Auld Jag

Ran out of likes again. Caldwell has stated our fitness has improved under his management. Didn't look like it yesterday. We have to hope as others have said the second half yesterday was a blip and maybe a wake up call to players and manager. We can't just walk on the park to get a result, even if we are 2-0 up at half time. A football game lasts for 90 mins plus injury time.

My point exactly. Why have him on the bench, if he is not going to get any game time?

That game came to mind at half time today. A few fans said to me we were closing in on a play off place. I said we hadn't won yet and if there was to be more goals in the second half it could prove important. If we scored and made it 3-0 hopefully that would be game over. But if they scored and made it 2-1, depending when it was it could end up being a different result. Well we all know what happened. If we don't want relegated we cant repeat that second half.

Some on the forum have spoke as if Caldwell's tenure only started in January. We have of course picked up 11 points from the 6 league games we have played since then. But in reality he has been in charge of 16 league games and in that time we have picked up 16 points. You don't have to be Rachel Riley to work out that makes an average of 1 point per game. We have 11 league games left and if we were to continue with that average, we would end up with 36 points. I don't think that would be enough for us to end up out of the bottom 2. We need to hope that the second half (non) performance against County is just a blip and we manage to get back on the rails and playing the way we have done for the majority of 2019. I think we need to look to get at least 15 points from our remaining league games. That needs to start on Tuesday night at East End park, as another defeat could see us hit another downward spiral and we know how long we took to get out of that the last time it started.

To true.

How happy I felt then. Shame about the second half.

When Roy and Mansell get on before Coulibaly, why do even bother listing him as a sub. I think it is obvious we have no intention of playing him.

Remember that Ptd. Hazard flapped at a cross ball and then fell flat on his face. Don't know how County didn't score from it.

At half time it looked as if we had turned the corner and on the way up. But after the second half it looks like not a lot has changed. Our defence looked like they hadn't met each other in the second half. Tuesday is another big game. Defeat and it looks like we are back to the Thistle before January. Lets forget talk of getting into the top 4. Sadly Success is now not suffering a double relegation.

Hope a big Thistle support turns up today. Lets get right behind the manager and the team. C'mon the Jags.

If we win, I'll be happy.

I am sure I read on the official site in the last week or so that Dools is now part of the coaching team for reserves.

Cumnock.

I think there could be a few reasons we have hung on to him. We couldn't afford to be paying Caldwell off while we are still paying our previous management team. The Chairman didn't want to admit they had got it wrong. They had confidence he would turn it around, even though it took longer than what they expected. Whatever the reason we now seemed to have turned the 'tanker' around and hopefully heading in the right direction and calmer waters.

2 well worked and taken goals.

Agree with most of this. But if we did go down I wouldn't stick with him. We are now in the position and playing well enough that this should not happen.

We are the form team. Obviously it will be a difficult game. But yes we should be going out to win every game.

Sure is. But we need to keep doing it.

On line said he was harshly booked for kicking ball away at throw in for Alloa.

Great picture Jagfox.

If we win next week , I think he could win Championship manager of the month. Never thought I would be able to say that.

Couldn't agree more. Just saying job not done yet.

Ran out of likes. What a turnaround since the new year and transfer window. Well done to Caldwell and the team. Still a lot of work to be done to make sure we don't end up 9th. Think Alloa will be bottom.

Don't forget the final.

Squeaky bum time then.
