westertonjagfan Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Happy New Year to all Jags Sweet. What a difference from Friday and it shows how tight the league really is. 'Happy Clappers' (aka 'Trusters in Archie') 1. Knickerwetters 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Massively important to kick on from this. IF we grab a top 6 finish, the clubs coffers could be seriously boosted with both Sellik and Sevco due to play at Firhill in the last round of fixtures!

Yip, a few of the knickerwetters/pantypishers or the 4.50 brigade after a defeat (as I prefer to call them) have disappeared or went very quiet. No surprise there. It's been happening every year since we came up. Fear not, they will be back the next time we lose two in a row telling us Archie's a dud, a one trick pony, etc,etc. Edited December 29, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 You are right GRE, but then our home record is only 1 point behind those of Killie, Inverness, Hamilton and Ross County. Of course if we want to kick on we need to be better than these teams, and a win on Saturday would see us jump up to mid-table in the home table.

1 John Lambie Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 As long as we have enough points come the split to not be involved in a relegation battle, I couldn't really care less where we get them from! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Perhaps they should change the rules so that the team with the worst home record after 20 games gets relegated. That would give the moaners something to get their teeth into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow & Redneck Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hope as many people as possible get along to Firhill on Saturday. The interesting thing is that 3pts against Killie will drastically change our trajectory and ambition going into the 2nd half of the season. Just a few weeks ago we would have been targetting survival going into the latter part of the season, however to be in the Top-6 going into the winter break would make a big difference.

Totally agree. Was nicely surprised at the crowd last night and it was great to see the North very busy indeed. Fair play to Dundee for the crowd they brought through when transport ain't that great. They must have had around 600-700 last night. Edited December 29, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindau Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Not sure what the relevance is regarding home form. All I am interested in is where we are in the league and doesn't the league look feckin wonderful today compared to a fortnight ago! If we pick up more points away from home so be it. The way we play and the players we have means it probably suits our style better playing away from home Edited December 29, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillresigned Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) A win on Saturday will be a huge endorsement of the way in which Archie and Shaggy have quietly gone about their business.

Woodstock Jag Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Sure, the home form isn't great, but to have the 4th best away form in the league at this point in the season isn't too shabby.

sandy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Aye WJ, it's a great week to be a Jag. I had a feeling we would come good. Still much of the season to go, but we have turned a corner. Roll on getting Muzzy, Fraser and Banzo back in contention for a place. Edwards and Barton surely already contenders for POTY.

jagfox Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 From last to sixth in a week. Great stuff. GRE has a point re: the poor home results and some sickening late goals conceded. So it was nice for a sizeable home support to witness a hard working victory. Bring on the Killie bazzas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we play and the players we have means it probably suits our style better playing away from home In a weird way it is possible that good away form and poor home form is better financially. After 3 good away performances we had a healthy crowd on Wednesday night. Dundee, having had a really good result on Friday, brought a good number as well. I am pretty sure that if we had had bad results in the previous 3 games, the home attendance would have been much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Is my memory playing tricks, or were we in the top six last season, for a very, very brief time? Not only would a win today put us in a very fine position going into the break, it would also send a clear signal to other teams that we are now a team that is hard to beat. All the best to Thistle-minded folk everywhere for 2017, from the Land of the Rising Sun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
