Northfield 53 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 A difficult 1st home game Dunfermline were impressive on Friday night look to have a very good squad this season . Our squad is not complete yet but it is difficult to get players in with our budget we will be lucky to get a crowd of 2000 on Sat Dunfermline had over 5000 on Friday night . Huge miss for us is Dobbie being out he is our main goal threat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Alan ‘No Plan B’ Johnston won’t have a clue how to deal with us. Couple early goals and we should win handsomely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee did next to nothing and relied on a terrible penalty decision to get the draw. But bottled it, aye. The only thing that worries me for this game is the pitch. Johnston doesn’t have a clue how to change things, where as McPake obviously does and his side managed to get a point from it, under dubious circumstances right enough. Good thing Dobbie is out all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hope AJ is still using his trusted 442 against anyone. We need to win games like this if we want to push for the playoffs especially if Dobbie is out now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough he changed things to 4-3-3 when we were losing at 3-1 Morton and we brought it back to 3-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon that rotten Dundee side are going to finish a above QoTS tbh. If we go two goals up then AJ hasn't got it in him to change it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect so. Doesn't change anything I've said though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 There seem to be a few tetchy Dunfermline fans in here, are they taking over the mantle from Falkirk fans as our new rivals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 QoS need to press Dunfermline from the start. We were bloody awful in the first half on Friday and dodged a bullet going in just 1 goal behind. In the second half we got more play through our midfield and started to press Dunfermline. It was remarkable how quickly they stopped being an attacking force like the first half. Their tempo just disappeared. I cant say we rang them ragged but we pretty much dominated the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We should have won on Friday night, no doubt about it. We certainly didn't "bottle it" though. I think folk are using that term so often now, they've forgotten what it means. If Queens don't have Dobbie available then we should be looking for 3 points on Saturday. A point wouldn't be a disaster but I'd like to see us build some early momentum, especially with a much harder game up after this against our perennial bogey side, Dundee United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t get players in this week. I’ll take a point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I didn't think Dunfermline bottled it. They were 2-0 but were rocked back by a dubious penalty right on HT which must have given Dundee a huge and unexpected boost. Dundee's change of personnel and system changed the game and seemed to coincide with Dunfermline running out of energy. They actually showed a bit of bottle to get the draw given they were under significant pressure near the end of the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t get players in this week. I’ll take a point Dunfermline did really well first half and they looked great but we have to take some account of Dundee being absolutely awful and that their set up contributed hugely to that. As stated in another thread for all the praise McPake got for changing things at HT he should have made the changes much earlier and caught a huge break to be only 2-1 down when it could easily have been 3 or even 4-0. All credit to Dunfermline for an excellent first half display though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We’ve been starting games really brightly, with the Edinburgh City game being the only competitive game so far this season where we have failed to score within the first 20 minutes (or at all). Combine that with AJ’s historical inability to turn games around, we should be looking for 3 pints. I wonder if the players are just needing to continue building their fitness in lasting closer to the full 90 minutes, or if Crawford is hoping to be in a comfortable enough position in some games to relax for the last 20, which is admittedly a risky approach. I’ll say 2-0 Pars, Nisbet and Beadling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Get Turner back in for this one in place of McCann. Confident we can grab a narrow win but I can't it being easy, games in Dumfries always seem to be shitfests 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, Turner is going to be one of our key men this season but that's harsh on McCann. I'd go with the same starting 11 then have Turner ready to come in and possibly change a game if needed. I think we'll win this one. From reading/listening to various season previews it would seem Arbroath are currently weaker than they were last season and Queens failed to beat them. We really should have got all three points against a team who've just came down from the Premiership. With Dobbie missing we really should have enough to get the job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's harsh but I'd have Turner in the team every time he's available, unless McCann has scored a shit load of goals or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
