On the Telly...

 

Not sure if it's a good thing that we are on the telly on Friday night for all to see given our recent tepid performances, but we travel to Dumfries to take on Queen of the South at Palmerston for a 19:45 kick-off. Unfortunately any confidence we built up over the first nine games has dissipated in the Autumn mist and our form is now on a par with Queens who are second bottom of the table. Only Ayr united are worse over the last five games, and we failed to beat them as well.

Our demise has been excruciatingly rapid over the last few weeks where we have gone from five points ahead to four points and two places behind leaders Kilmarnock in the space of five games where we have only managed to accumulate three points out of a possible fifteen with zero wins. This is certainly not the form of a team looking for at least a play-off place, unless of course it's at the wrong end of the table.

The first meeting this season ended in a narrow 2-1 victory for Inverness in the Highlands after goals from Welsh and Gardyne overcame Queens who scored through Lee Connelly. Last time in Dumfries it ended all square at 1-1. Both sides have three draws and two defeats in their last five championship games.

Latest Team News

Must be a copy'n' paste on the official preview as that's all we get these days. “There’s always a couple of little niggles, I don’t want to give anything away with it being live on TV. We’ve given them right up until the last minute but apart from that I’ve got a healthy squad to choose from.”  What that probably means is that we have four or five missing, and the usual 'made of rice paper' players injured again and a four man bench. Good to see Carson back last week, let's hope he has no reaction from his first game in weeks and hopefully maybe some news about Shane Sutherland.

QOTS (away v Arbroath 1-1): Brynn, McKay, Nditi, Debayo, Johnston, McGrory, Gibson, Liddle (Todd 78′), Paton, Connelly (Roy 58′), Cameron

Same old story from Dodds <<yawn>>

Looking forward to this one, which is an opportunity to get things back on track. We often raise our game on tv, as we did in the same fixture last season. More of that will do me just fine.

The lack of numbers in the squad is becoming an issue, and if it continues we may need to get some of those out on loan back, particularly Fyffe or Nicolson as we are light on defenders.

As mentioned on another thread, I’d give MacGregor a run in the “no 10” role if Sutherland is not fit to start. McDonald is due a start on the wing also to see if he can contribute more than Walsh.

The downside is them having Innes Cameron who had a habit of scoring against us when with Ayr and Alloa.

Whatever our line up, let’s hope we put on a good show and get the three points.

Deservedly ahead but we need to play the full 90 tonight.

MacGregor, Sutherland and Allardice have impressed most me so far, and a good penalty by Mckay.

As Kingsmills says, I hope we don’t regret not getting further ahead whilst on top.
