Saturday's game with Kelty will be the last at Palmerston for a few weeks and we'll miss it, - even if the football was at times indifferent this season.
We should get ourselves along and show our support to the lads and especially the manager, as his re-building job, - could be the most important many of us have seen for a long time.
Be glad to see the back of this season but I’m looking forward to seeing what players Marv can bring in. He certainly talks a good game and is very much a true professional who’ll take no sh1t from anyone.
Absolutely Aloreburn, - and what is needed at Queens to move the club forward.
I always detest the void of the close season but this one is probably the most important in many years. Marvin now has to construct a squad to his liking who have the balance that he is seeking and to a man are prepared to match his punishing regime. The board must also fully support him to get the calibre of players he wants so we can achieve the goal of promotion next season otherwise I fear that it could end badly and Queens will languish in the lower leagues for many seasons as a part time team. We are drinking in the last chance saloon.
Hopefully it will therefore be a successful recruitment close season and we are all buzzing for the start of next season on our new higher quality grade surface.
Fingers crossed Spike that Queens under Mr Bartley improve greatly after a quite a few seasons now of pretty dismal fare - apart from the individual brilliance of Stephen Dobbie of course - with many fans disappearing like snaw off a dyke. I agree 100 per cent we are now drinking in the last chance saloon ! !Quote:

Let’s hope that changes tomorrow
Tomorrow will be a good time to rectify that poor record and I suspect that we will do just that 😉. Mon the South 👏👏Quote:

Yes good luck in your future Ruari if as rumoured you are leaving Palmy for pastures new. By the way did he finish up the top League One scorer or was it shared with the lad from Airdrieonians ? - The Sunday papers give different versions !Quote:

Harry had another fine game and the support seem to have really taken to him of late. Attitude is so important in football. If everybody had put in the effort of Paton this season we would not have toiled to fifth. I thought East and McKechnie played well. East needs a bit more intensity sometimes than the coolness that sometimes can look like casualness. It was a shame Ruari missed out on that elusive hat-trick. Others seemed buoyed from his interview with Sandra but I thought the waves were from a man on the move. He has been a great signing and improved both seasons.
My only negative was Paul McKay and McKenna again too soft and more often than not seem to lose one on ones. I think we need different types than them.
Kelty were pretty poor but a lot was down to use. Agyeman looked interesting strong and quick and a fine finish but the rumours seem to be him following the road to Raith.
Must mention Muir's cameo. He put in a great cross and looked forward all the time. He looks as though he believes he belongs in the first team. A small pot of evidence admittedly but I think he has been under used by both managers.
A busy close season for the manager. Obvious but he has to raise the standards again.
Missing the football already.
