Queen's Park v Airdrie - the season's climax
an86 replied to Hampden Diehard's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
An incredibly silly season. Brilliant from the boys from start to finish. Would have been so easy to freeze under pressure. -

You can buy them right up to kick off, though, if you’re looking at making a late decision. -

We have been dreadful at home. Three wins in seventeen, two of them against Arbroath. Inverness also honking at home, but we have to work on the assumption that they’ll win and take care of our own business. I like Links Park, but I’d rather not be heading up there on Tuesday night. I have absolutely no idea what I’m expecting to happen here. All I know is that it’s already been a long old week and it’s only Monday. -

Just a fantastic display by the Southside Galacticos. Lovely stuff.

A second Royal Box is the most Queen’s Park outcome. “What!?! Why are you all angry?” -

Marginally stronger squad, aye. We were absolutely rubbish under Veldman. Honking. Dreadful. Stinking. There were very, very few occasions when I believed we could get a result. I don’t go into games feeling like that now, despite the recent ropey spell. Don’t think Thomas’ absence was a coincidence in terms of the recent poor run. We have no squad depth. Saturday showed me that we’re still up for the fight and that’s going to have to continue to be the case. If it is a playoff, it’s important that we go into it off the back of solid performances. It’s going to be about getting the basics right. If we can do that, we have absolutely nothing to fear from the coming games, however many of them there are. -

He had to make us more solid. Defending has been far from Franco Baresi, but we don’t look like we’re going to lose a goal every time the opposition crosses the halfway line either. We’re going to need a big turnover of players, regardless of what league we’re playing in. Too many guys who are just “ok” on their day. -
Must win. It really is that simple. If we can’t beat a team that Veldman’s QP managed to take six points from, then we frankly don’t deserve to avoid a relegation playoff.

We desperately need a period of stability. No manager has had more than one season in the role since we turned pro. It’s no way to operate. We knew relegation was still an obvious risk when we appointed Davidson and so did he. If it happens, we get on with it. We’ve spent too much time making it up as we go along. We’d also have a full two years of a contract to pay up and we cannot keep doing that. -

The style of football and the stubbornness to deviate even slightly from it would still have ended in disaster imo. Ridiculously high line, trying to score the same goal constantly, whilst conceding the same one at the other end. Thrown under the bus by Beuker, but he didn’t help himself either. -

Aye. We have to get ourselves into a way of thinking that Haughey’s money isn’t always going to be there. Take his money away, stick us in League One and the trap door becomes an issue for us again. -

You can’t really rebuild a squad in January and you’re basically taking what you can get from the slim pickings. For me, the overwhelming majority of the damage this season has been caused by people who are no longer at the club, both at football and executive level. If the worst happens he’s obviously not totally blameless, but there have been enough flashes since he came in to show me he’s got something to offer. -

I suspect he would. Having a team being relegated to League One and then walking doesn’t look great on the CV. He’ll have had to have factored it in as a realistic possibility as well.
