And Dutd beating Patrick

Doran on

Too early to panic though

12 shots, 2 on target

It was always going to be a long hard season

Good for a penalty if nothing else

Good to see an early tactics change

Jake hooked after what sounds like a shocker

I vote for fisher and doran on at half time,3 up front , all out attack!lets av it

Sounds similar to Saturdays second

Poor decision making in the final 3rd...Again !

Oam on sportsound...Not great but better than nothing

Anyone know the details of tomorrow's friendly that Richie referred to in Saturday's post -match interview

Thousands of noisy and unruly fans? At the TCS? Really?

Or perhaps as we are so wonderful: A bridge and a castle! Haha

And? It strikes me that there are three possible affiliations: caley, thistle and caleythistle. Whilst we shouldnt forget whence we came, we should look forward with an open mind

The club is an entity,not a badge or a name or a slogan. Its the CLUB that matters. This is all just an overreaction IMHO.

Yawn

One of the many joys of football! Thought vigurs had a stinker too, just opting for his more physical presence against the dirty ones

Exactly this

As has been said before, defo a bit of a reality check. Was clear we had most of the possession, but our flair players were stifled and none of the 'big names' had a great game, very much like our previous 'toughest-so-far' opponents-Dutd. Polly had a shocker, and let it play on him, as the game went on he was less inclined to chase down the ball after he gave it away. Tansy was playing deeper and deeper as the game went on, and although his vision and intent was spot-on, his final ball was far from clinical. McNaughton reads the game so well, is always in the right place at the right time, and is so calm under pressure; just a shame his distribution is a bit harem-skarem. if he can work on this, and have others in the defence drop back to take the ball from him once he invariably wins it, that will help. Stand-out moment in the first half for me was Mulraney giving the ball away at the edge of their box and tracking back, at fair pelt, all the way to the edge of our box to win the ball back in a strong challenge. I liked the desire to atone for his mistake. Was encouraging that our possession came from good quality, forward minded (on the whole) passing football. It was definitely frustrating as the second half wore on that we clearly were running out of ideas and therfore couldn't keep the pace up and the attacks stalled, allowing Partick to regain their shape. Also encouraging to see Richie go 'all-out' and throw on the extra forward, he cant be accused of throwing in the towel. **EDIT** Loved Drapes 'impact' when he came off the bench All-in all, not a great result, but my opinion of this league campaign has changed so many times already, i'm not going to lose much sleep over it. I think a 9th/10th place finish is possible, but i also think a 3rd/4th is possible! and i dont foresee a massive points gap between the two come the end of the season. We all knew it was going to be tough. What will help is a strong, convincing win over the wee team next Saturday. Drapes starts in place of Mulraney, Fisher and Boden both start up top, drop Polly in favour of the more physical Vigurs...with the pace of Mulraney coming off the bench... COME ON THE CALEY JAGS!!!!!

Any tips for parking ?

Copa de Europa please and thank you

I foresee this happening this season...
