Main thing that struck me was that the centre backs were not talking at all and No.35 was particularly poor overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any signs of turning a corner on recent disappointments, other than escaping by a penalty miss to hang on for three points? The stats on the BBC website seem to suggest we were a bit lucky but that's just guesswork on my part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence was much more solid and midfield had more of a control on the game. Now need to improve in the final third and we’re set for the playoffs if we play like that week in week out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) I'm pretty sure Bartley knew he had a big job ahead but today reinforced that. I like the look of the new keeper. The new defender (Brydon) I thought did OK especially when you consider the quality of the other defenders in the back 4. He shows promise. We absolutely need someone who can both defend and crucially organise a defence. Thought Paton was best for us, Todd played well first half but faded a bit 2nd half and as for that penalty deary me. Woeful. Wilson missing out through injury again a big blow. Overall I thought Montrose were probably just the better side but had we scored the penalty a draw wouldn't have been unfair. Just to note (and praise) some quality time wasting from Montrose after they took the lead. Still it's not all bad. Max Currie gone and it seems East Kilbride might even have paid a fee for him Edited January 14, 2023 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortyMo Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Certainly not a classic. First half was a non event. Mo came out of the blocks at the start of the second half and scored on the back of some sustained pressure. We then sat back and let QOS back into it. Thought we'd blown it when the penalty was awarded but that attempt made Harry Kanes look like a close shave. The ref let a lot go but it looked a rather robust challenge just before the pen leaving Brown lying injured. Big Kerr Waddle certainly merited his MOM award. Him and Dillon were solid at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Montrose worthy winners despite the very best efforts of the referee. Queens weren’t awful but you can see why they’ve struggled- lightweight & low on confidence. We laughed at lot at McKenna. I’m sure Bartley will turn things around given time. Lyons scored an excellent goal to win the game but a neutral will point to absolutely appalling defending- 3 or 4 chances to atop the build up / shot missed. Infuriating refereeing- penalty very very soft & several heavy challenges / blatant fouls on Montrose players missed whilst whistle immediately blown for challenges the other way. A very clear penalty shout denied too. Whoever that guy was, not fit to be a senior referee. Still we take the three points & move on. Happy with that. Congratulations also to Josh Todd for the successful launch of the first Dumfries probe into orbit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it the other week but it wouldn't matter who we brought in as manager. The squad apart from two or three just aren't good enough. He'll do good once he's got his own squad in so we all need to just calm down and wait till next season realistically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is the squad is already too big and I reckon Billy won't be overly keen to part with even more cash on wages until the deadwood is either moved on either in the unlikely event that they are wanted by other clubs or mutually agree to contract terminations which is just as unlikely given that many may struggle to get another full-time gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Looked the fixtures pre Xmas Kelty, Clyde, Alloa at home Falkirk and Montrose away. Thought that, even with our shortcomings it wasn't asking too much to hope for 9 points from a possible 15..................we have managed 1 solitary win and 4 defeats. No New Manager bounce today - just more of the same insipid, aimless football with no cutting edge whatsoever and a dreadful defence. McKenna's defending for the goal was typical - ball watching and then when Lyons ran at him he backed off and backed off rather than try and hold him up in a less dangerous area. Schoolboy stuff really. Feel sorry for Paton tonight - not for the first time this season he must be wondering when some of his colleagues are going to show up especially his strike partner Reilly who becomes more and more anonymous with every passing week. Paton did a power of work, showed for the ball repeatedly and his touch and passing was really good in tough conditions. I think McKechnie showed today why he has not featured for some time. GK looked good - I will reserve judgement on Brydon until he gets some proper support from those around him. Don't think anybody would be comfortable mopping up Dave McKay's mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Vital win, which hopefully will give a bit of confidence back to the team. Think we just about deserved it - our midfield worked well today, which isn't something I've typed much in the last two months. I'm putting the QOS penalty miss down to karma because it looked very soft, as already mentioned. Bartley has a lot of dreck to clear out in that side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An arm around the waste pulling the player to ground? Looks like the easiest decision the ref had to make all day. The penalty itself was absolutely awful. Looked an even game with us coming out second best again. Thought the boy took his goal really well. Could have easily went for power but it was good composure and a cheeky wee finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Queens players blootering tha ba' wide or high doesn't really surprise me, you just need to watch their pre-match shooting in practice when they're under no pressure. It's more likely they'll knock the chips out of some poor spectator's hand up near the tea bar than get shots on target. Why must they always try to burst the net, concentrate on getting it on target. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I like Todd as a player, but that really is one extraordinarily bad penalty. He doesn't even blast it over, but instead chips it there. It looks like the Harry Kane one, not from the France game, but from the jokey film he did years earlier with Johnny Wilkinson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Watched the highlights earlier, not sure how the ref missed/didn’t think the Dillon pull back on McKechnie was a foul. McKechnie staying on his feet maybe going against him but was no advantage signalled so got to assume the ref didn’t see it from his angle or didn’t think it was a foul . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwithnoball Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Just watched the highlights. McKenna just do us a favour and do one. How does Gibson miss the one from a yard out. Impressed with new keeper coming for crosses. We had chances and Todd's penalty well less said the better. If everyone is fit I would play this team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
