Superally Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Arguably the Pars suffered a new managers bounce against Clyde, and potentially it looks like a potential repeating scenario this Saturday with Jim McInally just resigning from Peterhead. With the Pars heading north to Balmoor stadium there will be an element of revenge in mind after the Pars gave away a comfortable 2-0 win to draw 2-2 in the last moments of the game at EEP. With a somewhat complacent first half performance against Clyde the faithful will be looking for an improved performance against the League one bottom side this time out. Peterhead’s last win was against Kelty Hearts in September. Over the past 10 matches they have managed a single win, 3 draws and 6 losses. On their last outing they drew 1-1 with Airdrie. Overall they have managed 10 goals (2 against the Pars!) and conceded 36 - more than anyone else. The Pars huffed and puffed to earn a draw against struggling Clyde requiring pens from Benedictus to save a point. However, injuries do seem to have impacted on the team with McCann and Allan being long term, when you add in Breen and Hamilton? It makes things difficult with a small squad. Edwards also looked to be carrying a problem too and didnt look the player we normally expect to see. The Pars have allowed Falkirk to pull back a couple of points last Saturday and really can't afford anymore slipups against teams at the lower end of the table especially those with new managers! Has to be a 2-0 Pars win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pinning my hopes on the fact that the "New manager bounce" is not a given 100% of the time. 🙂 It's also very unlikely that Peterhead will have a new permanent manager in place by Saturday in any case. Is there such a phenomenon as an "Interim manager bounce?" 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See our win at Inverness once Grant was punted, and before Hughes was brought in to unsteady the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superally Posted November 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 While some of the younger players featured against Celtic B, I think McPake will go with his tried and tested formula against Peterhead. I think Hamilton and Breen will return. This is a game we have to make sure that we come down the road with 3pts. Falkirk won't be as complacent in taking 3 pts from Clyde this weekend so the Pars have to maintain the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 It's certain that he will go with experience. He may go for a 3-5-2 formation, that becomes a 5-3-2 when defending?

Eastendtales Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 3 points by any means as always please. Can't see this being pretty at all and it'll be difficult. Normally is there, unless Peterhead are off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA-go Par Adonis Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I'd have KRH in place of Todd, but the other 10 would start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Eleven Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 This has the feeling of a huge game for the Pars after the disappointing result last week. Failing to beat the bottom 2 in consecutive days risks derailing the promotion push. However the midweek win over Celtic B should hopefully have restored the players confidence and the Pars should win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
