Short of a natural right back becoming available, if we're going to end up with O'Connor as first choice there my ideal scenario is signing Ricki Lamie and then having him and Baird as the first choice partnership, but obviously not sure how likely it is that Motherwell are actually going to move him on despite now being sixth choice centre back. I was going to say something similar. If we could get a decent decent half in and move O'Connor to right back then that might help us to be more defensively solid. It's all ifs, obviously.

Mr.Blue Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I'd heard a few weeks ago that king was due to go out on loan. Wondering if Wilson comes in that may happen? Could also be putting 2 and 2 together here but noticed Gillespie didnt budge off the bench on Saturday. He may be injured?

port-ton Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Genuinely had no idea that Crawford was 30. I had him in the 26-28 age bracket. It shows how good he's been that there are Scottish teams out there potentially willing to spend money on a 30 year old championship player who hasn't turned up trees anywhere else he's been. Edit to add: he's 29 I googled the wrong Robbie Crawford point still stands I guess.

Popular Post Alibi Posted August 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2023 The difference between Robbie Crawford before coming here and Robbie Crawford now is Dougie Imrie. Who's to say that if Crawford moves elsewhere, he will still perform at the level Imrie has got him to. He has become supercharged, but has he been doing it over a long enough period to convince clubs to sign him? Surely they would want to see him over a longer period before making a move? I'm wondering if this story is just a speculative piece based on the fact that Robbie has scored a few goals already this season, and maybe no coincidence that we are playing Therangers on Saturday so the press are looking at Morton more closely because of that. 5 "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

AyrshireTon Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Is Wilson (if he ends up with us) cup-tied? McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

As far as I can see, he hasn't featured in any of Queens' competitive matches so far this season. He got injured in pre-season and hasn't been seen since.

AyrshireTon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Garrity named MotM in Annan's 3-1 win over Stranraer last night. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie.

port-ton Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Imrie in the tele saying that Wilson can play rightback, centreback and centre midfield so makes sense why he wanted him as long as he can get and stay fit.

Got to be to play at centre back to allow either O'Connor back to right back or take Broadfoot's place and play with O'Connor at CB and Blues RB. the thought of Wilson at RB with his pace gives me the fear. here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamCam Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 The thought of Wilson anywhere in the back line gives me the fear. Aside from running as if he is towing a caravan he was never that great in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imrie said he hopes to get the deal over the line by the end of the week. Funds are available to possibly bring in further signings but nothing expected before the Rangers game Also said there hasn’t been contact from any other clubs about Crawford and that he is basically laughing it off as paper talk until he recieves a phone call or a fax expressing an interest.

RossMcC1874 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Confirmed also on twitter. Really hope this isn't an indication that Crawford might be away I know Imrie said there has been no contact but he always keeps his cards close to his chest. Wilson is a decent enough signing pretty versitile and can play a few positions, wouldn't have him as a right back or centre half in a million years but Dougie knows him better than me. Also didn't realise he was only 24 felt like he was about for ages also the fact its only a loan deal means if he doesn't really come good then we are stuck with him. But please let's sign a natural right back next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampTon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I just think this is an odd signing. Imrie mentioning he can fill in at the back is worrying enough. He's slow and lanky, not ideal for a RB. I could see King going on loan until January. If we can get two signings in I'd be making 1 and giving Crawford a new deal.

Mr.Blue Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I like Wilson as a player and thought he did well with us after a slow start. Being able to play in a few different positions is a real positive and I couldn't believe it when I read he was only 24. Need to hope he can stay fit as I do think he'd be an asset to the team. Power and him in the midfield could be a right bastard to play against.

port-ton Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 King is surely our back up left back so I can't see him being sent out on loan unless we bring in someone versatile enough to play there when needed.

TRVMP Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If we play high up like we did at 2-2 on Saturday, and Wilson's at DR, we'll get done pretty often. I like him as a midfielder but unless he's been at the sprints he's a risk at fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll be sending King on loan regardless - even with the new signings he's not as far down the pecking order as Garrity was - but this is why I was hoping for Lamie or a similar type of centre back who can also cover left back, because that really isn't a comfortable option if Waters ends up out for any length of time.
