bigmacDFC Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 If, and I’m not sure how likely it is, Hill is fit enough to play, a back four of: Smith Dowie Barr Hill Doesn’t look too awful. Especially as we know the level Smith is capable of playing at, at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Berk Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Let's hope Dougie makes it. I remember he had some injury spells when he was with us but he never let us down on the pitch. He is a Rovers legend after grabbing Falkingham by the throat, well worth a red card and suspension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 IMO even if Dougie makes it we still look honking: Gallacher Smith -- Barr -- Dowie -- Hill Froxylias -- Hutton -- Carswell -- Walsh Russell -- Nade The only alteration I can see there is Calum Gallagher coming in for Nade and maybe switching with Walsh. It just doesn't fill me with any kind of confidence, Hutton and Carswell as a midfield 2 should be against the law. I'd like to see Nade given one last go here - he caused all sorts of problems with that Connah's mob, they won't be used to someone his size throwing himself around, if he can do that for 50-60 minutes we might snatch something. Plus, we'll need to go direct because we don't have anyone who can pass a ball except for Kyle Hutton and even then it's only when he feels like it. Go long, play for free-kicks and hope Froxy scores one. Alternatively, park the team bus and the 2 supporter buses in front of our goal and play for penalties. It's a real fucker that Andy Stirling isn't available. In summary, I'm really optimistic about our chances of progressing to the final this weekend.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I reckon TNS will be used to most teams sitting in against them, I reckon if we do that we'll play right into their hands.Even with a horribly depleted squad I'd like to see us go full pelt at them from the start. If we lose 3-0 then so be it, I'd rather that than watch them pick us apart whilst we defend for our lives yet still concede cheap goals from set pieces and lapses of concentration in our own box.

optimistic Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Nade and Russell is the best idea up front, nade was winning headers at the weekend, chesting it to players, bringing others into play, I’d start him, If tns do indeed tyre, let Stewart, froxy and Walsh run at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have a creeping suspicion that we'll be back to 4-2-3-1 on Saturday with Handling in behind Beany and Froxy/Walsh either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 5 hours ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: Aye, I'm much the same. Getting a taxi doesn't bother me and it will be split between 3 or 4 so it wont cost much. If I get there early enough I'll grab a pint no doubt but I'll be hanging off as long as possible. Out of interest how big is the hospitality and bar area? It seems like there are a hell of a lot of folk taking up the offer. Judging by the Facebook comments etc a large majority appear to be in hospitality. Any 4 bottles of beer = £10 acc to the TNS site. Not too bad, cheaper than our own 'Community Suite' jobby.

Smith was playing left back, Wilson (from Rangers) right back, Nisbet was up front instead of Nade.

The bar is entirely separate and probably seats another 100 at least, never mind the standing room. I'm making a four day trip of it and taking my car. Any idea what the parking's like?

There's a car park outside but it's maybe got room for 40 or 50 cars at a guess. I believe they have overflow parking on a field near the ground subject to weather being decent enough that it's not a mudheap. I don't know what your chances of that in February are though! Beyond that I'm not really sure. It's basically at the end of a country lane (only barely two vehicles wide so certainly no room for parking on it) which itself is a turn off from a main dual carriageway. So there'as no on street parking immediately obvious around it. I was on the bus though so maybe another Queens fan who actually drove could help more. I didn't have to look for parking. There was a rugby club on the left a few hundred yards before the football club. Presumably it has some parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Speaking as a TNS gloryhunter (actually an Aston Villa fan, but follow TNS in Europe and now this competition) ... I love the Scottish Challenge Cup. I know it must be a pain for some of the Scottish clubs, and it's a bit of an embarrassment when the home supporters are regularly outnumbered & outsung by away ones ... but the ties have been loads of fun. It'll be good for Welsh football for the top 2 to be playing some higher calibre teams a bit later in the season. It's been sadly missing since the "English" sides (Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, Newport, Merthyr & Colwyn Bay) were excluded from the Welsh Cup. Not sure if the colt teams add much to the competition, though. Safe journey down, hope it turns out to be a decent game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I havent heard of anyone who likes the inclusion of the colt sides; they clearly devalue the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the inclusion of the Colt sides. Not that bothered whether they are in it or not but certainly much more annoyed about the inclusion of foreign sides than the Colt ones. I have posted so several times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
