Queens boss Marvin Bartley has told his players they will need to learn to live with the physical side of games if they want to be successful.

The Palmerston boss feels his side were bullied by part-time side Clyde as they huffed and puffed their way to a point in Lanarkshire.

He said: “The first half performance is so far off what is acceptable and what we have been producing. We had told the players what to expect, we told them if they deal with the physical side and set-plays, they will win the game. “We didn’t deal with those.

We were bullied and they showed more heart and determination than most of us and that is unacceptable. “It isn’t good enough when other teams are working harder than you and physically dominating you, putting their heads in when boots are flying – that’s what part-time teams do and if you don’t match that you’re never going to climb the table in this league and you’re never going to be successful.
