Just a fantastic display by the Southside Galacticos. Lovely stuff.

Feels like this is going to have more to do with Scotland pre-Euros than QP next season?
A second Royal Box is the most Queen’s Park outcome.

Any scenario where Robin Veldman remained in charge this season would have seen us with significantly less points than we have now, regardless of January signings.
He was a disaster and I saw nothing to suggest things would improve.
Aye. It’s hard to overstate just how bad it was. Opposition fans openly laughing at how we set up.

Doesn't change the fact that Davidson's currently doing no better a job with a stronger squad.
Marginally stronger squad, aye. We were absolutely rubbish under Veldman. Honking. Dreadful. Stinking. There were very, very few occasions when I believed we could get a result. I don’t go into games feeling like that now, despite the recent ropey spell. Don’t think Thomas’ absence was a coincidence in terms of the recent poor run. We have no squad depth.
Saturday showed me that we’re still up for the fight and that’s going to have to continue to be the case. If it is a playoff, it’s important that we go into it off the back of solid performances. It’s going to be about getting the basics right. If we can do that, we have absolutely nothing to fear from the coming games, however many of them there are.

Davidson Ball hardly gets you off your seats tbf.
He had to make us more solid. Defending has been far from Franco Baresi, but we don’t look like we’re going to lose a goal every time the opposition crosses the halfway line either. We’re going to need a big turnover of players, regardless of what league we’re playing in. Too many guys who are just “ok” on their day.

Must win. It really is that simple. If we can’t beat a team that Veldman’s QP managed to take six points from, then we frankly don’t deserve to avoid a relegation playoff.

If a relegation threatened Queens Park was the best job he could get on the back of winning the double then it's hard to see how adding a relegation to his CV and then getting out would result in a better job than Queens Park.
If QP go down it would mean probably Hamilton coming up, meaning League 1 should be shooty-in for a side with QP's budget next season and someone like Paton under contract. It would be a really attractive job and I think he'd be daft to walk away at that point.
We desperately need a period of stability. No manager has had more than one season in the role since we turned pro. It’s no way to operate.
We knew relegation was still an obvious risk when we appointed Davidson and so did he. If it happens, we get on with it. We’ve spent too much time making it up as we go along. We’d also have a full two years of a contract to pay up and we cannot keep doing that.

Here’s one to ponder. How do we think Veldman would have got on this season if he had Sheridan, Wilson and Welsh (plus McKinstry & Scott) from the start?
The style of football and the stubbornness to deviate even slightly from it would still have ended in disaster imo. Ridiculously high line, trying to score the same goal constantly, whilst conceding the same one at the other end. Thrown under the bus by Beuker, but he didn’t help himself either.

If you compare attendances in the Championship and League One (without Falkirk) then it paints a very stark picture in terms of income. Relegation would be disasterous from that point of view.
Aye. We have to get ourselves into a way of thinking that Haughey’s money isn’t always going to be there. Take his money away, stick us in League One and the trap door becomes an issue for us again.

I understand wanting a bit of stability (something we've not had in a while), but if we get relegated Davidson will have played a massive part in that. There would be a very strong case for getting rid and starting again with someone who's done well at that level before.
You can’t really rebuild a squad in January and you’re basically taking what you can get from the slim pickings. For me, the overwhelming majority of the damage this season has been caused by people who are no longer at the club, both at football and executive level. If the worst happens he’s obviously not totally blameless, but there have been enough flashes since he came in to show me he’s got something to offer.

But will he want to stick with us?
I suspect he would. Having a team being relegated to League One and then walking doesn’t look great on the CV. He’ll have had to have factored it in as a realistic possibility as well.

Is Davidson a fraud?
He inherited an absolute shambles. Even we go down, we should stick with him.

Dreadful game of association rules football. The reddest of red cards missed by the ref and McKinstry looking decent the only notable things.

Invite Dabrowski to the POTY awards if we avoid the playoff.

Not sure that questioning the integrity of a group of people, with nothing on the line, who he might need to get him a result, is necessarily the genius move that he thinks it is.
They have the option of bursting themselves to prove an idiot wrong or phoning it in and making life difficult for him. I know what would be more appetising to me in that circumstance. I don’t actually think that’s how footballers consciously think when they’re out on the park, but I definitely don’t think I’d be going all guns blazing with doing him a favour in mind.

If he’s 50-50, I’d say nothing. If he’s out for the season, I’d say something. Hopefully at least plays some part on Saturday. His performance at EEP last time was arguably his best in a QP jersey.

Must win. I don’t think Raith are winning at Inverness on Friday.

I see from Owen Coyle Jnr's post on Linkedin that his dad has taken Chenaiyin FC to the play offs in India. Well done to Owen Snr! A celebratory (curried?) fish supper beckons I am sure
Had his weaknesses and blind spots, but up until February last season was the best football I’ve ever seen from a QP team. Clear he wasn’t willing to drink the Beuker Kool-Aid and that’s why he went. Wish him nothing but the very best.

Can’t appear to find the playoffs dates for Chamionship/League One. Anyone point me in the right direction?

Felt for the guy tbh - he wasn't given much of an opportunity to make any kind of an impact.
Needs to go somewhere and play a full season of regular football. Fact he wasn’t getting a game in League One and came back down the road from Cove probably tells us the level he’s currently at.

Lack of depth in the squad is there for everyone to see. Kids and guys who simply aren’t good enough for the Championship. There was nobody on that bench capable of changing a game or even creating a spark. Williamson came on and ran about a bit, but we need more than that.

If we have to do a Weekend at Bernie’s effort with a deceased Dom Thomas, it’s a better bet than the alternative.

If we’d even been mediocre at Hampden, we’d be safe already.
