I still don't understand how Livi are up there in the top division given they had even less of a support than us when they were in the Championship...

Goodness knows. Most folk in West Lothian will head for Easter Road and Tynecastle...

thay are being backed by there owners deek unlike us ,livi are at best a low championship side if thay have to rely on club income alone ,now that there in the premier league thay can now sustain themselfs with there crap attendances as thay get hundreds of thousands league placement cash plus double it again for there tv rights cash ,queens only get about 1/10 th of there prize and tv income in the championship ,it pays to get to the prem ,life sustaining cash .

also johnny add to that the added gate recipts with being in the premier its a no brainer all hand to the pump to get us up i say and that means extra cash to give us a fighting chance from our board .

When you look at those SPL figures it just highlights what a missed chance we had with Dobbie.
Surely it's worth a overspend the occasional season? - timed right with who's in our league for the best chance.

I thought initially that putting Obileye in centre mid was a masterstroke as he could be an extra defender or attacker depending on what end of the park the ball was. As time went on, I changed my mind a bit as I thought we lost too much pace when we were moving forward with Ayo in the centre . Good luck to him but he certainly isn't as irreplaceable as some are trying to make out. Lovely penalties though, will never forget how cool he was taking them.

yea deek but it wouldnt take a hugely over funded assault at the league to get up ,lets face it the teams in our league with the so called bigger budgets arnt that much further ahead of us taking hearts out the equation on the player talent front ,all we require is a slightly bigger first team squad with a few extra better quality players in key areas ,top coaches and management team is a must for a smaller budgeted club to achieve better success as we dont have the ownership to buy our way up .atm queens are nowhere near these standards in the coaching recruitment catagory .

A goal scoring centre half is a huge asset and the fact he was pretty much defending the centre on his own I reckon he'll be quite a big miss.
Definitely need to get the defence tighter next season. As I read elsewhere, a defensive coach might be a real asset for us.
