Monkey Tennis Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 This is it then. We've been haunted by the danger of relegation for a couple of months now, but it didn't seem absolutely real (to me at least) until the last few weeks. All those pitiful defeats didn't spell relegation by themselves, but today, even a draw would mean just that. Can we deliver when staring down the barrel like this? I have my doubts, but let's see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Best of luck today to the lads and all those travelling. Here's hoping we can press our advantage home, and give ourselves a chance in the final... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Team in Angus Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 My heart says Mo but head says QOS, but the very best of luck to the Mo you deserve this after the season you have had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidofthesouth Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 What I saw in the first game was a very committed, and frequently quite dirty, Montrose team who are very much up for this game. They get in your face when you have possession and they use the ball well when they win it back. They have 2 very strong central defenders who don't mess about and an older guy up front who battles hard and holds the ball up well for them. Queens almost looked a bit intimidated by them at times. We probably have the better players, but we need to match them physically and be as committed to earn the right to play. With the current squad it will be a tough task for AJ to pick the right 11 players who are up for the fight but, with a bit of inspiration from Dobbie we can win it. Hoping for a strong ref to clamp down early if Montrose are overly physical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them the 'Angus Azzuri' earlier in the season because they know how to kill a break with a tactical foul, but I haven't thought that they were dirty or overly physical at any point during the five games we've played them. When they get the ball down and play it then they're probably the best footballing side we've played. It's just unfortunate from their point of view that they really lack a quality forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they did a few tactical fouls to stop us breaking - cynical, but obviously well drilled by their manager in that side of the game. They also love a tackle. Just hope our lot stand up to it a bit better today than they did in the first game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Fully expecting under 1,000 at the game today, probably around 750. The players have only themselves to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that, if Montrose had a Bobby Linn/Baird/Nisbet type up front League 1 might have been very interesting at the top end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I notice Russell McLean coming on as a sub for Montrose on Tues if he has recovered from injury could give the Mo something different 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaspianChris Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Good luck to Montrose this afternoon, hope they can see the job out and reach the playoff final. To get within 2 games of the Championship this season would be an incredible turn around of fortunes for Montrose given they came dangerously close to being relegated to the Highland League a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
