Northfield 53 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We had a good win at Alloa but our home form has been very poor. Hopefully we can now play well and have a good home win. Will be a poor attendance as many will not come back for a while after the Livi nightmare. Fowler made 6 changes after the Livi game think this week the team will not change much.

pleslie99 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Don't think it really matters about your home form. We are in horrific form full stop, can't buy a goal. Not to mention we can't beat queens......ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We're due a result against QOS. It won't be on Saturday however, comfortable home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I would be tempted to start with the same 11 as yesterday. We all know that Hefferman is not going to win any sprinting awards but he does have the physical presence to cause defenders problems, he can hold the ball up and lay the ball off to teammates. The legs may not be as fast but he still has a good football brain. Millar also looked to be more up for it yesterday and covered a fair bit of ground but he needs to show that willingness on a more regular basis and Hutton has also upped his game since having a more regular slot. Right (wing)back seems to be the most problematic position this season in my view. Kidd doesn't fill me with great confidence defensively but with the current injuries only Hooper could be considered to come back in but Kidd didn't to too badly yesterday so it would be harsh to drop him. Brownlie looks a better player in a more central defensive roll. If the team carry the same attitude into the Dumbarton game as they showed yesterday I don't see any point why we can't take maximum points.

DumbartonTheSons Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We have a rancid record against Queen's in general, but in particular at Palmerston, so I'll clutch at some much needed straws and say that we're due a result against these. We're in a tough position in that we're looking at pretty-much 'needing' a result in a very tough game at a ground we have an awful record at. I really hope we can get something positive from our trip to Dumfries, as it would be a huge boost for us. How Stevie Aitken will try and turn it round for us at the moment, I don't know, but I'd like to see Kirky given a chance through the middle, and I'd like to see us have a bit more of a go at teams, be more direct in our approach and inject a bit more urgency to our forward play. Whether that's by changing personnel or by tweaking the tactics and approach, I don't know. But we need something and a result here would be a good boost for the team with a few tough (including this one) but very important games coming up for us.

At least we've both scored and won at Palmerston, something we've never achieved at the SHS/DFS/BBS/DFS/CID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Fleming for Gibson, he and Gallagher need a rest, let him attack when queens are tiring, hopefully Fleming on the wing isn't a great idea. He was rank yesterday, but I'd still start him or Craig with Brophy for a physical presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Team selection is a difficult one because it's tough to pinpoint exactly where it's going wrong. For me, Gallagher has looked decent in his time so far, but has suffered from being shunted around and is quite lightweight for a central mid. Fleming is a real workhorse, as hard a worker as we've had in years, but what is his best position. He's been a nemesis at the Falkirk stadium wherever he's played, but I don't know where he fits best this season. Fleming up-front needs someone to run off him (which we don't do at the moment) and playing wide, he just doesn't have the pace to do it. He could play up front as the runner for flick ons, but again, we don't help him do that. But I'd be reluctant to exclude him from the side because he adds so much with his workrate, and he can be relied on so often to do a job for the side wherever he plays. I'd like to see Fleming with Craig or Brophy beside him. Who knows if that's a possibility though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Queens took us apart earlier this season and if anything we've regressed since then. We're not going to win this. Perhaps Aitken should tinker with the squad a bit with a view to having a set plan of attack for the next home match v Raith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'd like to see Donald out wide. He's never going to win any battles with a big centre half but play him wide and let him run at people and he might get some joy. Gibson hasn't really offered enough going forward for a while now. Might be worth dropping him to remind him he isn't undropable. We really need to get help up front as well - Brophy did pretty well on Saturday but too often found nobody supporting him.

Silverton End Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think it'll be a goalfest this coming Saturday. Away win. Willie Gibson free-kick to clinch all 3 points. Hopefully them daft bints will take their 'clappy hand clackers' to Airdrie or Ayr. *sees 4 burly chaps in white medical garb approaching.....* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Given our honking form at the minute coupled with our honking record at Palmerston, I'll be astounded if we don't win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
