Group B: Dundee United, Partick Thistle, Falkirk, Peterhead, Spartans

[colliedug]

Let's go do a professional job on Spartans albeit as proven with their previous games it won't be easy but we should have enough in the tank & let us get by the first hurdle of many this season.

In Dools we trust

I was a bit harsh on Harry Milne's performance last week, neglecting to remember he missed a fair chunk of last season with injury.

Hopefully, with another game under his belt we will see productivity down both wings, to tee up whoever is playing the #9 role. Dowds suspended. Robertson and McMillan not ready either.

Need to do better in midfield, in terms of possession and positioning. 

Mitchell will be back in goal, so hopefully that will help, with moving the ball quicker and more accurately,from back to front.

Jimmy Craigen seems to have fitted in well at Spartans. No doubt he will get a nice welcome but no points come the final whistle.

It's going to be another tight one. Jags to edge home 2-1.

Managed to get the stream working after the first half hour - it’s been all Thistle but with no cutting edge or actual chances created. Looks like Williamson had a great chance earlier but took a horrific first touch.

This is where the drama is.

Regardless of the fact he scored Brian Graham should never be on penalties.

Tomi Adeloye has a shot handled in the box and BBG dispatches the resultant kick, with aplomb.

Must be on a solid 40% conversion rate now?

[oneteaminglasgow]

I know he scored, but I think I’d sooner have almost every one of our other players take a penalty 

[JagsCG]

Fantastic that he scored and he clearly has some amount of bottle, but I’m amazed he was allowed to hit that. Still at least we’re through. Hopefully gives club/Doolan a bit more in the way of finance for the last few weeks of the window.

Very very satisfying and very very funny that we are through and Falkirk are out given the OTT celebrations of their fans last week.

[jagfox]

We seem to have a decent record in qualifying from these group stages.

No drama here. Kept it tight to get the Falkirk fans in a frenzy like they were last week!!

[Fuctifano]

Craigen knows where the heart lies, that shot from Adeloye was going over the bar and it wasn't a deliberate handball but his hand was away from his body so under the current horrific handball rule it's a stonewall penalty and (second) yellow card.
