I think the question the board have to ask is have we improved in the 18 months Gary Naysmith has been in charge.Can we trust him to take the team for another season?My answer.Please no.
Very telling and honest as ever interview with Naysmith where he clearly accepts responsibility for the teams failings with the crowds negative response at half time actually saying he would have reacted the same way. So what does he do now rather that what he has done previously? Based upon recent games and the players performance on the pitch-nothing! The BoD clearly need to have a serious discussion with the manager before the season ends and players are either let go with others recruited. Something has to fundamentally change and soon. He is clearly drinking in the last chance saloon.
I know from your posts that you are not someone to overreact so I found your comments on Naysmith very telling. Queens really can't afford to pay off GN and DA and then get another boss and assistant in. To be honest I'm not certain that anyone else could do better if you compare the resources other teams in our league have . Naysmith needs to make a difference here to help him move on to a bigger club ( and the two of them wouldn't think twice if said bigger club came in) I put this point to Anderson and so know its true . So, I reckon we are stuck with each other in the meantime , life a loveless marriage with too much to lose. Maybe the ideal situation would be for another club to approach them both in the summer so we don't pay compo. What is certain is that interest in our dear club is fading slowly but surely and when something isn't working then something needs to change. If our appalling home form was better then possibly we would be looking forward with more hope.

I still reckon Queens will finish Seventh, although disappointing in the fact the club had been in the Top Six all season.
Inverness should pass Queens now and Falkirk have still to play St Mirren twice (home and away) and play Dumbarton, Inverness and Dundee United away.
JR at the recent "meet the management" event it was my question that asked them to appraise their performance on the whole since taking over in the beginning of December 2016 and by the reaction of both Naysmith and Anderson it was clear that they thought that they could do better. Ultimately it will be a Board decision and the diminishing crowds cannot be allowed to continue if we are to retain full time football at Queens. Therefore if there is not an improvement in the product we see every other week at Palmerston then they will have no option but to act in an attempt to turn around the attendance numbers and I envisage that the management will have been made aware of this otherwise the board are not doing their job. I would give them the first couple of months of the new season to turn around the fortunes or changes will then be necessary at whatever cost to the club that would entail.
