Falkirk

Agree with everybody saying it's a team effort. Falkirk fan on Pie and Bovril moaning about the pitch and giving the score as Dobbie 2 Bairns 0.
Any team that thinks that we are nullified by removing the Dobmeister is in for a surprise imo. He is also a terrific team player and as young Dykes and Del, Anderson and Hilson play alongside him more the link up play - which ain't bad after a handful of games - will get better and better.
I too would give special mentions to the "slim Jim" Miller, Jacobs and Brownlie. They have been great in every game I've seen. These are exciting times with guys like Brotherstone also impressing when he has played.
UP THE QUEENS!

Honestly, felt the 2-0 flattered us and the 4-1 last week as well . Now I have got the realism out the way , let me say , I and all of you are delighted at this start by our precious club. The good thing is that I believe we can get even better because the confidence of the team will make it gel even quicker . A LC QF including an away win at Hibs , two wins and a draw v Dundee Utd, Ayr and Falkirk and a home tie in the Irn Bru Cup game . Going to wake up face first in my cornflakes soon. Go

There is still room for improvement and the Bairns had a lot of possession but we restricted them to a few half chances.

We on the other hand with Dobbie outstanding created a hatful of clear cut chances and it could have ended up 5-0. An outstanding feature of the game were the long throw ins from Hamill which caused havoc in the visitors defence.

An excellent report on the game on QOS Official site conceding the Bairns had dominated large spells of the contest especially in the first half and near the end (their corner count was around 10) while Lee Robinson has some great saves but we had a maestro called the Dobmeister.

What's so good at the moment is we are winning games when Queens have clearly plenty of improvement to come.
The confidence in the team must be building especially for the younger players.
Thought Jacobs was immense again.
What can you say about Dobbie two great strikes. 😀

A pretty fair summary of the game on the Official Site. We rode our luck a bit and maybe on another day could have paid the price but the 2 goals from Dobbie were worthy of winning any game, the man just doesn't do ordinary. It's a team game however and all of them put in a good shift in difficult conditions. A bit of inconsistent refereeing (as usual) saw some fouls being given and similar ones being ignored, and I mean for both teams, maybe another reason why people are turning their back on the game but that's a discussion for another day.
We have now played 3 of the more fancied teams in the division, Dundee United, Hibs (Cup game) and now Falkirk and shown that we can compete with the best of them.

Sorry chippy. I don't go along with us riding our luck. For me it was a masterclass in tactics from the manager and a masterclass in finishing from dobie, with a couple of decent saves from our keeper but that's why they were signed. Did falkirk have more possession? Yes they did but that was due to them having an extra man in midfield meaning millar and jacobs had to sit deep and make there tackles from kerr's passes. that meant we could have dykes supporting the forward line and I think we more or less finished with three forwards playing up front. With the ability we have up top we were always going to cause them problems and so it proved. They did have there chances but so did we, and I would say ours were the better ones, so for me the result was the right one.

Looking at falkirk, I think if they don't get a win soon then their managers jacket will be on a shoogily peg. He has spent a bit of cash and they are no where near as good as they have been in the last two seasons. Couldn't believe McCracken was left on the bench with gasparoto taking his place and Baird appeared to be playing up front on his own. There two new midfielders weren't great either, certainly nowhere near the standard of vaulks and Alston. That's them only got one point in their opening fixtures and there supporters didn't sound to happy so things aren't looking to good for them at the moment and they are in danger of losing there way a bit. I'm not saying they are relegation material but if they continue in the same vain then they won't be play off material either.

I remember looking at our opening fixtures and thinking we would be in falkirks position at the start, how wrong was I? The manager has got the team playing attacking football and has added wisely to the squad, not just with Dobbie, but also with lee, who brings a calmness to the defence, dykes is good and will get better, anderson has been decent, and the youngsters he is bringing through are looking the part, particularly like what I have seen from brotherston. I see good things for us this season and now I'm really looking forward to it.
