DUMFRIES_CREW Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Since posting this i have heard from one of the players its only 1.5 hours 4 times a week! No wonder we are so bad what can the team/players expect to gain from that type of training! Get them in double sessions minimum until the can prove they want to play for Queens if they aint happy with that get Rid. Depends whats in there contract about training 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUMFRIES_CREW Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Next season may be the time to move training back to Dumfries full time. We could source players from north of england I know connolly tried that before but with right person in charge it could work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s about the quality and perhaps duration of the training rather than the venue. If it`s true the players only train 90 minutes each session then that`s an absolute joke. Taking the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt cost a penny to hire palmerston or arena At the moment we pay for broadwood 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Things are not great, but I don't think we should be soiling our pants just yet. Sourcing players from the north of England should always be a consideration. However, Connolly must have given everybody from that neck of the woods a shot with very mixed results! No, let's see how the next month pans out before we press the panic button. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Major cost saving is a benefit. Wouldnt cost a penny to hire palmerston or arena At the moment we pay for broadwood Increased cost of travel expenses if most players were still central belt would offset that to some extent. We`ve tried it before and there`s a reason we keep going back to training in central belt. Just my opinion though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Training location and duration has never been an issue since MacIntyre was toiling in his first few months a couple of seasons ago. Hmm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect the players themselves to be taking some ownership in this regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is just the management team I know what you are saying DC and I am as pissed off as everybody else. However, I think we should keep calm. Results have been disappointing, particularly as we have had a strong team for more or less the last four seasons. That said, it is the start of a new cycle and we have to be patient. The last time there was such an upheaval we were relegated, but we took a step back to come back much stronger. I can't see us being relegated, but equally I can't see us troubling the play off spots unless we turn things around soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fight and players look uninterested Wasted wages on new signings that cant get into team Am afraid it lands at managers feet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUMFRIES_CREW Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Then lose all the players from central Scotland. Players we have from central belt this season are our problem Our best player so far is from north of england in Jordan Marshall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Am going to say it again but why spend money on Oliver and not start him?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Am going to say it again but why spend money on Oliver and not start him?? He started 3 games and didnt really do very much, certainly not enough to justify starting him ahead of Smith or Hilson. The fact that we spent money on him is totally irrelevant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The question then becomes - why did we spend money on him when he doesn't really do very much? He disappointed since he signed but he had a decent reputation and is a good age. Its also early days. He hasnt played well so far but theres plenty of time for that to change. And, even if he doesnt, Fowler will hardly be the first or last manager to bring in a player and have it not work out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think Fowler has proven himself well at getting a team to stick together and play well last year but it is his first season at building his own team so I expected mistakes. The senior players have been in situations like this before and hopefully can pull us through this bad period and rebuild. Players we have from central belt this season are our problemOur best player so far is from north of england in Jordan Marshall And players from the central belt have also saved us from relegation, helped us get to Cup finals and qualified us for playoffs. Where players are from is not the reason we're in the situation we are in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
