bod Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Meantime back to the thread title, our match at home to Alloa. Historical they are a difficult and stubborn team for us. I think the game will be similar to our recent East Fife game whereby they sit in keep it tight with the hope of a set piece goal. Marv's style of football appears to be fast passing with lots of off the ball movement. Here's hoping Ambrose cruises through the game with Cochrane and Mimnaugh bossing the midfield. We should have enough to start the league campaign off with a home win. Edited August 2, 2023 by bod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic you're telling me to leave someone alone (even though I never respond to them) when it all started because you had a pop at another poster. A poster who should know better and as Fae the Briggs stated above ……….who continually posts as though he is talking down to ignorant pupils. These “ignorant pupils” are fellow supporters after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far as I can see Greenacres is a diehard supporter who attends matches home and away and keeps returning even after a succession of disappointing campaigns. There are plenty who have big ideas on the strategic direction of the club from the sanctuary of their armchair. Thanks for that I have not missed a home game for over 40 years sometimes I do post rubbish but all I want is to see is Queens winning games of football. On to that i hope we get off to a good start on Saturday I can see Alloa setting up like East Fife will be very difficult to break down we must move the ball quickly with not so much slow passing between the defence . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be better off sticking him on ignore of course but I can't blame someone for responding the way SD did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really recall many matches against us where Alloa sat in and we had to break them down. They're usually play at a high tempo and get right on your face, and quickly double up on players in possession and break quick from defence to attack. Of course it depends on the players Rice has now and how they're set up this season but I doubt they'll sit back and let us play freely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I'm just hoping that Rice plays McKay, Debayo & Devine in defence, each of whom struggled to reach the heady heights of meh when with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite like Debayo, definitely a player in there. Not sure Devine's fully fit yet which I'd posit as his most common status as a professional footballer. McKay has been fine - meh.

But his acts of random stupidity became too much for me and I was happy to see him go. Wouldn't surprise me to hear he has a good season at Alloa though. I actually forgot we had Devine. Some memory @Slipmat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was a rushed signing after Brownlie left/downed tools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandQueen Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Fascinating Q and A with Marv at the sponsors gathering. A couple of players will come in this week and there will be some ‘casualties’. He demands professionalism and some players didn’t try hard enough in training the day after the East Fife game so trained with the reserves next day. Very ambitious and professional. Doesn’t care where talent comes from as long as it improves the team. Quite happy to bat back daft questions too. I like this guy and my optimise is rising for this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
