Hewitson out

[arrol1919]

He’s the one calling all the shots. He’s the one that sacked Naysmith. He’s the one who’s dragging the good name of the club through the gutters. He may very well of done a lot of good things for Queens and I thank him for that but he’s the most unapproachable and disliked Chairman since Willie Harkness.

Only wish I knew someone capable of taken over

I’m no longer wasting my money travelling down to watch them until he’s gone.

Hewitson sacked Gary without telling his fellow directors. What a complete and utter joke

Thinking back to the afternoon in late August when we cantered to a 3-0 victory at Falkirk, when double figures would have been a more accurate reflection of the balance of play, in the most one-sided Championship game I’ve ever seen - it’s quite remarkable to think that if we take that match out of the equation, we actually performed worse than that utter rabble over the course of the season.

5-0 and 4-0 victories against Ayr and Ross County respectively seem like distant memories now, but the warning signs were always there: a paper-thin squad heavily reliant on one ageing star, with very poor central defenders, lack of cover in most positions, but particularly in the striking department, and a bench filled with callow youngsters, who with the best will in the world were never Championship standard - I always took issue with the oft-expressed opinion that we had no-one on the bench capable of changing a game - we did, just not for the better.

The last 3 or 4 months have been an utter disaster, but it was always liable to be so, given that injuries and fatigue would kick in (it hardly required Nostradamus to see this). We’ve had very little luck in that respect, with (arguably) our three best players (Dobbie, Todd and Low) being particularly afflicted, but there was a certain inevitability to all this. Leaving aside managerial limitations (which has clearly been a factor), it feels like the chickens are finally coming home to roost on the penny-pinching short-termism that seems to be club’s modus operandi these days.

The squad now resembles a rabble of the barely-fit and the barely-interested. Few players have a contract for next year, with seemingly more players committed to (or attached to) other clubs than to our own. Yes, the loan market and short-term contracts are firmly where we are as a club at the moment, given our financial position and low crowds, but the impression lingers that (Dobbie aside) we have a transient group that may or may not feel much commitment to the club. The stark contrast between our performances in recent weeks and those of our relegation rivals is telling.

I’m not making excuses for Naysmith here btw - he’s looked like a beleaguered and demoralised figure of late, and a gloomy, negative mindset seems to have pervaded his approach on the park at times - but I think the club’s problems are much deeper rooted than the limitations of one man. I’m not at all optimistic about navigating our way through the play offs, but even if we do stay up, it’s hard to see anything other than a grim struggle ahead over the next few years.
