So far he's been hampered by not being able to pick Brydon all season (perpetually injured), Church (injured twice), McClelland (2 red card suspensions), MacIntyre (cup-tied), Ambrose (didn't set his alarm clock) and Houston (no apparent reason) at one time or another. Of course that means that someone (usually Logan) has had to play in an unfamiliar role and been found wanting, or even worse, Paul McKay, the one player out of all of our defenders that you'd prefer to be either injured, suspended, cup-tied, dropped through a lack of professionalism or just because he's a pea-hearted shitester, has been drafted in to contribute more than most to our defensive clown shows. Sadly Brydon's still 2-3 weeks away from starting. There's training and then there's training! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he stopped there though as he only managed 4 in total, and 4 the season before as well. Clearly skilled to score these but ultimately no where near good enough overall unfortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I'd probably settle for only 4 from Mr McGuffie this season, provided they were all in the 4 games against the Bairns ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is his goals in the main come against dross in comfortable wins. 5 of his 7 last season were against Darvel, wick and Peterhead . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, his only goal for us so far has come against Championship side Thistle at Firhill ... Tbf he hasn't had many starts so far - and for the avoidance of doubt, I'm not suggesting that he's some kind of superstar in the making, but I've seen worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particks b team you mean in a cup tie that means very little. As I said previously we beat an understrength Partick side comfortably at this stage of that cup last season. It means feck all.

FFC 1876 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Mcclelland's biggest weakness at us was dealing with anything physical, even Gary Oliver had a field day with him last season in the cup against Hibs so I'm looking forward to seeing what big Ross MacIver does to him. Gibson and Mckechnie probably the only two players left who caused us issues last season for Queens and we'll see what we could have had in Alex Ferguson given someone mentioned we were keen on him over the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson is another one of our exe academy boys. We couldn't afford him though when he became available for loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipmat Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Ah... the much missed "Bairns vs QoS match thread descends into car-crash territory" scenario. Gives me a warm feeling of nostalgia for the good old days when we were both struggling in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
