To be anywhere Falkirk, Cove & Airdrie after the first set of fixtures I think we need to think in terms of 5 wins!
Agree. We've had an early season wobble and now need to go on a good sequence of wins extending right through December.
-
We need to be careful what we wish for. We could just as easily be hit with a covid outbreak and find ourselves fall further behind if we cant fulfill a fixture or two.

The sooner we realise we're in league one playing mostly part-timers then maybe we will get back to basics. Straight forward 4-4-2 with two wingers. Between the apparently 'undroppable' Banzo and Docherty, one of them need to get forward to support the attack. The slow pedestrian nature of the two kills our move before it even gets started. Its goals you need to win games and its goals we have struggled with this year. Anything other than a win and we can forget winning the league, simple as that

Bannigan is finished and would be better off joining the other class of 2012 at east kilbride. The fact McCall keeps blowing smoke up his erse and building a team around him is insanity. The insistence of playing two defensive midfielders has haunted us for a long time, but to continue it in this league is unbelievable. Theres no pace in our play and the build up is painful. Its embarrassing now and really losing interest. Theres absolutely no danger 6000 folk were watching the shite were serving up the now, not a chance

Need to grind out a win today in the poor conditions then
-
Id be very surprised if that was correct. I wonder if that number includes people who switched off and logged back in because of connection errors
-
The reality is, football shouldnt have recommenced until fans were allowed back into grounds. Its simply not viable and will be the death of many clubs including ours

Would we either bother to stream with what we’ve seen in last 3/4 years?
A big part of going to the game is meeting friends before it, the interaction with those around you in the stand and the analysis after with fans in the flesh. If that’s gone people will switch off
Correct. The last 3 years the football has only been an excuse to go to the pub, with the game itself being an endurance. It has to be said, even during those desperate times, I still miss my Saturdays
-
It might not have been as convincing as I had hoped but we got the result which is the most important thing. Still room for much improvement and with the next couple of games against arguably our biggest challengers, hopefully we can start to raise our game. With better awareness and decision making when we are attacking there should be plenty of goals in this team
-
God forbid we are bottom again, the SPFL board will be praying we start getting a few wins so they don't get the blame again
-
Let's not forget, this is a team McCall was building to challenge for the league above. We look devoid of ideas and goals. Same old story

I am sure i read that Rudden was injured. I don't think he has been fully fit since he came to us. I think he got injured while on loan at Plymouth.
There shouldn't really be any excuse for him not to be fully fit. I understand you can pick up niggly injuries from time to time but hes yet to kick a ball in anger for us in approaching 10 month. I think McCall said in an interview (after BSC game) that he was looking good prior to this latest set back so fingers crossed he can finally start looking like the player we all have high hopes for.

Stavanger, Norway tonight.
No masks
No 10pm close
No staying away from friends.
There is light at end of the tunnel folks
The only thing your worried about the pub not closing at 10pm in Norway must be the cost of a night out.

No wonder- he wrote that game off as not being a real game. It was very disrespectful of a club that stepped in at short notice.
I was surprised by McCall's comments regarding BSC. Robbie Neilson could probably have said the same of us after seeing that performance

Watched the highlights and Hearts looked much quicker and sharper. 2 nil flattered us really when you see some of the chances they passed up. Ill put some of the defending down to fitness but we seemed miles behind them how easily they cut us open with a simple turn or pass. The worst part was when our centre half tries to play Naismith offside from a shy, leaving him to run clean through. Im not sure if its the same boy that gives up for their 2nd goal as well but all in all, we need to be far better than that when the season starts a little more than a week from now.

Rite time to name names ..everyone knows who they don't want everybody knows who they want to go but who do we bring in that will get us promotion????
That's what Ian McCall and his assistants are paid for. If they do half as good a job as McNamara done then we'll be heading in the right direction

Could make the same excuse for Cole as Bannigan. The real disappointment in midfield in the second half of the season was MacKinnon. His no show meant there was no steel in defensive mid and Cole and Bannigan had to cover too much defensively. Just possibly with Bannigan having to mind his Ps & Qs (he only picked up one yellow over the last 13 league games), Cole was too often out of position. Put another way one of Cole's strengths was his willingness to play a forward ball into the box. We saw next to nothing of that latterly and I don't think that was all down to a lack of form or ability.
Regardless of differing opinions about Cole, signing MacKinnon was a dreadful bit of business. He was well overweight and can't have have passed any serious fitness test. Nobody goes from Championship quality in January to Drumchapel United level in 6 months. A worse signing than Gary Harkins.
There probably isnt as much a difference in quality between Drumchapel and us last season to be fair. I agree that MacKinnon was a really poor signing though, as was plenty of other who flattered to deceive. The complete no-show at Gayfield in January still gives me nightmares. That was enough to stop football never mind the ensuing pandemic. The one bit of optimism I have for the forthcoming season is, we surely cant be that bad again

The death of Scottish football is happening in front of our very eyes. Mothballing the league we have been consigned to will cause irreversible damage. We will effectively need to start from scratch while other teams higher up in the foot chain will benefit with increased prize money. Why cant we have a reduced capacity at Firhill. We could easily have 3000 folk adhering to distancing rules, which is as much as we will likely to see anyway. Same applies for every club in the lower leagues where its almost as if its behind closed doors with the amount of folk who attend. Surely the biggest threat still is to the players, so the restart of any football in Scotland should be uniform to all leagues

I think you are mixing up Snowdon with someone else! Are you thinking of the boy from Stoke, Wilkinson?
No its definitely Snowdon, sure he went onto play for the mighty Bo-ness not long after, what heady days when we could watch guys like that in the famous Red an Yella :)
Partick Thistle v Dumbarton - Saturday 5th December

I wasn't convinced by Graham's penalty in the last home game and yesterdays was a carbon copy. Its frightening really when you think that your main striker does not poses the composure to strike the ball confidently from 12 yards. Its more of a blooter and hope the keeper goes the wrong way. Yesterday the keeper did his homework and gave him a chance to redeem himself. With the rebound attempt, he didn't even really need to kick it hard, merely a feathered touch, rather than horse it over the bar. You have to pinch yourself when you think that these guys are getting decent money for that end product. Everyone can miss a sitter, but two in as many seconds is beyond belief
