Next Up Morton

[JRSLEFTPEG]

I can clearly see that we have had a revival but lets be honest and say the recent run of fixtures has not been as tough as it will be soon. Saturdays game will be that' test ' even though we have a great record up there and will naturally be confident . Kenny Shiels got his long awaited first win in a very good win at Livvy and they will now be smelling blood, especially with Cowdenbeath and Alloa continuing to flounder. I felt we were lacking in centre midfield against Raith . McShane might well have got the decisive goal ( and thanks a lot Ian) but he continues not to convince me . Lets hope either Young or Burns is passed fit to anchor McKenna in midfield . This will improve Queens immeasurably . Bring it on and lets keep that top four target on the burner .

Jr I hate to be the bearer of bad news I think Mckenna could be Suspended after Saturdays yellow card. It took him to 6 I may be wrong but I think Higgins Also could be Missing I hope not or were in touble.

And Hopefully St Johnstone dont Recall Big Zander or Mr Antell will have to be Recalled.

I'm expecting a tricky game this weekend against a side who had a moral boosting win last Saturday .

It would be tough on the match winner McShane if he loses his place but we're lucky enough to have players like Burns or maybe even a fit again Young who can replace him .

Would also like to see McHugh in action if he's over the slight muscle injury picked up during the warm up

Higgins will miss the Livvy game due to his 6th yellow card of the season .

McKenna is on 4 yellows ( league only ) & is two away from suspension as are Burns , Lyle & Holt

Kenny Shiels is taking no prisoners in trying to change the Morton team. I think he has already released at least 6 players, including Craig Reid, Mark McLaughlin and our 2 Slovaks, and he has brought in about the same number of new players, including Gary O'Connor who should be reaching reasonable fitness levels by the weekend - clearly a class act but in his first game a couple of weeks ago he made Mark Yardley look anorexic. Going to be difficult to avoid relegation after such an appalling first half of the season but it looks as if he's going to have a right good go at it, and if he fails he will at least have the basis of a decent squad to go through the division below like a dose of salts.

I'm fairly sure it won't be a boring 0-0 draw.

Hi Alibi - I am sure you reckon Morton can stay up yet. Cowdenbeath will finish bottom and Alloa have hit the skids so still hope .I see Craig Reid has been released . Was he dissapointing ?

Riordan has offered to play for Morton too for free!
That's not going to be in place for saturday though.
Anyhoo,nuff about Morton, I feel confident that we can win this on Saturday and with ease.
Cappielow's a great setting and with a noisy queens support it feels as though we can raise the roof. Would love the young team to be in attendance and make some noise. Always entertaining, and hugely beneficial to the team.
I urge all fans who are able, to come and cheer the team to victory.

This will be a step up from the Raith game.
Morton have made some really good signings In the window.
All have S.P.L. experience it will not be long before Morton pull away from from the bottom.
A point here would be a good result.

Going to be hard to get out of this position. I can see us overtaking Cowdenbeath but 15 points to the next group of teams is a lot to pull back with only 16 (?) games to go.

I thought Reid was OK despite playing in a shambles of a team. I think the decision to let him go was more because his short term deal expired and Shiels wanted to get rid of some players to bring in new ones. Had some of the other squad members been on short term deals, I'm sure they'd have been out the door rather than Craig.
