Queen's Park took full advantage of some sloppy Annan defending on Tuesday

The games continue to come thick and fast so we've no time to dwell on things too much before we face East Stirlingshire on Saturday followed by Berwick Rangers midweek.

Shire had a bad result on Wednesday so both teams will be hurting after heavy defeats and it could make for an interesting game. We really need to take maximum points from these fixtures before travelling to Arbroath next weekend.

After speaking to a couple of my team-mates recently it really is amazing how a late goal can completely change your feelings and the way you look at a performance.

The recent games against Berwick Rangers and Albion Rovers spring to mind and show you the positive and negative aspects, depending on which way things fall.

Take the Albion game when, looking back it was a good point gained considering they could have been out of sight by half time. As it turned out we found ourselves 2-1 up in injury-time only to lose a last minute goal, dropping two points in the process.

Following that game the heads were down and there were an awful lot of negatives about how we couldn't clear our lines, substitutions, a red card for Andy Aitken and obviously losing the last-gasp goal.

In contrast, we scored our winner in the latter stages of our victory at Berwick with an Ian Harty penalty. We lost two really poor goals going behind twice and generally struggled during certain periods of the game.

Had the game finished in a draw I've no doubt that we would have gladly taken the point but the poor goals would have been the main focal point in the dressing room.

But the late goal meant handshakes and high fives all round and what a fantastic win it was after coming from behind not once but twice in the game.

Jimmy Greaves got it absolutely spot on!

I'll finish with a couple of apologies this week and first of all to two of my mates, Gaz and Moff. They both travelled across Glasgow to watch me on Tuesday night and not only did I mix their tickets up so they had to pay to get in but I also managed to get myself knocked out after five minutes of the game meaning I had to come off.

The second apology is for the supporters who travelled to the game.

I could be wrong but I don't think there was any acknowledgement from the players thanking you for being there in midweek. Obviously, it wasn't great for anyone to watch and you might already have left but you should always be applauded for coming to support the team.

Make no mistake it is appreciated and we'll hopefully be able to make it up to you at Galabank on Saturday.
