    Strange one...

    Positive start,take the lead.Defensive mistake leveller.Take the lead again,lose two goals to defensive errors,all before half time.Second half Queens with bulk of play but never looked like getting anything back.Not easy viewing,too lax in virtually all areas.A few players having "off days"Hard one to take,given the decent start.Hey...this is Queens!

    I don't understand why Naysmith doesn't throw on another two subs when losing 3-2?

    Albertz, I completely concur!

    I mentioned that we struggled against Ross County until Frizzel came on and I couldn't understand why we didn't try wee Connor at least, - as his fresh legs would have pushed them back.

    However, when losing 3-2, - it is almost incomprehensible that a manager would not throw his last dice in an attempt to chase the game!

    Once again, Dobbie and Harkins were on their last legs, - and all the defence needed to do was contain them. Throwing on fresh legs adds impulse, - if not panic (amongst the winning team) and I cannot for the life of m understand why he didn't?

    Please Mr. Naysmith, - you must throw caution to the wind and try some new permutations while you can. Better to do it now than waiting until Dobbie has to be rested with a groin strain and Harkins is suspended.

    Please be assured this is not a disgruntled fan being critical, it is just the application of pure logic.

    Especially when the winning team use all their subs.

    Interesting debate especially considering the numerous posters, including myself, who have pointed out the weakness of the Queens bench as being a defining factor this season for the club! Other than Frizzel is there anyone who could come on and change the course of a game?

    We will never know,because the manager never gives the youngsters the slightest chance.I have said previously that there may well be one or more sitting on the bench that could be a "diamond" However,it looks like the chances of finding out are slim,given that anyone who comes off the bench this season has invariably been given only a couple of minutes to show what he can do.Seems like the boss has little faith in the bench.That being the case it looks like we will struggle for the rest of the season unless more experienced players are brought in during the next transfer window.
