Following Alloa's defeat of Arbroath last, - just four points separate the bottom 6 clubs, - so the Championship is as tight as ever.

It is imperative that Queens look for a win on Saturday to achieve some distance between themselves and Alloa and then repeat the exercise the following week against Dunfermline.

Instead of wallowing in self pity at the loss of our goalkeeper and El Bak, - let us offer as much encouragement as we can to the club in their efforts to find replacements. You'd almost think the club was to blame for the Morroccan's and Rangers decisions to recall their players, - the way some folk go on!

Come on folks, a wee bit of sympathy here, - imagine if you were in that position?

Let's get ourselves along on Saturday and offer as much support as we can, - instead of moaning behind the keyboard.
