Harry Kinnear Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 So which of your fucking diddies are we going to get from you this summer then? Got an Italian keeper you may be interested in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebairns Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It is still in our own hands. If we had been offered that when McKinnon was appointed. Every one of us would have said ' will take that ' So lets keep out position in perspective. We must win our 3 home games. No but's, what if's. Our whole season hinges on these home games. If we get 2 points from the away games, well that's a bonus. Still in our own hands?Thistle 6 games to play 18 pts maxUs 5 games to go 15 pts max Am I missing something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'd be less concerned if the other teams weren't playing well, however Morton who were in freefall apparently outplayed Ayr away and should have won, partick seem to be dominating teams and going for wins, alloa have been playing above themselves all season and continue to do so. that leaves queens who were on a terrible run but have now beaten United away and drawn with us in their last two. they also have the dobbie factoras big a game as ours against alloa is the queens Morton game not sure if I want a draw or one to pummel the other.everyone knows while we are hard to beat now our average points per game is dropping with so many draws. one loss in 12 and where we are in the league still shows that.Saturday will be very squeaky bum time, heaven help us if alloa get the first goal and we need to chase the game. hopefully we are the ones that get an early goal and we push on as opposed to defend the lead. it won't be for the fair hearted that's for sure we need as many fans to turn out as possibleGiven that we no longer have a game against Queens, do we not want them to beat Morton and keep them in the mix and hope we can beat them too? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 If we lose to Alloa we're fuckedWhy? Would you not fancy us matching Alloa in the last four games of the season? That’s what defeat on Saturday would mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We knew in December that to be certain of safety, we were going to have to win 8 of our 18 remaining games, and maybe draw a few more. So far, we have won 4 and drawn 7. We were briefly ahead of the curve, but not now. Those 18 games split readily into 3 groups of six games where we needed 9 points from each group of six games in order to be clear of trouble. The first 6 games gave us 11 points ....ahead of plan. The second 6 games gave us a big drop to 7 points, but put us bang on target with 18 points from 12 games. My concern is that McKinnon stayed cautious because we had some unexpected points in the bank from the first 6 games. He no longer has that luxury, and now he has little choice but go for it. We MUST find another 8 points in the next 5 games.I was there last night and I was very much of this opinion before last night. If we can’t beat Morton and Alloa at home we will deserve to go down but it is nowhere near certain we would go even if we did not win both or either or none. The reason I say that is the whole league is completely unpredictable now. Everyone is beating everyone else and no one should be frightened of playing anyone else. QoS beat DU and had about two shots on goal target last night against us. Ross County lose to Alloa then pump ICT who have looked as good as anyone since Christmas. Ayr cuff Dunfermline, Partick cuff Morton, Morton draw with Ayr and by all accounts should have won. We draw at ICT and they hardly have a shot on goal. It is utterly unpredictable now. On us we as so difficult to play against. Yes it is negative but our defence is playing out of its skin and we won’t let anyone have three points easily. I think I am now of the opinion we will probably just about scrape home. I just felt a real togetherness last night and our support was brilliant again. The players are giving it everything. Ok the quality is not brilliant going forward but the two in front of the back four were superb last night. Both are very experienced and I think know what it is going to take to get over the line. Alloa are going to have to play out of their skins to beat us Saturday. Just can’t see them getting anything cheaply from us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really should be the playmaker beside the likes of osman. Instead hes getting played as the front of the diamond which isnt his position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
