NM_1919 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 For today or in the league campaign as well?Hoping Todd can play today as he really needs more minutes heading into league campaign in a couple weeks. Would like to be using more like our starting 11 as well, but understand how managers like to mix and match. Giving it was worth a decent amount of cash, hopefully a couple more signings, I’m hoping he puts out as strong an 11 as possible. For me :- Martin Doyle Fordyce Semple MarshallStirling Jacobs Harkins Todd Dykes Dobbie Maybe harsh on Mercer but I watched 90 minutes of the Stranraer game and he was causing more problems than most. Hopefully get job done early, and get likes of Mercer, Murray/Bell or Tremble run outs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant really argue with that hopefully we are a few goals clear again to give then young lads a run out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Todd in for Bell the only change. I assume Doyle will be playing CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Gan on The Cleyholers! Doing us a favour today. I suppose it doesn't change much other than a draw will see us win the group. Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_Blue1919 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Theoretically we should be qualified, providing Motherwell don’t hammer us. Say we lose by 2 goals, I can’t see 4 other teams finishing on 9+ points with a +7 goal difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 If you top group are you seeded for the next round? Motivation right there. This cup is opening up so its testament to the players and manager that we have played so well. Getting through could help us with more signings aswell so its been a great start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessieField Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I think only 4 of the section winners are seeded? The 4 teams coming in from Europe matches get preference I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) First look at Queens this season and hard to draw many conclusions from a game that resembled a training session for most of its duration, second half especially. Felt we started quite slowly, but burst into life midway though the first half with a flurry of goals. Dykes took the first really well, lobbing the keeper nicely, and Dobbie was never going to miss when put though for the second. Martin did well with a quick kick out to set up the second. Both simple route one goals against a shaky Edinburgh City defence. The next two goals were well worked and involved some nice quick interplay. Very impressed with Harkins, we've not had a player of this quality in the middle of the park since Tosh. Semple looks like a class act in central defence, strong and competitive, but he’ll have few easier afternoons than this one. Dobbie is Dobbie - 2 goals and should really have been 3 as the ref gave Antell the benefit of the doubt at the end when Dobbie stole it off him, without the goalie ever really looking he had it under control. Dykes looked a handful, and should have had another from a late header, with Antell making a decent stop. Martin looked assured. Impressed with his distribution. Todd did ok too. Not overly impressed with Queens subs Murray and Bell - we looked weaker when they came on - but to be fair the game had petered out by then.

The top 4 first teams are seeded with Hibs, Aberdeen,Celtic and Rangers. The other plus the 4 best 2nd place teams are unseeded. Good chance with other GD we could be seeded if we win the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Very sad to hear the news about Allan Ball. A true club legend and a really nice guy into the bargain. Heard he wasn't well a few weeks back (as I'm sure others did). Ironically it was when he was being discussed on this forum. Condolences to his family. RIP. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie S Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 R.I.P. Alan. Fantastic keeper and a true Queens legend. Still have vivid memories of him playing on at Ayr in the Scottish Cup with a broken ankle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
