Superally Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 A journey up the A9 to Dingwall faces the Pars faithful this weekend for the third game in the Premier Sports Cup. While the Pars have done very well in their last two outings this undoubtedly will be their biggest test in this round of cup matches and also being a sound measuring stick for the all important league campaign. While the Pars demolished Buckie Thistle 5-0 who in turn enjoyed a 1-1 draw the Staggies I think most supporters will anticipate this to be a tough match. It looks with the current squad that McPake is close to settling towards a starting 11. But its good to see that goals are coming from all round the pitch and with strikers McCann and Todorov appearing to be in decent form. Dorrans is the only long term injury and Wighton had a knee knock that prevented him from appearing mid week. The Pars are top of the table at present and are strengthened with a ppositive goal difference and yet to concede. Confidence will be high and it would be good to come back down the A9 with at least a point (and perhaps a bonus point for winning at Pens!).

Tartan Army Par Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Think this will be really tough for our boys. County will want to make up for the draw at Buckie and flex their Premiership muscle against the second favourites. It will be interesting to see which of our players look comfortable playing at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Will be a tough game and one I don't think we will win. Hopefully we can hold out for a point and if other results go our way that would see us possibly qualify top of the group before the Alloa game. Anyone been able to find out if a stream of the game will be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piracy Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 3-2 Dunfermline. That would be some accomplishment if we achieved such a scoreline. But can't beat a bit of pre-season optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I assumed it would be a 'made up' team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Eleven Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 We’re very much the underdog for this game so if we can be close to Ross County that’s a good result. I wouldn’t read too much into their draw with Buckie as that must’ve been a very different Buckie to the one that turned up and East End on Tuesday.

GG Riva Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Predicting results of football matches is a hazardous business and betting on them is foolhardy. Still and all, I think it will be a close game if James McPake sets the team up correctly (whatever formation that may be.) A draw would be a good result, a win would be brilliant.
