50mph winds forecast for around kickoff.

He's missed a couple of sitters. He's powerful and quick, with decent movement, but his finishing lets him down. He'd probably average 10 goals in league 1 if played central. Bartley had him playing on the wing. I'd give him pass marks compared to some of the shite i've seen this season.

If i recall correctly we have a respectable record at Recreation Park? I'll feel much more confident going into the match if Bartley has left the building by then. I'm not holding out any hope though.

In other words, you fancy him and have given him more credit than he deserves. Even now you can't be objective. He has no oratory skills whatsoever nor have i seen evidence of this supposed intelligence he has over our previous managers. If you actually listen to his interviews, he drones on in a monotone until he gets bored or the interview runs out of time. At the beginning of the season, when his message was positive, i didn't hear any conviction or passion in his voice. It was as if he was reading the ingredients on a pack of biscuits. George Galloway is an example of a talented orator. He could read a list of ingredients and make it sound like poetry. I know i'd switch off if i had to listen to Bartley droning on in training everyday.

What do Queens have to attract a non-local investor? If there is no emotional attachment i can't see what the attraction would be, given the level of investment the stadium requires. Possible feeder team for a team down south? If so i think there are more attractive/less expensive options.

He only cares about himself and no he has no shame.

He's holding out for the Ireland job. If he doesn't get, i wouldn't be surprised to see him at Aberdeen next season. Gary Bowyer would have been a decent interim appointment.

Allan Johnston has just thrown his phone in the river. What will Billy do now?

Did he look bothered?

A change would be best for both parties. If Martindale takes you down - and he doesn't get it right in the championship - he might never work again as manager. He has clearly peaked at your club. If he leaves now he avoids having a relegation on his CV. Last night's improvement could prove to be another false dawn like the performance against Hearts. It could potentially get embarrassing if you don't hit form soon. It would be best to give a young manager like Dougie Imrie a free hit at the remainder of the season. Just my tuppenceworth with no axe to grind.

Martin Canning, incoming.

He's been in the job for a year. Can we afford to the get rid of the dud now?

It's only a matter of time before we field an ineligible player given how the club is being run. @Skyline Drifter

Good to see Rico back playing after that injury last season. I hope Annan find a way to stay up in the playoffs. Finishing below Edinburgh City would be nothing short of a disgrace.

I hard Efe will be heading to Cove.

Are the board seriously waiting until we're bottom of the table in January to make a change? Just to save a few grand in compensation? I take it the Dykes windfall is well and truly squandered?

Arrogance, naivety and stubbornness. He's always struck me as David Brent on stilts.

The overall picture is that he's done alright. We're hurtling towards league 2 at this rate. We're either going to take punt on someone with no experience or appoint a manager who's been sacked previously. Overall, we could do worse than Dodds. Whether he'd take the job is a different matter.

Cup final as a manager and two cup finals as an assistant. Made the playoffs with Inverness in his two full seasons as manager. Judging him solely on the beginning of this season is no different to judging Mourinho solely on his final few months at a club.

How did Yann Songo'o and Jordan Slew do last time? I'll be amazed if he doesn't bring them up the road.

He hasn't accepted any culpability. It's just empty words. He doesn't need to be asked what mistakes he's made in order to own up to them. Clearly the club's media representative isn't going to ask him why it's his fault. He freely elaborates on the mistakes of others. I don't recall him being asked what the players are doing in their spare time but he was quick to opine on that.

Agreed. "But the art of management has not changed. The art of it is still 80 to 90 per cent man-management. It is just a matter of getting the best out of what you have got." - Neil Warnock "My teams have never been supposed to be able to do the things that they do." - Warnock.
