Numbers_One_To_Eleven

I was poised to write “magnificent” on here when we went 3 nil up, glad I didn’t. I thought Hamilton did pretty well to be fair to get back into it but just glad we held on. Still work to do but I’m proud of this team.

That stand side linesman just went up the tunnel at the end instead of the usual standing with the other officials at FT. He is a diddy.

Looking forward to this - get in tae them!

I don’t know what “consolidation” means in a 10 team league, where only 4 positions mean definitely no change of league (even then 5th or 6th you might be vying for a promotion and feeling disappointed you missed out or 7th or 8th relegation and relieved you stayed up). “Consolidation” really means mid-table mediocrity, like 10th-16th in a 24 team league. All I’m basically saying is, it’s unlikely to feel like “consolidation” if we go up next season.

Yep, bracing myself for the Hamilton Accies juggernaut.

There’s realistic, then there’s this mentality. You’re 4 points off a play-off spot with a game in hand and you’re talking like mid table is inevitable. Heck, even a relegation fight could happen if you don’t pick up some form! You carry on salivating about playing Falkirk next season though.

Look, we all have minters (Hamilton looking to sign three of our players in January, Dylan Tait) so let’s not get too carried away. Big game coming up on the 17th, that’s it, so let’s see what happens then.

Consolidation, before the big promotion push next season yeah? Small-time doesn’t begin to cover the mentality of Airdrie and Morton fans.

So completely ruling yourselves out of promotion next season and already eyeing us up as opposition instead. Ladies and gentlemen, the award for the saddest post on P and B goes too ^^^^.

I agree. Sometimes i really like this thread and other times I can’t be arsed with it because it jumps all over the place.

Unbeaten LEAGUE run continues….

I’ll say one thing about Morton, they are the most boring club around. I get they’re a division above us but they always seem forever stuck in that 5-7th position in the league, in a 10 team league! Must be utterly mind-numbing supporting them.

As fans, I think it’s a nice bonus to enjoy this unbeaten run. Of course, winning the league is the priority though.

It is that bad in this one-off instance. McGlynn has had a shocker today, brain fart, call it what you will.

Wasn’t at the game myself today, how did McGinn play? That seemed like a baffling one to me for him to start. I think he has an important role to play coming off the bench for the remainder of the season but starting a game? Not for me.

I look at Liam Henderson, for example. Every game I see him in he seems to get a dull one on numerous occasions. He might be “fit” for the next game but I think to myself, could he be rested to get more out of him later in the season?

A lot of talk about playing our strongest 11 at all times. It doesn’t have to be quite as black and white as this. I mean, I think there’s a world of difference between starting a Mackie or an Allan who’ve had so little game time and an Oliver or Ageyman who have consistently featured. Sometimes a manager might look at a player (or two) that might need to be benched, for whatever reason, even in a winning side. Todays selection seemed to lack any real thought other than - it’s only Edinburgh City.

(Shouting from far away) My point is, I just don’t think he’s a shoo-in for a crack at The Championship if we were to get promoted.

Okay, I’ve f**ded right off and come back for more. Why?

I was one who said, after Airdrie, that he should be reviewed even if win the league this season. Things were going so well though, that I personally had changed my view on that. After today’s decisions, it’s back to a review for me. That sounds really fickle but I can accept a loss, today just reminds me of Airdrie levels of foolishness.

Was he really, for example, looking at Sean Mackie in training this week and thinking he was ready for a start against a fired up side? Or was it just a whim?

Wow

It can be a long season, tweaks to a winning team (1-2 underperformers replaced) might be necessary. Todays selection was inexcusable.

Yeah, and leaving Nesbitt for some point in the second half.

5 subs on at ht and hopefully dig ourselves out of a huge, self inflicted hole. A massive blunder by McGlynn here.
