Otis Blue Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Given this season's stellar form and recent season's dismal offerings between the two at Palmy, both sets of fans are understandably utterly despondent about their prospects here ........ so its bound to be either: 6-0 Queens (Cameron hat trick x 2) or 3-3 (Cameron hat trick & Pybus hat trick) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) If pybus doesn't play it means playing dorrans with either a winger or a striker. Cole and Dorrans as a midfield 2 is also an option, not a good option, but one that grantball might come up with. As an example, when pybus was subbed off midweek this was our midfeild Thomas dow Dorrans, kennady. 3 wingers and Dorrans who is best when you have others around to do the defensive work/running.

Cardle is Magic Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Pybus, as promised and predicted, is a total empty shirt. Until his shot in the first half I had no idea he was even playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it was an attempted pass? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Pybus had a good game v Hamilton but we need much better in there. Our CM options a pretty poor. Wilson's issue sounds worrying. He's not injured but has good days a bad days with pain, they just have to manage the pain. Sounds like plantar fasciitis, which I heard previously was Lewis Martin's problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because he whizzes around a lot you don't tend to look too much in to what he's doing as he gives the illusion he's busy. He's gutter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous energy, lacking focus perhaps but keeps the opposition occupied and when Queens had their decent third last season it was when Pybus was pushed further forward to support Shields. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Think it's a bit exaggerated how bad he's meant to be. He's won tackles and been OK on the ball and coming forward last few games for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid you're remembering our decent spell all wrong as well. I assume you're referring to the spell of 5 games where we took 13 points? If so, funnily enough that spell took place when Pybus was out injured. It's almost as if having a semi-competent footballer in the middle of the park rather than a jogger made a difference. He was pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selective facts at work a bit here. He referred to our 'decent third' not a 5 game period that suits your argument. Our good run went from Raith in late December to Hearts away in late March. Pybus did play 4 or 5 of those games at the start of that run pushed up in support of Shields, starting with the 3-2 win over Ayr at New Year and ending when he tore his hamstring early in the Friday night home draw with Hearts. Its probably fair to say Pybus flattered to deceive a bit. His use of the ball wasnt brilliant and he wasnt a great tackler. It was based round energy. He was a lot like Stevie Bowey actually and most fans think he's a legend! Bowey did provide a better goal threat but otherwise...... He certainly isnt 'gutter' though.

As ever with these there's a balance in the middle. Pybus absolutely flattered to deceive as you say. The notion (not from you) that his advanced role was a big factor in our improved form last season is a stretch. There's been many a worse player at QOS. It doesn't sound like many Pars fans are at odds with the assessment many of us gave when he signed for them. Edit to add I actually thought he did OK in the more advanced role but it's also fair to say we managed to continue some decent form when he was unavailable.

It's nothing to do with suiting my argument. Our best spell in that season was the 5 games Pybus was out. You can dress it up any way you like but the fact is we never had an unbeaten spell as successful that season as when he was injured. It may well have been coincidence and I'm not intentionally using it as a rod to beat him with but I do think it's a far bigger stretch to say he played a massive part in our most successful spell. I can appreciate the Bowey reference and Bowey certainly wasn't a gifted footballer either but if I remember correctly he certainly got stuck in with the tackles. I don't mind a player who can't pass well if they at least make up for it by 'getting stuck in' - see Jacobs. Running around a lot doesn't make for a good footballer IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowey who I loved as a player, and despite the Bowey's going to get you stuff, couldn't tackle a fish supper. He was adept at stealing possession nonetheless.

Stellaboz Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Pybus is league one standard, that's abundantly clear so far. Not his fault but it's clear as crystal. Another draw here, another week of accepting below standard stuff from our board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
