Considering Henderson has only just arrived at the club, you have listed 6 players only some of whom have been present. We have fluctuated from around 5 to 9 first team players out injured this season, so by any respect that means 'reserves' have been playing mostly. None of which changes the fact that the league leaders couldn't beat a mid-table team with (by your list) four first team players missing - definitely points dropped rather than one gained.
Nothing wrong with an away point against an experienced club like Thistle. It was a great game with both sides playing good football.

Drove up from Aberfeldy to Inverness today - roads absolutely fine all the way. Had a look over at the Thistle ground as I passed and it was as white as the artic. Although a thaw is now forecast it's probably better that the game is off. Tuesday 31 - bring it on!

Today’s Herald: Are Queen's Park falling into the same traps as Gretna?
https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/23244946.queens-park-falling-traps-gretna/?ref=ebls
Summary - Cairney says we're just like Gretna, then says no we're not, then convinces himself we are.
Yawn

Well done to Raith. All the best for the semis

A quick note to any of our travelling support heading to Inverness this weekend. MacGregor's pub is closed for two weeks (I met some of you guys in there last time). Another venue will be needed.

There are kiosks/pie huts at both ends of the stand in the latest drawings but as has been pointed out there are many many remaining issues.
Such as that as well as losing some seats for segregration there will also be a minimum requirement for designated media seats as well.
How’s that capacity looking now…
All in all it is neither practical nor safe (most likely) to host Championship football.
I just wish the club would be upfront with what the larger plans are for the ground -eg. what's happening at the West Stand/Haughey Hill - surely we're no wasting the best vantage point for the ground with 40 seats! The north end, I accept, is a longer term project but what's the vision? All in all it's disappointing. The original redesign actually looked better than what we currently have.

Almost a year old, but this is the latest reference I can find to the current development at Lesser Hampden. There's nothing on the club website after the original proposals and a photo gallery of the works being carried out.

Supporters want a standing area but if you don't wear a wee QP tie on match day you can f**k off
I think there was a standing area planned in both the East and South Stands (not particularly big though).

You've made it!
Lots of hot takes on the push for the Premier League, wild theories about club ownership/being a newco (weird that Rangers fans are interested in that eh?), also one or two suggesting that Queens Park would be in cahoots with Celtic when it comes to voting on various SPFL issues, solely there for any veto that Celtic might wish to enforce. Not footballing purposes.
Brilliant link - cheers Northsea! 
Some grade one idiots in that forum.

Noticed a third floodlight pylon had been erected last week at the south west corner, a fourth is lying behind the goal at the north end of the ground.
Anyway, as enjoyable as recent performances and results have been, each win is magnifying the absolute mess Leanne Dempster and the committee have made of Lesser.
To put it into perspective, they have now taken longer to build a single tier 1,200 capacity stand than it took to build the 17,000 capacity two tier stand at the main stadium in the late nineties.
Progress is woefully slow on this project. Ok, covid delayed things a bit but it's been more than a year since the bulk of restrictions ended and finishing up with just one small stand and a strange development for the top bods on the other side is not the outcome I was expecting. Still, when the original (ok, but not brilliant) plans were superseded we were promised something 'bigger and better' - I'd like to know what these plans are.

We had Eze up against Akinyemi thats why
... and that got three bad games combined into one.
In retrospect, I'm actually ok with that

Still absolutely baffles me how bad QP were in the 5-0 scudding a few months ago. Our next game should be a bit closer you’d imagine.
I'm still annoyed we threw away a two goal lead against you at the start of the season! I have nightmares about Akinyemi scoring against us. Can you leave him out of the team next time?

QP must be due their wobbly spell of the season, the rest of us have all had ours so Queens must be due to start soon
We had that in October and got it out our system - two defeats and a draw (I thought you guys might remember). We got our act together pretty quickly and won the next game 4-0.

Great work and result by the team today. Happy days!

Great work as Queen's let Hartley know what he's in for.

Not an easy game for us. Cove will be up for it after their thumping last week by Caley and with the return of Hartley to provide a bit of grit. I just hope we can maintain the standards we have set ourselves but still worry that a slump is going to hit our form at some point.
No slump today though, 2-0 Queens.

Seen on Twitter this pic which shows that Ferrie has made the most saves in the league this season by a fair distance. There were justified question marks placed on him before the season started and I do think he still gets harshly critiqued in some moments during games but he’s proving to be an excellent keeper at this level. Distribution has came on leaps and bounds and his aerial presence is getting there, although still not perfect
Absolutely brilliant shot stopper and his kicks away from goal have improved immensely this season. I still get the heebie jeebies with cross balls or corners though. That said, I'd still have in goal - he saved a good few points for us last year.
The fact that he has to make so many saves is something we need to address though.

I always have a worry about our games v Cove. They seem to do well against us so I hope we're up to the challenge this time. With the departure of McIntyre they just might take a different approach and put in a performance.
