cristo Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Kane scores again for QOS. The pundits are talking as if it's not yet decided where he'll spend the second half of the season? Get him back and straight in the team for the cup game while he's in form like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMillan will be backed up by McLean if not the other way round unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, I wasn't sure if Mcmillan would go straight in but Macca will almost certainly for his experience if nothing else. Potential banana skin, can't afford any slip ups.

On BBC website that he will be talking to Wright & Saints this week. Queens expecting him to go back as he is in goal scoring form. Would expect Kane to want conformation he will not be sitting in the stand most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wright himself said last week that Kerr and Kane were returning. I'll go with that rather than the BBC, who regularly get our line up wrong on Sportscene. Only way that changes is if Kane forces an extension to the loan, or we have another striker signed and joining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if saints want him back then that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broon Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 McGrandles was a really well thought of player at Falkirk. Be interesting to see how he's developed as a player since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I thought McGrandles signed a 2 year deal at MK Dons in the summer, in which case he's not out of contract either.

Kyle Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Transfer markt reckons McGrandles contract expires this summer. Worth an offer but I think he'll fancy staying in England a wee while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks like you are correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGrandles McGrandles signed a two-year contract with Milton Keynes Dons in May 2017. http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2017/05/18/ex-hearts-boss-robbie-neilson-key-former-falkirk-kid-conor-mcgrandles-switch-norwich-city-mk-dons/?platform=hootsuite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss75990 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Considering Tommy has said there will be 3 or 4 coming in this window, I hate how quiet it all is. It would be a waste of time bringing in a last minute loan deal. When was the last one of them that actually worked out well?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 O'Halloran signed right at the start of January. Swanson is a grand shout though - he was announced about half an hour before the window closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Mikey Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Tansey rumour to County on loan from Aberdeen. Ciftci loan to Motherwell rumoured also. Two players who’d certainly improve the starting XI. 9th January and still quite quiet. I hope TW is not expecting MOH back as I’m pretty sure he won’t be. Pedro the Pony didn’t like him but I think Murty does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell have the Moult money to play with aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 What do folk see as being our priorities, positional wise? With Maclean, Johnstone, Macmillan and Kane coming back, do we need another forward, as surely 4 in our squad would be about right in terms of numbers? Although our defence hasn't been great, the one positive has been when anyone has been injured, it's been our young players who've provided cover rather than older fringe players; Gordon, Comrie and Tanser have all done well. I'd be happy enough if we didn't sign any new defenders. Wide players and a centre midfielder who can keep the ball maybe (similar to Millar) the main targets?? 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Tansey has been rubbish for the past 18 months, on his current form he’d not improve us at all. As for Cifti, again he’s hardly kicked a ball in 2 seasons, you just don’t know what kind of player you’re getting there. I’d rather we didn’t take the chance on him.

Personally I think we're crying out for fresh experienced defenders to come in. Sentimentality aside, for me Ando is past it at this level, Championship is about right for him now. I don't see Gordon as being good enough either to take the starting position, so yeah I'd like a new CB in the window. Comrie has done very well with his opportunities, though it's unfortunate his injury will likely keep him out for the rest of the season, Foster is just a bomb scare at the moment! As for Tanser, there is a player in there, though he appears to be very much a confidence player, and we've all see what he's like when said confidence is gone, very poor. Shaughnessy is Mr dependable, though there are areas in which he could improve, and Easton? Injury aside has not looked up to it at all this season , carrying far too much weight these days. The mere fact that we have been shipping goals in almost every game this season, especially from set pieces screams blue murder that we need to recruit at the back. The coaches have had half a season to sort it out and bar the odd game, nothing seems to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Is Comrie out for the rest of the season?? I hadn't heard that. Don't know why you think Gordon isn't up to it, I don't think he's looked out of place and hardly put a foot wrong in the games I've seen. Disagree about Ando as well, he's still had some very good games, just at times his concentration and decision making have been poor. He's still a very good defender on his day. Foster I agree about, a capable player but he's too much of a liability for me in terms of the drama he brings. Tanser as well, has looked very good in some games, but in others has looked like a nervous wee laddie.. I think maybe he just needs a run of games to get his confidence up. I think with Comrie, Gordon and Kerr emerging, I like the idea of gradually introducing these lads rather than going off and signing a journeyman as a stop gap. 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
