Following last weekends victory over Peterhead it was no surprise that manager Wullie Gibson stuck with much the same side for the trip to Falkirk, making one enforced change as Calvin McGrory started in place of the injured Iain Wilson. The Gaffer also names himself amongst the subs for this one.
The home side showed their intent as early as four minutes when Aidan Nesbitt tried to play in Juan Alegria, but his shot was blocked. Just two minutes later Nesbitt himself almost opened the scoring as he got on the end of Finn Yeats cut back but could only watch as his header crashed back off the crossbar.
Queens were struggling to get a foothold in the game and chances were very limited. The ball did fall to Ruari Paton inside the box but as he turned to shoot the defenders blocked. And as the game flowed back up the other end, Stuart Morrison slipped and rolled his ankle as he tried to challenge Callum Morrison and as he was left on the deck, his namesake cut inside to curl a right foot shot into the top corner from 20 yards.
With Queens down to 10 men waited to replace Morrison, The Bairns did have the ball in the net again this time Alegria with the finish, but the flag was up for offside.
Morrison looked a constant threat as he roved around the pitch and Currie had to get down low to save his left foot shot. Queens were getting opened up as Falkirk passed their way up the park and were fortunate as Alegria completely misjudged his attempt at connecting with the ball.
Queens continued to struggle, Calvin McGrory did find Connor Murray out wide with a free kick but as he played it back into the six-yard box, Gavin Reillys overhead kick failed to trouble. They did have another chance midway through the first half, but Euan East headed over as the corner was floated in.
And with just under half an hour played a mix up between East and Paul McKay in the visitors defence allowed Alegria in through the middle to slot past Currie to extend Falkirks lead.
The home side were using the space on a wide-open pitch and with Morrison everywhere, Ciaran McKennas clearance just cleared his own upright. In the closing minutes of the first half, McGrory again found Murray with a set-piece but this time his delivery back into the box had too much power.
HALF TIME: Falkirk 2 Queens 0
In need of changing things, Lee Connelly and Harry Cochrane were brought off the bench after the break and Queens did seem to have more urgency about their play although the first chance of the second half fell to the hosts as Craig McGuffies left foot shot was just over.
There was definitely an improvement and more desire in the Queens side and as Connelly did well on the right, Paton dived to meet his cross, but his brave header was saved.
They were thrown a lifeline on the hour mark when East was pushed inside the box and referee Barry Cook pointed to the spot. It was Paton who stepped up and with confidence dispatched the ball low to the keepers right-hand side to reduce the deficit.
John McGlynn made a triple substitution and the home side stepped it up again. Nesbitt a thorn in the side of Queens forced a few corners but couldnt make them count.
With much more determination in their play Queens now looked a threat and as Connelly twisted and turned to make space 20 yards from goal, Nicky Hogarth made a great save to turn his effort out for a corner. Connelly played it short to McGrory who found East on the other side and as he knocked it back across the face of goal, Paton was inside the six-yard box but couldnt get enough on it to steer it over the line.
With 20 minutes remaining, Paton was proving to be a nightmare to play against and as he continued to push for an equaliser his next effort found the side-netting.
The game had opened up and Falkirk too looked a threat and Queens had to defend strongly to keep themselves in with a chance of taking something from the game and ten minutes from time East threw his body on the line to deny Liam Henderson.
But in the final minutes the game was out of Queens reach as the lively Nesbitt crossed from the right perfectly for Ola Lawal to head back Currie. Things went from bad to worse for Queens as frustration kicked in and Paul McKay was shown a straight red card for a challenge with seven minutes left of the 90.
