Whilst I agree that Shaw is probably our best player, certainly in attack, his roaming across the park whilst looking to pick up the ball is leaving the midfield with a sh1tload of extra running to do to cover the spaces he leaves. This was particularly evident early in the second half as our midfield collectively ran out of gas. I thought Anderson was doing well too until he pulled up with sone kind of strain.Tough first shift for him, I hope he is fit for the next battle. Some half decent link up play between Brooks & Mckay in the first half, but an awful lot of offsides...poor timing/poor officiating or just a well drilled Pars backline? Still lacking the composure of Welsh I'd say.

Any luck?

Shaw seems to have a pretty free role,he's picking the ball up everywhere. There's a lot of space down their right but we only seem to have Duffy doing the overlap which isn't ideal.

Tight game, pars started well, doing that quick pass & move stuff that we hate. We seem to have grown into it since the goal. Anderson & Boyes looking the part. Boyes in particular looks like a stroll in this league...back four in no doubt as to who is in charge today.

Didn't see this one coming

If they actually rustled sweetie papers it would be an increase in decibels straight away

Billy's Boyes... I'll get me coat.

Confidence and running...the latter should be standard for pros at this level, every player should be covering as much ground to support the forward play and getting back quickly when things break down. The confidence part is more elusive, but if you're getting most of the running done then the rewards for the hard bit will contribute to building our fragile self belief.

Yes, 8 managers now in the last 10 years. Quality.

No 'doddsie' drinks anymore...what will they be christened next I wonder? Have a look into that there crystal thing...

If you recall before morrison came in we had a rapid series of chairmen coming and going, as if nobody really wanted it. I suspect this is still the case, if he were to resign tomorrow then I guess the position is yours if you want it.

We are certainly limited ,but giving teams a head start doesn't help.

Nathan Shaw

Union man is he?

Once again it looks like we created and missed the bulk of the chances. Sparse highlights don't really give any indication of how either team played tbh. Slackness cost us again, I'm concerned that this habit is going to be hard to kick. Players need to find the way to win as any confidence that may be lurking will soon be completely gone.

All go to the shinty instead

2 ? !!!!!

Brooks on. Goals please.

Have we scored yet?

Only week 2. As far as I'm aware we have one long term (nicolson) plus macgregors problematic ankle issue. I'm assuming the others are minor early season niggles, and Welsh tends to pick up plenty early season knocks so he isn't usually forced. Not quite time for full blown parliamentary enquiry just yet. The fact we're starting 3 new signings means we'll be less reliant on these squad members who were playing into June, and can hopefully benefit from a run in the team.

I wonder who's playing shinty today...

70% possession and they had to be gifted 2 goals. Tough season ahead for QP.

Hoping to see some of the intensity & sharpness that Dundee United showed last night, although with the quality of players they have added maybe wishful thinking. From the clips I've seen of us so far we haven't been close to the levels I'd expect, even with our shortened / hybrid preseason. 3 points today, regardless of how we get them, worry about the style later.

Would be good if the support takes note of it too, and perhaps recognise the work that's gone into it on their behalf, whether they are interested in the supporters trust or not.

I can't stand these optimists. Mid table finish. Lots of moaning thrown in to the bargain. Might lose the odd game or five, somebody might get injured, but really he will have fallen out with the tea lady who picks the team every second week.Grind out some results here and there , promising mid season surge, stutter then fade out at the end. Bit more moaning. Roll up. Roll up, here we go again!!
