I’ll abandon my usual travel method of running down the road naked, and instead walk at a sensible pace while fully clothed.

Get the Cowdenbeath fog machine on!

Ok, NOW I’m worried

I thought it was a reasonable question... but you're Bounty get some complaints.

Thanks all.

My JHS seat is slightly apart from the centre of the stand, and there’s no sticker on it to say it’s reserved.
Is that the case for everyone or is it just me? Hard to tell because I’m away from most ST holders.
Every week there’s someone in my seat. I can usually sit nearby but a) there’ll come a time when I can’t and b) I could be nicking someone else’s seat.
Just wondering if it’s an oversight or something I’ll need to address myself (by making an official-looking sticker of my own
)

I’d like to see us start Coulibaly as I think he’s more likely to create a chance for himself to score,more than Doolan or Quitongo will. Would like to see Slater and Bannigan ahead of a real Def Mid because our defence needs every bit of help it can get. Thought defensively Slater and Bannigan worked so hard,cutting out any space for through balls to their strikers etc but at a cost going forward. Seen the manager telling the sitter to sit(surprise)and not cross the halfway line at times. Thought it was heading for a 0-0 but a set piece killed us again.
Ps just a pet hate of mine but would love McGinty to kick the ball up the park a bit more instead of out when sometimes there seems to be time to keep it in play
Re McGinty: In the GC interview with Si Ferry he talks about how he was always taught “height and distance” aka “jist get rid”. Then when Tony Mowbray was his manager he was encouraged to actually use the ball by getting it to a team mate.
McGinty is the absolute king of “height and distance” just now. Really hope it gets coached out of him.

When you play a front three you need your midfield three to not only be a strong unit, but also capable of passing to the front three to start attacks.
Bannigan, Spittal and Slater are not a unit that will do this. Bannigan needs support. Too many times did he play the ball and then pick up the return. He needs McCarthy in the centre beside him.
I am not filly convinced that Slater is improving the team, he does play a few nice balls but he is guilty of too many sideways and backward balls.
Storrer in his 12 min showed both his good side and his bad side yesterday. Some nice forward passing but also a silly late tackle. He played well against Celtic in the cup, apart from the late tackle. He would be my third midfield player if he could calm his temper.
Slater was excellent earlier this season when he had Gordon playing behind him, allowing him to be more creative. Someone behind me commented on how his every first touch is negative and I thought that was spot on. He’s always veering backwards or sideways at first.
i think we’re really missing Gordon or another natural holding midfielder.

I didn't make the game today but my reaction was pretty much "oh well, we lost again". You have to wonder if the players are in the same frame of mind as we have now lost 5 in a row. We've only scored 1 goal in that run.
I suppose what bothered me about it was that the players have given the impression that’s their attitude for at least six months now. At least the fans were angry about losing before. Now we seem stuck in the same malaise. That’s really worrying.
-
There was no anger at full time, just “oh well, we lost again”. Its maybe down to giving GC time but there’s an acceptance around us that’s really worrying. The walk out from the JHS to the road was eerily quiet.

Copy the Man Utd fan set up and shout attack attack attack at games now instead of the score when we want song? Might work
I always felt the “come on Thistle” song was a slightly more polite version of this.

Scobbie do? Or Scobbie don’t.

I’m actually interested to see what he’ll do in that area. Guys like Melbourne, Scobbie and even Jeffries or Sena have had as much chance to impress the manager as any of this season’s mainstays.
Ah well, he kept the back four after all.

Looking forward to seeing GC's first team selection, I'd be shocked if he doesn't make at least 2 / 3 changes to last week's starting 11...
Back 5 will be the same as it's been as we are short of options there, but other than that it could be anything.

“Yeah, he’s got that in his locker” after a player does something.
Well obviously. He just did it.

Good interview with Gary Caldwell on STV tonight.
Not sure if this is all of it https://stv.tv/sport/football/1431916-gary-caldwell-thistle-promotion-task-one-i-ll-thrive-on/

Bannigan and Slater were both guilty of being ponderous on the ball in central midfield, time and again. That’s where we lost the game, I feel. Neither side had someone with a bit of dig to dictate the play but DU had enough cohesion moving the ball forward that they could capitalise on it.

Thought Scott Allison spoke well yesterday. If he can motivate and organise the team today, then wouldn’t be averse to giving him a little longer, given the quality (or lack thereof) of the candidates linked so far
I agree. Had a bit of steel about him but was also positive.

Haven’t seen much chat about how dire the ref was. County got away with countless pushes in the back of our players, though our tactic of pumping long balls to our (much shorter) players didn’t help. He also failed to give us a load of other decisions in the first half, hence the booing at half time, which I think was directed at him rather than the team/manager at that point.
They were certainly much more streetwise* than us.

Weird comment from Fox in this interview, saying hopefully the Jags fans will turn on the team.
It'd be nice to prove him wrong.
