stillresigned Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thanks to Sevco being rank and I have to say a very gutsy performance from Dundee we find ourselves at the bottom of the SPFL. Never a happy place to reside. We can console ourselves that in reality there is little difference between most of the teams out with Celtic. That said our next outing at Firhill is a fixture that becomes all the more important for us to take something from. I don't like jumping to conclusions, but our inability to beat Sevco is perhaps put into context by the fact that both Accies and Dundee have been able to beat them in recent weeks whilst we tamely submitted at I Rox as per usual. I make no claim to clarevoyance, but can only hope that the point we got last week at Tynecastle, spurs us on in much the same way a similar result did at a similar time last year. Either that or else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Made this point elsewhere, but it is beggars belief that we have gone 25 years since beating Rangers, whilst Dundee and Hamilton do it on consecutive weeks. Says a lot about our approach and nerve when facing them. Also for Dundee to get 5 shots on goal this evening, whilst we managed a mere 1 against Hearts last week suggests that we don't have the attacking creativity or aptitude to stay in this division as it stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 A bit obvious but December is a big month. I said elsewhere that after our terrible performance against Kilmarnock we have improved apart from the game at Ibrox.I would think if we can get 12points from our games in December we should still be in touch with the teams round about us. But If we only get 3 or 4 points we will be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) There doesn't seem to be the same overall confidence about the team's ability to pull themselves out of trouble this time around. The absolute inability to beat Celtic or sevco regardless of circumstances (and it has been absolute now for more than two decades) while other teams beat them at least sometimes partly reinforces the view that we just don't have it in us to compete at the highest level for any length of time. Â And yet most of the signings we've made of late look good..... Â Perfect occasion to prove all the doubters, including me, wrong!

G13 jag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 As It Stood. 30th November 2016  Team P W D L GD Pts Celtic. 12 11 1 0 27 34 Hearts. 15 7 5 3 12 26 Rangers. 15 7 5 3 3 26 Aberdeen 13 7 3 3 10 24 St Johnstone. 14 5 4 5 0 19 Motherwell. 14 4 3 7 -6 15 Dundee. 15 4 3 8 -6 15 Ross County. 15 3 6 6 -11 15 Hamilton. 14 2 8 4 -4 14 Inverness CT. 15 3 5 7 -8 14 Kilmarnock. 14 3 5 6 -12 14 Partick Thistle. 14 3 4 7 -5 13   I think we’ve been here before. Last season we had played better without getting the rewards. This season has been blighted by injuries. I’m hopeful we will move up the table once we have more players playing in their natural positions. Plus we have been picking up points apart from our visit to Govan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angry gaz Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 When Osman returns keeping him fit is going to be critical to our chances. Really hope we have enough money to bring in someone in January too. The likes of Ossie,Booth Eliot and Muzzy seem permanently injury prone now.

Knightswood Jag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Only 2 points off 6th place..... let's be optimistic ! We just need to go out and beat Hibs, I don’t care how much bigger their budget is, I don’t care how many more fans they have, just go out and WIN. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Harsh to say Christie and Booth are injury prone, both have bad injuries granted but disagree that either is injury prone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglas clark Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I am not at all sure I know what 'injury prone' means. Is it someone who gets kicked off the park by an opponent. It is someone who is fragile? Â Perhaps the experts around here could say why any football club doesn't have a reasonable responsibility of care for their employees? Â Partick Thistle appears, correct me if I am wrong, to have taken an adult and responible duty of care. Â So? Â Injury prone: I have the scars.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Frustrating that we can't get a win against the OF (sevco in particular) but of all games the loss at home to Killie is by far the most upsetting this season. Â Ibrox the other week was the same old story but I suppose back to back draws (over 90 mins) against that lot and a stonewall penalty away from a draw with Celtic show there's maybe a bit of improvement against the two of them. Whatever we've got a right to be miffed that two teams we'd be very disappointed to lose to can get wins against sevco and we can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 As long as we don't get detached and as we play the 4 clubs above us next month it gives us a good chance to climb the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 If we lose to Killie, Dundee & Accies we’re in big trouble, we need at least 6 points from those 3 games and pick some points up from the rest, Can’t see us getting anything from Celtic, Aberdeen or Hibs, we never seem to regardless how well we play. Motherwell seem to be flying and County who knows they are very up or down. I fear us finishing December with 2 more points than now due to our injuries, the intense schedule on a depleted squad and suspensions and fresh injuries kicking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Only 2 points off 6th place..... let's be optimistic ! Â That was last season, Jaggernaut - we are currently 7 point adrift if 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Don't feel we should be writing off any of our home games next month.It wont be easy but Hibs and Motherwell are beatable at Firhill. If we take the attitude we cant beat them at Firhill we might as well just say we are relegated now.As I have said before we should be looking for about 12points from next month,not easy but achievable.

Â I honestly don't think complacency is one of our team's problems. On the contrary I've seen a few signs of poor confidence levels now and again so I doubt your idea would be motivational. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELL Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yes it is harder this year ,teams around us in bottom six are fighting hard for every point .Think it is going to be a close one at the bottom  We need Aberdeen to win today. Kily are my fav to get relegated follow bye Ross , Hamilton ,Dundee . :happy2:As for thistle in Archie we trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Aberdeen 1 up at Rugby park.I know some say we cant depend on others but I will take all the help we can get.What is in our own hands is how we play and we have won our last 2 home games so lets keep that going and make Fihill a fortress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
