Auld Jag

Boys big game on Saturday. They need to be reminded that Saturday's game is a big one? And you can only pick players from our squad, so no fantasy football league type starting 11. This looks like something that might be sent in a Sunday league/ pub team.

Gerry Britton on STV news tonight saying we have a good launch pad to go and do well next season. Highlighting we have improved since January. Lets hope he is right.

I was never sure if we would get promoted, but never expected us to be in with a chance of being in the relegation play off either. Fact is his getting only 5 points in his first 10 games helped to put us in the position we now find ourselves. No matter how well we have done since January, or we are in the top 3 in form over the last 6 games etc. The only league table that is relevant will be the one about 4-55pm this Saturday. Lets hope we are above 9th.

Graham and Stewart at Ross County would be good if they were deemed not good enough for the top league. I know they refused us last season, but with our new manager it might be different. Also depends what league we are in.

My point is some on this forum want to make out he is a better manager than he seems to be so far. They will make out he saved us from relegation, whereas he was brought in with 26 games to play to get us promotion.If you don't get it fine.

If we take that attitude we will at best end up playing Clyde, Forfar etc or even go out of business. We should be higher and challenging in the Championship. The reason we are not imo we waited to long before we got rid of Archie and we then employed the wrong man(willing to be proven wrong with that one). We will bounce back hopefully. How long it will take is anybody's guess.

Totally understandable. We have all made sacrifices both time wise and money spent over the years. Which makes the claim by some on this forum that some fans would like to see us relegated so we could sack Caldwell, laughable. Why after spending so much time and money over the years would you want your team relegated, that would do nothing but harm to the club. Just to get rid of the manager.

No matter who the manager is, what league we are in, I will still renew my season ticket as I have done for many years. But I fear not everybody will be the same.

Agree. I will also say again. I think he will be our manager next season, no matter what.

Cant disagree with a lot of what you say. But lets not forget we were in a near impossible situation because he only managed 5 points in his first 10 games. I will say it again, will be delighted if he proves me wrong. We stay up this season and we are challenging next season.

If we are not relegated some on here and the board will probably say he saved us from relegation. I really do not think he is a good manager at the level we want to be at. But if he is still our manager next season,as I expect him to be no matter what league we are in, I hope he proves me wrong.

He was terrible for Wigan until the January window, when Wigan gave him money to buy the league. He couldn't help but win the league with the money he was given, said Wigan fans on one of their websites. On Wigan and Chesterfield forums you will be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks he is a good manager and who weren't happy to see him go.

This season is by far worse than last season. Most of our seasons in the premier league not getting relegated is a success. In this league we should imo be top 4. Also when you see Hamilton getting just over 1100 for an important game, is it really being over ambitious to think why could we not compete with them.

But we all hope it is finished after 36 games.

Agree in a way regarding loan players. But also I hope even though they are loan players they wouldn't want a relegation from the Championship on their cv. Also according to the official site Keown's contract expires end of May this year.

Who would give somebody who had been sacked by their previous 2 clubs and also been relegated with them a lucrative contract? His agent must be Derren Brown.

Tenaman will be selling out.

It is true to say Storey wasn't the only one to blame.But if he had taken at least one of his chances I don't think we would have lost. Unfortunately for Thistle Storey has never been able to recreate his form with Inverness where he got into double figures goal wise, and in his time at Firhill the unforgettable performances from him are vastly outweighed by the forgettable one's. Again he is not the only one that can be said about.

If his crosses are anything to go by,the bus would never reach its destination.

This is indeed what I meant Jeanie D. It is still in our own hands as it was yesterday and that didn't go to well.

Lets hope he can break his record for getting teams relegated and we stay up this season. Over the close season him and the chairman should have a meeting setting out realistic targets. Which as far as I am concerned is we should be a top 4 team. His performance during the season should be monitored and if we have a run like the first 10 games of his tenure he should be sacked. I think we will stay up, not because I am confident we will get the required result in Dumfries, but because although Ayr will play a weakened team I think Alloa will get a draw at best.

He was meant to be at the POTY event last night. Lady hosting the event said he went home to be with his family. Kerr spoke instead. I was only half listening, but if I remember right the just of it was. We are all disappointed how the season has went, we will get the result required next week. Take stock over the close season and come back stronger next season.

Great control and composure by Storey. Pity he didn't show the same control and composure when he had 2 very good chances to score. If he had we would have won easily.

Once again a big thank you to Dougie and Mark from the Jags Disabled Supporters club, for doing this in Robert's memory.
