an86 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 As 0-0 a 1-1 as you’re ever likely to see. Scrappy and low on quality. We can play much, much better than that and I’m assuming Ayr will be the same given their start. A decent point in the end. The positive of a flat performance is that we didn’t lose. That’s certainly progress from last season. Not bringing in at least one extra attacking option is going to hinder us. Baffling that we’ve gone with what we have on that front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starshot131 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 If you'd offered me a point I would have taken one today, decent game but without too many chances. I thought we defended well for the most part but no idea why tizzard started over fieldson, he looked very shaky in possession. Hinds and Duncan looked good, Murray was phenomenal again, and I thought Rocco was alright when he came on. Definitely not our best showing ever but going up against a team looking to win the league I'll take the draw. Onto next week, hopefully a couple of wins in the next few games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Also, Cammy Kerr is up there with Dom Thomas and Ruari Paton in terms of our best signings in recent years. Can't believe he didn't go elsewhere. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Totally fine with that result. Neither team were particularly great but Ayr certainly had the upper hand towards the end. Was telling for us the difference subbing off 1st team players with youth players. Never regained any composure after the subs were made. However, it’s a game we would of 100% lost last season Dane Murray superb at the back once again (enjoy him whilst he’s here) but motm again for me was Cammy Kerr. What a signing he’s been, been tremendous most games so far Still some issues in the final third. Rudden is incredibly frustrating and needs to learn to hold the ball in and not try first time passes or flicks at every opportunity. Whilst I feel Roddy Macgregor’s performance in the league have been somewhat underwhelming, certainly in comparison to his league cup form. Any inside on what injury Thomas has picked up ? When everyone’s fit and guys like Thomas and Thomson are fit and back in the team then we’ll be a match for anyone but whilst they’re out and we continue to pursue with the severe lack of attacking options, then inconsistency will be a killer Imperative we sign a striker before the end of the month 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidersmad Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Well at least we hung on for a point there but that last twenty minutes in particular was a grim watch for QP fans. Lack of squad depth especially up front was on full display for all to see. Murray deservedly QP man of the match followed closely by Kerr and an honourable mention for Hinds who I thought was very decent. So far he's been confined to appearances as a substitute wing back but this time round he got a start in a more advanced role which was something I'd been looking forward to seeing and he didn't disappoint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntiethumper Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) A good point from a bad game. Both teams stroked the ball about in the first half without threatening. Surprised how slow and passive Ayr were. Our goal came out the blue and pleased it was Cammy who was awesome (again) today. Ayr took their goal well after a period of pressure from us. Thereafter, they dominated and we seemed unable to string a few passes together. We were a bit ragged in the last ten minutes with the youngsters coming on but held out. Thought Tizz handled Oakley well and kept him pretty quiet aside from his glaring miss before half time (tbf the ball was a wee bit behind him). Rudden continues to impress and frustrate and I am not quite sure we are seeing the best of MacGregor yet. Appreciate Ayr are struggling with injuries too so hard to tell how strong there title push will be. Reckon Thistle could be stronger than them.

Spiders Man Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Thomas failed a pre-match fitness test. No injury, just fatigue I believe. The Spiders defo missed his creative spark today. More generally it was an absorbing game, if a bit low in quality. Queens had the better of the first half, Ayr the second. They’d clearly had a rocket from Scott Brown at half time! 1-1 probably a fair result overall and a decent achievement given the absence of QP first team players, including Thomas, Ujdur, Thompson, Fox, Savoury, Mauchin and Read. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiders Man Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Haha, fair enough! Maybe I was just too focused on watching us try to string three forward passes together. I’ll admit it wasn’t a classic, but you can’t beat the suspense of wondering if anyone was going to run in behind! And to be fair, with the age of some of those attending, a wee nap mid-game might not be the worst idea….! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Pretty happy with a point after the late Ayr pressure. Disappointed with QP's poor passing at times and with some of the first touches; we're not usually that untidy. Hinds did well, particularly as he was whacked a few times; Kerr was, again, superb. We are screaming out for an option up front. I appreciate that Ayr had men missing too, but they didn't strike me as champion material, certainly not compared to the last two years.

I would agree with him, we looked every inch a mid table side today and in our previous away match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think any side with five key starters missing would look like champion material tbf. Particularly when you add in another three backs ups in some of those positions being injured too and Musonda not being fit to start. Dundee got 63 points btw, after seven games we have pretty much matched their average per quarter.

Only me... Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Get injured wearing these: treatment = magic sponge and man up Get injured in 2024 wearing these and head for the hospital for an operation or two and toss a coin for playing more than 10 games in a row in the future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
