Skyline Drifter Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 20 minutes ago, Fae_the_'briggs said: Dobbie is usually free-kick taker from chances around that area so no reason he shouldn't carry on now Harkins is here. It was a bad effort V Motherwell but I'm sure Harkins has skied a few in his time also. No bad thing we have two players confident at free-kicks. To be honest, I've said for long enough we should let Connor Murray take a few if he's on the pitch. He used to stick them in the top corner for the 20's with regularity. I doubt anyone's going to get them off Dobbie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited to correct the autocorrect of said poster's name. Despite it being amusing that someone has thought to set that up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I've said elsewhere that this would not have been my first choice of opening game, especially given that Queens already seem to have no trouble scoring (except at Motherwell, although they did better than we have on any of our last several visits). Not optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Think we'll get a couple of doings in the first quarter but if our injuries clear up and the squad stays reasonably healthy we'll recover before we're cut adrift from the playoffs altogether.

madton Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Waddell playing today was a bonus, as was Gaston. With Millar, Telfer and Thomson on the bench, leaves only Johnstone and Buchanan as officially injured from the first team so we should be in much better shape than we thought a few days ago. None of them got on today right enough so hard to tell how fit they actually are. We should go into next week with confidence after 7 goals scored and 0 conceded in our last two games, albeit against lower league opposition. Can't wait for next week. Hopefully a decent crowd and a sound pumping for Doyle, Harkins and co! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm not sure what to expect really. We obviously have the personell to score goals but I think defensively we are still a bit suspect. Morton are also a bit of an unknown quantity following a bit of player movement over the summer and a new Manager. Hoping for a win of course but will be happy enough with a draw to ease into the season. Even after pre-season friendlies and BetFred groups, managers are still maybe a bit unsure of best line-up. Unlike Morton I don't think we have any injury problems ahead of the game. (Apart from Brownlie of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 How many players from last seasons Queens side are likely to start this time around? For us, Iredale and Tidser are certs to start, Gaston hopefully but he will be fighting it out with Scully. Gats has only 1 start under his belt because of injury whereas Scully has played every other friendly/cup game so will be interesting to see who McKinnon goes for. Kilday, McHugh and Oliver are possibles but depends on fitness of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Got a good feeling about Sat, I recon we'll pick up 3 points here, it'll be a tight close affair tho, that I have no doubts! 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by our games to date, our most likely lineup will be: Martin Mercer Semple Fordyce Marshall Stirling Harkins Jacobs Todd Dykes Dobbie Of that team only Semple and Harkins are new signings. There is a chance Naysmith will play Doyle instead of Stirling, although personally I would play him instead of Mercer. That would take our number of new signings to three.

19QOS19 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We don't play with wingers Would rather Doyle started at RB in place of Mercer but doubt it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that changes starting on Saturday. We've managed to put together a squad where RB is the only position where we have options - Naysmith's rule of minimalism. Slightly tongue-in-cheek if you factor in the youngsters but we desperately need to bring in another central midfielder and striker (on loan?) to fill out the squad.

SueSue Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Semple has shown some some real strength and character since arriving. No complaints from me about his performances or his willingness to battle it out. Excellent against Hearts, Clyde and Edinburgh and a proper battle at Motherwell. Fordyce and mercer look a weak link on the right side for me. doyle to right back strengthens the defence in one swoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he did seem to lose the ball a lot but we've had a lot worse in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
