bigjerseybuddie Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Great result with a makeshift defence. With a bit more conviction we could have been out of sight before we decided to play too deep and surrender territory, thus allowing them to take the initiative. Never felt comfortable in the second half. Strange feeling having some misgivings after a 3-1 win. I guess that's how far we have come. When we start passing and anticipating the second ball we are very good indeed. Defensively we need a bit more time to gel. We have the look of a team with a lot more to come. I love my team. Oh, and lastly my 12 year old who is Man Utd mad absolutely loves Stelios! Don't we all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Great result, not as accomplished a performance as we have seen at other games but we didnt collaps when queens came at us and may even have gone further ahead in the last 10 after we had weathered the storm. Lewis was ..... well, Lewis. McCart fitted in well and Todd was having a great game until his injury. Special mention for me must go to Jack Baird, some really commanding play up against two of the leagues most experienced and pain in the arse forwards.

TopCat Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I wouldnt agree it was comfortably. There were a few spells in the game where we looked under pressure and sat off them a bit. Still deserved the win overall but need to work on keeping hold of the ball as like the ICT game it got a wee bit scrappy.Cammy Smith and Liam Smith were brilliant. Solid debut bar one clearence from McCart, Captain led by example and normal service resumed by Lewis. Think you're being harsh saying that wasn't comfortable. We went off it a bit after 3-0 but QOTS didn't really look like making it 3-2. We weren't great but we won easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Lewis Morgan was brilliant again. I thought Liam Smith had another good game too. Stephen McGinn was superb today. He won some amount of tackles today and bullied their midfield the same way Dunfermline did to us last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Smith sort of gets overlooked but the boy looks a really good player very rarely makes a mistake, always very comfortable in possession doesn't panic when under pressure maybe Hearts will let us keep him.

nedflanders123 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Wouldn't it be nice if the powers that be at BBC Scotland gave some mention of our league rather than simply concentrating on the SPL? Even a short highlight of the allotted game of the day in the Championship would be a start. Even Sky show highlights of all 4 of their leagues. BBC Scotland is a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 3 goals up Jack changed the tactics rightly for me given the makshift defence. Bottom line we got what we wanted 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 The bandwagon rolls on. Special mention to two players in particular who are rarely in the limelight. First is Baird. Before the game most were thinking Dobbie and Lyle would give our defence a torrid time but I thought Baird was excellent with his own game and marshalling McCart who had a good first half but was caught out a couple of times in the second half. And Second is Todd. Must be frustrating for Todd, Kirkpatrick and the two Stewarts getting little game time but I thought Todd did well and he was playing in a position he is unaccustomed to as well. Well done guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing you have GOT to remember is that there is an opposing team trying to achieve the same thing you are for me we gained a great 3 pts today QOTS will take points from our rivals which suits me we looked good today (in parts) but we still are threat and it's still September........ Well done Stanelysaint..... I couldn't have put it better myself. If we play below par and get 3 goals, just think what we might be like full strength and very much on form.

FTOF Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Any team that prevents Dobbie and Lyle from scoring has done pretty well. Room for improvement, but we can't always dominate for 90 minutes. We weathered the storm for periods of the second half. That wouldn't have happened this time last season. Thought Baird had a very good game today. He powered through every header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a cracking prospect . Comfortable on the ball, quick feet and decent distribution. He was however getting roasted by the big Queens (no25 ?) with every high ball. Great bit of management by J&J however who realised what was happening and sent Todd over to double up and snuff out the issue . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Baird shaded it for my MotM. He looked liked the experienced old head in that defence. Did the simple things very well and was very commanding in the air and on the ground. Well done, Jack! McGinn was excellent this afternoon. A real skipper's performance. Lewis Morgan is a star. That's all that needs to be said. Very happy with the result today. Not the best performance, but I wasn't confident that we'd get the win, so delighted with that.

East Lothian Saint Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 On way home after a great day out. Immense first half. Thought Josh Todd was A1. Smith and Morgan were sublime. Central defence coped well and McCart looked the part. Todd going off kinda ruined the tempo and when Riley was substituted we looked vulnerable. Big Ross Stewart didn't have the same presence and we defended too deep. Still we weathered the storm and James McFadden can safely be called wee fat McFadden the spent force. Well done boys. 3 points you can't get any better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branniganm Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 If we can play like that and win 3-1 then we are in for a good season.

Julian Banjos Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Would have taken that beforehand! Smith (21), Baird (21), McCart (20) and Stelios did well against Queens' wily forward line aided by a stellar performance in front of them from McGinn. Going forward, I think it's fair to say that in more games than not we'll get a goal out of the Morgan-Reilly-Smith triumvirate. Only downer is the Josh Todd injury - he's apparently dislocated his shoulder again. He looked fit, has obviously performed in training and played well in the first half.

Will possibly need an op to tighten up his shoulder joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
