    We had a nervous start then after the Connelly goal we seemed to gain confidence. 

    The 2nd half we just never really got going did fine but if only we had that wee bit more quality we could have at least got a draw.

    What was the attendance that is the most important thing about tonight already made £77,000  plus half the gate money .

     

    30,500 odd I think, thought there was a lot more there

    I think this might be the worst Queens defence I’ve seen in my lifetime. Shocking performances this afternoon. McKenna did fine, the rest were pish. McKay and Morrison being out is unfortunate for them personally, but probably good for the team. Gibson going to have to think about playing himself at right back. Special mention to Cochrane for spending 45 minutes chasing shadows and not putting in a tackle the full second half. 
     

    Was it Paton that missed that chance at 2-1? Needs to improve his finishing. Connelly needs to start from next week. 
     

    Fair play to Falkirk though. We had our tails up and deserved our goal, but they totally dominated the last twenty minutes and looked really composed. Really professional performance. 

    I thought Cochrane was good when he came on at half time. Was finding himself in space and moving the ball quicker

    Anyway, back to the game on Saturday - Iain Wilson left Peterhead on crutches last weekend, having turned his ankle so I'd imagine there's little or no chance of him featuring in the squad which will weaken our midfield.  Anyone heard any updates?

    His ankle is still swollen and they are taking it on a day by day basis, presume he’s ruled out for it

    I'm not saying that Ugwu is what we need but ... if he's not wanted at Morton, and he's not yet been snapped up by another Championship side, then I'd suggest that time is fast running out for him and his aspirations should be being revised more towards the budgets of the likes of L1 sides like QOS if he wants to keep playing this season.

    That said I'm not a "big target man" fan.

    I might be wrong but I thought Morton offered him a deal to stay but he thought he was going back down south. Since then he’s been linked with Falkirk and Hamilton and nothing came of it, so he probably is within our budget now. I do think he’s got a bit more about him to be fair than a “big target man” like Cameron as well.

    Airdrie had a trialist on the bench on Saturday I take it that is allowed in League 1.

    Wonder if Wullie will add to the squad before the transfer window closes next week for me we are still 2 players short . We need another wide player plus a big  striker so we can change things up top.  

    Is the Loan window still open till the end of Sept.

     

    Think we need another midfielder like Wilson as well, his injury record is a worry and we don’t have another player like him in the squad

    First visit to Palmy in what seemed like ages yesterday.

    Bought the ticket on-line with my phone, no hassle, quick and easy.  Only a couple of gripes: first, the QR code appearing on the club app didn't also show my seat number (although I could get that from the confirmatory email), second I chose a seat number high up in the BDS to get out of the sun's heat but on arrival found that the seat was under the media scaffold platform (surely an easy problem to solve on the ticketing system) and another fan had the same problem as me - not a disaster of course as I just sat somewhere else (always plenty of empty seats at Palmy these days).

    First half - Jesus, I forgot how much some Queens fans moan.  The guys behind me constantly criticised every touch of a Queens player - and OK we were poor in that first half and poorly set up, but a bit of encouragement now and again doesn't go wrong.  By half time I'd had enough and sat in a different section for the second half.

    Palmerston - I do love the place, but it needs some TLC.  The toilet cubicles in the BDS were broken and not fit for purpose.  OK, I get that we are just manky fitba fans but this is the 21st century now and we are competing with other leisure time attractions for customers.  We should at least get the basics right.

    Went to the club shop pre-match.  Thought I'd treat myself to the sky blue polo shirt, but only one left (XXL) and I'm a (L) so nothing doing there.  Maybe they'd had a few and they sold out quick?

    Enjoyed the game though (if not the first half) and thought by the end we might just have shaded it.

    With the tops you normally have to go a size (or two) up from what you normally are as Macron kits are really poorly sized

    Just wait until Falkirk come, they’re fucking huge.

    The same club that fans ran on to our park to celebrate a 90th minute goal only for us to score with the next kick of the game which ended up relegating them, how could I forget about Falkirk?!

    I thought Airdrie looked good in the first half. Ballantyne and Jamieson both getting joy out of Quitongo and Frizzell getting in behind Cochrane and Wilson. 
     

    We were dreadful though. Somebody mentioned that we looked ok defensively, couldn’t disagree more with that. I thought Morrison was horrific, slashed at everything, wanted far too long in possession. McKay was pretty poor the entire game as well. Airdrie just put balls onto his head or in behind him and you could guarantee he was putting it out of play high up the pitch. No composure at all. Credit to East playing beside the two of them and still managing to have a good game. 
     

    Gibson needs to get the 3 at the back in the bin, or the support will soon turn against him. We don’t have the personnel for it - both Quitongo and McKenna were too deep and we were stuck in our own half. 
     

    The second half was better, but still not good enough if we want to be challenging for promotion. Return of 2 points from the 3 games we’ve started  with is poor. 

    Morrison leathering the ball to McKenna twice in about five minutes from five yards away then throwing his arms in the air when it wasn’t a good touch was infuriating. Was some away support today to be fair, best I’ve seen in a bit come to Palmerston.

    The goalkeeping position is, as many people told us, going to be a problem. Currie is good at some things but he's far from the complete article. He reminds me of Antell. Unless we sign an experienced goal keeper success this year will be avoiding relegation. Two points out of nine is relegation material and unless we make a change soon we're going to be in trouble. Okay goalkeepers get the blame when the defense need to have a look at themselves but I have zero confidence in Currie. Still think, although lacking in experience, we should have stuck with Charlie Cowie. Surely he is better than Currie and will be wasted at Glecairn. I'd be more forgiving of him than I am of Currie. Get him back Wullie. 

    You want an experienced GK but are pining for an 18 year old to return? I don't think Cowie would dramatically improve us. The whole back line needs sorted. Once we get a settled backline we'll hopefully see an improvement in Currie.

    I don’t like being overly harsh but let’s be honest Currie is shite. I think most fans are at that stage where he makes a save (which he should make) and fans lap it up. He’s shit scared to come off his lines which doesn’t exactly give any confidence to an already shaky defence.

    This.

    The shape and personnel looked better after half-time.  

    However, we're certainly not looking like a strong side in this division.  It's clearly early days, but I can see this place becoming home for a while.  Without improvement, even that might become the new target. 

    Still think that’s an over-reaction, we should still be aiming for the play offs which I’m sure was our target at the start of the season. Hopefully now the idea of 3 at the back is binned. We shat the bed in trying to match Airdrie incase they outplayed us, decision clearly backfired.

    Good that Hendrie is a upgrade on McKenna he really has to up his game to something like a decent right back .Hope for  2 more signing  a left winger to replace Fitzpatrick and a forward who is good in the air both positions difficult to get quality in .

    We need more goals in the team.

    Would really like Ugwu who still doesn’t have a club, was linked with Falkirk and Hamilton earlier on in the window

    One of the few players we released I wouldn’t have been against keeping to be a backup this season. Should be a very decent acquisition for League 1 - is that 3 of our players from last season Queens have now signed? 

    Yeah Murray, McKenna and now Hendrie. McKenna has been gash at right back, like people on here said he would be. Murray has actually been really good but still has a tendency to drift out of games, and Hendrie isn’t fit enough right now apparently as he’s not had a pre season.

    No worries, thanks. Aside from the tapas, any other pubs doing food that you'd recommend? 

    The Granary as well, right beside a taxi rank for if you leave it too late to walk to the ground, probably about a 15 min walk

    QoS Match Report

    Pretty clear we were in holiday mode in that one off the back of securing survival the week before. Not sure what Scally's doing at centre back (and Aitken was making a first start after long term injury) but what a team that was looking back. There's about 9 of that starting line up (and O'Neill and Burns on the bench) who would rightly be part of any conversation of our greatest team in the last two or three decades. Nine of them played in the Scottish Cup final 12 months later.

    Look at the attendances we used to get, practically a third of that now
