FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been an indifferent run of form for the The Doonhamers of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Dunfermline A., who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win
| Sequence statistics: | |
| Queen o.t.S. | 4 games since last home draw. Not won in the 4 most recent games. |
| Dunfermline A. | Undefeated in last 6 away games. Last drawn game 5 outings ago. |
Queens's new manager Kenny Barnnigan will be demanding the same again from his heroic troops who did us proud at at Dens Park and the news is that there are no reported injury worries but Marc McCausland is of course suspended after being red-carded at Dens Park. I think Queen's players have tremendous respect for Brannigan and will give Dunfermline problems
With Sean O'Connor back and the Palmy crowd in good voice, I'm going for a narrow win for Queens despite the computer prediction.
