an86 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 A repeat of 2006 would do nicely, but can’t see it. Thought Aberdeen looked good yesterday. We have no settled defence and a back three that may only consist of one natural centre back will likely be a problem. Would rather we went up and had a go than sit in. The worst that could happen is a pumping. We sat in at Hibs and got a chasing anyway, so might as well try and be a bit more adventurous. Would be happy with staying in the game as long as possible and giving a decent account of ourselves. Anything beyond that is dreamland stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) The Calderwood era highlights were consistent Top 4 finishes (other than 6th once) and a great European season in 07/08. The lowlights were most certainly domestic cup performances - Jimmy seemed to be of the Dutch mindset that these were much less important than the league - and his era was punctuated by a few cup shockers including Queens x 2. Interesting seeing the names from then - the penalty miss was from Darren Mackie, which recalling his effort that ended up in a duck pond when he moved to Phoenix AZ, is no real surprise.

I take it that that is Stuart Kettlewell in the QP side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queens Park assistant manager lining up for the Dons there. I see they've just signed Austin Samuels as well. Remember him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team goes down in QP folklore and not just because of the Aberdeen game. We were promoted that season as well. Billy Stark had us playing some superb football and the squad was full of big characters as well. Great times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this the season before we qualified for Europe? What a dire team we put out here.

Made debut at Love St, and mind saying to my son within the first twenty minutes that he was shite. Think he maybe just scraped into double figures in terms of appearances before being released a year early from his contract Edited August 17 by Sheep62 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu_81 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Dons starting line up not filling me with confidence, queens a decent side middle to front, could be a tricky afternoon this, reds need an early goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidersmad Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Looks like Zach Mauchin is our latest defensive casualty with Ujdur getting his second start. MacGregor on the bench but at least gives us an option to make a substitution which won't weaken the side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
