January has the potential of a free fall month on the tables if we don’t play well! That’s why the next two games might be critical for any thoughts of a (promotion) playoff push. A contender would generally expect at least 8 points from any four games, or 10 from five, and I have a hard time seeing more than 6, and truly fear we might get but 2 or 3. Alloa’s recent form is similar to ours, with a lack of a cutting attack, so this game might be a fascinating positional battle in the middle and come down to the form of the back lines...and if KMac is out, that hurts us there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This game could well become farcical given the weather conditions. We tend not to do well in games like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Will be interesting to see what we do if Kieran MacDonald is unavailable given his now deleted tweet. If true, I obviously hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. From a footballing sense, I thought the Ayr game was the first of him really looking like his old self and getting his sharpness back after a bit of stop start season so far. The obvious choice, and the one I think McGlynn will go with, is Mendy in beside Bene and Musonda to left back. However, and I acknowledge I am in the minority here, I don’t see enough improvement in Mendy to be comfortable with him starting at this level. I still think he is an accident waiting to happen. The next 2 games will be tough enough but the thought of him lining up against the Pars really gives me the fear. My preference would be to keep Musonda and Bene together as they are showing signs of building a promising partnership. Move Armstrong back to left back and then bring Spencer in with Tait pushed wide as he has played a few times this season. However, that would seriously blunt our attacking threat as Armstrong has had a great start to the season and is our biggest goal threat of the 3 behind the striker. Will be interesting to see how we line up. If it is Mendy, as I expect, I really hope he has a great game and makes me look very stupid. He seems like a really nice guy and would love him to be a success but I just don’t see it at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I hope I'm just being pessimistic, but it could easily be the case that we're missing multiple players today. Just a case of waiting for the starting line-up and seeing what the state of play is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This weather will make the game farce. I can see players having to hold the ball on free kicks, corners and bye kicks. The referee should take a good look at the overhead conditions and not just the pitch prior to starting this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This. We are currently 4th and potentially a win away from 2nd,with a game in hand. Tough games, but nothing to fear at all. Anyone who stated that last week's results suited us should really look again. I for one want Alloa, arbroath and QOS beaten every week and any match between them ending in a draw. I still not convinced this season will finish and we don't want to be on the wrong side of a Partick type scenario like last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Liam Buchanan scores today, I'm going to be very perplexed. Whilst not as outrageous as Wullie Gibson, he really shouldn't have any place in the Championship in 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 High swirling winds and Fernandy Mendy's positioning. This could be a right laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Probably better putting Mendy upfront with Duku and fire high balls into the box could be interesting. That's still a very strong lineup as long as they give 100% we hopefully should be ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanStarko Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Hope Alloa get money from KFC. Had the stream on for five minutes and already near tempted to order a KFC Delivery for half time.
