Greenacres Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 We never do well against Alloa . We will have at least 5 players out for this. Reilly will be a huge miss our main goal threat . Maybe Marv will add quality to the squad this week highly unlikely as his recruitment has been very poor so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking shameful he's content with a defeat. I expect he's here until his contract ends, sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's before they even begin this week's training, so it would be no surprise if another couple are crocked by next weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Bit surprised Bartley's still in a job considering how vocal the fans were at the game at the Recs. We've had games recently where we've played well and not got the results to show for it and against Edinburgh played poorly but ended up with 3 points. Hopefully we can sneak another win down at Palmerston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katboy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 A fixture in which we never seem to do well. Hopefully we can add some quality over the week. However given his poor recruitment this seems unlikely. Following yesterdays turgid watch I can't see anything other than 3 points for Alloa. Bartley should be punted now following his latest car crash of an interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_palmy_pie Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Unfortunately Queens no 18 is out for the season and no 2 & 3 won’t feature for a while. Queens no 6 & 35 aren’t far away but Queens no 9 will miss another 2/3 weeks with his hand injury. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the point and move on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Bartley's surely got some dirt on Queen of the South's board that they don't want out, no? Been a running joke in the press box about his survivability after every abject result. The man's bulletproof. Although that said if we were to go 5 points clear of QoS with two games in hand that'd be a pretty hard benchmark to recover from.

I think its a financial issue with our board - he's on a two year contract and it will cost them to sack him, and this board appears to be extremely financially prudent even if its to the detriment of on-field performance ... which at the end of the day will eventually come back and hit them financially anyway as the fan base stays away in ever greater numbers. Can't figure them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSOUTH Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hoping that maybe after a year in the job the cost to get rid is significantly less, lose this week and maybe we will find out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess ... their (the BODs) preference would be to wait until half way through next season before hitting the eject button so that the cost of removal is substantially reduced. They possibly think that this would be acceptable as long as he somehow avoids relegation to L2 this season - which I feel the BOD thinks is now going to be achieved. If there is no improvement by mid Q2 next season then they'll act. All ifs, buts and maybes but that's my guess. I no longer expect any action this season and just wish the season would end tomorrow as its clearly in the bin now.

In all seriousness do you really believe he'll be sacked if we fail to beat Alloa? I'm resigned to the fact he's not going anywhere. I don't think we're in any serious danger of going down so I think that will buy him another season unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest we're not going to go down but if we lose 1 of the next couple of league games against the team's we're fighting against our season's basically over. What will the crowds be like for the remainder of the home games? We have numbers guys on the board, let them do the maths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the time for getting rid is overdue. Abject performances and a couple car crash interviews should have seen to that. The few weeks prior to last Saturday (while little more than papering over cracks) have however bought him a little time. I now don't see our board acting anytime soon, even if we lose farcically on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeJay Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Queens supporters going to a game wanting their team to lose? No matter who the manager is/was, or who is/was on the Board, and I've lived through the Harkness era, I've NEVER wanted a Queens team to lose...even a bounce game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
