A fair body of evidence amassed over the last two seasons, would suggest that any optimism is wildly misplaced. Anyway, why should the benefit be given to someone prepared to speak such insulting rubbish publicly?

AyrTroopMajor Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Sitting back and watching this unfold will be absolutely delightful if we are assuming that everyone from Dundee upwards is safe. Thistle are easily the worst team I have watched this season however that perhaps stems from Ayr's ability to make QOS look like 1990 AC Milan. I said a few pages back that the final table could be heavily influenced by a managerial change and subsequent new manager bounce. Do QOS fans see that happening at Palmerston? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave him a 2 year deal so it'll cost them to get shot of him but if they don't it's going to cost them a relegation if things don't miraculously change. Then you have to decide who takes over. It's not exactly an exciting gig. Give Dobbie a shot. At the very least he'd set up the side to aide him, not hinder him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how long it took them to bin Naysmith last season I’d wager AJ will be there until the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 AJ keeps a team about where they should be which is no good for queens as they need a manager to keep them punching above their weight. I'm not sure who they would bring in? The usually suspects or Dobbie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needing to not finish behind sides like Alloa and Arbroath, requires no punching above our weight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the great season Arbroath are having at the moment it would. I was thinking that whoever Dundee United are playing by the end could have a big effect, if they had the title wrapped up they could rest players etc. As it is there last four games are Inverness, Dunfermline, Dundee and then Ayr. The only side likely to be in relegation trouble is Dunfermline tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said finishing 8th shouldn’t be punching above our weight no matter who might be below us.With regards to resting players it might be just as relevant if teams are secure in a play off spot and might rest players I guess.Three of our last four games are against Thistle, Alloa and Morton who I suspect like us may still have a great deal to play for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath are a better side than Queens especially after the window, Campbell also has them way above where they 'should' be finishing above Alloa should be possible and that's were AJ has you (just) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for Queens to continue to occupy the division they've been in for seventeen of the last eighteen seasons would constitute punching above their weight? Aye, ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in general terms, I've never got the argument that says it's ok to treat the public to nonsensical gibberish, because the players might be receiving a different message. People used it to defend Strachan at Scotland too. It's not unreasonable to require a manager to make sense when communicating with the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
