Bbk Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Don't think SC will share your opinion thankfully he will use all of the above throughout the season depending on the opposition we are facing and at least the team have achieved qualification for the next round onwards and upwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Given the lack of minutes I’m struggling to see where the likes of Frizzell, Higgins and Thomas will feature in the squad. Friz and Higgins haven’t played in the league cup. Thomas has effectively been brought on late to see out games. He looks to be behind JJ, Ndjoli, Burke, Kiltie and McKenzie for the attacking positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz of the 20/20 Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 People slate pre-season friendlies but if playing against decent opposition you have a half-idea how you are shaping up. We’re going into st Johnstone match, as they are, having absolutely no idea whether we’re any good -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't disagree more. Far better to have something approaching our settled starting 11 playing in games that actually matter to get match fit than fiddling about in some guff friendly.

piffer Posted July 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Today can’t be far off our starting 11 but to be honest you could have said that before seeing us play with the squad we have. I’d say eight of the places in the team will be almost guaranteed. MacDonald is first choice keeper. Back four picks itself if fit with SOD, Broadfoot, Findlay and Taylor. I expect Power and Dicker to start in CM and Boyd upfront. Three places up for grabs? Does JJ play on the left or put Ndjoli in there? Do we play with a right midfielder in Burke or use McKenzie, Kiltie or Wilson in another variation of our three man midfield? And who partners Boyd. Brophy, Erwin and Ndjoli all bring something to the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could at least play trialists though. St Mirren played Sunderland and now they have a very good idea that they’re pish. I can see the benefit of playing competitive matches but at this moment in time how do you think we are shaping up compared to St Johnstone for next Saturday and are we prepared for start of premier league season? No idea........ Edited July 28, 2018 by Gaz of the 20/20 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have struggled to do this under AJ/Locke/McCulloch etc Disagree- at the exact same time last year we dispatched Dumbarton in a far more convincing manner than was shown today. Credit to Queens for a well organised performance. Let's hope we are much sharper next week, that Findlay is fit and that JJ decides to take the risk of getting tackled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His delivery and creativity was something different from what we usually have. agreed. Was glad he started and thought he was busy and inventive. Unlucky a well worked first half shot didn't produce a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Thought Queens Park defended well. Boyd should have had 2/3 goals without being overly involved. Sod and Taylor both looked to get forward and Dicker and Power bossed the midfield. QP pressed everyone except Scott Boyd knowing he was our poorest passer. This led to him having a lot of the ball. Frustrating our support by the sounds of it, we recycled play side to side pretty well. We didn’t have that penetrating pass into the final third but we kept ball well. Burke provides an early delivery and doesn’t need to beat his man to put balls in box. Njoli looked good in spells and did well to set up goal. Having watched Jones at Spartans and the second half today, it is apparent he isn’t his normal cocky self. Disinterested to say the least, he was unwilling to run the right back opting to turn inside on numerous occasions.

Still a couple of new faces to come though I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 We all know nobody is going to give us near to a million by what has been witnessed so far this season but if he starts the first four league games like last years JJ who knows I think next weeks first line up by SC will give us all the indication as to who will be the preferred starting eleven and let's hope an on fire JJ is part of it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after we despatched Dumbarton last year we then played 8 games in the league and 1 in the cup without a single victory so I hardly think it was a sign of good form to come. Its hard to read very much into these early games although two years ago it was already obvious that Lee Clark had largely signed a load of duds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also said Dumbarton would be his last game. You also mentioned the fee he was going for.
