Wow! 2-1. Samuels from great Sutherland cross. 

Hardy and Harper on for Mckay and Chalmers. 

Shane! 1-1!!

In right place after keeper spilled Mckay shot. 

Samuels on for Hyde. 

We need to do this the hard way. 1 down.

The Ref will not be getting top marks this week 

At least he didn’t send Chalmers off there….

Just need to put one in!

And keep Partick out!

0-0 half time. Pretty even game. We’ve had more chances but also looked shaky at the back at times.

A big 45 ahead. 

Our comedic defending is creeping back in. We’ve nearly self destructed twice at the back so far. 

Hyde on for Walsh after Walsh’s injury. Shame as Walsh had started well.

Some match up , tiffoney v Carson.

Carson needs to really be on his game as Tiffoney has had the beating of him this season at times. Whoever is wide right (Walsh or Sutherland presumably) needs to give cover too.

There is grass on the pitch but not seen all of it yet in the BBC build up. 

Allardice is back in the squad and on the bench tonight.

Strong team, but we need to handle Graham and Tiffoney better than we did in the 3-3 draw.

Walsh Welsh McAlear Chalmers

Mckay Sutherland

with MacKay, Harper, Allardice, Samuels, Hardy and Hyde on the bench.

No sign of Doran or Duffy.

Just want to wish our lads all the best for tonight's game at Partick.

I notice that despite it being broadcast on BBC Scotland tonight, it doesn't even feature on the list of today's fixtures on the BBC Sport website, whereas the important league match between Partick Ladies (playing away v Aberdeen Ladies), is included in the list of tonight's matches!

 

It is near the top of the list, after the Champions League semi final and listed as the Premiership Play Off.

Looking forward to this one. Hopefully the team starts like they did on Friday and bring a lead up the road for the second leg. 

Thanks for doing this. Good fun and fortunately not for real money given my form over the last few months.

Well done Scotty!

I will be back for more punishment next season.

The latest on this. Personally, whilst sad to see them relegated, their statement lacks plausibility in my opinion and they should just quietly accept their fate:

Not seen any today, but Joe Chalmers scored an own goal as Dunfermline confirmed their place in the relegation play off last night. 

Picking this thread up but focussing on his football after his recent performances and him winning the Players’ Player of the Season Award last night.

He seems to have gone from strength to strength in the wide right role.

His effort can never be faulted and he seldom gives possession away.

Looking at the BBC stats, which exclude Challenge Cup games, he is our highest scorer (11) and has had the most assists (6).

I know Mckay’s 5 Challenge Cup goals mean he is our overall top scorer, but Sutherland has played a part in 17 goals this season.

He got some criticism during our bad run, but has come through that strongly and, in my opinion, his contribution is under rated by many fans.

I’m not sure when his contract expires (was the extension he signed just for this season?). If he is out of contract this summer, I hope we are speaking to him about an extension.

It is. He played one cup tie for Liverpool but got injured after joining Accrington last summer so never played for them before joining us on loan.

He is a lively player and hopefully the goal will be the first of many.

He even won a couple of headers last night despite being probably the smallest player on the park.

Great start to the regular season, fantastic finish.

Indeed.

19 points from our first 7 games.

21 points from our next 21 games (including 6 in 11 at the height of the slump).

19 points from our last 8 games.

Had we turned 4 of the draws into wins we’d have pipped Killie on goal difference.

All irrelevant now, as we have our most important games in recent years to prepare for. 

You were right to ask the question but fortunately our form has picked up at the right time.

Who knows if we will get through the play offs but at least we have given ourselves a chance.

Partick seem to have gone off the rails, but we cannot assume we will beat them.

If we do, by the time we play Arbroath their players will be well rested so we will be underdogs despite our record against them this season.

I’m cautiously hopeful but prepared for disappointment.

Arbroath @ 1.80 please. 

Wow, I’ve finished with a win! That’s been a long time coming.

My first season doing this, and good fun despite my predicting skills being woeful!

Thanks MrCaleyjag.
