  1. Be interesting to see if Dykes can continue to turn it on against the likes of Hamilton and St Mirren on  a wet Tuesday night in winter. In my experience over the past couple of seasons  - possibly not. Having said that ddese4rved win and he played well. Be nice to see some consistency from refs wrt players kicking the ball away though. I reckon Livvy could have had 4 or 5 bookings for this in the last 5 minutes alone.

  2. I was expecting a more spectacular goal from what I'd read.  Kelly catches it nicely, but it looks saveable to me.
     


    Actually having seen the replay I’ve gone the other way. On the day from behind the goal I thought Holt could have got closer to the striker and maybe the keeper would be disappointed not saving it.
    From the stand though it looks a strong connection and really didn’t give anyone much of a chance.
  3. I thought McCrorie was unsighted tbh. Will need to see it back first. In any case, I put blame on the person who left the attacker wide open to pick his spot ahead of McCrorie.
     
     

    Aye we thought Holt switched off for the goal. Wouldn’t blame the keeper but suspect he’d probably be disappointed not to save it as he was very close to it.

    Whether Queens could or should have been 3 up, we were definitely on top prior to the goal and had missed several decent chances. About 20 minutes in I said to my mate that this was exactly the sort of game we usually end up losing 1-0....

    I wouldn’t be too tough on Faisal for shooting when through on keeper. Having spent much of the last 12 months watching the rest of our team pass up obvious shooting opportunities in favour of trying to pass to Dobbie, it’s refreshing to see someone else prepared to have a go. He missed a couple but expect him to pay his way in goals in due course.
  4. Soooooo.....I thought the keeper showed he’s not scared to have a go at crosses but looked a bit nervous. That’s still a notch or two higher on the goalie scale than Martin and suggests some potential at least. Also felt we played some nice one touch football in patches particularly early on and created a decent number of half chances in the game. Sure Dobs would have nabbed one or two. Semple looked a bit heavy to me but he seems mobile enough. The big guy up front Hamilton already feeling more effective than Dykes for me.

    Perhaps, but unfortunately for him I see his best position as the one Dobbie plays in and he's not going to start ahead of him.  If he is starting out wide then I'd be concerned about our options out wide as he hasn't really done a lot when played there.

    I like Murray and I hope he features more this coming season.  I think for him and the team though the best chance of that is coming on as a replacement for Dobbie.

    To be fair though Dobbie went through a fairly prolonged spell of unDobbieness last season where the main issue was we didn't have any obvious replacement. I'd hope AJ in those circumstances has the balls to drop him to the bench and play Murray.

    Really pleased with Callum Semple resigning for us . The question is thou is why has he resigned with us because when he came on loan from Sheffield Utd everyone thought it was because of gn connection with them as a ex player wonder if it is a connection with a agent . Really think there is a player there and really hope he does well for us and pleased with all signing club has made maybe the board deserve a bit of credit for the way they are backing manager as every signing been quality so far

    Thought he showed a fair bit of potential when with us but far from the finished article. Hope he's progressed a bit on his holidays up north. I'd have liked to see Doyle stay mind you for a bit of his enthusiasm and commitment.

    He’s pretty pish tbh.

    No that's harsh. On his day he could be one of our most positive players when he goes on a run, but I think he wasn't maybe encouraged to do this often (Naysmith tactics) or maybe hes a confidence player and wasn't always feeling up to it. Definite ability on the ball but as others hinted maybe not always to much end product.

    He wasn't given a fair chance with us the last time around so I'm certainly not gutted. He'll have the legs to do Dobbie's running and is capable of finding the net himself. Not a bad signing IMO.

    Yeah I've liked what I saw of him when we played against him at Morton. Cant really recall having much on an opinion on him when he was at Queens. Chance he's developed since then so lets see what hes got to bring to the party.

    Totally agree was one of the few players I would have kept out of last seasons squad a good honest hard working professional.Does all the dirty  work that some times goes unoticed  will be a loss but it was always going to happen. 

    Absolutely agree wrt his attitude. Cant fault it. Bit error prone but as said above  - worth seeing who we get in to replace him. 

  10. If you think that's bad have you seen what happened at St Mirren with the tickets for the playoff final. Seems they accidentally released  tickets for public sale for all the season ticket holders seats so most of them cant sit where they usually do and quite a few haven't got tickets at all! That would be quite funny if it wasn't so.... nah its just funny.

    If you’re marking that down as a good game by Martin then it just shows how horrifically bad he has been for us.

    He literally threw the ball straight to an attacker tonight.

    I'll take just the one mistake. Its definitely an improvement. And Dykes goal (no way was the 3rd his) was just so not Lyndon you have to applaud it and hope he remembers how he did it.

  12. Nothing surprises me with Billy, but thought Mark had more class about him. Disappointed with events on and off the pitch. Could be a wee bit uncomfortable for the directors next weekend.

    It does have the air of an unplanned decision about it. I don’t know the chairman at all but Craig and Mark are both thoroughly decent guys and Queens to the core. I wouldn’t disagree with the decision. Timing wise it’s maybe a few months too late but definitely better late than never in this case. I already feel a lot more optimistic about the playoffs now than I did before.

  13. Our defending in open play was once again fine in that first half. We limited County to basically nothing whilst creating decent chances of our own.

    Our defending of set plays is fucking pitiful though. As it is one aspect we definitely can work on in training it is unacceptable that we haven’t fixed this glaring issue.


    Absolutely it’s unbelievable how poor we are at that. And I have to say we don’t seem able to sign a keeper with an aptitude for catching crosses
