dl1971 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm pretty sure that Caldwell and the players are feeling distinctly uneasy being bottom of the league with 4 games to go. But as manager he HAS to somehow stay positive things. If he didn't nervous players could implode. I agree he doesn't come across with some of his comments, but what can he say realistically? Alloa game is huge. We need the fans to come out in numbers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloa game is huge. We need the fans to come out in numbers.... Something along the lines of, I know the fans will be anxious, but we do have the players to get us of the bottom of the league. Agree, hope we get a big crowd that gets right behind the team next week and all our remaining games as well. This time last season we thought that getting relegated to the championship was bad, we are now looking at possibly playing in the third tier next season. Time for Thistle players and manager to show us what they are made of . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Did Caldwell not say in his first month as our manager he wanted the players to feel comfortable in uncomfortable positions. I hope they are not feeling comfortable as we are in a very uncomfortable position now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are now 10th. That’s two places below when he took over, as the man trusted to get us promotion. Lose against Alloa at Firhill and we are in the deep poo.

Thistle88 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I don't like Caldwell and he wasn't who I wanted as Manager either .. but i dread to think where we would be at the moment if he hadn't improved the squad in January. I don't agree with a lot of what he has done but it's 4 games to go and he's not going anywhere. Archie would no doubt still be wanting to give the likes of Ntwambe etc a chance and stuck with our defensive duo Keown and Mcginty. Not to mention Cammy Canny move Bell. Don't like him but I have to say this is an absolutely crazy league it's so unpredictable it's unreal. 5 teams that could potentially finish bottom with 4/3 games to go. They need all the support they can get at the moment imo. We couldve ended up way Jim McIntyre also ....

laukat Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 There is a potential set of worse case results that leaves us stranded with only an outside hope of a playoff by next Saturday. If Morton beat ICT on Tuesday, Falkirk beat Morton on Saturday, QOS beat Dunfermline on Saturday and we lose to Alloa there will be a 4 point gap to Falkirk & QOS (really 5 given their GD) and 5 to Morton. If that happens all the teams above us know that they can take draws against the teams higher up in the league who will also probably take draws to conserve themselves for the playoffs. Best case by next week we are 2 points of the bottom and would at the very least have a winner takes all game against QOS on the last game of the season to avoid automatic relegation. Next week is huge. An absolute must win with huge pressure on our team because of the above. For Alloa they can afford to lose so don't have the same pressure. Pressure effects performances therefore league position matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
