Northfield 53 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You just can't miss that many chances and expect to win .Dobbie had easily his worse game for Queens no surprise he could not even get a pen on target.Great away support let down again . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QOSQOS Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 When Lyle and Dobbie both miss in the shoot- out (both high in the list of all -time scorers), you suspect it isn’t going to be our night. Dobbie and McFadden both had great chances to finish it before penalties. Overall, I thought TNS pinged it about competently for long periods, although our defence stood firm. Martin had a few saves, but they were all those you would expect him to make comfortably. We had the better chances, but didn’t take them. For a 0-0, I enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QOSQOS Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Plus, McFadden got 120 minutes, I never thought we’d ever see that. And he played well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Dobbie play worse. I don't know what else was expected of him given he was up front himself for most of the game. He should have scored his one-on-one but other than that didn't have many chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Agree with all of the above. Plenty positives to take despite the defeat. The defence and goalkeeper continue to look strong despite a few changes today. The much maligned Mercer was as good, if not better, than Rooney. Although I expect both to drop out for the returning Kerr. McFadden definitely looks like a worthwhile signing, all our good attacking play came through him today. Jacobs put in a typically Jacobs-esque display, and Stirling looked a threat when he came on.Brilliant showing from our fans who deserved a better result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Boo, fancied us to win this cup outright. What price would you have got for both Dobbie and Del to miss their penalties? Great support from us today, just a shame we didn't get the result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Faddys best game in a queens shirt First time I''ve seen Faddy for us. I thought he was probably our best player. He'll be an asset in games where we keep the ball. I don't think it's a coincidence he was anonymous when we were on the backfoot though. Stirling has to be given a run of games surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nithsdale Wanderer Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Very impressed with TNS - especially 1st half. They played football the way we used to under Johnston, McIntyre and Fowler. They pinged it about 1st time and almost always found their own man. Contrast that to us who looked laboured and always needing an extra touch - with the exception of McFadden who needs/takes 2 or 3 extra - and are obviously instructed to play it long. Great tactic with Dobbie up front on his own ! When will we actually go out, take the game by the scruff of the neck and look to win it from the off - Montrose next week I hope ! Naysmith needs to get Lyle and Dobbie up front from the off instead of always waiting until the latter stages of games. Lyle always has an impact but I thought Stirling made a real difference when he came on too - much livelier and forward thinking than Murray. Time he got a run of games. After a shaky start, the defence coped well. Not always Brownlies biggest fan but I thought he did really well today - MOM for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think we missed Rankin in the middle today, hopefully him and Kerr will be back next sat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We grew into the game and really should have won. Can`t legislate for your better players failing with guilt edged chances and penalties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only worry is that Dobbie confidence must be very low after that poor showing and that very poor pen .What was he doing for the pen no excuse not getting a pen on target at least make the keeper save it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say a poor pen after a largely poor display. Still love the guy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
