As always, there are all sorts of factors in play for last night's game. GA listed a few e.g. Lamie hardly had any game time due to illness, a number of players not playing due to niggles or short term injuries, Queens Park a couple of weeks ahead in their training, new players finding their feet and learning a new system and, possibly most important, he said that they are doing some high intensity training right now (without winding down for a match day) and players went into the game fatigued.
That's how every team has to prepare this early in the season, so all you can do is try to pick up points and look for improvement in each game - and qualifying from your group. It has its pros and cons. but it's more entertaining than pre-season friendlies.
