Minus: missing Peter Grant for next week's game against Cove.
Hmm, I personally don’t think that’s a minus like other QP fans believe it to be. If Morrison is fit next week then him and Foxy are better imo.
Shouting and organising can only get you so far, at some point you need to run, defend and not pick up loads of bookings. I personally think Owen Coyle will have plans beyond Peter Grant and I hope so too, need a better defender in there with pace. He’s gave us something when fit over the past 2 years but I can’t see him in the Championship, if that is our aim.

We really need to bin players like Nicoll. His tackling is wild and most refs in this league would normally have booked him for both of those challenges.
Did the new boy play at all?
Kev.I.N Nicoll was one of the players keeping Bob Job on side, how sweet

Just don’t be like Gretna
It’ll all be fine Bob731. The good thing is that QP and Clyde are highly likely to be in L1 next year so we get to dance all over again folks

It’ll be interesting to see how Queens Park sustain a higher level Championship pay structure with a Division 2 fanbase.
Bob 731, get it up ye

Kevin Nicoll has managed to be the biggest c**t at a club that employed Goodwillie, respect

Nearest pub to the ground is the Albert bar, I'd probably reccomend the West End Bar or The Cellar Bar. Both are in the town centre and close to the train station.
Cheers mate

Can someone recommend pubs in Airdrie please

Our inability to have players run in behind and play balls into the space kills us imo. Everything is in front of the opposition defence and it’s so easy to read. So predictable. We very very rarely have runners in behind from midfield or up top. The only one to do it yesterday was Charlie Fox on one occasion ffs. Hard when they sit deep but there’s plenty of opportunities wasted. East Fife had an extremely high back line a few weeks ago and we hardly made an attempt to play a ball into space with runners. Defenders don’t like running toward their own goal!
This idea of “total football” is grand but we need to find more ways to win football matches.
I honestly think we’re worse than before Ellis departed. We’re lucky Falkirk are poor.
Thanks for that Darcy. Feckin screamer.

If we gauge this fixture difficulty in accordance with the league standings (i know football doesn't work like that people), our last 2 wins should set us up for a harder test today then an even tougher test against Airdrie next week. Let's see how we cut our teeth against better sides.
So many good performances in recent weeks. Hopefully Grant and Fox can form a wall at the back. Connell was strutting his stuff lately and Jack Thomson has really impressed. Bob looks right up for it too so maybe the pieces are starting to fit together. As I said, hopefully we can turn up against Alloa and Airdrie and measure where we are. Mon the Queens!
Let's begin the LSD discussion as to what would win in a battle to the death, spider or wasp?

The boys done well to get a win.
Happy for Bob getting a goal and an assist. I thought he looked lively all game. Very frustrating watching Bob and Luca running ahead of their man in an offside position. I wanted to pull them back a yard or two and we could have had 4 goals!
Jack Thomson took his goal well too.
Great opportunity on Saturday for 2 wins on the bounce

He's only the caretaker assistant manager though, isn't he? Beuker's the one in charge.
He’s stated as coach on the programme. Not assistant to anyone. Paid to deliver results and failing to do so. He has responsibility too.
Just to be clear, my gripe is with Dempster. Not Beuker and Potter. They’re both in a fairly rubbish position and Beuker isn’t even in the role he was employed for.1 -

I really do not know what he is doing there. I can only think he was being used as bait for Jack Ross. Total waste of time.
And waste of money. The cash spent on wages, medical bills and coaches will be staggering for where we are in L1.

Few posts about Beuker but not much for John Potter. He’s coached in the premiership but we honestly look worse under his interim stewardship.

Shit show, disgrace and booing your own team off the park
underperforming, disappointing and incredibly frustrating yes but bit of perspective we're 4th in L1 and still in the play off hunt which is much preferable to fighting for survival in L2
That’s irrelevant though, isn’t it. We’re not amateur anymore. Fans cheering at John Carter types chasing loose balls all day and playing for the sake of the game isn’t the set up anymore. Players are getting good money and that’s a risk to QPFC. Fans expectations have changed, and rightly so. Time to realise what’s going on.

Getting very disinterested with this group of players. East Fife, for all their lack of quality, chased and fought for every ball and deserved their point. We’re so weak in challenges and have absolutely no interest attacking balls in the box. Players far too scared and putting themselves ahead of the team. Desperately need a coach to ruffle a few feathers and demand standards with a threat of getting new players in.
Longridge has been a shadow of his former self before his injury. Good save by EF keeper but just bury it man!! Very unlucky clipping the post late on.
No words for Ferrie. Made a cracking save shortly after it but who knows what he was doing. Done well not to loose his head.
Baffled at some QP fans saying we’re improving under Beuker
What evidence supports that? Performances and results have been so poor.
Absolutely not a dig at him btw, he’s arrived as a Football Director and been forced into this position. He’s hardly in the door so can’t assess him fairly but to say we’re progressing is utter garbage.
Mcbride had an opportunity to impress today but was very poor imo. Not holding the ball up well or attacking balls in the box. Can’t think of anything he done well.
Urgh.

Not much to disagree with here. I think I would pitch McBride in instead of McHugh who we know can produce nothing.
I’d let McBride have a run out too. We know what Bob can and cannot offer so let the other lad show his stuff today.

The ref 100% forgot he was already booked. His assistant has told him it’s a 2nd yellow. That delay is very awkward.
Had to look twice when I seen a squad addition from Liverpool but I won’t be so naive in the future. The club they’re coming from means hee-haw.

For the record, Longstaff has been poor since arriving at QP. His 2 goals on Tuesday doesn’t excuse the fact he’s been bang average every game this season. I need to see it back but the 2nd yellow looked beyond harsh. Regardless though, Longstaff doesn’t offer much.
Happy to see Jack Thomson hooked at half time. Stunned he gets a game. Other boys deserve to be out there.
Class from the rest though
Great fight and desire to take something from the game. Right up against it going down to 10 men.
Enjoyed watching Tommy today, great effort and drive. Big Foxy too.
Tell you what, win our game in hand against Peterhead and Montrose aren't far away…

I think at least 4 out of our 6 loans will be out of contract in the summer at their respective clubs which includes Longstaff, Smith, Mcbride and Darcy. An opportunity to play and potentially earn another full time contact in the summer should be enticing for these guys. Would certainly be looking to get Smith in permanently in the summer. Lots of potential
Stay well clear of signing Longstaff. Would be an even worse signing than Jack Thomson.

Falkirk had a fairly unremarkable January. Good results against the bottom two but struggled against Airdrie and Montrose. We've drawn 4/5 since we played Falkirk. Sums up the season to date. I'm confident this will be far tighter than the 6-0 game. I thought Falkirk were better than us at their patch to be fair.
Not sure how much football our new young recruits have played but fingers crossed their ready to come in and make an impact. I suspect the striker will get minutes at some point if not from the start. Give us something to cheer about COYQuuuueeeeens.

And therein lies the rationale behind a 4-3-3 formation - its flexibility to adapt to a particular passage of play. Am sure if you took a still of, say a corner, the players would not be lined up in an easily identifiable 4-3-3 formation.
The players do rotate in the system but it's not 4-3-3 mate. Not that I've been watching of late. Maybe I've missed this. I think BBC prints us as that if that's what you're referring to but it's not right.
Take Saturday for example, Luca and Gillespie sitting with Brown in front of them. They rotate as the game develops but the formation sets up off the ball the same. Smith and Longridge are in line with Brown. They're not in a forward 3 pushed high enough to be in line with Bob McHugh on each wing.
A goal kick sets out both teams formations off the ball using the full pitch. A corner is a packed box attacking or defending a corner, they set up specifically for the corner.
