CoveRangers1922 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Two teams in contrasting form and confidence. Last season's L1 winners look completely unrecognisable as it stands. A manager who doesn't know his arse from his elbow, terrible recruitment, poor mis-management of Rory and Stuart McKenzie and is employing the tactic of long balls to solely striker Mitch (who hobbled off with a hamstring injury). Unless we bring in a couple of strong signings this week, which Jim looks incapable of, and we change formation/tactics we'll struggle again. McBookie giving 23/20 for QP. Outrageous odds that will shorten all week Edited August 21, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Please don’t tell us you miss Paul Hartley? Quite a turnaround for both teams. The 28 points hasn’t been forgotten but in this particular game, I’ll be expecting a win next week. For the first time this season. So you’re probably safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Absolutely buzzin for this one already. No Rory and Megginson limped off at half time on Saturday. I'm very likely to peak too early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If we can nick a win here, ten points from our first five would be outrageous. We know how mental this league is, though. All we can ask for is to try and match the levels of the past two games. Do that and we’ll be tough to play against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely my impromptu laugh out loud moment of the day. Gladly, so far, he's only had 3 substitute appearances; last 15 minutes or so. Who knows what McIntyre will do, especially if Mitch is out (unknown so far). Looks like a boy playing against men. Annoyingly always cuts back on himself rather than driving forward. Time will tell if he goes down as our worst signing since joining the SPFL. Broque Watson will give him a run for his money. In fact, Ross Draper wins that accolade Edited August 23, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Willie Collum's in the bad books with one of the arse cheeks of Scottish football and is now relegated to taking charge of our game this weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartSkins Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Am as confident of a decent performance as I have been for many a year; which should give us the three points. And provide us with our first clean sheet of the season. Taking nothing for granted though, any slacking will be punished. 2-0 for Queen's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Soo-sider Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Hoping for our first clean sheet on the season and hope that Savoury starts to bury some of the many chances he seems to create for himself. 2-0 Queens Savoury and Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savoury has looked very impressive the opening few games of the season. Got the quick feet and drive and plays in between the lines. We are badly missing that type of player. We were down 5 in training on Tuesday including Mitch. Suspect some of them will train tonight and play Saturday but we're underdogs coming into this one Unfortunately will be my first missed game, including pre-season and LC, this weekend. Chalked up a few away days leaving the wife with young kids alone. Managed to settle on going to Montrose (45 minutes away) to see Rory instead.

Agree - and the amount of times the SFA or SPFL cave in and side with them, Lundstram being the latest example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Would not be changing anything from the Arbroath match. From back to front we were terrific and if we show the same desire going forward, I’m confident we’ll pick up a positive result. That being said, I do always get wary when we’re big favourites for a game as I’ve seen countless times, particularly last season how that can be thrown back in your face. I said from the start of the season that I thought cove would struggle. Their lack of depth I think is maybe starting to catch up on them already? The appointment of McIntyre doesn’t help and their recruitment has been surprisingly poor (signing Longstaff still shocks me). Hoping megginson is unavailable for the game. Seems like a hamstring injury so that may end up being the case I’ll go for a 3-1 victory. We’re so exciting to watch nowadays and having Thomas, savoury and Murray linking up together in attack is a joy to watch. Recruitment has been spot on this season Edited August 25, 2022 by qpfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPSpider1867 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Cove signing Luis Longstaff and losing Rory McAllister in the same window is fantastic business. 3-1 QP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Has to be same team, other than maybe Bannon for Kilday. I’d take a shitey 1-0 here. Said from the outset that we’ll win games we’re not meant to and lose games we’re meant to win. Would prefer if we continued to play sexy football, but get the points first and foremost. All sorts of danger klaxons going off when you start to allow yourself to feel confident in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
