  1. Sneddon in goals. Could some kind person who is into social media post the rest of our team? The Club seem to have given up on the Match Hub.
  2. Championship chat very focused on 2 Dundee teams. Maybe no harm in our having a low profile.
  3. That's a fair set of predictions, and I would not argue too much, although obviously I hope that Thistle will confound all expectations and finish first. I think that you are being too optimistic as regards Dundee and Morton. and perhaps too pessimistic as regards Arbroath, who I expect will enjoy a first season bounce.
  4. Warming up for the Doolan testimonial?
  5. But then they can call it "The Family Final".
  6. Not necessarily, and certainly not here when 4 of the seeds have done nothing yet in the competition to earn their seeding. I would see the main purpose in seeding as being to keep stronger teams apart until the later stages of the tournament, rather than to give them an easier time.
  7. I agree, and not just on the OF point. If all or at least the vast majority of the ties are "higher teams" at home to "lower teams", in terms of league position, financial resources etc, then the possibility of surprises is minimised. To have a realistic chance of progressing far, we have to hope that some big beasts are taken out.
  8. Our wide play from Cardle, Williamson and Robson is more productive than in past seasons, but apart from Gordon we lack finishers.
  9. I have not listened again to the spoken interview on JagZone to check (listening once is torture enough), but my recollection of Caldwell's comments on Austin is much more positive. It seemed to be a matter of checking out some details of past injuries, but with an expectation of saying "Yes" rather than "No". The "nothing is particularly close" comment came after that and I took it as "nothing else (ie apart from Austin) is particularly close".
  10. I think he has saved only one for us. I am going totally on memory here, so may be totally wrong, but I think it was a cup win at Firhill against lower league opposition and would not have had much bearing on the final result even if scored. It was a very weak shot hit straight to him and even I could probably have saved it.
  11. Hopefully he will be above everage
  12. A good summary. Apologies to my fellow Jags fans, as I think I jinxed Sean McGinty by praising him in my halftime post. He then felt he had to balance matters up by being rubbish in the second half!
  13. I think I would add Dundee, where the stewarding goes beyond the indifferent to the hostile.
  14. Robson attacking left midfield is the source of most of our chances, so I think we might see him there more often. Getting caught offside rather a lot which hopefully he can correct with more experience of playing there. Williamson perhaps a little fortunate with the goal which was a dink to the back post that sneaked in, but deserved as a reward for a good spell of attacking play. Unlike Penrice/Robson, Williamson is having to cover the right side by himself and was posted missing for their goal.
  15. Disappointing to lose the goal but it was a very good move and well finished. Teams evenly matched with Thistle having slight edge and more chances. Certainly nothing to indicate that the teams are in different divisions. Big Sean strolling it in defence and playing some great balls forward. He really is turning into a player!
  16. Not sure of formation as both Penrice and Robson starting
  17. Mitch Austin is supposed to be a speedy winger. If he changed his surname, he would really tire out the opposition defenders as then he would be ex-Austin. I'll get my coat.
  18. I thought that it was a nice touch by Ryan Williamson to pay tribute to his predecessor at right wingback Christie Elliott by wearing a plaster cast on his hand/arm.
