gogs Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Apart from mercer you can't argue with his signings since he came in was saying this just the other week and he's got our defence looking really quite good. What a bloody fabulous result today magnificent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumfries Boy(new acc) Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 We're gony win the league But seriously we've beat Brechin,Dumbarton which will more than likely be bottom two and Falkirk who are playing terrible right now. Good test next league games v Livi,Morton,St mirren,Inverness and Dunfermline.If we are still up there after that run then ill start getting carried away and go as far as saying we could stop Celtic getting ten in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I haven't saw Falkirk so this could of course be mental but I still expect them to be near the playoffs. We've had a very good start to the league campaign but nothing to get carried away with. Anything less than 6 points at home to Brechin and Dumbarton respectively would have been poor. I only expected a point from the Utd and Falkirk games so we're 2 points ahead of where I thought we'd be which is obviously great news. It doesn't make me feel anymore confident overall at this stage though. After we've played everyone it'll give us a better idea of how we'll do this season I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I certainly didn't expect that today, but we do need to put all our results so far in context. We should have been looking to beat the part time sides at home. It's obviously good that we did it, but it would have been disappointing otherwise. Losing narrowly at Tannadice was no disaster, but we should have done better against ten men. A hefty win at Falkirk is clearly terrific, but again it's probably needing some context. Going by their fans' comments even prior to today, that's a club in a bit of a tailspin. Again, I'd have predicted that ours might just be the club to turn them round, so it's great that we weren't. Certain circumstances have thus far been kind to us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was superb I commented during the game that the most remarkable thing about today for me is that the best player I have ever seen in a Queens shirt scored a hat trick and still didnt feature in my top three for Man of the Match! I probably give it to Lyndon actually but Jacobs was outstanding too, Rankin had a terrific game and Tappy had maybe his best hour in a Queens shirt. And the centre backs strolled it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember this brimming optimism prior to any of our three victories, so I don't think it's fair to write them off as foregone conclusions now that they are in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why I was at pains to say it's good that we won the home games we should have, and said that I didn't see today's result coming and described it as terrific. Hardly dismissing anything as foregone. I was just providing a bit of context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see him performing so well. Great control and movement, passed the ball well. Hope he stays injury free. We were good today. At risk of sounding negative on such a positive day I thought Falkirk would be a real test but they were woeful. Hugely encouraging though. Dobbie's two goals from open play were great. One great move and a superb solo effort. Great day out! Edited August 26, 2017 by louisxiv 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm scarred by last season so I'm not going to go mental but to take 9 from 12 is better than I expected and I certainly feel with the new signings that we have a degree of flexibility and quality that I don't think we had last season. I still think there's a lot more to find out before putting judgement on the team such as how the team reacts if they go down or how we cope with a team with quick wingers like Dunfermline or St Mirren but the next month where we play 3 out of 4 away from home where hopefully we see what this team is made of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the fixtures, the first third of the League campaign looks a bit imbalanced. We're only at home five times in our first thirteen league games. The old pattern of 'away one week; home the next' always had exceptions, but it seems to barely exist any more at all. At numerous points, we've got successive away games or successive home ones. It's a trend I've noticed of late and it's irritating. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumfries Boy(new acc) Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The Competition we have for places is pretty impressive considering our small squad Thought Danny and Rooney had been playing well and will be disappointed not to play(Although was dan injured?) Naysmith deserves credit for this,The fact we can play different shapes with different players depending on our opposition is very pleasing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 5 home games in just about the first 4 months of the season. Then 4 home games in the month before Christmas. Apart from anything else, it isn't great scheduling from a financial point of view having so many home games at that time of year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand why it's necessary. Surely it's advantageous for clubs financially and for supporters psychologically, to have home and away games fairly evenly spread month by month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
