Superally Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 The Pars leave the league one battle and head towards Dundee and Dens Park on Tuesday 10th for the SPL Trust Trophy Cup. It will be interesting on a couple of levels. Firstly it will be a return for former Dundee Manager Jim McPake and secondly this will be a real test for the League 1 leaders to pitch themselves against a Championship team looking for a return to the Premiership. While the Pars comfortably dismissed Arbroath recently Dundee will offer a greater challenge. Currently Dundee sit 3rd in the table 4pts behind leaders Queens Park this season they have scored 33 goals but their defence is second best conceding 25 goals. Recent form matches their league position however their last two games was a 4-2 defeat to Arbroath and 1-1 draw against Raith. It will be good to see the Pars test themselves against a Championship side but I don’t think we should fear Dundee and there is every chance we could progress. If you don’t fancy the trip north its on BBC Alba. COYP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saline hill puma Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Won't make the game as I'm playing 5s (well turning up).I think we will give Dundee a decent game, but lose out narrowly in a low scoring game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifes Elite Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Doubt I will make the game so will probably watch on the tv. Tbh I would be a bit annoyed if we lost a key player to injury in this game (such as bene or wighton) but I think Mcpake will go full strength. I also think we wte struggling for cbs as it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secure Par Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Will be watching the game on Alba but looking forward to see where this team is tbh. We have a good squad that can compete in the championship so will see what happens👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in league 1 and our manager is playing against the last team he managed… every cup game we play is a must win imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to win every game but this isn’t a proper cup and doesn’t deserve anything like the respect the Scottish cup has. I will be making no effort to watch this, will only tune in if happen to be home before FT. If it was a league game a strong chance I’d be at the ground and a near certainly I’d be watching on TV.

Number Eleven Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 This game is another chance to test ourselves against a Championship team to gauge how much we’ve improved since last season. I think that Dundee will give a much stiffer challenge than Arbroath, who’ve struggled this year. The squad for tonight is quite thin with the 4 loanees unavailable. Hopefully we’ll give a good account of ourselves in the big televised match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hamilton could be playing at centre back tonight if Breen is still unavailable I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't do that, he hasn't done that in any of the previous rounds. He did give some of them a run out due to the unavailability of the loanees but we will start with a strong team.

SevenTay Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Could do with a quick start like this tonight. O'Hara and Wighton both scoring great goals in the first 5 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
