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. If you press us early coley, dow and nisbet will be delighted, they would absolutely thrive of the space and 1 on 1 chances created. Our tempo went cos we were knackered, we put so much energy into matches early on we suffer in the 2nd half. As said it seems to be set up to try get a few early goals and hold on from there. I'd be bringing turner in for (p)paton, with dobbie out an ageing (m)paton who's just had a terrible season looks the biggest threat. I don't see the benefit of having a sitting midfielder there, lets have a go at this mob. Edited August 5, 2019 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as you under-rate Paton, I'd be perfectly happy for Dunfermline to concentrate their efforts on stopping him and ignoring certain 'other' players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Only change I'd make is bringing Turner in for McCann. Turner seems to play at a consistently high level for the full 90, whereas McCann peters out. Thought McCann played well against Dundee, btw, but Turner should be one of the first names on the team sheet. 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. Superb is over stating it a bit, great potential he may have I don't remember him influencing the game that much in the first, I reckon Ryan would've done better tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair. However his energy was really good and he looked composed on the ball, he certainly caused Dundee problems. Bit of a kick in the stones for the laddie if he's out the team already but I suppose he only started because Turner was suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past seasons you’ve been pretty much a 1 man team and he’s unavailable, even the guys that could occasionally put in a decent performance(Todd, aird, stirling, dykes) have ate away, so what are you left that’s better than Paton? Gary fucking Oliver? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best put 2 or 3 defenders on him just to keep us quiet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 McCann was good on Fri but Nisbet, Dow and Coley were all better. Turner should and I'm sure will come back in for this one. Other than that I'd go same again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifes Elite Force Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Hopefully get the win here. I am hoping we can wrap up the league as early as possible to concentrate on the league and Scottish cups. We should really be coasting past clubs the size of Queens Edited August 5, 2019 by Fifes Elite Force 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary fucking Oliver? If you are completely sure about the opposition you're facing it's best to not say anything otherwise you come across looking like an ignorant OF fan. Not particularly. As far as I can remember Conor Murray has played 1 game against us? Hamilton hasn't meanwhile Oliver and Paton have but they have been pretty ineffective. You can look at previous stats to get a feel for a player and if you do that Murray and Hamilton don't show up great. That attacking line up outwith Dobbie does look poor, if we've got aspirations to be in the playoffs we need to be looking at this as a great opportunity to take on a team missing a key player. BTW on Flash scores it has Mike Williamson being in your squad, is that a thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
