Hampden Diehard Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It'll be interesting to see the starting line-up for this game. All of the loan players in? Presumably McGeever is available; him and Wharton at the back? The bearded one has been terrific since his recall and it would be a bit of a shame if he were to be dropped in the potential shuffle. Still, you get loan players on the basis that there's an understanding to play them regularly. We didn't play very well last week, but sneaked a draw and very nearly stole a win. Happy to steal a win on Saturday; we're doing well, but the bottom of the division ain't that far away now, what with the teams down there picking up regular wins.

Bring Your Own Socks Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Fourth top scorers in the league but the worst defence, by a mile. But 7 from 9 in the last three games suggests something's clicked at last for Stenie. Hopefully they're reliant on David Marsh who misses this game. Can't figure out the best strike combination for us but surely we'll start banging a few in soon. McGeever back will help and Wharton has been great for a month now. If Gibby's fit I'd be inclined to give Cummins a rest. If Fotheringham is leaving Gus might be tempted to leave him out but the guy's been terrific for us and deserves a farewell from the fans. Maybe another great goal for the road Gregor? Need to be at it from the whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver1 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I actually was at the QP game at the weekend. No doubt that East Fife were the much better team and QP were a little fortunate to get away with a point. Was encouraged with how much joy the wide players got for East Fife. Hopefully Cook and Willis will have as much fun. There is no doubt this is our biggest attacking threat. We go into this with a degree of confidence. We will miss Marsh.

Francesc Fabregas Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Don't see why Stenhousemuir can't win this on Saturday. We weren't very good against Queen's Park in our last two matches against them at Ochilview but we're playing well enough at the moment and we'll surely give them a lot more to think about than we did at the start of the year. David Marsh will be a loss, sure, but we can move Ross Meechan into centre-back and bring Jamie McCormack into the starting XI. At worst, I think we'll draw this.

Francesc Fabregas Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Also, fair play to Gregor Fothertingham - I thought he was absolutely junk at Stenhousemuir, and if he walked up to me and pushed me over I still wouldn't recognise him, but he appears to be doing very well under Gus MacPherson at Queen's Park.

I imagine Mitchell will drop out and Millen will go back to his usual position on the right with McGeever in the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 We have both Marsh and Miller suspended. Miller's suspension causes some problems. Will be interesting to see if Carlos or Stirling plays in his position. As long as the imposter Gilhaney is not brought back in I will be happy.

beaver1 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 That is bad news about Miller. His partnership with wee Vincent has been one of the keys to our resurgence. We dont have an obvious replacement but I would imagine Stephen Stirling will fill in. My confidence levels are waning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Given the state of refereeing this season I think we could smuggle on an extra striker and nobody would notice. We've seen at free kicks that ref's can only count up to 8 and nobody in Stenhousemuir can count without using their fingers so I think it's well worth a punt. No more mister nice guy Gus.

Francesc Fabregas Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Fair play to Queen's Park, they were the better team over the 90 minutes and they deserved their win. They were hard, niggly and dogged and they did what they needed to do, scoring two very well-taken goals along the way. Other than Colin McMenamin's header in the opening 10 minutes (which forced Wullie Muir into a world-class save), Stenhousemuir offered very little. They saw a fair bit of the ball, especially after Ross Millen's dismissal, but they just couldn't do anything with it. Too many of the team's important attacking players - Alan Cook, Oliver Shaw, Willis Furtado, McMenamin - didn't play to the expected standard and we couldn't really force their opponents. Bryan Wharton and Ryan McGeever stood firm. I think we missed Kieran Millar in the middle of the park, as Stephen Stirling looked a little hesitant at times. Shouts to Vinnie Berry, though, he had a pretty good game and looked to drive the team forward whenever he was on the ball. He's had a pretty good season, all things considered, and I reckon he's been out best player over the last seven months. A real opportunity missed and Stenhousemuir return to the foot of the table. We could have brought Queen's Park right into the relegation scrap but just couldn't do enough. Perhaps most disappointing of all was that Anton Brady scored the decisive goal - the little pissant mouthpiece had annoyed me all afternoon with his eagerness to get involved in the silliest of incidents - but he finished well, so fair play to him.

Moonglum25 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 When you allow the opposition to drive at you into the box without tackling then you are going to get punished and that is what happened. We really missed Miller and also failed to put them under pressure. There were certain things going on that the referee should have dealt with as well but if he lets it go then people will play on it. Better team won in the end. Anton Brady dispicable little shit.

qpfc Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Massive result which give us a bit of breathing space from the bottom 2. Thought we thouraghly deserved the win with a solid, hardworking performance. The return of Mcgeever and the quality that Zanatta has in his locker were huge factors in the win, although special mention to Anton Brady who once again put in another fantastic performance. One of the first names on the team sheet for me. Fantastic run by Mitchell for the 2nd goal and a quality finish by Zanatta for the 1st. More of the same next week please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good win, and a deserved one. Zanatta again makes a difference. Brady excellent, woods and Geev superb. Another great display right through the team.life is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkwasp Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Was at this game today as a neutral, thought qp absolutely bossed this and stenny didnt show up, very poor going forward offered very little, special mention to the no4 for qp i've loved watching him in our first 2 games and today was no difference..big zanatta up top aswell looks like a good prospect.Sorry but i'm glad big millen is out i think he is a great player. Makes for a good game next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanQP Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sadly missed the first twenty minutes of the game due to some hungover friends/forgetting my wallet but what I did see was great. Stenny only got into the game after the red card. Zanatta is looking better with every game, will turn out to be a great player for Hearts. Orsi also looked decent when he came on, holding the ball up well.Great play by Mitchell for the second to secure the win. Also, we are clearly a better team with McGeever in the team, surprised no one has looked at him yet. Kerr was hilarious in his "look at me, I'm an angry man" routine that he perfected throughout the game. Also, DC just screaming fuck off to his defenders for most of the second half was also a delight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
