whats your views on largs chances of survival with these "play your mate" managers at the helm!

Dont score enough goals but always seem capable of producing a few results and i think they will probably do that again and keep their heads above water.

For some reason we've not had a chance to play them yet this season in the league, but the matches between Largs and Clydebank may prove vital to see if either can avoid the drop - I've heard decent things about Largs in their style of play, apparently they try to play a nice passing game, but if it doesn't yield results then it matters not how nice the football is at the end of the day.

Agree with that , anytime i have seen them they have looked a decent side . Some excellent player's in there team IMO and a good spine stephen connick , Walton, Mcclure , guy lindsay up front. They may not score many but i think they will dig out a few results and avoid the automatic places anyway.

Not having a go but I assume you have an issue with Pat and Danny since you have joined today and then posted this......who are you referring to as 'play your mate'?

Anyway, in answer to your question, if we carry on playing the way we did yesterday then I would imagine we will finish in the bottom three although have a feeling it will be a play-off rather than relegation - 2nd half we were played off the park by a team a league lower than us who fully deserved their victory and good luck to them in the next round. We were dire yesterday and interesting that someone mentioned we play some good passing football because there certainly wasn't yesterday - punt up the park and hope for the best.

I do feel we have some good players but too lightweight in the middle of the park - I think we need a solid, hard tackling midfielder who can break up oppositions play and start our own...probably contradicted myself after saying no football played yesterday but got to win the ball to start your own attacks.

Going to be a difficult session but can hopefully see us scrping through via a play-off or even finishing just above the play-off position.

Points on board count for a lot in this league . Would rather have say 20 points like the roy and ashfield have than 10pts like largs with 4 games in hand.

no issue with them just dont agree with gault playing ahead of any of the other midfielders, plus d gaults recored for relegation is shocking

Don't disagree with you ken, certainly hasn't set the heather on fire since he arrived.....seems to show more passion shouting at his own fans when criticised than he does motivating his players on the park.

In fairness, Gault wasn't playing yesterday and we were no better in midfield.

last game Gus played was away to Cumnock on the 19th november last year - hardly what u call "nearly every week" - he has only played 13 out of 22 competative games

yes i do agree that he isnt up to the premier div. but with the injurys we seem to have this year every player counts when u dont have the cash that some of our opponents have to throw around

They need to buy a Goalscorer to move up the table 7 goals scored in 9 games not going to. Keep you up.

i think theyve got good strikers just no creativity or maybe it is the management whats ur view smaug

[theweepieman]

It has been a strange season,stop start with the weather. A more thorough and dedicated manager than Pat in the league in my view would be hard to find. I believe with the weather and injuries that it is been difficult to find a first choice 11. As for the strikers they need a wee bit of service, if they get this I feel that they have goals in them.

I would rather have points in the bag than games in hand, but we are where we are. We just have to get behind the manager and the team, yes it is going to be hard but I am sure we can do enough to stay up.

dont think there is anything wrong with wee Pat remember he is the guy who has given us our best ever finish in the league ever
so in my opinion he should be given the benefit of the doubt & i dont think he is doing a bad job - i dont agree with all his choices but i bet even the Talbot fans dont agree with every starting 11 that Tucker puts out !!

as Theweepieman says injurys have scuppered Pat most of the season , dont think we have had same 11 available 2 weeks in a row - but im reasonably confident that Pat will grind out the results we need after all that is what we r good at

It depends who your opponents are for the 4 games in hand (in your example). If they are double headers against Meadow and Petershill, then not good. However if relegation 6 pointers against Clydebank and Cumnock/Kilbirnie, then the chances of staying clear of the drop increase.

I am hoping Largs stay up. Pollok as well.

I'd be delighted if both went down, it would save us!

I know that....but there are some other teams down the bottom with us.....

[bc57]

Largs were not impressive on Saturday against Lanark. We have the poorest scoring record in our division, yet managed to score 3 away and it could have been more.

[juniorwriter]

Have to agree with the majority of the posts that although we're struggling atm pat should be given a chance to turn things round..

Having said that we were terrible on saturday and it looks as though the squad needs freshened up.. Not sure if theres money to spend but a few fresh faces might do the trick?

Think we have too much quality to go down but i am sure other teams will be thinking the same.

True.

Ideally I'd like us and Pollok to stay up, apart from a good day out over there, it's a guaranteed 3 points for us.

I see largs are struggling for scoring some goals at the moment. I know this lad jasper played for largs thistle before but i think he could do at job for them at the moment in terms of goalscoring. I know he is playing in lower divisions but he is a terrific worker and good team player and has been scoring a lot of goals for fun at the moment. Just wondering if anyone can agree with me on this topic?

[coaching badge]

the first time he came to thistle he was just starting junior football an inexperienced. Hes strong quick and hold up play is very good for a small lad and i think this time round he could play for a team in a higher division. His game has changed over the past couple of season and has now established himself as a good junior player

[ken67]

i really think largs would benefit from a change of management possibly bring in someone who can bring the best out of them like brian heron hes had some of the boys at the port and got them playing above there capabilities whats your views on this?? i fear the worst if no action is takin ASAP
