Can still remember rocking up to Cappielow that day and discovering our incompetent manager had for some reason dropped Dobbie. There was a general air of disbelief. He clearly couldn't believe it either and instantly showed Chisholm how stupid he'd been. * His goal against Dundee in the QF was outstanding and he did tear Falkirk to pieces as well but that hat-trick was absolute perfection. Aye, he looked like he was trying to hammer home a point to the Manager in that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Indeed. I'm sure he had Tosh (our best CM for decades IMO) at RM for a few games as well. It was a team that picked itself and Chisholm still managed to make an arse of it. Clueless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you being ironic there or do you really think the manager who took us to the Cup Final was clueless? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being deadly serious. The team picked itself and even then he struggled to get that right for large parts. Did you forget his long losing streak? I'd argue he massively underachieved with that squad. When talking about our greatest manager I don't think I ever hear Chisholm. Says it all really given he was in charge during our best ever spell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblemaster Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I didn't agree with every decision he made but to call him clueless is a bit harsh. We as fans, and I include myself in this, have a habit of just thinking a manager should put his best 11 players out on the park every week and don't take "circumstances" into account i.e. is a player carrying a knock, has he got something going on in his personal life etc. Having said that, I don't think Iain McCall got the credit he deserved for putting that team together in the first place. PS. It's been a while since anyone actually voted in it, but Gordon Chisholm is rated Queens' Best Ever Manager on The Only Team in The Bible website! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving out the best striker we've ever had in the two biggest games in our club's history for Stewart Kean, screams clueless to me tbh. I think we did well under Chisholm in spite of him not because of him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, that kind of falls into the "clueless" category too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Grimm Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We were lucky to have got shot of Chisholm, he should have been sacked around the winter of the 2008/2009 season. Did we not go on about a 12 game run without a win? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenacres Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I wish all we had to worry about was a new PA guy. On to the important stuff Reilly is going to be a huge miss Doherty and Hutchinson work hard but neither has a goal threat. Why both have 2 year deals I have no idea yet another strange decision from Bartley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or they aren’t confident of getting promotion and they’re planning ahead for the next season in League 1. I wonder if Queens are now looking at League 1 in the same way that they used to regard the Championship - staying in it is the priority and getting to the promotion play-offs is regarded as a bit of a bonus and almost like an end in itself. Or a third option, which is that they have no plan at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even made money on it. I've said it before - it was like getting the correct kidney removed, yet receiving compensation anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
