He’ll be waving ‘Aloha’ from the stand at Alloa then. I’m sure Brian will be up for the task! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can sit in the first row of the stand at the Recs I reckon he'll be about 3 yards away from the dugout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 If we win next week , I think he could win Championship manager of the month. Never thought I would be able to say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 There's undoubtedly a new professionalism about the squad. A lot being said about the new signings but I feel in general our established players have also upped their game. I think we'll be alright if we can get a bit of a cushion on Falkirk and Alloa. I doubt tho' we should get too ahead of ourselves. This morning we were bottom of the league and tho' we clearly deserved our three points today it wouldn't have taken too much bad luck if we only came away with one point. Next week's game against County will perhaps be more indicative of just how much we've improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle88 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 3 away wins on the trot and 2 clean sheets. Players confidence must be sky high looking forward to the challenge next week, think it will really show if we are ready to push for play offs or if it's just a wee bit too soon for us.

Thistle88 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Think the decision to replace Canny be Arsed moving Bell with a more Athletic keeper has made more impact that not enough of us have givng credit for also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 As a Caldwell critic I think it only fair to say well done on the turnaround since the new year. Whilst there is still a lot more to do before we are out of the smelly stuff I think he has at least moved us out of the apathy stage. So kudos to Mr Caldwell, here's hoping it continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I was sceptical after the first couple of months but it’s looking a lot brighter now and I’m definitely looking forward to going to games again. It always irked that under Archibald and Patterson, two of our best defenders in the last few decades, we were so often disorganised at the back and it cost us regularly. Caldwell has come in and after a shitefest start seems to have clamped it in one transfer window with good short term signings and helping a few players find consistent form.

allyo Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Anyone ready to give the Chairman credit for backing him? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she back him or just not sack him? We'll never know. At the end of last year I was in the Caldwell Out camp. Our performances until then did not match the glowing reference we were given by the Chairman when he was appointed. He was brought in to get us promoted and we plummeted instead. All the homework he did for his interview crumbled to dust when he walked into the dressing room. A fractured, fragile bunch of players, confidence shot. He has taken a scythe to the squad. He deserves credit for identifying the dead wood and removing them all from the dressing room. His signings have been astute. I'm most impressed by the way he managed to prise Keown out and bring in Anderson. A deft piece of business. Our current form (best in the division) seems remarkable given the performances in the previous 18 months. We have improved dramatically and Caldwell deserved great credit for that. Not out of the woods yet, a bad day on Saturday and we could be bottom again. But there is hope now where there once was despair. Five wins in a row! I'm practicing my nonchalant swagger ready for work tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keown was brilliant in his first season with us so hopefully a move away will help him recapture that form-he seems a decent bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Let's refrain from the abuse guys. I never normally have to remove a bunch of posts after a win. Let's just enjoy it and hope the good form carries on, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
