Superally Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 It’s the 2nd cup game on Tuesday 12th and the first at East End Park where the Pars welcome Buckie Thistle. On paper they may seem the weakest team, but they will be no push over finishing second their league campaign scoring well over a 100 goals coupled with a miserly defence. Buckie Thistle also held Ross County to a 1-1 draw with the Staggies only winning on Pens so this will be a tough match. I thought McPake had put his strongest team out against East Fife so it will be interesting to see if he will go with consistency or look to change and give some game time to other players. Once again no Trialists are allowed so any new faces will have to be a signing. This will be a tough game but I think home advantage will edge a close encounter. 2-0 Pars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelty_par Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Be good to get a few goals to build up the goal difference, that could be vital in the run for top 3 2nd place finishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Need a better start than we had on Saturday if we want to get 4 or 5. Fancy us to win though. would be good to get a new player or 2 this week to give a bit more depth to the team. Desperately need a bit more creativity and pace in the middle of the park, so much of our play is slow and gives teams time to get organised and we end up with lots of passing in front of them but going nowhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 9 points and a good goal difference would hopefully get us through, could be much needed extra income for the club. Writing the county game off and anything we get will be a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 9 points is traditionally borderline for top 3, if we get that but not a strong enough GD i think I could accept it, ultimately if we win this game that will give us a chance final day, regardless of the county result. Win this, get what we can from county and then worry if we need a good GD against Alloa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmcno1 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 A narrow win. This team took Ross Co to penalties, so don’t think it will be an easy game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Buckie drew with a team 2 leagues above us on Saturday so this could be a tough match. I’d take any win at this stage with extra goals a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming County didn't field their strongest team, Ross? If so, the result of that game is irrelevant in any relation to our game v Buckle.

On paper anyway it looked the strongest 11, plenty boys who played all last season starting the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Kelty says it looked a fairly solid Ross Co side, certainly a number of recognisable names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBpar Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Be nice if we had a new signing in but doubt we will, this is like last summer and January again. Although the football is better and more optimism about the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Buckie for doing so well. It would be like a cup final for them, playing their Highland neighbours. They'd have been well up for it.
