Confidence is growing, the passing becoming slicker; but is an away game, different surface; 2-1 win for QP.

That said, you still must decide on how to spend the budget wisely. Seasoned pros or promising youngsters, experienced manager or next the next bright young thing. An example being the bold decision to part with a winning manager in Ray McKinnon. Having the biggest budget is no guarantee of success - although admittedly a huge advantage. There are too many talented players among a lot of teams in this league to take anything for granted. Against Dumbarton, before we scored the third, it could have easily been 2-1 with 15 mins left to play.

Having watched the highlights this morning; the passing leading up to each goal was very pleasing to the eye. Laurie Ellis must take a lot of credit for the way the team have changed their style of play and improved since last season.

Agreed; whilst frustrated at the way communication has been handled so far, I am encouraged by the steps taken to ensure we have the correct structure in place first, for where we want to be.

Cathcart.

Am looking forward to this one, restriction free, not too far to travel for both sets of supporters, both teams starting well, - should be decent crowd. 2-1 to the Queen's.

I was really surprised watching the Cove tactics of lying about on the surface for most of the first half. They are a big strong team and yet crumpled under the slightest of touches from our wee boys. Stuart Morrison, what a performance. Am really pleased at the way we continue to pass the ball about the park.

It's a unique position within the team and therefore will require specific training.

Agreed; the Cove squad look to have more experience and are certainly a club that are used to winning games, play-offs and leagues over the past few seasons. Am looking forward to this one. I would take a draw, but feel we could win this by the odd goal - 2-1 to the Queen's.

Being passionate is never an excuse for abuse.

There is no need to go out of your way to abuse your own player, even if they have played badly. The excuse of "I pay your wages" is never justifiable. That said, I still believe that Bob will do well this season. His career stats are not too bad.

That would be a wee shame; I think he could do us a good turn this season.

I have now renewed my Member's Ticket; does this allow me to go to the Motherwell game?

Whilst frustrated with the lack of communication with us, the members/ STH; the core support; the overall direction of travel does excite me. The promotion last year, the recruitment ahead of this season both on and off the field, the Ladies team, the U18's success and the Community Summer programmes for the school kids. All I ask is to be treated an adult; share the bad news about the re-development of Lesser, the task of securing a "home" ground for this season and when we might be able to buy tickets. Anyways, a run of victories and top of the league by the next International-break and all this will be forgotten about.

She may be doing an excellent job; but if you don't know about it....

You wait weeks for any Club communication, then three emails at once containing the same survey.

Am quite encouraged by the signings and the signal it sends. Youth to be given a chance.

GDPR gone mad I tell you; why can't we get to read the detail of someone's Employment Contract.

Ray's short stint is not too so out of the ordinary when you consider how few managers actually last beyond the three year mark: List of Scottish Professional Football League managers - Wikipedia This a fresh appointment and removed from the merry-go-round usual suspects.

This is an upgrade. Young, ambitious and wants to be there!

This is a good appointment. I believe that Ray initially felt League 2 was beneath him and was hesitant in taking on the QP role. Passing the role to Laurie makes sense, he knows the players and set up; with lots of change at the club necessary, having some consistency on the playing side is good management.

I would not rule MM out entirely; after all, if Show Racism the Red Card said the following, back at the time: Anti-racism groups back Malky Mackay for SFA job - BBC News "In a statement issued to BBC Scotland, Show Racism the Red Card said: "After admitting to sending text messages that were very regrettable and disrespectful to other cultures, Malky Mackay underwent equality and diversity training through an education programme with the FA and we wish him well in his new role at the SFA."

Makes sense to me; we must remember; that what got us here will not necessarily get us to where we want to go.

The only question is, which stadium?

That would be a shame if, as you say, you will be gone.
