Queen's manager Gordon Chisolm writes in the QOS Official Site..
I'm disappointed at how the re-arranged fixtures have worked out. We've seven away games in less than a month and only one at home. It's not ideal! I would have preferred those four home matches we have in a row to have come earlier, but we'll just have to get on with 'life on the road' for a few weeks."
