Queen's performance last night was up there with many of their games this season, and once again, despite dominating they only had one goal for all their efforts, and it looked like they'd paid for their lack of prowess in front of goal, - until Paton stepped up off the ball and stuck that incredible effort past their keeper.

I've seen several games like last night where if we'd won 3-0 or more the opposition wouldn't have complained, - but once again we hit the bar, and had a perfectly good goal not counted.

To say I was disappointed with the effort shown against ICT is an understatement, - but last night the boys gave everything, and a performance like that on Saturday and again next Tuesday is all we can ask for.

To conclude, there is a deafening silence when Queens play well, - but there are pelters from all angles when they don't come up trumps, and I think the players and management team deserve a lot of credit.

No-one can deny that Queens were unlucky last night, and unless we have some Lionel Messi's or George Best's in the squad, - then they are not deliberately aiming to hit the bar, - and surely even the greatest of the moaners can see that on the whole the team have genuinely been unlucky.

However, Alan and the rest of the backroom team cannot rest on their laurels, - they have just proved to the TV audience what they have been capable of producing in most games this season, - they have to replicate that from now on and lay the ghost of the pathetic ICT match to rest.
