I know we have, or did have, a match analyser who goes to watch the following game's opposition and submits a report to the Manager. If this still happens the Manager is obviously getting inadequate reports or is not acting on them properly. Just says scout in his twitter bio, I imagine the latter description that you mentioned is what he does each week but was curious to whether he ever had a say in things. But I don't presume much will matter in current affairs, last thing on there mind will be transfer dealings with more pressing matters of the trap door looming. Got to keep the faith, I don't see us being inferior to any of the teams in the league below over two legs if play offs was to happen (if automatic relegation is avoided). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the remit runs across an agents desk it isn't going to look too interesting. Something like 'Scottish Championship team requires assistant manager. Fixed term 8 week contract with definite slim chance of a longer deal. Understanding of the George Graham style of attritional defending essential. Working knowledge of League 1 football a distinct advantage!' If only we could defend like George Graham`s Arsenal. We may aspire to but we absolutely don`t do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d forgotten that. 2 point deduction plus £100 fine for fielding an ineligible player. We managed the biggest home defeat in the league that season QOS 0 Kilmarnock 6. The biggest away defeat Falkirk 7 QOS 1. These 2 defeats were on successive Saturdays (the penultimate and final games of the season) Featured in the match with the biggest aggregate The above Falkirk match (Raith also beat Partick Thistle 5-3 that season) Featured in the highest scoring draw QOS 3 Clyde 3. (Clydebank and Airdrieonians (old) also drew 3-3 that season. Remarkably despite a dismal season I think our longest run of league defeats was 5 games so would have to look elsewhere for a run to equal or surpass the current one (7 league defeats, 8 defeats including Aberdeen cup game). Even including cup games in that season it doesn`t look like we manged such a run of defeats. What a depressing stat. I`m sure someone will know. Edit to add our Goal Difference was -61 but we at least managed to avoid conceding 100 league goals (99 ). FFS Further edit to change current run to 7 league defeats and 1 cup game not 6 plus 1 as I originally posted.

I don't think AJ was the main reason behind that season though. I reckon the vast majority of Queens fans could see what our best line-up was and the young boys should have been playing far earlier than they did. AJ just gave them their chance but were there really any supporters thinking it was "crazy" or "risky" playing so many youngsters? No. The Arbroath game when he went 3-3-3 showed just how much better our players were. Arbroath were on a great run at the time and we blew them out of the water with 10 men. Lets not kid on that was down to great management. I'd say that's still been his greatest achievement to date and he's been a flop at a higher level. So for all it was good at the time, I think folk need a wee bit of a reality check before they think he could be our saviour. While I don't think he would've been the main reason behind your season he would've played a part, he came into us despite us finishing 7th in League One the season before he absolutely destroyed it, the "style" of football he plays is ideally suited to that division and having a full time squad. I can't see him being the man to get you out of the shite though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. In a league where the perceived wisdom is that anyone can beat anyone losing 7 on the spin is quite an "achievement" Hopefully someone can confirm one way or the other.

QOSQOS Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Another possibility is that we get relegated with a positive goal difference. We scud someone 5-0 and lose 4 games by a goal. And draw the other 3. This is in addition to having the top scorer in Scottish football. Did I hallucinate the 4-0 win over Ross C? It seems so long ago...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't as good as legend says. Being a nomad and watching local footie, I remember being at a game where he fielded 8 defenders against a (then) second division team in the cup. Lost 1-0 thanks to an 85th minute goal!!! Sound familiar?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 As an inspiring leader, been wondering what GN says in his team talks. This is the conversation I have in my mind between him and the players. Not that I am becoming increasingly cynical you understand. GN 'Alan sit tight on the line. Daza Dicey sit deep. Marsh, Merce sit in. Ky, Doylie, Wils, Andy sit tight. Lyndon, sit in the hole. Dobs, sit anywhere. Won't make much difference. Jack, Conor, Grathy, Guiry, sit doon.' Team' What you doin gaffer' GN' Am sittin on ma hands until its too late'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember anything about it , I was 7. I think Falkirk also got deducted points that season for playing Vince Mennie when he was ineligible. I could be talking shite though . Edited March 13, 2019 by Swordfishtrombone I was talking shite, I think Forfar got deducted points for fielding Mennie after he moved there from Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, right enough. We were in freefall then too, having that time started really well. How many did we lose under Skelton, before there were a few under Thomson, including the Albion Rovers game that cost us a Celtic cup tie? Was that seventh defeat the final one? I remember a couple of wins when the January loanees arrived, but presumably we arrested the run before then. Did it just involve six league games? Incredible that this feels so unprecedented, yet something similar happened very recently. Edited March 13, 2019 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
