timlichtie Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think New Saints will be quite a test. Full time and 14 wins on the bounce according to Dick. Hammy and Steele in the centre? Stewart and Goldy at full backs, I guess. Not ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise they were full time i just assumed they were part time, gonna be tougher than i thought then perhaps. Only really paid any attention to their last game which was versus East Fife who they struggled to beat so not sure if they just had a poor game or that is the level they are at which i doubt if they are full time. Anyway, we need to get a win on the board to get a bit of confidence back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think TNS are very much favourites for this tie. They win the Welsh league pretty much every year and play in Europe each season because of this. They're playing at home, are full-time and are on a huge unbeaten run so their confidence will be high. Obviously a win would be nice but personally I would rather concentrate on getting our league season back on track, not that there’s a choice of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a tough match - but a win is required to boost confidence and also a potential semi - final earner against United ( if they win their match). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 We should be favourites. The welsh league standard is very poor from what Iv seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greatly popular within their own league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It’s all very well criticising the Welsh League but doesn’t anyone remember Connah’s Quay knocking Premiership Kilmarnock out of Europe only 4 years ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Going by previous seasons results in this competition, it seems to me that this will be a tight game against TNS. Anyone have an idea how many might be travelling down for this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 The match on Saturday is a potential banana skin - The New Saints will be ready and well up for this game - they will treat this match as a cup final with a point to prove..............their manager has also attended our recent games against United and Airdrie, so they will be ready. However, we really need to win this match, get the confidence back in the team, book our seat in the semi final and hit a good run of form. Going to be a tough match - but one we need to win - if the player's hit their form we should win this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets on sale on The Spartans website £16 for adults £11 for others. Didn't see anything for away supporters but probably no segregation i'm thinking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
