faraway saint Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 Not quite a dead rubber as its important we keep some momentum from the good victory against Aberdeen, a game we, seemingly, had no chance of winning. Quote

I agree, but,.. Maybe McLeish should think about playing some of the youngsters, especially up front, to give some in our squad a rest with the play offs in mind. Quote

I can see some worth in that approach but not for me as another defeat could see us in a poor frame of mind and give Thistle more hope than they have. In saying that, we could lose anyway so what will be will be. 🤣 Quote

Certainly one youngster among five changes so, here's hoping it works out. Quote

elvis Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Last 3 home games 6 goals lost so far down our right hand side Thistle will 100% target us down that side. Quote

faraway saint Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Quite hard to believe we're 0-1 down. But when you're down at the bottom things tend to go against you. Quote
faraway saint Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Douglas just misses a sitter, got to hit the target. Quote
faraway saint Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Saints 1-1 Dundee Utd, well deserved. 69 mins Quote
faraway saint Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Young Douglas goes off to nice applause from the support, looked lively. Quote
faraway saint Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Saints 1-1 Dundee Utd, final score. Played quite well overall, especially in the second half. Got to be feeling better about the two games against lower league opposition. Quote
1877-Saints Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Partick Thistle have nothing to fear based on how we are playing. Nice to stop the rot at least Going to need 2 of our best performances since Christmas to stay in top flight Quote

1877-Saints Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 23 minutes ago, faraway saint said: Have you forgotten the last game already? 🤣🤣🤣 No, but as we have not lost for 2 in a row we have stopped the rot. Doesn’t change the fact we will need 2 of our best performances since Christmas to ensure we stay in the top league You are way too quick to jump on people’s posts Quote

Young Douglas looks decent, not scared to have a shot. Think it was 5 shots at goal with 4 on target. the other youngsters looked decent also. Quote

Aye, like I said earlier, when you're in our position the only luck you get is bad luck but encouraging for the Thistle matches. Quote
guinness Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Last twenty minutes we had more shots at goal than in the last three m onths. All the young boys did well. However they will not feature in the next two matches . We need to get back to how we were in the cup ties to survive in the top League. Whether being in the top League with VA R and the arse cheeks is desirable is another discussion. Would not kill me to be in Championship apart from the Friday night matches. I have seen us win 5 championships. You cannot do this without being relegated. You need to decide if you want a tilt at a title or an attritional season trying to survive in the top League. More and more of the teams are being backed by America n owners it is becoming almost impossible to survive for long against teams writing off millions of pounds losses every year. Perhaps being a yoyo club is not the end of the world. Quote

Except we are not yoyo club....for our stabilty and financial well being we cant go down .... so hope we get thru this and appoint a good coach and find some goals...we will get 400- 500k for Gogic off Dons.... we can't have another season with less than a goal a game .... maybe look to the championship cause signing 6th tier English pish ain't working Quote
