Queens v The Accies

[The Beautiful South]

This going to watch a supposed game is starting to get tiresome. Bloody freezing wind and not a thing on show that I could say warmed me up and tbh it was nothing more than I expected. Negative tactics, poor quality and standard and nothing that excited me. This against a team that defensively were suspect. At no point did I think we were close to Hamilton. Yes we competed in the first 15 minutes and created a couple of chances but after that it was all one way and we never laid a glove on them. Yes we have picked up a few points in recent weeks but we are nowhere near the standard needed for the play offs never mind championship.

Completely agree with this. We offered nothing in midfield and we sat far too deep for the whole game. We were bad in the first half but surpassed that with our second half performance. How Ambrose was not subbed beats me, some of his play in the second half was nothing short of embarassing. Too many players were ineffectual which includes the subs who were equally culpable. At times we couldn't even string together two passes. We truly are dreadful.

My God that was woeful, - and I completely concur with Fatfan and the Beautiful South.

In addition to the very valid points made by both today, - why did Bartley wait 10 minutes to sub Lewis after he suffered from cramp? If this had been the 1970's with no subs on the bench I could have understood throwing him some salt and a bottle of water, - but with McKechnie and Walker on the bench and both straight subs for Gibson, - why did he wait? The poor lad looked over several times as if to question his bosses sanity.

Jardi the main question is how a young professional footballer can be going down with cramp after 70 minutes of play, particularly when imo he didn’t do that much running. Either there are serious fitness issues with Gibson or he may have been looking at the game and saying bugger this. I want off!!! Yes the tactics were poor but how a professional footballer can’t make the 90 minute mark without going down with cramp, or how they can’t play 10 yard passes without finding a blue shirt or miss tackles etc etc etc.. that’s down to the standard of players we have. Not one of those players could come off that pitch with there head held high. It was as if they were accepting defeat before a ball was kicked. Not one positive today!!!
