    I don't agree it's because the players are not playing for the manager.

    The problems have all started since this new keeper and the young centre half came in.

    We can't change the keeper but this stubbornness not to play Semple who proved himself the last time he featured and last week in the reserves is potentially costing us.

    The Semple situation is strange in that the lad actually scored in his comeback game , playing well before understandably running out of gas and then bombed out of the team in the next game. If Calum Semple's confidence was low then it will be even lower with Johnson's decision to put a young loan lad straight into the defence ahead of him. I agree with Albertz - 442- Hamilton and Dobbie up front and get the ball delivered as early as possible from the wide areas for Hamilton to attack and Dobbie to feed off the second ball and scraps.Oh , and Semple and Kilday centre halves. We also have to accept the unpalatable truth that although Dobbs is still a fine player, his influence on games has nosedived dramatically. We have seen the best of our legend .

    I reckon that Dobbie is no longer as effective for Queens due to Dykes leaving the club, as no other player is doing the donkey work that Lyndon was.

    That's 100% true. Dykes endless running took defenders away out the road giving Dobbie more space.
