Slipmat Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 This could be a real war of attrition. A Dunfermline side who can't buy a goal but seem to have tightened up at the back against a Queens team who seem scared to attack the opposition until inevitably going a goal behind. If AJ can be persuaded to abandon the tactic of setting up the midfield to protect the backline first and foremost and get midfielders to give more support to the forwards we may have a chance of halting our dismal home form. I would also help matters if we didn't change formation 3-4 times per match and had players playing in their best positions. All players being fit I'd like to see us start with Brynn (unfortunately) Gibson / Nditi / McKay / Debayo Cochrane / McGrory / Todd* or Roy* Paton Ruben / Connelly * unsure about the fitness of either at the moment. If both are out I'd have East left midfield. I've a horrible feeling Fitzpatrick will be shoehorned into the starting XI somehow. 0-0 or 5-4... you decide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Not much interest in this one yet - but you can't blame the Pars due to the small matter of a replayed Fife derby up first on Wednesday night! I don't know what would be the best outcome on Wednesday for our game - Raith to hammer the Pars, Kircaldy's wifi to go kaput again, or the Pars to break their winless streak so that particular monkey is off their back before they head down to Palmy on Saturday. God knows, if the Pars are still winless on Saturday (and with our appalling home record) we're just the beneficient mob to soothe their woes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Trust me, there won’t be much interest in this one even after the Rovers match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERREGLES1919 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Queens run of their next 4 league games are crucial. Really need to bounce back to eliminate our poor home form by winning over the Pars at Palmerston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 As others have said previously there is no better place for struggling opponents to visit on the lookout for vital points. That old Managers cliche...........” it’s a really tough place to go” certainly doesn’t apply to Palmerston as the records show.In fact Grant should be saying ..........”if we can’t win there I will “walk” voluntarily with no severance package”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Palmerston is normally a good away day, however recently every time we've played there it seems to have been absolutely woeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that to continue in this fixture. Sent from my moto g( power lite using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, in his latest interview he’s managed to compare a footballer playing in a derby to a woman being pregnant.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Dunfermline are utter mince.Absolute stick on away win. QotS are an absolute gang as well tbf m9. Play like we did the 2nd half tonight then we could win. Not holding my breath though. Another draw IMO (in my opinion) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
