  Kane hasn't yet had the impact that you would hope to get from a loanee from a PremierLeague team.  I don't think he went off injured last week,  he just wasn't doing very well. 

He did go off injured with a calf muscle injury. Manager said so in his post match interview.

Kane has is a worker but looks a long way off Premier quality. This loan deal is really about proving if he is good enough for Championship football. He certainly needs to add goals and composure to his game and as we all know these are attributes that are difficult to manufacture.

Suspect Saints will be easy enough to deal with any club shows interest in Jan window.

Kerr has been quite impressive.  He was missing last week as he was away with the Scotland U21's,  but don't think he was used. If he is back we may see Fordyce move to right back at the expense of Rooney.  Rooney probably offers more of an attacking threat but maybe a bit raw defensively. Mercer is very much a bench jockey this season with Fordyce and Rooney ahead of him for right back duty.  He has only made a couple of sub appearances.  Kane hasn't yet had the impact that you would hope to get from a loanee from a PremierLeague team.  I don't think he went off injured last week,  he just wasn't doing very well.  We certainly looked a bit more threatening up front when he was replaced. Lyle's absence seems to be a bit of a mystery,  although I haven't checked the official site for news of any injury.  Hopefully he is back in the squad for this game. 

 

 

 

 

 

I got the Kane injured comment from the SPFL website on their match tab thing so that means you are probably right lol. 

Final preview of today's game is with Queens Assistant Dougie Anderson.

If we are to deliver a top 4 finish we have to start beating our main rivals especially at home. Not sure that this group of players have that desire and will to win that can consistently carry the day in these tight marginal affairs. Under GN we have repeatedly found a way to come out with less than our play has deserved in the majority of these games and the same trend has sadly continued this season.

GN and his squad need to become a lot tougher mentally and find a way to eke out results when they have not played well.

Can't remember many games in last couple of seasons where we have stolen anything from anybody but as for the reverse scenario the scrapbook is bulging full of cuttings!!

You could say exactly the same thing about us. Very similar. We can come out and play great football and if we score first and early we kick on. If we aren't playing well we very rarely make big changes. Also the mental thing we were 2-0 up against Morton and flung it away by being careless when we should've had the nerve to settle down.

Im guessing both sides will want to score first today and it will make a difference to who comes out on top.

....cue 4 goal comeback 

:lol:

Poor first half, Queens the better team but Murdoch has only had one save to make and even then it looked like it was heading over anyway. The officials have been laughably bad - Finnie punishes our strikers for jumping for high balls and also for not attempting to win high balls which makes it hard to do anything, but the Main Stand linesman takes the biscuit for missing two of the widest margin offside you're ever likely to see. I'm not exaggerating - they were both literally 3 or 4 yards offside! Rankin is pulling the strings for Queens and our midfield is all too often posted missing with Splaine anonymous yet again. The only positive for us is Smith (playing on the left today) who has the right back on toast, with a yellow card given for a cynical tug back when he was totally beaten. It has the feel of two teams lacking in confidence with it likely coming down to a moment of genius from McFadden/Dobbie, a dreadful decision from the officials or another Clark fluke in the last minute.

Wasn't there so I'm going by stats. Given this Dunfermline side have been rattling in goals and we have an injured GK. 2 shots on target is either shocking from their point of view or we've been solid defensively. Which one was it today?
