Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Despite the wonderful emotion of last-minute equalisers I'd quite like to try the three-nil-up-with-15-minutes-to-go model, just for a change. There's no real danger we'll get relegated now so let's have a right go. After 3 poor performances against Peterhead this season the players will want to sort that out for themselves. Peterhead will have their own agenda of course but with Stenny doomed to be relegated a point today won't be the end of it for them. When the 10 team league set-up began it mas mocked mercilessly but I have to say it keeps a lively interest for most fans up until the last fixture or two. Every team in the league has something to play for this weekend. One way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Regardless of the quality of our squads, the history of Queen's Park FC tells us that we won't make it easy for ourselves. Win tomorrow and we're safe. Anything other than that and we're still watching over the shoulder. The overwhelming majority of the time, 40 points gets it done. We'd be hideously unfortunate to find ourselves in the relegation playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember saying that in 2001 and 2009 so forgive me for taking a slightly different approach. Win tomorrow and there's no danger. Lose and we're only 3 points ahead of 9th. Peterhead are the ones that need to have a right go - I think their aspirations will be to avoid a relegation play off rather than bottom place. This will definitely suit us better. We struggle to score goals at the best of times so hopefully it will be an open game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconded - anyone who thinks we are in no real danger right now is clearly dismissive of our record v Peterhead at Hampden, and the news that Millen and McKernon will be missing tomorrow more than gives me cause (hopefully unjustified!) for concern as to how the league table might look 24 hours from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 The McKernon news is a blow for tomorrow but we have four more games after that and I'm 100% confident in this group of players and Gus that we won't go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueone Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 According to McInally's interview on the PFC website we are "throwing caution to the wind" to win the game. Maybe try playing some strikers then apart from Rory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Stamp Army Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The McKernon news is a blow for tomorrow Not for the moany old p***k behind me at cliftonhill on Tuesday who on more than one occasion called him useless I really loathe some of our 'support' at times and was willing mckernon to score a screamer So Gus will have to shuffle the midfield pack as mcvey looked to have suffered a bad knockDocherty and Liam brown to start?Fancy zanatta for a goal tomorrowHe's due...Thought he started really well on tues night but tailed off after his yellow for ridiculous dive No doubt we'll see some of that from McAllister tomorrow so hope the ref is wise to it...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 I remember saying that in 2001 and 2009 so forgive me for taking a slightly different approach. 2001: we were in 7th or 8th every week from match day 24 and dropping to ninth on the last week. 2009: we were ninth every week from match day 23Neither compare to this season. Different players, different coaches. It's fair to judge the team's chances on goals or wins, or lack of, but not the failings of players and coaches long gone. Have a bit more faith. Seconded - anyone who thinks we are in no real danger right now is clearly dismissive of our record v Peterhead at Hampden, and the news that Millen and McKernon will be missing tomorrow more than gives me cause (hopefully unjustified!) for concern as to how the league table might look 24 hours from now We're not in danger right now and tomorrow's table is just another Saturday. We've still got four more games, all winnable based on this season's performances.Have a bit more faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week. We will brush aside East Fife & Stenhousemuir with consummate ease and Livi & Alloa will be too busy celebrating the title/play offs that they too will be disposed of easily. Wait a minute, April Fool's day was last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthespider Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thought Peterhead were poor today Queens bossed the whole game . Some QP fans thought ref was poor I thought he was ok .One fan very vocal about ref embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 One fan very vocal about ref embarrassing. The guy spends the whole game every week ranting. Last week at Methil he started roaring at the groundsmen for forking the touchline at half-time. [emoji23][emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
