AJ - in or out ?

What most of us seem to forget is that if we'd taken a draw against Kili on the opening day, - which we should have done; beaten Ayr at Somerset, - which we should have done; beaten Morton at home instead of drawing, - which we should have done, and taken full points yesterday, - which once again we should have done, there would be no debate about the manager's capabilities.

Now, - for those of us who haven't watched Queens this season, I'll say that its been a mixture of bad luck and poor finishing that has lost us the above points, - and we really do need a reality check at the beginning of November.

Yes the manager could and should be making substitutions earlier, - especially when being beaten(or in the case of the Kilmarnock ensuring that 0- 2 did not become 0-4), - but the players should have put many of the above games beyond doubt, and we would now be sitting quite comfortably in the table, - instead of thinking of changing our manager.

Bottom line is we did lose and draw these games. We were also gubbed against Arbroath, when they finished with 10 men. I disagree with the draw against killie. We defended well but never created a chance of note on our home patch. Inverness away we were thumped and the score line flattered us. And a few forget that although we created a few chances against raith, our keeper also had a few smart saves to make.
You make your own luck in football and at the moment we are not at the races. Yes we have a decent defence and midfield but like I have said numerous times, we offer nothing up front. The last forward to score was Roy against Patrick but I can’t remember the last forward to score prior to that. And without goals in the side we are going to struggle. And this side certainly doesn’t have goals in it. That is shown with raith, ayr, Morton, etc. Where we have dominated and created chances but haven’t. fine lines and luck have nothing to do with it. Not having a forward line that can score goals is the main problem

Good post FatFan and I also think we need a midfield enforcer such as McKenna or Scally plus in my opinion an experienced central defender.
