Total control. Played at the pace of a training match. Second half was poor but pleased to see Slater looking hungry. More impressed with some than others but not going to criticise anybody at this stage. Can't wait for Simon Murray to be fit.
I thought the first half hour was played at a really fast pace by us, getting the ball to the forwards quickly (although not route one), pressing Rovers players when they had the ball, forcing them into bad passes or clearances.
Game slowed down a bit after that, my only criticism would be we didn't get a third goal to put it beyond Rovers.

Sounds like you’ve had a say in his appointment with those words, very defensive
I’d bloody expect his tenure to be successful with the cash he has to splash. I don’t remember Mark Roberts getting such luxuries. Ludicrous to compare him to any previous manager.
His plan is to climb ‘leagues’. If he fails to win the league this year with his budget then he shouldn’t be the man to do that job at Queen’s Park. From what I see though he’s the sugar saviour and everyone is to fall in line.
So far I see a guy that’s crippled the old squad to build his own scheme with his loyalties. Shafting Galty (who I hear from a good source didn’t even get consulted on the captaincy) and let our young talent go to our competitors while we don’t even have a full bench. Can’t believe QP fans aren’t more challenging of the decisions of late.
I hope the attractive, dominant football starts soon. I’m sure it will with the squad we have.
I would be more inclined to pay attention to your thoughts if it wasn't for the fact that before moaning about McKinnon you moaned constantly about Mark Roberts and before him Gus MacPherson.
Definitely a glass half empty person.

Paul McGinn has been called up to the Scotland squad for the next two games joining Robertson and Shankland from the 12/13 team.
David Anderson must be next surely?

If you mean Euan East, he turned down an offer from QP so he wasn't released.
I took it that the second player was Nicky Jamieson going to Alloa.

Any reason why was he listed as trialist if he's signed?
A guess, but as he last played in North America, perhaps international clearance is still to be completed?

Serious question, folks. With you now turning semi-pro, coupled with Thistle's recent downturn in fortunes, is it conceivable that you might take their place as Glasgow's third club? You also have a more illustrious history, than they do.
Serious answer, I f***ing hope so!

I haven’t seen any bookies offering odds for the League One title yet but it’ll be interesting to see what QP start at. Odds on at this rate.
I'd imagine we'd be pretty long odds for league one this season!

I only hope that Queens have it all in writing, and have even got a "sell on" clause in the deal.
I wouldn't put it past this lot to sell Hampden, for the £30+ million Queens had it valued at, pay off the debentures and outstanding loans, and move to Ian Maxwell's beloved Murrayfield; which he quite clearly favoured in his statement, in the Herald, announcing the deal with Queens.
That was asked at one of the meetings last season and there is a sell on clause, although I don't think any timescale was mentioned about how long it lasts.
I think the SFA will hang on to Hampden and hope to get public money to do the stadium up if the UK gets the 2030 world cup. If we don't get it, they will sell it as soon as potential repayments to the debenture holders and lottery have expired and f off to Murray field.

Youth system? It is certainly proving to be working ... for Cumbernauld Colts!
It was also working for the likes of Aberdeen, Ross County and Hibs and not for us.
If we hadn't changed anything then I suppose these players would have been playing for us in the lowland league sooner rather than later.

I'm still unclear as to why it has to be an expensive 'safe standing' set-up? We aren't in the top flight, all the teams around us have terracing or free standing around the ground. Surely we could have a section the same? No club outside the prem has safe standing so i don't see why its a requirement for Queen's.
I asked the question after one of the meetings last season and apparently if you already have terracing that's fine, but any new area built in an SPFL ground has to be seated, this must have been a fairly recent change to the rules as Albion Rovers only put their new terrace up two or three years ago.

Good news, although slightly depressing when you realise it's still three months away.

In the case of Ross Dunlop that might have something to do with the fact we played him in every outfield position at some stage other than the one he has since gone on to excel in
Ross Dunlop went and played junior for three seasons before coming back into the senior game, not sure he was ready for a regular starting slot at the point he left.
He would also have had the likes of Richard Sinclair, Ricky Little and James Brough ahead of him in the queue for a central defensive place, would you have picked him ahead of them at that time?

We managed with an uneven number of games for 15 or so years in the old Division One and Two until 1994 without any huge issues so one season shouldn't be impossible.
Would rather have that than waiting until January.

Second signing coming up at 8pm
Keiran Moore - those two goals at Forthbank just before lockdown can't have done him any harm. Good luck to him, will run all day for you.

Only one man can not guide this mob to the league title next season.
And that one man is in charge.
But David Irons is in charge at Stenny so we should be fine.

Forgot about him. Seemed to spend half his time wrapped around a post as he flailed at another long distance shot as it sailed into the net.

As I understand, reading between lines, the club will not be allowed to play at Lesser, by the Council, until all the work is done.
I don't think that would stop the SFA from chucking us out of Hampden though.

The self-preservation attitude of the League 2 clubs laid out in all its gory detail here. At least they're being up front about it I suppose.

A supporter of a founder member of the SPL lecturing others about self preservation?
Do as I say, not as I do.

And on the rare occasions they weren't steamed up or dirty the smokers made sure you still couldn't see anything.

Yes go along with Callum Ferrie as well plus another one springs to mind David Crawford played for us then went to Arbroath, suffered a serious injury that kept him out for a while, last thing I heard about him he was a goalkeeping coach at Clyde don't know if he is still their.
He signed with us last season but only played a few times for the reserves, released shortly after Mark Roberts was bagged.

We've been really fortunate. Muir, Parry and Crawford all outstanding for Queen's. Lucas Birnstingl was less outstanding.
Stevie Ross and Mick Monaghan were good keepers as well. Birnstingle is the poorest I've seen, giving away daft penalties, conceding goals from the half way line, there was no beginning to his talents.

Last time we conceded three goals in a league match the manager got sacked a couple of days later!
Hard to believe that's almost a year ago, so many changes at the club since then.
