Queen’s Park Vs Hamilton Accies

[Hampden Diehard]

Just watched the highlights. Accies were unlucky, but we were merciless in front of goal. The fourth was a thing of beauty and the near thing crafted by Boeteng was simply magnificent. Hopefully the guy develops an addiction to Irn Bru and pakora and doesn't want to leave Glasgow.

What a day yesterday. Firstly, fantastic from everyone involved within the club to reach out to the local Community and beyond to give the game and hampden return the best coverage possible. We’ve all quite rightly been critical of the club throughout the last couple years but they absolutely nailed it yesterday. Here’s hoping this is the benchmark of what’s to come for the club over the next number of years. Even if we can get a small fraction of the kids and families to return regularly, then it makes yesterday totally worth it. 
 

The match itself was simply fantastic. Started off slowly and took a while to get into our stride but that 30 minute period in the first half was probably the most devastating I’ve seen a QP side going forward in years. We’ve been entertaining all season, however in the last month or so we’ve added a ruthlessness to our game and the results speak for itself. Taking 4 away at thistle, 5 away at Raith, 4 against Hamilton isn’t a fluke and it’s a demonstration of how talented this group of players are. We needed to get that consistency and it seems like it’s finally arrived. 
 

Of course everyone played their part but special mentions need to be made to Savoury and Boateng. I really like jarrett but an inform Savoury is a different level of player in that attacking midfield role. The way savoury carries the ball, dribbles by players and most importantly finishes when presented a chance is a joy to watch and it’s pretty evident that he’ll not be playing at this level much longer once his consistency has been ironed out. Mal Boateng is without a doubt the best midfielder in the championship and one of the top players overall. He’s easily the best midfielder we’ve had since David Anderson. There’s certain players you break the bank for at this level and Mal Boateng is one of them. Could start for anyone in the premiership outside Celtic and Rangers and not look out of place 

Can we make a genuine title push ? I’d have no reason to suggest that we can’t go for it but the priority needs to be getting in the top 4 now. My expectations have increased from start of the season and I don’t think it would be too unreasonable to be somewhat disappointed if we don’t achieve top 4 come May considering the talent we’ve got at the club. A striker would still be a priority in January because whats really apparent this season is when Murray gets subbed off, the entire team doesn’t look anywhere near as threatening as it should be and it’s cost a few points (Dundee 2-2 most noticeably) The drop off in quality and intensity from Murray to Kenny is massive

2 home games in a week in January (Thistle on 2nd then Cove on 7th). Looking at Lesser, I can't see it being ready by then, but while Hampden would be ideal for us, I'm not convinced the SFA will be too keen on having those games there with the two League Cup Semi Finals the following weekend.

3 away games after that in January then at home again on 4th February, which is probably a more realistic target for the first game at Lesser.

For all the fans that Cove will bring we can squeeze them into Lesser. Thistle a must at Hampden.
