Brilliant win! Team played well majority of the game and did well to hold on when it went to 3-2. Bit shaky for 5 mins after the goal but after that we didn't really concede too many chances from the territory we were conceding and Muirhead had the best chance of all to seal the game after another defensive blunder. No failures in the team but thought Crawford, Blues and Mcgrattan were outstanding, especially when they were on the park together.

We should be out of sight by now. Hopefully we keep this performance up the rest of the game and don't tire as we have been relentless in midfield.

Good half from us and just unfortunate that we aren't more ahead as you'd imagine QP will come out and play better in the second half. Surprised how all over the place Queens are at the back so hopefully we can keep the pressure on them and see the game out. Just good to see us impose our game on an opponent again. No surprises really that it happens when Mcgrattan is back in the team. He just brings much better shape to the team when he's in the starting line up that we don't have when he's replaced with an out and out winger.

Who was the big guy in Central midfield? He absolutely dominated us. Looks a real find just like Oakley the first half of the season.

Peaked with our one good piece of football after 3 minutes. Absolutely bullied for the majority of the rest of the game, which is something you can't say about us normally. Arbroath comfortably deserved their win.

Can only see him adding to Queens' inconsistent performances this season rather than solving them.

Craig Napier in the VAR room according to the daily record. All makes sense now. Useless c**t.

Hard to tell how he will do for you in my opinion. He wasn't good enough for the Championship but having watched him I'm still not sure what his level actually is. I wouldn't say he ever really let us down when he played but he was always the noticeable weak link. If he goes in and gives solid 7/10 performances every week for you then I wouldn't be surprised but equally if he's pretty useless and not good enough for league one then I wouldn't be that surprised either.

Aww jeezy peeps man.

Scottish football is undefeated You know things are bad at Hamilton when someone at the club in a position of power posts that and theres multiple people that could be the culprit. My first thought was it had Dave Mackinnon sitting with a glass of wine written all over it.

Too many long throws for you?

Happy to take the point after being 2 goals down. Thought we were the better side for the majority of the game but only one team looked likely to win it in the final 10 mins and that was Raith so a point probably about fair.

I've no idea where will end up because most teams are a similar level and can beat each other but we still have the best defence in the league after those two goals conceded so gifting goals like tonight is very much out of the norm for us to be able to judge our season based on it.

Thought we dominated first 15 mins and didn't take advantage when Raith looked so far off it, but you can't gift the goals we did and expect to win games and tbh we look like we've got a few more mistakes in us. Expected raith to get confidence and take control of the game after the 2nd but they've been just as shaky as they were prior to their goals. Absolutely no idea how this ends. Could be 5-2 either team or 4-4.

I see both defences have put their out of office message on today for Christmas. Could have waited a few hours lads.

Was only watching the stream but did the wind have an effect on the game? Schwakes kicks in the second half were barely reaching any distance at all so was wondering if it's a simple case of both teams being better with the wind helping them.

First half was a bit rough for us although that's to be expected up against the wind but apart from Schwake save I don't think we were under that much pressure and managed to sneak a goal before half time. I can understand why Cove fans might think they deserved something from the game but from my perspective the second half was one of the most confident I've ever been that we wouldn't concede a goal as the match looked to be heading for a comfortable 1-0 victory as Cove offered nothing in an attacking sense against the wind and our defence looked so comfortable but then one poor piece of concentration and communication and it looked like we'd blown it. The resilience of this team to just get their head down and go again that late on is admirable and it was an excellent strike from Crawford. There's a real special mentality in this squad and it's a joy to watch even at times when the football might not be.

Must be said I've never seen someone like up an overhead kick for so long and then miss the ball completely like Kabia did in the second half. A true work of art.

Good of Akinola to take one for the team and stop Partick conceding at least 3 goals again.

I'd heard at the time that Imrie sent Garrity out on loan because he needs to work on his defensive work off the ball so I suppose it makes sense why he's not been starting games for you if that's something required in your system as well. There's definite talent in there and there's still plenty time to work on that side of the game for him. Hopefully he gets a few starts for you between now and January as nothing will help him develop his weaknesses quicker than actual games.

There are many positives to take from tonight but what stuck out to me was the amount of running the team did off the ball especially second half was incredible. I thought we would be blowing out our arses towards the end chasing the ball from side to side constantly but they just kept going all game.

Did we steal Partick's abilities Space Jam style?

Efe Ambrose signing for us after being announced by Hamilton's official twitter account in a peak Cinch move. Don't even care if he's shite I'm all for it.

Watched the Morton highlights and thought the tackle where Crawford had his heels clipped in the box looked a penalty as well. Blues looks well onside for our disallowed goal as well. There's a chance he's handled it in the build up but the assistant referee has flagged for offside.

Only out for the referee I can think of is maybe he thinks Raith play an ostrich in defence.
