ICT are a decent side. . Had serious injury problems which have now eased. At least if we do play well we have a chance. Celtic or rangers I feel would beat us no matter our form unfortunately . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Now not having basically 7 guaranteed starters long term injured has definitely helped our revival. We're still missing Sutherland, MacGregor and Walsh, who arguably all start when fit. At one point we had, Sutherland, MacGregor, Walsh, Deas, Devine, Samuels and Allardice out for months. Our squad wins the Championship if those players are all fit all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me, it’s now descended into a deflection tactic. Folk who don’t want to criticise the management team now go, “but the semi-final!”. As I said, great we’re there - but it’s only really Ayr who were a team we shouldn’t really have beaten on our run there. If we didn’t have the ICT game in a couple of weeks, this monumental collapse in league form would be getting more scrutiny imo. Promotion is far more a priority than any cup run but we still can't hide the fact that getting to a cup semi has made a huge difference to the financial situation at the club. No semi final and no promotion would have been a real problem. Getting to the semi has at least eased the pressure on promotion being the be all and end all this year. How it's affected the players only they really know but there surely must be something in the fact that whilst our league form since east end park has fallen off a cliff our performance against Ayr was very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 10 clean sheets in 34 league games. Another way to frame it, we’ve conceded in 24 out of 34 league games. 3 v Clyde 2 v Peterhead 2 v Edinburgh 1 v Montrose 1 v Alloa 1 v Kelty For context, that’s only 4 more than the season before, probably our worst season ever. The winner last night certainly reminded me of last season’s team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's very much not impossible although some folk on here would make you think we'd need to get past real Madrid and then man city in the playoffs. Airdrie being held up as some sort of superstars considering in the last two games we've beaten them comfortably and then really should've beaten them at home despite our recent dip in form. After tha it would be Hamilton, Arbroath or alloa it would seem if we get that far. We beat Ayr who are a far better side than either and alloa aren't exactly a team we should be fearing. We need to up our game but it's hardly an impossible task to see us still getting up. You've only beaten us once this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no chance in hell we'd beat Celtic or Rangers in the final so we can forget winning it this season. Next Saturday gives us a decent chance of getting to the final but it will be the first time I've gone thinking we really do not have one single chance in hell of winning it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner last night certainly reminded me of last season’s team. As I said that to me is the biggest concern and far more of an issue over how many strikers we have out. Donaldson was excellent for the first half of the season and then has lost form completely for no obvious reason. Mackay has done okay but again struggles without a steady partner. Mackie did well with Mackay at the start of the season but isn't fit and Watson didn't even make the bench last night so there's not many options outside dropping Henderson back and his form before moving into midfield wasn't exactly brilliant. Very little room for manoeuvre if Donaldson doesn't regain form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, a FT team, have gone a goal down in exactly half of the games we have played this season in L1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin ritchie Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Was in the south stand for the first time in ages last night, has anyone had the misfortune of sitting near a mouthy fake tanned 20years oldish female who by the way she was talking she seems to work or volunteer for the club/foundation/junior bairns. She spent the whole game calling the players Stephen,Kai, Gary etc. According to her the players are overworked, the fans are scum for criticising/booing, it was all the pitches fault for our poor performance(same pitch for both teams) and she was even arguing with 60/70 year old fans...she also wants our play off games moved to Broadwood since it has a better pitch.....what an eye opener last night was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 First post in ages. I’ve not read anything on here in months so not sure what the general consensus is these days! Hopefully Mcglynn isn’t getting pelters, yes he’s not perfect but the improvement this season is still huge despite our current form. One more thing to say though, Donaldson is fucking shite! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have the cup semi final money to chuck at it also I imagine. If he stays then I’d be quite pissed off if we chucked any extra money at him(or any other manager for that matter). The budget we have should be more than enough and we still have a £400k gap in our finances so any extra needs to be put aside to ensure that is filled for subsequent seasons should we fail to generate extra income. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
