It's actually quite rare for me to arrive in a room, whilst fully equipped with a clue as to the purpose of the visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I often find myself entering a turnstile at a football stadium and asking myself why do I do this ... and keep doing this for 50 years ... I haven't come up with a plausible answer yet ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bod Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) This is a big game for Queens but it's a massive game for Bartley. We need to stop this loosing run and get back to putting points on the board. If we don’t win this I wouldn’t be surprised if Bartley walked. It’ll be difficult for him to do his media job and comment on how other teams are playing and what they should be doing when his own team are being beaten every week. Not to mention his own self-esteem. I personally think we need to get back to basics. Not sure how far down the road some are with regards to returning from injury but with Mimnaugh now sadly ruled out for the season I would like to see a starting lineup of. Stone Houston, Brydon, Ambrose, Church McKechnie Cochrane, Todd, Gibson, Doherty, Reilly Our form especially at home has been horrific, it's time to get back to winning ways and back into the play-off chase.

WattersIsGod Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Big game for us too Been a while now since we won. Not sure if any of the injured players from last week will ve back. That would certainly help. I'd probably be happy with a draw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you leave with nothing you will join an elite band of diddy donkies to have left Palmerston pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure walking away from a club after 5 defeats in a row would do his reputation or apparent ego any good either. I'm sure his common sense outdoes both of those things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Yeah any team can go on a bad run. Would be madness to make a change based on 5 games. There's far too much short termism in football these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKechnie, Todd and Reilly must be slight doubts for being fit for tomorrow, also Brydon and Church have been rushed back before they're really ready so hopefully won't break down. Even if McKechnie is fit I'd rather see Gibson moved to the right and Walker starting on the left. As for Bartley's position job wise, I think we need a dose of reality, he's not been able to field his strongest team at all this season, we're just a quarter way through the season, I'd be asking questions about his future when we get to the half way stage and we're still a couple of places outside the play-off positions. Despite his coaching and playing experience we kind of knew it was a gamble taking on someone with no actual Managerial experience, I'm happy to see him given a decent amount of time to try and get us going in the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens will win comprehensively tomorrow. Agree with the first part, not so sure about the end part. It would be nice to see a competent, decisive display with a few goals so us supporters can relax a bit, but I doubt we are capable of overrunning any team at the moment. As long as we score one more goal than the opposition I'll be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 5 hours ago, Artemis said: How do Queens work out that the away fans are in the east section of the stand? That stand runs broadly north to south, so they’re in the south section (which is actually slightly further west than the home section). It should either be the south section or the south west section. Not an important point but they’d be as well getting it right in case an away fan shows up with a compass. Not sure if this is a new way of indicating where home and away fans will be located, I thought they usually just said what Stand and Sections of the Stand they would be situated in. I can lend the person responsible for writing he infio my old orienteering compass if they want so they know which direction is which 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
