Spider1975 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 What's really worrying for me is that Veldman was either 'happy' with the processes today and the personnel actioning it all, or more likely, looked behind him at his bench options and thought 'nah', (whatever that is in Dutch) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Will need to see the highlights but my initial reaction was that QP should've had two red cards, the challenge from Fox in particular was horrendous. Leading with you're forearm to the back of the head is utter shitebag behaviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraping the barrel of the loan market is all we have left now but I don’t get the sense he is even interested in doing any more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange isn't it, he couldn't get anywhere near the team last year until OC started panicking near the end, but now seems a trusted regular.....has he improved or has the team gotten worse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Cardle is Magic said: I can only remember Sharp having to make one save of any note throughout the game and that one looked a tad dramatic. We were missing Mehmet, Bene and Breen today but defence handled everything quite comfortably. Thomas is wasted playing as a No 10. Needs to be out wide causing full backs problems, getting balls into the box. Also were missing Tod, Todd, Allan and KRH. Anyone have any idea what the deal with Allan and Tod is? Hideous luck with injuries this season! Yup, DT23 (although he wore 11 today) is a brilliant winger and needs to be played as someone who takes folk and puts balls in the box, like you say. 1 hour ago, 101 said: Hopefully on Steve Clarke's radar as a proven Hampden striker Best free kick at Hampden since Leigh Griffiths. 1 hour ago, Salvo Montalbano said: That's a bit odd for a manager new to the country. Doesn't sound like there were too many contentious incidents that he could have been annoyed by, unless our bench have said something about the lack of red cards? Aye odd, unless he was upset at our bench and staff claiming for a red for the elbow on McCann (which was a red for me). 1 hour ago, par-adise said: Wasn't at the game unfortunately, great win. Was it a 4-3-3? And any improvement from MOH? MOH was decent. Looked quick and was willing to take players on. Still a bit rusty but between today and his performance at the league game at Tannadice I'm hopeful he can be a good player for us. 42 minutes ago, Wacky said: How did Jak perform ? Good. There was a moment when he took a long ball down perfectly and played it wide then ran in to the box. Looks like he'll be a really good option for us. Can see him scoring a few. 24 minutes ago, Wacky said: https://youtu.be/jg_gM8BvRtI?si=i4ULXQNtqjP0s0F3 what a shot from Lewis Is porn allowed on this site?! 14 minutes ago, HoBNob said: Will need to see the highlights but my initial reaction was that QP should've had two red cards, the challenge from Fox in particular was horrendous.

The ref saw something since he gave a yellow, but unsure what he thought happened. Was disappointed in the linesman nearest the fans, as he appeared to have a good view, although I acknowledge we can't know what he actually saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraping the barrel of the loan market is all we have left now but I don’t get the sense he is even interested in doing any more. I think for Beuker it’s a case of either underestimating the competition in our league or overestimating the initial impact the youth players could make. What’s the point in putting such a large quantity of these young guys on the bench, knowing they’re not going to make an impact in the immediate moment. That’s not the young guys faults, they’re quite clearly extremely talented players who I have no doubts will be great in the future for us but the bench should be supplemented with a share of 1st team ready players, not teenagers who aren’t even close to hitting 20 years old yet. I don’t think I’ve looked at our bench once this season and thought wow at least ‘X’, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ are on the bench if things aren’t going to plan But hey at least football journalists can rave about us on Twitter about having the youngest squad in the league though Edited September 16, 2023 by qpfc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I know we were miles away, but the incidents looked fairly clear-cut red cards to me. The second one involving Fox smashing McCann was especially bad. Proper shitebag behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leading with you're forearm to the back of the head is utter shitebag behaviour. I thought both incidents should have seen red cards. Referee was incredibly poor though, not biased. For example, Edwards got booked, then committed another foul that’s usually a bookable offence a minute later. Also no idea how Otoo avoided a booking for a rash challenge on the far side, when the ball seemed to be going out for a throw-in anyway. I’m genuinely not sure how the referee can have seen enough to give the free kicks for the 2 incidents though, but not give a red card for either. From where I was (and obviously with my Pars bias), looked like 2 obvious red cards. Second incident was right in front of us and I can’t see how it’s interpreted as anything other than violent conduct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average age of the players we've used this season is 21.9, by quite some distance the youngest in the league. Dunfermline are second though at 23.7; for context Arbroath are the oldest at 29. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thought it was weird in both Queens Park post match interviews Thomas and their manager talk about how playing at Hampden gives the opposition a lift and they need to be also react. Completely misses the point that Queens chose not to play next door and are presumably paying a decent amount of coin for playing at the national stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Dunfermline weren't up to much but were stacks better than us and thoroughly deserved their win. We need to start shooting. Can't believe the BBC stats that we had 14 shots. Naw, just naw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to the Rovers fan who said he’d massacre QP today. Didn't take the forecasting skills of a Nostradamus, to be fair. I'm astounded to hear that Queen's Park kept up their high line today. Absolutely no surprise to see a lot of QP fans starting to question Veldman's credentials. After watching the footage from the game at Stark's Park, McPake must've been rubbing his eyes as the same thing unfolded. Totally negligent management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraping the barrel of the loan market is all we have left now but I don’t get the sense he is even interested in doing any more. So we evidently have maybe 13 players who are likely starters. We're a month and a bit into the season. With so little option on the bench, it's a long way until January if we pick up any medium term injuries to key players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletar Spider Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Sheer hubris from both Veldman and Beuker to think that this squad, allied to their collective genius and the gimmick of refusing to bring in any players above an entirely arbitrary, self-imposed age limit, would be enough to compete in this division. Desperate to be proven wrong, but I was concerned when he was appointed, I've been concerned all summer with the transfer activity, and I'm certainly concerned that we've now lost three in a row. Having Simon Murray for the first six months of the last campaign was the only reason we were able to challenge for the title, and we were pretty disastrous for the last couple of months, but I would argue that with the exception of the goalkeeper (and possibly right back), this is clearly a weaker team than the one we finished last season with. Which makes the lack of signings pretty criminal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the team is worse but it is now very inexperienced. Louis is a seasoned campaigner and I think that shows in his play. Not quite sure why he was out of favour with Coyle but we did have strong wingers and I guess he hadn't thought of trying him at right back, where with hindsight, he could have done a decent job with both Oakley and Davidson being so inconsistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
