Never mind 4th spot, 3rd is a real possibility.

As said, the scoreline didn't reflect the game. Could have easily finished 6 or 7 - 1

I would bench Russell for a few games. Nothing seems to be working for him just now and his confidence looks low. Agree he should be playing up front but this is never going to happen. Danny deserves a run out IMO.

Probably the most comfortable League game of the season.We should really have hit 5 or 6.Gavin,Russell and McHugh should have added to our tally and ump**** dead balls flashed by Higgins,Dowie and Holty.We seemed to shoot when the pass was on and pass when the shot was on.We can't complain though as we are looking strong if not always spectacular at the right time.
Greg Stewart looked capable for Cowden and the left back had something about him but the two centre halfs and the keeper were exposed to pace.
Iain Russell looked low on confidence.Holty was poor with his passing early on its the part of his game holding him back.Kerr is either very assured or gives the ball away.
Best for us were Dowie,Burns,Mitchell and Reilly.Great clearance from Higgins from Zanders parry and unlucky not to score a second.Mitchells dead ball delivery was again excellent.
We should give Dundee plenty of problems.

Like last weeks game at Alloa this was not a classic but another three points on board is the main thing. Third spot is now well within our sights and if we can maintain this form then our match V Falkirk on the 12th of April could be even more crucial.

I thought Queens midfield was poor the 1st half yesterday. They were not creating anything for the strikers, and not retaining possession.Big difference the 2nd half half with the introduction of Paton and Lyle, and Queens could have scored another four or five.The defence looked pretty solid again, and our centre backs are a goal threat at set pieces.Russell and Mc hugh were pretty in-effective again, and i think it's time they were warming the bench.Queens have nothing to fear against Dundee, and Gav will cause havoc to their defence.Up the Queens!

As others have said we missed a lot of great chances and it was disappointing to lose a late goal from a punt that Zander should have been coming for.

Cowdenbeath were decent enough and if Hemmings had played I suspect that they would have carried more threat.

[color=blue]Still feel that the inclusion of Russell wide left is a bit baffling as he hasn't really played well since his sending off at Morton and his valuable early goals have dried up. Still don't know why he isn't seen as a contender for a striking role.[/color=blue]

Hopefully Paton will be fit enough to start against Dundee and it would be good to have Durnan back.

We haven't beaten any of the top 3 away from home and Tuesday would be a great time to start!

Russell has gone right of the boil of late,missing chances and losing possession in dangerous areas. In my humble opinion our best option up front is the tenacious Reilly and the crafty Lyle ...
