Accounts are out as expected we lost another significant sum last season .
This season we will lose even more the Dykes and Covid money will cover the losses for now but it can't go on any longer. Will be major changes to the budget for next season .
We have to try the hybrid model have a mix of full and part time players.

5 at the back again boring football try and steal a draw .
Why not have a go 4-3-3 take the game to Kelty not the other way round .

Queens really need to start winning games like this if any chance of the playoffs .
No doubt will set up not to lose rather than be positive and try and have a go.

A player who isn't good enough for our rivals who are also vying for a playoff spot. Great piece of business.
It seems Marv tried to get him in the summer so he has surely seen something he can work with I hope so .
As I have said this is a re run of the Doherty signing
Wonder if that will be us for today in and out .We can still sign players on loan in February ?

Yeah Mumbongo is dreadful sadly genuinely one of the worst players I've ever seen. You would have been better taking a punt on someone from the premiership on loan even someone who's not played a senior game than sign Mumbongo.
We had all this when we signed Doherty from Clyde he is not that bad .
We have tried that before signing boys from the premiership with no experience it rarely works at least he has a bit of experience he looked good when he came on at against us at Palmy hopefully can find that level .
Will only really be cover for us at least it is not a 2 year deal like Hutchinson was.

Looks like I am getting my big with decent experience forward .
Reports not good but can he be as bad as Hutchinson surly not I hope.

I agree with everything you say in this post. Too much forward deadwood just now and we need more creativity and goals if we are to challenge for 4th
Have to hope Marv agrees with us but who will take our deadwood heard even Gretna would not take Irving on loan .
Have to hope Marv can get at least one in but not a boy to add numbers.
We need a experienced player to inprove the squad

Had a good result at Cove but will need to play a lot better than our last home game against Alloa to get anything here .
We created next to nothing in what was another poor game .

Never mind Livi, Liverpool could come calling, we need him on a longer contract ASAP.
Calm down it was just the one win !!!.
Hopefully Livi or Liverpoll will call soon
Great result but we have won up there before wait to we start beating other teams around us .
Is that the first time we have not conceded well done to Marv his players .
The idea of shots at goal in his game plan is a great idea

A goal! We must have had a shot
3 shots 2 on target Marv will put a stop to that will get us defending deep invite them onto us a recipe for disaster .
Have we not coceded a goal in every game this season over to you Marv .

It won’t be long until we only have 40 season ticket holders if things don’t change.
Don't like to see other clubs in trouble but as you say we need something to get us going again.
We need a couple of loan signing who will change things like we did with Dapo and Jones exciting signing try to get away from this boring football .

We all complain about the board but they have a very difficult job of trying to run a football club they make sure wages are paid and tax bills etc are all paid .
Look at Edinburgh City they have now lost 6 points because of non payment of wages tax etc.
On Edinburgh they have just 40 season ticket holders cost over £500,000 to run looks like there budget does not get close to what they bring in

Is there any betting on the number of shots on target we will have?
Looks like we will not be adding to our squad no surprise really as nobody will take any of our poor squad.
As long as we follow the game plan work hard we should get away with another 1 nil defeat which Bartley will be quite happy with.
I can't see shots at goal added to the game plan play not to lose rather than to win .

Wouldnt say i was happy about how things have been going but i think we have been unlucky with injuries. In the last 5 games QoS are the 4th in form team. Outwith the league we have done ok against better teams with a young developing team. Some folk think we should be humping part time teams but they have decent players making good money having the best of both worlds. If we want to be fulltime and be a quality full time side we need to be able to pay the wages. Simple maths. If you dont get the revenue in then to save the club going down the Edinburgh City route the club needs to live within its means, meaning we can only afford developing of lesser quality fulltime players. Unfotunately you cant make honey out of dog shit so unless we get more paying fans through the gates, we end up in a cycle of shite.
We have to try a hybrid model to me that might work for us .
Young full time players backed up with experienced part time players.
We have to change something because the set up is not working right now.
It will not be long till the accounts are for last season which will again show another six figure loss .
We can't keep losing huge sums of money

Apparently it is someone willing to happily attend every single game and praise the club regardless of the product on offer or the facilities provided.
I could count on one hand the amount of homes games ihave missed in over 40 years.
Don't really care about the facilities provided all that matters to me is Queens winning games of tootball .
That is the problem come rain or shine I will be there but I really understand fans finding better things to do with there hard earned cash.
This is why right now we should really have a go for the playoffs give Marv the cash to get a couple of real quality signing in not boys but players that will inprove our team straight away .

Was Marv in a surly mood? Ah well probably understandable given all the flak aimed at him.
That is me not following the game (,spelling ) plan just switch off for a second it can go all wrong .

This week surly Marv will push to try and inprove the squad get players out and get quality in .
Good to hear Brydon Reilly and Cochrane should be back in the squad .
1 -
Difficult away game but somehow we have to start and get results.
Hopefully Reilly Cochrane and Brydon back for this but Todd could be added to the injury list .
Hopefully we can add quality to the squad this week right now we are nowhere near good enough for the playoffs .

I hate to side with our BOD, but we do have a big squad (is it 27 or something like that) and if that is the case then you can understand why the BOD will say move some out before you bring others in - it's financial reality, particularly when our gates are plunging. I had a drink with a St Mirren pal in their Members Club today pre-match and he told me that their squad this season only totals 19 (maybe they bolster that with youth squad players when necessary, not sure). So you can see the different approach - sign quality over quantity.
We appear to be reasonably safe now (in terms of the dreaded drop to L2) so I can't see the BOD splashing any cash now either to sack Bartley or to bring in players. Bartley will have to make do with what he has (and what he signed) to the end of the season. Not great, but it is what it is.
No idea why we have a squad of 27 that is far to big you can understand the board saying to Marv to move players out before any come in .
On the Cup Tie we again were far to negative should always have a go . That was a very good away support of 485 it is a pity that even when we went a goal down we still never had a go we had no plan B.
Subs should have been on straight away.but again they came in very late had no chance to change the game.
Another dissapointing defeat to what has been a very poor season .

Nearly over and we haven’t had a single shot on target!!!!
No surprise I would rather have a go than go out like this
We are set up so negative asking to get beat which we normally do no doubt Marv will again be happy with, 1,nil defeat

No idea.
There is a Euan Ross listed in the players on our website (Number 26). I don't know anything about him.
Euan Ross is one of our young reserve players .Have said before without Reilly we just don't have a goal threat this is looking like a re run of the Falkirk game only a matter of time till St. MIrren score.

After some thought because we are so far from the Central belt I don't think the hybrid model would work for us.
We are losing around £20,000 a month we have to go part time cut costs everywhere we can.
