was 5 years ago, players can improve in that time.

Otis Blue Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I get that first time around Stewart wasn't great with us, but on the plus side at least its not a 2 year deal like we've dished out for some proper duds in the past. So I'm going to park my judgement for the time being and see how his first few games go. I'm sure that players (or at least some of their pals) will dip into P&B club threads now and again and so the negative feedback is bound to get back to Stewart and God knows, of all the positions on the park it's the goalie's position that needs the most confidence. So I'm not gonna set out knocking the lad straightaway. On the subject of our keepers - does anyone know what the injury was that has been keeping Cowie out for so long? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree, he was good for us in the end but initially he was a concern (that's his second game). Think he's just too short to deal with crosses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I make that 2 keepers, 4 defenders, 6 midfielders and 2 (kind of) strikers so far ... think we need to see some action up front next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think it was the second Thistle goal where I thought surely he could have come and claimed that ball ... but then the camera angles can be deceiving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his confidence is shot looking at a football message board then it's an even worse signing than I thought. It was 5 years ago and he's racked up about 12 games since that time. Kind of says it all. Dress it up any way you want, it's an awful signing. Cowie will feature more than him this season, calling it (and praying for it) now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, and I know it's unlikely, but if Connelly, Gibson, McGuffie, Mimnaugh, Currie & Ross were all to re-sign, that would fill the 20 squad places that we are supposedly running with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, fair point - but as you say, we'll not land all six of them. However, that might not be bad - you never know, we might get one or two (hopefully pleasant) surprises in the six. I'm staying in positive mode here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
