Honestly don't know what to expect on Tuesday night. Both teams haven't picked up a point in their last 6 games . Will the management team somehow install the confidence we've been lacking over the last 10 weeks ? Can we start taking our chances and will the crowd be under the 1,000 mark ?
It's worrying when you read supporters like Bagapapa spitting the dummy and not going back. He's a Queens diehard that's finally had enough

I personally think we should all give the new manager a chance to show us what he can do with the team before making rash decisions like not going back

Mon the South !!!!

Well, inconvenient as it is being a Tuesday night and p!ssed off as I am with the combination of crap performances, bad luck and results, I shall be there on Tuesday, watching with my eyes closed and hoping for a win.

Cannot see new manager having an effect on confidence. Think it needs a result first for that to build. Surely we can't suffer any more of the bad luck side of things. Having said that, I am a fan of Gary Player's saying on the lines of "the harder I work, the luckier I get."
I hope Jacobs is back in centre midfield. He may not be the perfect footballer but he isn't lazy.

Off the top of my head , I can't remember us beating St Mirren at Palmerston. Will have to check the record books but I think it's a long time.

St Mirren got their first league win last year at Palmerston and with them still looking for a first league win this season it could happen again.
Really hope Queens can stop the rot and get something from this game.

Queens beat St Mirren 1-0 in the 2nd home match last season when Alex Harris scored his first goal for Queens.

Cheers mate . I was wracking my brains through the 70s and 80's and there was a win last season I forgot about.

We were of course in different leagues for many seasons in the seasons between the last 2.

Except for the result I thought that was an entertaining and exciting match last night.
It is hard to believe that St.Mirren had to wait till Dec to notch their first league win of the season, as has been said they looked a quick and skillful side.
Too many people are too quick in blaming the players, for me it is all down to having a small squad (even before injuries to Tapping, Hilson and Jacobs).
At start of season everything clicked into place, a settled team playing with confidence and lifted by the signing and performances of Stephen Dobbie. We were scoring goals for fun and looked solid defensively.
After the stuffing was knocked out of our sails at Ibrox and the home defeat to Morton the confidence started to go. Then players picked up injuries and in a few games there were 4 or 5 players who were carrying knocks and not 100% fit, if we had 4 or 5 more senior players in the squad then these players would have had time to recover.
Every game you can look at the team sheet and it is 90% filled with youngsters. There are some decent lads there including Brotherston, Moxon, Bell etc but when they come on during a game its either because someone has to come off injured or we are behind and needing to look for a way back into the match. These youngsters are put under a lot of pressure to perform and its unfair on them to be expected to turn games round. In an ideal world they would come on when we have games won or are in full control and enjoy the experience.
Watched young Jake Pickard closely over the last few weeks and he certainly has potential but some people expect too much, would love to see him out on loan for the rest of the season to allow him to develop.
Much the same could be said about the other youngsters but with the squad size we have they are needed to step up to the plate sooner than is ideal.
Its all about steadying the ship now for our new Manager and I am sure he can clearly see where we need to strengthen and it looks like he will get the chance in the next window to bring in a few new faces.
Players who performed well in the first few months of the season do not suddenly turn into bad players and I am sure they will pick up and performances will improve.
It was very noticeable on Sat v Dumbarton that confidence was low with so many pass backs to the keeper where earlier in the season they would have been looking to play a forward ball.
The players are certainly still giving 100% and our luck will change.

I meant that our bench is full of youngsters, not the starting 11.

Thanks for info

Definitely our lowest crowd of the season tomorrow night but I've decided to go along . It's times like these the team needs our support and not for even more fans to walk away
