Lindau Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Need a quick bounce back, given the three fixtures that follow this one. Think Archie may give Saturday's side a chance to redeem themselves but with maybe Nesbitt dropping to the bench. Might be time to give Ryan Edwards a shot to see if he can command a place, but probably more likely to be Sean Welsh. Hope to be £6 out of pocket at full time, courtesy of BBs excellent sponsorship plan, but reckon it will be £2 maximum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Our next 4 games are against the top 4 in the league as it stands today.No easy games but if we are to get anything out of these games we cant play like we did on Saturday.We played well last Tuesday if we can play like that again we can get at least a point against St.Johnstone.Imo Amoo deserves a start has looked lively when he has came on in last few games.

Members Willjag Posted March 1, 2016 Members Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I think Amoo is one of these players that will always be good as an impact sub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 A win tomorrow will pay for the reinstatement of 35m2 of the Firhill pitch. Get the players told Archie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Good results tonight. A win tomorrow and we'd be looking very healthy. Kilmarnock result great for us. We now have 4 games in hand over them again and are 3 points ahead with a +16 goal difference over them. None of our extra games are easy ones but we ought to be capapble of picking up some points from them and if we do get into a safe position. A safe position of course - with the league being so tight - might take us close to top 6 place but I'm not wanting to consider that until we have a few more points on board.

Vinnyjag Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 A point tonight would also be decent.We play St J, Hearts and Aberdeen before Killie play again so any points we pick up will aid our cause, however if we don't get anything from these 3 games we will still be 3 points ahead of Killie albeit the goal difference won't be as good. Killie's next 2 games are Aberdeen away and Celtic at home before they play us, therefore we have a really good opportunity to stretch ahead over the next week or so if we can grind out a few points.

I would have liked Kilmarnock to get atleast a point. I'm not in the slightest concerned with them catching us, but it would have made catching Ross easier.

The sooner there are two teams isolated at the bottom the better, then we can look at moving up the table. Three points tonight would be massive!

Paulo Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Without sounding too dramatic, I feel like tonight's result might go a long way to deciding which side of the split we're looking at. A win and we get a boost going into a tough 3 games. If we lose, it would take an improbable run of results over the next few games for us to be in the top half. Not impossible, just improbable. A draw and we're none the wiser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in agreement with you but I'd love to think DD is correct. Perhaps when we look back over the season we'll be saying if only Killie and United picked up more points against the other six clubs around us in the league.

I hope he is right as well, but if we get beat tonight and United win, there will be more than a few teams looking over their shoulders nervously, including ourselves. We are more than capable of grinding out results, but on the other side we are well capable of throwing in a few shockers (Dundee, Dundee Und and Motherwell....all very recently) Still don't think we have played well since the Celtic game Edited March 2, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I know we don't get much from games vs Aberdeen, Hearts and Celtic. But we shouldn't go into them expecting zero. Other teams get points against them. I think all 3 teams below us have got points against them recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised to get anything on Saturday, but we are more than capable of getting something in our home games, especially the Aberdeen game, given that Rooney is out!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Still don't think we have played well since the Celtic game I think the 2nd half last week at Firhill was a good performance. Not splitting hairs as I sense that one 45 min spell means a good bit to morale. Otherwise the players could be thinking they haven't performed well for two months. If they play like they did in that half last week both collectively and individually we should be looking up the table not down. I gotta agree tho' we haven't turned in a 90 min performance to be too proud of since Parkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Archie's tactics, to me anyway, appears to be to keep it tight for the first 45 then become a bit more adventurous. We rarely ever win after conceding the first goal and we rarely get beat after scoring first. Couple of quick goals tonight would be a boost! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only teams we have not managed to take any points off this season are top 3 hearts and celtic . Of the remaining 9 the, we've beaten 6 and are undefeated against another. So far it's not dissimilar to last year's final report card and it's not a glorious record on a pathway to greatness, but it does suggest we are slowly engineering a competent, competitive squad for this level. However, we need 4 more wins to match last years tally. We could possibly achieve that before the split. That would be tangible progress. It starts tonight! COME ON THE THEEEEEESELLLLL!!!!

Big Col Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I really hope the players got a good kick up the arse after Saturday's woeful performance. With 3 really difficult games coming up, we need to go all out to win tonight. C'mon the Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
