Edinburgh v Queens

[jardi]

Let's hope the time for reflection has allowed for the appropriate thought processes to have taken place! The brevity of the statement was probably accurate, but the strength of feeling expressed was unlikely to have assisted Wullie in his decision making at that point in time. I'm sure you'll agree that a red mist descending tends to obscure rational thought?
Now leaving the niceties to one side, it should have been abundantly clear to the management and players alike that a change of tactic is required to compete at this level. In the few games we have performed very well, Queens have used a high octane, high pressing game, allowing the opposition no time to think, while keeping the ball on the deck and using one or two touches. It's an exhausting tactic, but it demoralises the opposition and leaves them chasing shadows. Eventually, as they tire, we have more time on the ball, and with the clever use of substitutes the opposition capitulates. Effectively, that was the tactic we used to great effect against Edinburgh City in the back to back matches and also against Alloa, but unfortunately we were extremely unlucky on that occasion.

Indeed I do. Venting is one thing, shouting dog’s abuse is another. Particularly galling when aimed at individuals.
