How much would we have to pay for KDK, I’d chuck everything at getting him. What a player.

Get more people to sign up to Bairn4life imo

[AL-FFC]

Looking at the table win next week we jump to 8th and if the fifers get beat of Caley then takes us to within a point of them

[Bairn Necessities]

I quite fancy Morton for a cheeky bit of sliding down the league.

Shitey manager and look vulnerable.

Only 4 behind them, after gifting them 6 & we've been nothing short of abominable this season!

Oh, how they must  now be feeling the heat, with the Bairns & Jags suddenly finding form?

In an ideal scenario i really would like the Pars and Thistle to be relegated but till we are out the woods take it one game at a time but looking at the league between the bottom and 5th there's only 9 points which results depending isnt that much.

[Long Suffering Bairn]

What a great result!  Couldn't asked for more.  Delighted and more hopeful now.

Having watched both us and Ayr play ICT, the thing that stuck for me was that both Ayr and ourselves gift wrapped two goals for ICT. Four big mistakes in two games.

But for those gifts, ICT would have lost both games as they didn’t do enough to pick up the four points without them. I guess today Partick didn’t hand them the same sort of gifts, and won the game.

Those mistakes were ironed out today, and in the Edge, we may have a player who does the biz for McKinnon. If we can build on that, then we just might get a bit of decent momentum behind us.

I am absolutely fucking seething that Paton is still on our roster let alone starting

Agree. Think he flatters to deceive, at best, and wouldn't have him near the team. Off the pace, constantly,  and struggled to keep up with anyone running at him ( ie past him)  today, and his "passing" was often more hit and hope then look to blame someone else when it didn't come off (which was a lot)... Nah, not for me.   Don't see any positives in him. Not remotely close to D K-D on any level - now there's a boy that can play.

Thought Paton was lucky not to see red, when getting a yellow for kicking the guy up in the air.

[PG.Colossus]

Really don't get some people digging to find negatives in today's performance. Paton did the job asked of him well. End of.

When McKinnon came to us I asked McBookie to give me odds on us finishing above Morton. They didn't.

Jarvis not even on the bench yet.. 

Jarvis won't be up here until Monday. I'm not sure why but it was always planned that way. I was told last Tuesday that he was a target but that if we got him he wouldn't be here until the following week.

Delighted with the result today. The "journeymen" signings that folk criticised McKinnon for making seem to be coming good. Dixon has been superb since we got him, Edge won MOTM today and even the maligned Osman came onto a game.

The jewel in the crown for me is DKD. I'm now hoping that County win the league, splash the cash for an assault on the Premiership and decide they don't need him. The boy is a player.

On a side note, Mark Waddington did hospitality today and had Stephen Dobbie's top with him. After being questioned as to why it turned out that SD was a big help to Waddo when the two of them were at Blackpool together, hence why MW presumably asked for his shirt after the game.  I thought it showed a nice human touch between the two players.

 

[Bigbrbairn]

With DKD out next week we have Waddington to fill the role. He will be eager to play well and get back into the team. Would also like to see one of the new strikers start with Zak as Alloa is a tight park more suited to the long balls

My sentiments exactly PG. I thought all the boys done well today and just want to enjoy my Saturday night for a change.

Four points between the bottom four and Morton could well be in the mix as well if their usual late season form kicks in.
Biggest reason for optimism is that we are literally a new and vastly improved squad (we even have a quality keeper) with decent options on the bench when needed.
Thistle also look to have improved though the manager is a cock, Alloa are having a bit of a wobble and could really be in trouble if we take care of them next week and both the Fifers and the diddies have inexperienced managers with modest squads.
It’s not going to be boring!

Outstanding.

[Guest]

February is going to be a hell of a month. Alloa away, Ross County away, Dundee United at home.

Dont know what the new expectation should be. A month ago, it was probably three points at most, but now? Obviously RC and DU are the big budget boys, and I am sure DKD won’t be allowed to play against RC, and the Edge will be out versus DU.

Don’t think we will win all three, but three points next week has to be a realistic target, and one more “shock” win against any of the other two would be fantastic. Hopefully no less than 4 points, and anything above that would feel like a wee lottery win.
