The Road And The Miles To Dundee

Thommo out injured

Queens obviously disappointed after Wednesday night's cup exit,head for Bonnie Dundee on league business. The Doonhamers have a habit of bouncing back after periods of adversity and if we keep it tight there is every chance we can bring home the bacon. Once again Queen's manager Gordon Chisolm's team selection is limited because of suspension and injuries but he still has enough players to field a decent team in theory. Whether they perform is another matter and after Wednesday night's debacle some Queens fans are questioning the attitude of certain players.

We must get Methil out of the system and have a go at Dundee as we have the players in Dobbie and O'Connor to hurt them.

Queens likely team:

MacDonald
Paton Atkin Aitken McQuilken
Burns Scally MacFarlane Bingham
Dobbie O'Connor
