I think he could even make a half decent striker... Wouldn't have done any harm to experiment with him in other positions during the pre-season friendlies.

Think Caley Stan's got his score prediction the wrong way round. The Dutch won't squander the chances that Macedonia did.

Wasn't even funny first time round... B)

Complete U turn there Scotty.... Was Birdog threatening you with legal action?

I'd agree with all that apart from the "squeak a win against Holland" bit!

Or interest from a bigger club.

I'd say Esson is a better keeper than Mark Brown... Good to hear TB pay tribute to him in the post match interview yesterday, although some might have thought that a tad ironic.

Me too.... He'd done absolutely nothing wrong in nicking a corner from that drop ball incident. I don't think whatever McFadden did in that scuffle merited a booking... Think it must have been something he said.

Isn't there a danger that the players nominated to cover for Lionel bloopers would very quickly become exhausted?

Good post Stan, but I would suggest our results were always going to improve from the moment Brewster departed - no matter who had been appointed to replace him. I agree he should be given till the end of the season in the hope that he can build a team capable of getting us back to the SPL... I don't think our finances provide us with the luxury of many alternative options.

The man with the non-Midas touch...

Yeah... and we were shot down in flames for it.

We got a win today, but thanks more to Ryan Esson than to TB... Hate to upset the TB Appreciation Society, but I'll never forgive him for dropping him for the last few games of last season.... Turned out to be extremely costly for ICT.

Feckin brilliant Ryan Esson!!! The man that Butcher dropped for the last few games of last season....

Nominate your penalty takers Tokely Munro Bulvitis Cox Gollabeck Please... not Barrowman or Rooney.

The way Esson's playing I'll be happy if it goes to penalties.

It's on 104.5FM as well.

Doesnt sound as if he as had a lot of service so you cant blame him Sanchez is a far, far more creative player than Barrowman... He doesn't hang around waiting for the ball to come to him.

It's been said before on these threads.... When Barrowman comes on it feels like we've gone down to ten men. :tonguecheek:

The substitutions helped PT more than us...

Agreed.... Sounds like they are letting Partick get back into this one.

Shame he'll miss the Holland game.

How's that TB's fault? He's the manager and is responsible for picking the team, and telling them what he wants them to do. yes i get that but why then the team that holds dundee off and then the next week gets pumped... Im sure the pre match brief would have gone along the line off.... Same again this week.... then the players go out and do a half arsed effort.... what makes that TB's fault. he can only ask them to play the same way,,,,, Yeah... fair enough, but some of our more optimistic fans might have expected him to make a few crucial tactical changes at half time, or made an inspired substitution or two as the game (c*unty) progressed... He just seemed to me to throw in the towel last Saturday. Maybe it is difficult to make an inspired substitution when you don't have any inspirational players sitting on the bench.
