We signed Scott Allan and never play him. I’ll give you a good keeper and a solid back four. Last year was the start of Bobby being phased out so we did usually have 2 wingers on the park And we have always played with 2 uptop before this year. McKenna has always played oft someone. Also Nouble and Dowds or Hamilton and Wighton. And aye Ryan McCord and Mark Whatley, Swankie and Scott Martin, Nicky Low and Chris Hamilton / Liam Henderson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game could well get decided in the final 10 mins of the match (same goes for the Cove match). This is going right down to the wire. Expect lots of tension, nervous players and very few goals. Also expect you to come on here after a pitiful 1-0 defeat claiming that we are good enough to hang with the likes of Manchester City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a miss little Chris has been this season as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of Morton at home he definitely won us that point. Any other matches ? Queens Park away both times for sure. He’s a wonderful goalkeeper and if you don’t think he’s the reason we aren’t already down then I don’t think you’ve been watching the team play this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes JT was aging but decent bit part player, yes LD was infuriating but I’d absolutely have him back instead of the guff we’ve had instead and craigen a solid dependable player. I understand they might of left for personal reasons or whatever but to not have replacements already in was ludicrous. took absolute punts on nobodys trying find a needle in a haystack and failed fucking miserably. Then come out in November with nobody in Scotland good enough to sign then signs 2/3/4 Scottish based players in January. we have got to where we are by signing the better available players from league 1/2, the odd player dropping down to PT football and solid loan signings and then just chucks that method in the bin. staying in the championship is the aim and quite right I never expected to be competing for the league again after last season but I’d thought we’d be floating around mid table maybe push for playoffs at most but they signings in the summer was disastrous and put us on course for the season we had. I don’t mind getting beat and being relegated but it’s the whole manner of this season. Terrible recruitment, awful tactics, terrible team selections (regularly) and in game management 5 sub rule should be banned from DC. Love DC for what he’s done and where he’s taken us but I’d not be against if he was to step away or be moved on but that next issue is who’s takes us further. Everything said here is spot on. None of the fantasist stuff you get from supporters to scared to criticise the team.

Lichtie78 Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 I've only just seen Partick's second goal back from last weekend - some really half arsed tracking back & covering. Infuriating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of saves he’s made in games we’ve drawn as meant we have gained a point and we’ve had plenty draws this season. Not saying he’s won us every point in the draws but definitely wouldn't have as many if it wasn’t for him. Been tremendous and we would absolutely be worse off if it wasn’t for him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston seems to have made several good saves in every game we’ve played and we can barely score a goal to save ourselves. In fact we’ve won 2 games by more than one goal, without him we would be doomed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been our best player this season by an absolute mile and should (even though we have lots of supporters with little football knowledge) clean up at the AFC awards on Saturday evening. The fact you are even challenging the point is bizarre to me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Tbf don’t think Stewart could’ve really done anything and I’d say Balde has to realise Ricky is 2 on 1 when the keeper gets the ball, even then Ricky was too busy wrestling with Brian Graham to probably even notice Tiffoney himself. Just a pish goal to lose. Also a goal we’d never score because we’d never dream of trying to keep the ball on the ground in and around the box… it actually is pretty hard to defend against who knew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Gatson done his job this season. Pulled off good saves and certainly was amazing in the morton game. Think we’ve missed a Chris Hamilton type player more than a Ryan McCord but without sounding like a broken record it’s a fucking striker we’ve needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
