I'd also like to see faster, more composed defenders being utilised, and wonder if the Muir lad is not a better option than McKay?

It's also time to bring in the 6 foot 4 inch striker to strike fear into opposing defences, - allowing Paton and Connelly 'et al' to run at defenders and cause all sorts of havoc. On paper, - Queens have all the components to dismantle the opposition, - we're just not being bossy enough, - and that stems from the midfield as has been said many times, - by many more competent people than me.

To conclude: - I would like to add that Queens had 3 games last week, and played extremely well at Ibrox, - wo we need to cut them a little slack at the moment, - but should these performances continue this month, - then some serious questions would have to be asked.
Serious questions of who tho jardi. The board? The manager? The players? I was praising the team from the roof tops after the st Johnstone game and genuinely thought we were in for a memorable season, but the performances from players and the tactics used since then have been shameful. Yes we were decent against rangers but look at what we were playing that night. The performance against Falkirk and Dunfermline were embarrassing and we got lucky against airdrie. For me it’s been as bad as last season to date
