The BBC report ?

First half caley couldn't find a way through the Alloa defence sitting deep. They had plenty possession and pressed Alloa when they had possession. Gifted the first goal but Curry took it well. Needed a second and a good hit by Trafford deflected into the net. After that caley stopped pressing and Alloa should really have got at least one goal; hitting the woodwork twice and calling Mackay into action. Machado third from close range from an excellent Storey cross. Same again next week would do.

Lovely jubbly....?

A disjointed performance today combined with a bit more effort from Partick resulted in nil points. It was obvious that the bit more effort from Partick would happen due to McCall taking over. I went to this game concerned that what happened would and unfortunately it did. But really thought that between the management and team they would not let that script be realised. I would suggest that they all believe the hype around McCall and Partick and was evident in the approach and performance.

First half was even and caley arguably slightly better chances. Incident at the start of the second half summed it up. Mccart dawdled on the ball, duly robbed and only ridgers to beat for Miller to score. #grim. Caley could not find a reply and done by a simple cutback for a third. Very disappointing viewing. Watching McCall and thistle fans celebrate was not great. ?

McCall was a good fit at Ayr and no guarantees that he will be at Partick. Caley would do well to focus on doing what they have to other teams in recent games. Ignore the hype. Hope big ridgers is on form for his 100th game. Another 3 points would be excellent return so far.

An investment opportunity...

Aye if Harry Kane scored a goal like Welsh's today the commentators would have been raving about it. His performances are setting the standard. This was also a very strong team performance. They work and fight for each other. Bit more composure and they can score many more goals. ?

Two fantastic strikes by Welsh and then Walsh. Could have been a few more as Queens goalkeeper kept the score down. Queens huffed and puffed but didn't create many chances. Job done. ?

Another 3 points will do just fine. Well done to Welsh, despite having missed his last penalty he had the confidence to put it down the middle. Only 2 points off the top. Get in ?

Morton sat deep to frustrate caley early on and despite lots of slick passing caley did not create many chances. Todorov shot that curled beyond the Morton keeper opened the scoring. This was followed by a great ball over the top from Welsh to Doran who slipped the ball under the advancing keeper. Miles Storey nutmegged keeper at the near post for the third. Very enjoyable match and could easily been five or six. Well done everyone involved. ?

Really good performance today. Todorov goal curled into the top corner - superb. Welsh different class. Looking good....

Hopefully give Morton the bums rush next week also. ?

Agree that Jamie McCart was superb all game. There was a time when people said we were predictable. Hats off to robbo as he has created options now. Well done to all as this was a team performance and they all showed skill, determination and application. Fantastic... ????

Looked like we tried to win it at the end and nearly did. More attempts on target required. A point and move on. Nice Friday night game against the Morton.

Another good episode. Like the focus on positive ideas- not ignoring obvious issues. Enjoyed the discussions around analysis of recent caley and opposition teams performances. The formations and how individual players are doing.

Storey shot quickly for his goal and that along with it appearing to dip mid flight caught out their keeper. Clever play. More of the same please...

A better team would have scored early against us as we started poorly. Linn was given way too much time to get his shot off for his goal. It was pleasing that we came from behind and won the game. There was two decent penalty shouts not given for caley- a handball and a foul on Keating. Hopefully back the win up with another at Dundee next time out. ?

Tansey posting on his Instagram wearing caley strip and looking forward to season ahead ? ?

Dundee Utd will obviously need to start getting money in having spent so much. Not entirely unexpected that they beat us. The nature of the defeat is highlighting our lack of workable system ie- midfield pairings/defensive frailty/clinical finishing. These have been evident in recent games and cruelly exposed today. Not insurmountable issues with the right attitude and motivation. Going to be a very interesting season and it will be important that we learn quickly and do not lose ground.

Optimistic that Robbo will enable Storey to flourish. Would be quite happy if tansey returned- a very good footballer who has had a difficult time of it with a bone infection that side lined him.

Dundee 16 year old gets man of the match in this game should really emphasise that caley ought to be giving the youngsters more game time. Hopefully we get in about Utd at the weekend. What is the latest on Welsh returning ?

A good test of a changing team. There is no lack of talented individuals in this current caley team. Play as a team that is the test. We await the result. Get intae them...it will not define the season but will highlight direction of travel...

Megginson showed he is a strong player and got his goals although from a caley view they were defensively poor. He should have had a hat trick but made a second poor decision when one on one tried to chip ridgers. His first was to kick the ball away and get a soft booking which resulted in his sending off via a bad tackle. Carson urged the team on when behind and grew into the game. White could have had a hat trick first half. Todorov getting us out of jail. Cove keeper had a good game. Caley gave themselves a test and won through. Go to Dundee now and have every chance.

The heat might get to a few players. Need to watch the challenges. The refs have not been great. This is definitely a game for some of the young team to have a go. Hoping for a good entertaining match with only one winner of course...?
