qpfc Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Massive game and a big opportunity to put serious pressure on Cowdenbeath since they’re up against Cove. Think Cowden are the team to catch in regards to getting a play off position Keep assuming we’ll get a win against Rovers but in all honesty we’ve been dire against them this season so it’ll be a battle to get the win. Think we really need to go for it so I would have Joffrey in for King and go with 2 up top with Moore coming in for the suspended Slater. Would continue with Morrison at the back also as he’s been outstanding since being played in his natural position. Says a lot when Jamieson can’t get in the team currently Edited March 11, 2020 by qpfc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now into the must win category if we want to really challenge for play offs. No matter how we spin it the draws at Brechin and Stenny were costly to our chances. Not an easy place for us but no reason why we should not come out on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The last two games again Albion Rovers have seen them race into a two nil lead. At least in the Hampden game we showed a bit of character and quality to fight back for a draw. The Rovers strikers caused us big problems in both games although there were some horrendous individual performances on our side. Looking at the line up from the last game at Cliftonhill there will only be 3 or 4 in the team this time around so I expect us to be a lot more solid at the back. We absolutely need to start on the front foot against them for once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Rovers have been tough opponents this season. I'd gladly accept a hideous scrambled 1-0 win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draws are no use to us now really. Will any of it matter anyway if none of us are soon unable to watch any games? Unless we can get them live streamed online. Still, imagine a team celebrating winning the play offs in front of none of their supporters. Seems kind of pointless to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to get into the top four before the whole season is abandoned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's abandoned then there will be no play offs for anybody in the top four to play Was talking to an Edinburgh City director today.

We can but hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiders4ever Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have just read that the proposed ban is for gatherings of over 500 people. That would allow most of league 2 games to go on. We could have over 5 metres of space between each fan if we opened the whole of the stadium. More realistically we could limit the crowd to 500. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This could have a real bounce game feel about it. Most people, players included, likely to be wondering if this is it for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Reilly Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 This could have a real bounce game feel about it. Most people, players included, likely to be wondering if this is it for the season. Or for us it could be seen as a cup final in some ways. Who knows what will happen with fixtures and decisions about promotion and relegation in the coming weeks, but if we win on saturday and Cowden drop points then we move back into fourth. If this is to be the last round of fixtures for the season, and somehow playoffs still happen, then we'll be involved.All ifs and buts I realise, as none of us know what the next few weeks or months have in store for football or beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ifs and buts I realise, as none of us know what the next few weeks or months have in store for football or beyond. There's no way they could have playoffs after not completing the fixtures. The season would surely either have to be voided or completed, closed doors/limited attendance? Too many arguments over having different numbers of home/away games. A number of teams with games in hand as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The man with no name Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Interesting week ahead. The club in most danger of being relegated out of the league given a potential lifeline. The fact that the League 1 and 2 representative is from Brechin makes me uneasy. Perhaps my fears are unjustified and the gentleman concerned will declare an interest and remove himself from the decision making process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
