Superally Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 The Pars really have to get back on track after a pounding at Firhill and this Saturday at EEP games don’t come easier with the return of the Bunnet and his Arbroath side. The Red Lichties also suffered last weekend from ICT’s new manager bounce, but the game was close and in truth Arbroath have had decent form in the past few weeks. After a poor start to the season losing three they won the next 4 convincingly before losing out to ICT last weekend. They have scored 15 goals against the Pars 9, but have lost 11 goals in comparison to the Pars 8. Although they have played one game more they sit in fourth spot a single point above the Pars. The Pars long term injuries look fairly static, but Mehmet may return between the sticks. A question mark may sit over Ben Summers after sitting out on a precautionary basis last week. Although we both had bad results last week we have home advantage but this wont be a easy fixture. The Pars will want to be in contention for a top four place but I suspect it might be a point apiece at FT. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Always difficult against Arbroath. I see us shading it at home, but I'm reluctant to commit to a score prediction. Worried specifically our defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Red Sox Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 I think there will be some serious work done on the training pitch after Saturday. Think we will bounce back with a victory. Going for 3-1 this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digs Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 So many of them can't play that badly again, but Arbroath seem to have fixed their early season issues, so will be a hard game as it always is against them. I'm going for a draw or 1 goal victory for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saline hill puma Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 If we get some of the midfield options back this week we should be ok. Noticed Summers wasn't included in the Scotland u21 squad (sure he was last round?) and hopefully its not a sign that he is also now out for a few more weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 The reserves are playing QoS away today. Might get an indication of team lines on Sat regarding injuries. Will Summers return? Will Mehmet get some game time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Change of shape might do us good depending how Arbroath set up. We looked completely disjointed on Saturday and I'm sure DC will look at that as a weak point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Mehmet must be strong probable for Sat as he was getting a start today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Good result for the Pars reserves today winning 4-2. Jake and Taylor Sutherland bagging a brace each. I suspect Mehmet will be playing on Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how well Mehmet did, sounded like decent hits for Queens right hand edge of the box and chipped from 30 yards out. Anyone at the game?

Digs Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 The young boy Freddie Rowe in the middle of the park is only 16, and he's doing really well. Box to box midfielder in the Matty Todd mould. I used to play with his dad for years so I can only assume he gets that off his mum 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyboy Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 1-1 in another physical encounter. Dick will have them hyped up as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted October 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 McPake says Summers is perhaps 50/50, (If anything I think he might make the Bench) but will be fit for the Ayr game. Mehmet after playing on Tues will replace Sharp. Breen and Allan have trained. KRH and Todd are still recuperating and Tod is to see a specialist. Bene is still out but they don't want to rush him back too quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I’m not expecting anyone to come into the squad this week, mcpake seems strongly inclined to not take risks with injuries. A week ok on coming back to form in mehmet and with sharp playing poorly last week should result in the better goalkeeper getting his spot back.
