football maniac Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 8 hours ago, Mr X said: He is, as is Jacobs. Thankfully, it sounds like he'll be back on Saturday Naysmith saying all the right things in his interview last night, including looking to bring some players in straight away. Lets hope he can put those words into practice So wonder which position or positions he will look to strengthen. I feel we could use another striker, centre mid and possibly a right back. Hamill is fine at right back but if Naysmith sees him as a midfielder then I dont think either Brownlie or Hooper are the answer in that position. With Rigg and Hilson out for a while and possibly Dykes then we need a striker aswell. Nathan Austin who flourished at East Fife under Naysmith is the one who immediately springs to mind as a loan option but Ive no idea whether we will be able to get him in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canny see him being allowed to leave Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QOS 19 alludes to the fact that our problems are not really upfront - to be fair most Queens fans probably agree with that. I must admit that I feel that without Dobbie we are seriously limited in attacking areas. Our midfield is dreadful (none of the players chip in with goals on a semi regular basis) and the lack of creativity is there for all to see. In addition they do not protect back 4 in the way that McKenna and Burns did.Up top Dykes has completely lost his form and his finishing has been erratic, Anderson is a trier but really lacks quality, Lyle is absolved from any criticism but is not the ideal foil for Dobbie. Rigg is simply not good enough and Hilson and Danny have to prove that they can be relied upon to play a full season injury free.There were countless games at the start of this horrendous run where we defended pretty well but lost games because we couldn't convert any of the numerous chances that came our way. Last night if you take out Dobbie's shots and dangerous crosses there was virtually nothing else.I would conclude that we are painfully short up front but midfield is the big problem. The defence is not great but I think it could come good if the midfield started to protect them properly. Relegation is now a massive reality - drastic action required in transfer window because nobody could possibly trust this squad to get us out of trouble. Sad to say but all trust has gone and while there are definitely players that we want to keep we need to find a backbone and to do that reinforcements required. Manager has made a big error coming here at this time and I suspect that we have made an error in appointing a relative novice.Hope I am wrong on all counts but this collapse is so deep rooted that drastic action required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're damn good at losing them but I honestly can't recall the last time we got one! That's a good question. We must have scored plenty of decisive, very late goals down the years, but I can't think of any at all really. A late winner at home against the all conquering Falkirk team, back in the part -time days? The late 84 yard clincher in the Cup against Dundee? There must be others, but I can't call them to mind. I can think of lots we've lost though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 We last scored an injury time winner on the 10th October 2014 in the televised Friday night 3-4 away win at Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yes, right enough. The Raith game was relatively recent. That Patrick one was an 'out of jail' type game I think. A rotten performance - did Rocco Quinn get the winner? That must have been five or six seasons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneeuq Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) The game i was thinking of was the 3-3 draw with Thistle (on 12/2/2011), we were 3-1 down and going nowhere. 5 mins to go I left for the long journey up the road only for McLaren to score on 87 mins and A Johnstone to score in the 91st minute. http://www.skysports.com/football/q-of-south-vs-partick/217408 Edited December 7, 2016 by sneeuq 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to move into the top 15 during the season. I am presuming the current phenomenal rate of scoring will drop eventually as teams double him up or get more familiar with him. Thought we may as well update this. The one positive out of last night was Dobbie back on the goal trail again. He's now up to 69 goals and 17th in the all time list, moving ahead of Lex Law last night. John O'Neill and Jackie Law in immediate sight. Lyle has added only one goal since that post in September (Saturday's late consolation), partly as a result of missing five games through injury. 20 - Willie Dougan (65) 19 - Jimmy Rutherford (66) 18 - Lex Law (68) 17 - Stephen Dobbie (69) 16 - John O'Neill (70) 15 - Jackie Law (71) 14 - Billy Houliston (74) 13 - Rowan Alexander (78) 12 - Iain McChesney (79) 11 - Jackie Oakes (81) 10 - Jimmy Robertson (89) 9 - Ian Reid (89) 8 - Tommy McCall (93) 7 - Stevie Mallan (94) 6 - Tommy Bryce (95) 5 - Jocky Dempster (98) 4 - Derek Lyle (104) 3 - Andy Thomson (114) 2 - Bobby Black (120) 1 - Jim Patterson (251) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were really good at losing late goals that season. There was a week in February where we lost very late decisive goals against Ayr on the Saturday, Aberdeen in the Cup midweek, then Dundee the following weekend. It was not a good week to be a Queens fan, but a far worse one to be a Rangers fan, so that helped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Since 2010 we have won 3 games with injury time goals (curiously, 2 of them away at Raith).In the same time we have lost 9 games to injury time goals. 4 of them have come this season, and 3 on our current terrible run. I'm tempted to do the same exercise for goals after the 85th minute, I suspect it will make even grimmer reading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we've conceded more injury time winners this season than we have scored in 6 years is quite something! It has honestly got to the stage where I expect us to concede once the clock hits 90 minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
