Thought Lyon did all the work but Ross did really well to win the ball. Two good finishes, particularly Walker's. A lot of strikers (and McKechnie) would have swung at that first time. Very good composure from him. Like SD, from my angle I thought Lyon's goal was more central but it was further over than I first thought. Stewart got Douglas out a hole with a really good stop early on (which again, from my angle I never appreciated at the time). We were in control from 3-1 up. Not a bad evening given we'd have almost certainly lost that kind of game last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, 19QOS19 said: You'll get mixed reviews I'd imagine. He scored more goals for us than many Hamilton (and me!) fans expected. In general I thought he was a big donkey tbh. Didn't think he held the ball up well for a guy his size, can't recall him winning too many headers or coming close to bullying defenders. Delighted he wasn't signed again tbh. PT football may well suit him though and Farrell got a tune from Ruth (who I was delighted to see the back of as well) so there's no reason he can't work his magic on Mumbongo. Another one I'll be interested to see how he gets on at Dumbarton. This. Pleased he's signed elsewhere, will stop people suggesting he re-signs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnan, McGuffie, Ruth and Mumbongo all ex QOS at The Rock? Think we know how this story unfolds across 4 particular games this season ... NB - Mumbongo, lad works hard but wouldn't really see him as outstanding at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably being a bit harsh on Harry with his shot off the bar, but thought with his quality he might have buried that. We took our three goals well though, and Lyon is a proper player. Encouraging signs though with a makeshift side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 2 hours ago, Jan Vojáček said: I much prefer you to this @19QOS19 chap I’m much closer to that assessment of him as well. I liked him, good physical presence, works hard and capable of a decent touch and finish. Doesn’t always come off for him, and sometimes he looks like a bit daft because of that. I’d have had him back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Cochrane hits it first time, as hes running and on his weaker foot. I think he did pretty well to get it that close! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Murphy in today's papers saying he might have to ask referees to give better protection to his players. Aye, the same Murphy who managed a very "physical" Annan side. Queens have been too powderpuff for a few seasons now, I'd like to see us being bit more physical and "streetwise" instead, if the opposition decide to dish it out we must try and match them in the dark arts side of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see his point after the EK players were clearly out to get Lyon. Personally I'm happy we have a player or two who opposition players want to hurt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it just a bit ironic him wanting Refs to protect his players given how he had Annan performing. Used to be quite normal in the good old days, before football got all namby-pamby, to target the opposition danger man, not condoning that of course but we need to match teams in aggression when needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, EK are a bunch of hammer throwers with a couple of decent enough players who are only at them for the cash. They were very physical when we played them and, if I was being critical of ourselves, we let it effect our game too much. 4 hours ago, Fae_the_'briggs said: Aye, but he also mentioned some of the challenges in the Dumbarton game.

Haha. We are hardly a big physical side. I wasn't at the match but didn't hear anything afterwards about any hard challenged etc. Maybe he should have signed a few more physical players since it is such a big part of playing at our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye they certainly gave our guys a few kicks. Absolutely nothing dangerous though but it made me laugh seeing Ferry jumping up and down constantly after said hammer throwers went through our players time after time. Perhaps they get away with it more often in the LL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we are quite a physical side now, even if we aren't a team of big huge guys. Right through spine of the team we have guys who can handle themselves. I haven't read Murphy's comments but if he's genuinely concerned about tackles taking place in what are glorified friendlies then he's likely going to lose his mind when the real stuff starts. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
