Boghead ranter Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Away win. Iain Russell will still manage to get on the scoresheet and/or enrage the home support, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Russell will still manage to get on the scoresheet and/or enrage the home support, somehow. He was sent off today, so he'll no doubt sit next to one of us in the crowd and eat really, really loudly. That was annoy me far, far more than any of the goals he scored against us. Anyway, this should be a relatively easy away win. Though we seem to be capable of producing some incredibly good home performances when we aren't expected to win - so you never know. Looking forward to seeing Dobbie again though, he's the sort of calibre of player who is just fantastic to watch...even when he's dismantling your own team. Given our atrocious first 70 minutes last week - and suspensions to Buchanan and Wright - Stevie has a difficult task to build a team. He did admit that 4-4-2 didn't work on Saturday (albeit I had no idea Gaz was playing upfront in a 2, I thought he was deep) so we'll be going 4-4-1-1. Thommo finally snatched a goal yesterday, which may have done wonders for his confidence, but he still isn't clinical enough for me. Especially when playing him means that we just launch high balls up the park. I wouldn't be hugely averse to bringing McCallum in for him. He's not fantastic, but he's direct and tricky and might let us shake the gameplan up a bit. Stevo has to start. As does Stanton. I would've dropped Barr, but with the suspensions we really can't. Pettigrew looked miles out of his depth (again) so I'd go out of my way to not start him - we were far better without him (and Stirling) So I'd go with something like this. Alan Martin David Smith Darren Barr Mark Docherty Daniel Harvie Josh Todd Joe Thomson Grant Gallagher Sam Stanton Ryan Stevenson Donald McCallum/Robert Thomson If we don't win our next 2 games we'll fail to meet Stevie's target of 10 points a quarter, and we'll almost certainly be sitting at the foot of the table. That's not negativity, it's realism I'm afraid. Now, given we have yet to win back to back games this year does anyone think that looks overly likely?

NM_1919 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Agree but with them having wright and Buchanan out I'm expecting 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Looking forward to this game at one of my favourite venues. Queens have quite a good record at the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (insert latest name as appropriate) Stadium and given our start and relative league positions I would hope we can take the full spoils from this match. Sir Stephen of Fleetwood has been relatively quiet during the last two games so hopefully he can produce the bit of quality only he is capable of. Will Skelton take the chance to freshen up the team, bearing in mind he may be forced to by a couple of injuries, or start with the tried and trusted? I wouldn't be looking for wholesale changes in the starting line-up but we have capable players to bring off the bench during the game if needed. I'm not expecting us to stroll this game, we'll have to approach it in the right frame of mind, but if we are to be serious title contenders then performing in this type of fixture is just as important as doing it against the likes of Hibs, etc. Prediction 3 - 1 to Queens (but not brave enough to actually put money on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's obviously a player in there but he's been pretty anonymous thus far. He's proving the old adage that it's easier for a player to shine in a good side rather than a struggling one. And to be honest none of us knows his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The form that Dobbie's been in, Gregor Buchanan out for us, all points to 3 points for Queens. I fully expect Dobbie to become our new nemesis, just like Russell was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I hope Dobbie remembers the time we took a punt on him when he massively overweight and turned him into a goal machine. It would be massively disrespectful for him to try 100% against the club who saved his career IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
