Or Neilsen to holding midfield and drop Banzo or McInroy

Great work to strengthen our side and weaken a direct opponent

Is he a Korean ?

Tease. Bet it is someone I've never heard of

Nice draw for us, especially with either City or Hibs going out

If you include Fitz and Lawless as midfielders then I can get to 11 without thinking

Have to agree that he is a great player and one that I would love to see in a Thistle shirt. My concern is that it would use up resources when we have far more urgent priorities to address. We have already wasted some of them on a 4th keeper. If there is some way we can land him (and Paton) in the summer I’d be very happy

There will still be some who will want Dools sacked and McCall returned even though we are now closer to top than 5th

After driving for 10 hours across France, I arrive at the Channel Tunnel to see the score. Nothing to moan about. Come on Jags, give me something to be grumpy about on the 3 hour wait for our crossing PS. Well done Jags. Sounds like a good performance and could have been more. Other results going our way could get us back in the race

Graham will not be dropped. He is the captain. When fit, Sneddon, McMillan, Milne, Aero, Neilson, Fitz, Lawless and Graham are guaranteed to start. That just leaves 3 in midfield from Banzo, Stanway,McInroy, Alston and McBeth. Historicaly Dools doesn’t make unforced changes

Efficiently getting rid of the deadwood. Now let’s see some new faces

As long as we win it doesn’t matter if it is a trend

Graham is the captain. He will not be dropped.

Neilson could also have picked up a red card just after their first goal. Could easily have ended 9 v 10

But not unreasonable

Take the 3 points and move on. Should have won more easily, but a win is a win

But every time we score from one, we immediately concede

The Queen’s sub Stuart. McKinstry. Any relation to Banjo ?

Phew. Feel slightly more comfortable now.

Mitchell again missing. Mcbeth on the bench

Think I called it

My thought was that say Hearts had offered him a PCA (they have been rumoured to be watching him) then maybe a deal could be done to take him early and maybe we get someone in return, or some better than average loans

On a similar thought, Jack has not signed an extension, I presume one has been offered, so I expect he will be off in the summer. Should we cash in now if we get an offer ?

Some interesting comments in the Summer signings thread, particularly around the quality of the recruitment at Raith. I don’t think that there is much difference between ours and Raith performance outside the last 10-15 minutes of matches. There was a recent thread that showed how the table would look after 80 minutes of every game and and we were doing much better at that point. Clearly we need to close out games better and we already know that the defensive unit is an issue I think we will probably stay 3rd from here to the end of the season, which is better than I predicted in the summer, so verdict is decent but could have been better and clear areas for improvement.

I wonder what the situation is with Mitchell ? He can’t be happy with the game time he is getting and it seems like a luxury to have 2 first team keepers. I wonder if he might be off and a young loan keeper brought in as cover for Sneddon who is clearly first choice
