QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 One cup-tie to nil so far this season to Forfar but this match will be closer than the League Cup game. Queen's have been consistently good but too often failed to turn possession into goals (with one obvious exception). Forfar had an excellent start to the season but now without a win in 2 months languoring in the lower half of L1. Not sure who qualifies as underdogs for this one. We're on a roll though so a 2-1 home win for me. Good luck to The QP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We've progressed since the last time the sides met and Forfar don't look to be having the best of times after a decent start. This is a winnable tie for us and we've nothing to lose with it being against a team from a higher league. All the pressure is on Forfar, we can only go out and apply ourselves as we have done over the last couple of games and we'll have a chance.

Cresto11 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Confident we can win this one, still think there is a gap in quality between the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofixedability Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I think it's a 50/50 match that will depend upon who gets the first goal, our lack of goalscorers still a big concern. Given recent results probably better chance away from home than if it goes to a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cresto11 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Will be interesting to see if any of our loans will be allowed to play, should find out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafc1885 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Martin and Rose are unable to play going by Dick's interview in the Dispatch. Nothing said about Black and Allan is now back at Hibs for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo83 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This will be a very hard game for the station Park men,Queens Park easily the best time I've seen at links park this season and last!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Forfar website suggesting that no loan players given permission to play and likely that Foxy and Sanny will be the replacements with TOB stepping back alongside Nicoll. Very young bench for the Loons in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 61% possession against Mo at Links last week when we won 6-1. We had 61% possession at the earlier game at Hampden when Mo won 1-0. That pretty much sums up our season.

Cresto11 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 This may be a bit of a struggle without the loan players, was starting to like the look of Martin and Rose. Team picks itself Douglas Baxter Nichol O'Brien Campbell Young Hodge Swankie Fotheringham Denholm Templeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens at least you can say you got to Hampden in The Cup. Enjoy your day. Think it could go either way to be honest, we've not been in great form but do still have some quality in the team although Queen's seem to be doing well recently. Where's best to get a pint near Hampden? Is the QP social club still open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Looks like there has been a lot of money on Queens park today as the price has been getting shorter and shorter- why is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well that was an abysmal performance from Forfar, lucky to get a replay. First half was a pretty turgid affair with the only thing of note before QP scored being a Foxy free kick that hit the underside of the bar but bounced out. We struggled against simple passing and moving throughout with our slow, static defending, especially out wide and in midfield. Queens scored with a nice finish from the Hacksaw but it was too easy for him, he had a lot of time. Second half we weren't really any better, although Queen's offered little inititially too, we scored when a ball in popped up and Danny Denholm showed great technique to score with an overhead kick. That was pretty much the last chance we had. Queens did create a few chances, Duggan scooped over from a corner when he should have scored and Rab made two good saves, especially late on when the ball broke to a player at point blank range. This was a game where neither team did enough to win and I'd be very surprised if that was the standard performance from Queen's, they were the better team but that's like comparing which STD I'd better. For us Rab was the only good player. Sanny tried hard and had a few good touches, especially first half, but was isolated and ran out of steam. Centre backs did ok and although they were guilty of aimless hoofs that was more down to the lack of options in front of them. I feel Yano gets singled out needlessly sometimes but he really is now the equivalent of a kicker in American football. All you have to do is move slightly and you've got him beat, he just can't defend anymore as he's too slow. Good to have for free kicks, corners and penalties, but is that enough to justify his inclusion? Beaky, Hodge and and Young were all poor and it's obvious that there is no confidence. Ultimately the buck stops with manager, he is the one who has built a squad with barely any pace at all, no cutting edge and no out and out centre forward. There is no depth either with the young players struggling when they came on today. I think time is up for Campbell, we have enough about us to still be looking up rather than down in the league and we are still in the cup but I think he's done all he can and it's time to step aside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I love Yano and I don't like moaning about our players, but he just punts the ball 100% of the time. He never just looks inside and keeps possession. It's utterly frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
