CoveRangers1922 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Sending off had an impact on the game clearly and thereafter Cove dominated play, getting into some promising positions in the final third but didn't do enough or had the quality to fashion clear cut chances. Best one fell to Rory with a couple of minutes left only for him to put it sailing over the bar. Queen's resolute in their shape second half and deservedly took a point. Rory did ok when he came on but all the other subs today didn't positively change the game. 3 straight draws now for Cove and the gap is reduced 5 points with a difficult game upcoming next week.

QPSpider1867 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) For the record, Longstaff has been poor since arriving at QP. His 2 goals on Tuesday doesn’t excuse the fact he’s been bang average every game this season. I need to see it back but the 2nd yellow looked beyond harsh. Regardless though, Longstaff doesn’t offer much. Happy to see Jack Thomson hooked at half time. Stunned he gets a game. Other boys deserve to be out there. Class from the rest though Great fight and desire to take something from the game. Right up against it going down to 10 men. Enjoyed watching Tommy today, great effort and drive. Big Foxy too. Tell you what, win our game in hand against Peterhead and Montrose aren't far away… Edited February 12, 2022 by QPSpider1867 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 What a superb point that is. Was going into that second half fully expecting Cove to batter us but we changed to 5 at the back and other than a late McAllister chance, we did remarkably well with limiting them to very few clear opportunities on goal. Anyone from that backline could of got man of the match but I’ll give it to Robson. A real resurgence in form the past month and it’s even more pleasing to see his defensive game improve. Ferrie brings so much confidence to the backline with his shot stopping ability and superb handling. It’s no surprise that since his introduction to the team that Robson and Kilday’s individual performances have seen great improvement. Agree with the comment about Jack Thompson. He’s just not doing it for me and I’m hoping he’s just a squad filler at best next season. Too many occasions he gives the ball away cheaply to then give away dangerous fouls. He’s been at fault for a fair few goals this season. Liked what I seen from Dylan Reid’s cameo so hopefully he gets the nod next week. Louis longridge also looks a bit out of sorts so would be tempted to get Ronan Darcy on the pitch from the start next week 3 points clear of Falkirk with a superior goal difference. They travel to cove next week, whilst we play East Fife. A real opportunity to try and potentially extend the gap between the teams. It’s going to be a tense finish to the season that’s for sure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMalley58 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 With a ref like that we can only be glad it was a draw I think kilday had a good game today. Defensively we played well given we had 10 men. We kept a clean sheet and under the circumstances that’s all that matters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Agree fully with the comments on Thomson and Longstaff but you can add the rest of the midfield to the list too. A combination of wasteful passes and being easily intimidated let Cove into the game after a very promising opening 20 mins. The sending off settled the pattern for the rest of the game, although it could easily be argued that having Longstaff out changed nothing. Still, it left a spare man over for Cove which added to the challenge. Defending is part of the game and it definitely looked as though we were set-up for a draw. The defence has looked in control up until Longstaff left and all the credit for the point must go to them. Pleased to read Robson is finally getting some applause. He’s been outstanding most of the season, especially going forward. The entire midfield didn’t match his power end energy today. Cove had chances but mostly of the half variety. As the game wore on it felt like I was watching many of our games this season but in reverse. We were the underdogs and they the underachievers. Playing the champions in waiting at their place, with 10 men for the most part, and keeping a clean sheet is a great effort. Just need the front half of the team to do their bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartSkins Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yet another sending off, of our own making. However, the attitude afterwards from the team, the togetherness and resilience to claim a point was good to see and gives me confidence this team are up to the task of claiming a play-off slot this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridgeofweirdo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 From the refs reaction it appeared to me that he didn't realise that he had already booked Longstaff which could have (if he'd had half a brain) altered his decision to brandish a second yellow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That delay is very awkward. Had to look twice when I seen a squad addition from Liverpool but I won’t be so naive in the future. The club they’re coming from means hee-haw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1867 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) In the spirit of full disclosure, I may have aimed a few profanities at the ref on Saturday. And the Cove number 2. And Paul Hartley (well, obviously). I only had a couple of beers as well. I will try to be a better person next week at Methil but I doubt I'll manage it Thought the sending off was soft at the time but feeling a bit daft watching the highlights back as it was a really stupid foul when on a booking. In my defence, the view on the far side of the ground with the sun in our eyes isn't the best. Fair play to the team in the second half for digging out a great point. Defence was so disciplined as a unit, hardly put a foot wrong. Nothing spectacular from Ferrie this week but his handling and command of his area was faultless. At last a draw we can be happy with ( since the last game up there in similar circumstances) OK they missed a couple of good chances but Beuker and Potter got our formation and tactics spot on second half. Wise move to take off Thomson at HT when he was on a booking. Reid looked a player when he came on, I'd give him a start this Saturday Edited February 14, 2022 by Mick1867 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrie generates a lot of confidence commanding his area. Agree also with the recent comments on Robson's effectiveness. Substitutions and change of shape were spot on, and showed boldness going with McBride and Quitongo together. If they can find a way of playing together then Darcy, Brown and Connell could be formidable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Just watched the highlights and we looked much better than I remembered in the first half. After taking his time to look the business in the scoring stakes, Longstaff does the mad thing and gets sent off in the next game. QP at their best He looked unlucky with the first booking but the second was clearer. Good to see five Cove players run up to the ref to make sure he got it right. Maybe they should have saved their energy to get onto one of the chances firing across our goal in the second half. Great shift to survive that and we do look a solid outfit now. There does seem to be more confidence about the team. Fresh and honest interview from Beuker after the game. Most guys would have crowed about getting a point but he was noticeably unhappy.

Most successful teams have a bit of b*****dry and dark arts about them. Willie Miller, I’m told, was a cracking ref. Scott Brown is decent at it as well. Getting in the ref’s ear is part of the game. We’re far too passive for my liking. I’d love us to have a bit of the edge the Cove squad seem to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
