Greenacres Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Think I say this every game but this really is a very difficult game . Think if we can get out with a draw it would be a good result. We can't play as open as the Alloa game would bring in Cochrane for Connelly . -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudleyghu Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Can’t see Dunfermline winning their next 2 games, been pretty poor this season and I’m sure we’ll do a number on them next week. They’ll lose midweek and expect to win the league against us, not a chance, I’d even go as far as saying they’re on par with us this season. 3-0 queens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, as mentioned we've got a game before this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was beaten to the Alloa game thread so getting in early this time. Edited April 9, 2023 by Fae_the_'briggs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Dunfermline win the league before this game I doubt they'll approach this one any differently. For us a point is a great result. Of all the games left this is the one I had earmarked as a defeat so depending on other results it doesn't necessarily mean our season is over if we lose. A win would be massive though and hopefully a draw at least to keep our own run going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dunfermline have the title wrapped up by Saturday I won't be expecting an easier game as a result. There's no way McPake will take the foot off the pedal with a club record to be beaten/set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Either way Saturday's game won't be easy. If the title is won on Tuesday, neither McPake nor the Pars players will be openly talking about taking the foot off the gas on Saturday - but it's more likely to be a subconscious, psychological slight backing off from full throttle ... if it happens. I think we won up at Falkirk on the last game of a season in kinda similar circumstances a good few years back, and no one gave us a chance then either. Steve Bowey winner was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk had the league won by then of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will. Its only natural. These 'McPake wont allow it' assertions arent worth the time it takes to read them. Maybe they'll be brilliant anyway but given a straight choice I'd rather they clinch it Tuesday.

I think Dunfermline haven't played quite as well at home going by previous comments on here. Combine that with them not clinching it on Tuesday you could argue there will be more pressure on them on Saturday which may not work in their favour, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sit deep and have no intention of attacking, we’ve been struggling to break teams down recently. But we also haven’t had Matty Todd for the last 2 home games, who has been crucial in breaking teams down all season. As for the other comments about McPake not allowing us to ease off, it may not be intentional. There’s a good chance that, once the title is secured, we will lose a couple of games. There won’t be the same intensity/desire once there’s no ‘need’ to win. But then, there’s also the argument that less pressure lets them play with more freedom, which may see us score more goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt MB will have us set up not to lose tbh. He seems to have chose his system and is sticking with it. A draw would be a very good result for us but going by how he's approached games and how he speaks, I expect he'll be looking for 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 If we do win it tomorrow I think you’ll face just as tough a Pars team as you will if we don’t win it. McPake will 100% want to keep our unbeaten run going, break club records etc, the goalie also has equalled or beat a shut out record set by Ian Westwater in the 90’s so he’ll want that to continue. We’ll probably give some fringe players, even some of the academy boys who’ve been in and around the squad a game, but that’ll come towards the end of the season I think. Also, if we’ve got it won, the pressure might be off and we might play better. Would actually like to see you guys come up via the playoffs, enjoy a wee trip to Dumfries! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a love hate relationship with QoTS over the years. Paul Burns annoyed me, the Rangers vote was outstandingly poor banter, however they've got a cracking set of posters on here (Potentially the best) and when I lived in Newcastle I really enjoyed the trips through to Dumfries, lovely town, nice stadium. If we have the title wrapped up on Tuesday, and a win at EEP leads to QoTS dumping Falkirk out the playoffs we'll call it quits over Gavin Reilly. Firm handshakes all around. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental that you can foresee the future on how a team will play against us all because they have a game beforehand. Hope MB is knocking on your door for more insight into the future. It’s like the greenacres guy who knows every clubs finances - YOU know how they’ll react and play a week before the game. Got any accumulator tips for today drifter man? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
