I can’t see McCabe going this season unless there’s a ridiculous offer on the table. He has a young family and made it clear that he didn’t want to move too much for that very reason. He’s young but so was Kevin Thompson who hasn’t had a sniff anywhere else. It can all change pretty quickly if you move too soon.

The Big Relegation Thread
Diamond1924 replied to Lex's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Wouldn’t be so sure. St Johnstone and more specifically Levein didn’t have a clue on how to play us in the cup. It was fairly easy. If partick beat us in the quarter final the I could see them going all the way. -
Come on now, I think comparing us with Stenny is a bit of push. In all honesty? The majority of the fans from the 90’s are probably deed. I remember there being a contingent of oldies who must’ve been in their late 60’s/early 70’s back then who are most likely no longer with us. Don’t get me wrong, we can still pull in 2.5k for a big cup game or playoff push so there are more out there

A culmination of things. Moving to Broadwood when the new stadium was being built put a few off. The 10 year stint in league one watching absolute garbage didn’t help either. It’s only really since McCabe’s tenure that our support has crept up slightly. Just like every other club in the central belt, we’re constantly competing with the ugly sisters to encourage younger and new fans to come along. The club have done really well to move away from the ‘section b’ image that every other club in the country has of us. Hopefully better days to come

Scottish Championship Team of the season

The goaly situation is really concerning. Teams will just know to put crosses in as Humphrey will just watch them float across his box. Such a disappointing bit of business

Sliding into the Premiership
Diamond1924 replied to Fletchers Saucy Manbun's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Congratulations DUFC. You made it hard for yourselves in a league of 9 ‘diddy’ teams but more than deserved the league -
Time to focus on the playoffs now and get our squad back fit. If we get Ballantyne, McCabe and Frizzell back then we should have enough to compete. The squad today was bare thin and it showed

Donnelly and Watt were the first two names of two half decent strikers that came to my head. Just thinking out loud I suppose

Watt and Donnelly were the first two names that came to my head but sure, Ryan, Russel and Prunty are all worthy mentions

I think in recent history the only other standouts are Ryan Donnelly and Tony Watt? Donnelly was more of a half a season wonder but everything he touched went in the back of the net for a while

I would still opt for Todorov over Gallagher. The big man isn’t quick but his hold up and link up play has improved massively since the new year and causes defences all sort of problems with his height. For a big guy he’s not particularly strong but is way more effective than Gallagher has been this season.

Nah it’s not bizarre - weirdo behaviour having the captain of your team pass the armband mid game. Looked like the change of leadership made a big difference anyway

Final positions, playoffs and such...
Diamond1924 replied to TxRover's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I hate when other fans give this excuse but each game against Ayr we have been absolutely stinking. Obviously Ayr did something to stop us but the majority of your goals have come from individual defensive errors. Of course you need to put away the chances and Dowds did just that so fair play
