Was going through our 16/17 goal of the season contenders seeing how they compare to this seasons'
Wee bit of a Danny Mullen love in if you lot don't mind
6:06 and 9:17
Apparently told those close to him he's buying a house in Livi soon and looking to settle down with his family - expecting his 1st kid soon. Not too far of a drive for him but I think the majority of our squad will get split between bottom 6 in the Premiership and the likes of Hardie and Halkett who have been incredibly impressive could squeeze into a top 6 team
Think it's a case of waiting and seeing what budget we'll have. Difference between the Championship and Premiership is huge - players like Cadden probably won't cut it if we go up so best to wait and see. The likes of Lithgow Pittman and Byrne are absolutely ready for the step up
Yep, all dates subject to last minute TV deals I'm sure - I'll wait for the SPFL to confirm before actually booking anything off. Going by their recent form I'll have it booked by Christmas
8/9 Premiership play-off semi-final, 1st leg
12/13 Premiership play-off semi-final, 2nd leg
17 Premiership play-off final, 1st leg 20 Premiership play-off final, 2nd leg
Get it booked off work, get the calendar cleared!
Just noticed that Hoppy must be close to our longest serving manager
Ray Stewart 1997–2000
Jim Leishman 2000–2003
Gary Bollan 2009–2012
David Hopkin 2015–Present
He'll probably fit in Penrice's old spot, we've missed him on that side since he went back. He seems like the player Hoppy wants Cadden to be for us, tricky and running at his man with pace + can hit a shot from distance. We're missing that kind of explosive winger who can beat his man and make something from nothing. It's one of the reasons St Mirren have been so successful with Morgan this year. How many games has he won this season for them? Certainly stepped up when they went down to 10 men against us at the start of the season and destroyed Jacko for 2-1 + 3-1.
Hopkin knows what he's doing, I think by now we owe it to him to just trust him and see what happens
Jack Hamilton banging the goals in for Berwick right now, wonder if he could make the step up for next season? Unless we get Ryan Hardie back - could always send him to East Fife for another step up. Haven't really seen Knox getting much talk lately, is Hamilton a better prospect?
and that gets your third bottom scraping away from relegation? No wonder there's financial mutterings going on around your club (and not ours for once!)
Really sad to see you guys lose today, was a massively fun day out for us when we won it. It must be hard to lose in that way especially but it's a great advert for the Sons getting to a cup final and taking that many there. It's insane to see that many fans travel to the game and hopefully you guys retain them and run the revenge train to relegate ICT. For some reason always had a wee soft spot for Dumbarton and liked to see them defy the odds each season in staying up.
Hopefully the great escape starts a week after our game
