Northfield 53 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Another huge game for both clubs . Queens could really do with a win it will be another tight game just like the Falkirk game . Hopefully have a full squad for the game would drop McGrath get Aird out wide get Dykes back up top with Dobbie . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madton Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 1 win in 9 takes on 1 win in 10, sure to be a classic! Likely be another draw which is probably a slightly better result for us. If we take at least 4 points from Queens(A) and Alloa( H) on Tues, then hopefully that is enough. Can't see us taking many points from our last 4 games!

Why would we do something as stupid as playing our best available team in their strongest positions? Isn't the idea to put square pegs in round holes, start the game slowly, change to a more sensible formation, and then praise the players for finishing strongly after a slow start? It was seriously frustrating watching us very visibly hampering ourselves in the first half last night with that ridiculous formation. I fear he will stick with it though as it got us a result. The reality is though, we stole a point against a rank rotten Falkirk team that were there for the taking. A better team would have put the game beyond us in the first half, like many have this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny18 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Very confused by that formation last night. McGrath looked well out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume he's trying him out as a replacement for Dykes for next season. Which is all very well, but can we at least wait until we are safe from relegation before we start fannying about with experimental formations. The fact we only have Dykes for a handful of games means we should be getting us much out of him as we can before he departs. He was absolutely wasted for an hour last night. The exact same can be said for Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Another game where you’d think a draw would be an okay result in isolation, but we’re too late in the season to take games in isolation. We need to win a game at some point and this is one of our least unlikely opportunities for it. The same was true of Partick and we got thumped, taking a hammering is always on the cards with this team under this manager, but if we’re planning on a shitfesting a 1-0 in any of our remaining games then doing it while four teams are still below us would be nice.

QoS_Blue1919 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 With GN’s post match comments regarding the fitness of Todd and McGrath, I’d assume they’ll both drop out for Wilson and Aird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We were decent the last time out against Queens (they were very bad) but we didn’t really look in any danger of losing that game. I’d settle for a draw but 4 points from this and Alloa on Tuesday is an absolute must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Picking our best players in their favoured positions and setting them on a positive course seems blatantly obvious but seldom happens. If it were to happen with the slight cushion that we have coupled with the best goal difference I would be reasonably confident that we could do enough to avoid the bottom two. Morton invariably do very well at our place so under no illusions about the challenge.By continually over thinking the opposition we turn every game into a real slog - it is not to say that you can’t grind out some results with this approach but over the piece it patently hasn’t worked and surely better to take control of our own destiny going all out for game changing wins.

I still wouldn't fancy our chances against a fringe DU team out to impress to be involved in the playoffs( and also looking to earn contracts themselves) if that's how it plays out.... I hope you're right and they play their under 15s to give us half a chance but hopefully we are safe by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams will each be there training at some point though so the tunnel between the east stand dressing rooms and the ice bowl might be up.

jagfox Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Surely a draw would suit both clubs at the moment? I’ll stick that on my coupon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if neither of us slip up in the further two games we each have against the other sides in the relegation battle. It wouldn’t be a terrible result for either side, but if we’re going into the Falkirk game still needing to win it’ll be horrible, which is highly likely if we fail to win today or against Alloa, and I’m sure QoS will want to avoid going into the game against yourselves on the last day with anything at stake. While a draw wouldn’t be a disaster for either team, it’ll leave us both right in it whereas a win would be a massive step to survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw would not be disastrous for either of us, but that's a long way from saying it would suit us both. The sides in trouble are only going to escape it with some wins.
