As discussed before, that would only leave us in the same boat as QP and Kelty who will also be splashing cash to try and lure guys away from the mid table Championship clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly how I read it . There’s plenty of football to be played before any of this . Should we go down I’d expect a clear out and a quality upgrade , what ever that costs . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play the way we played for 70 min or so on Saturday for our remaining games I think we will be okay wither that's through the playoffs or finishing 8th, must be gutting for queen's fans that it looks like your players have just flung in the towel was its just the dead cat bounce at Somerset a few weeks back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is look at our team that day, it encapsulates some of Bullen’s awful decision making. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always extremely fragile in that they needed to score the first goal in games in order to stand a chance. Gibson put a lot of faith in Fitzpatrick to help get the goals and they scored 4 in his first 3 games. Fitzpatrick’s hamstring went in the third game and since then Queens have scored 2 goals in 6 games. After failing to beat Thistle, it looks like they’ve chucked it. As an aside Queens have failed to score in 10 out of 16 home league games this season and 6 of the last 7. They’ve only scored 10 league goals at Palmerston all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Any chance of Queens reducing the price for this? Might aswell take advantage of the black and white £. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Think it's only fair Queens aid us in our battle for 8th. It's the least you owe us. #BrothersAcrossTheDivide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 With it being the 23rd Partick v Dunfermline & Queens v Ayr, and the 29th Ayr v Partick & Dunfermline v Queens, Can easily see it coming down to goal difference with two defeats for Queens and two wins for Partick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the fixtures fall, it's bloody annoying that we couldn't even stay in touch enough to make them meaningful for us. Even a pretty rotten run, as opposed to this bloody awful one, would have allowed us to potentially escape via these fixtures. We couldn't even make it interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways it is better to get it over with rather than just delaying the inevitable. As you say, it would have made it interesting but those pathetic serial losers would have found a way to fail anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That spiral was well in evidence, even with Dobbie. 3 years ago, he scored his 43rd goal of the season in the relegation play-offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, Dobbie kept us up for 3 seasons, Covid kept us up for one and last season Shields and Jones kept us up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is galling, however, that we've managed to take ourselves out of the reckoning before we even reach these games, leaving the other pair to worry only about each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Covid saved us last season too. It allowed our unlikely looking purple patch to be enough, as it represented a third of the season, rather than a quarter. I can't know this, but I think another round of fixtures was likelier to be shit, like two spells were, rather than excellent like one was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said for Ayr, I think Hopkin would have relegated us had it been a 36 game season. As it was we scraped to 8th on goal difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
