If we go ahead we will invariably draw or lose and if we go behind we have lost the game. Just a thought. We got our noses in front v dunfermline and stayed there. I didn't think we looked like losing that game though my mates made the point that if dunfermline had been clinical it would have been a different story. Then last week we were ahead twice and again i thought we weren't in great danger from them but, they scored twice. I'm left wondering what part the weather played and should i have been happy with a point. It's to be 6 degrees, dry and little wind at dingwall today. So no weather excuses. Should we be happy if we put in a decent performance and perhaps come away with a point? Or even just an improved performance or is that being a little negative. Perhaps i'm falling for, the players are behind the manager, line from banzo. Either way i'm strangely positive about today. Normally i'd be stopping at micky D's in perth for a bit of brekkie just now but it's too close to Christmas to even ask for permission to go today. Safe journey to all who are going up, and to sam and his pals on the north west bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Not heading up there today, fair play to anybody that is. Difficult enough journey at any point in the season, never mind Christmas. The defence continues to worry me but we could sneak something if we play well going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think where we would have been if we managed to hold on in even a third of those games. Has happened a few times this season so far ,but hopefully Caldwell will sort it out.

elevenone Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Same 11 as last week. Quitongo and Slater on bench instead of AMM and Brice. Cmon the Jags, give us an early xmas pressie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KemoAvdiu Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 That Quitongo is on the bench is at best baffling and at worst a disgrace, to be frank. Innocent until proven guilty? Absolutely. Appropriate to be named in the squad while facing such serious charges? Absolutely not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that the club have taken the view that it is unreasonable to omit him from playing for what is an undetermined length of time and as such are taking the innocent until proven guilty stance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ther is no case 'ongoing' at the moment and surely it is very much a case of innocent until etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not picking him for the squad wouldn’t represent any risk to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But it would be a reflection of the seriousness of the charges brought and the discomfort many people will feel with an individual playing for the club while such a serious case hangs over them. Anyway. Mon the Jags. A win today would be tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KemoAvdiu Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) I now make that one win in nine matches under Caldwell, with two draws against our fellow relegation contenders. All of the rhetoric and suggestions of progress that we hear from Caldwell are utterly meaningless in the face of such dreadful statistics. Our team is not good, but they are better players than this. That they aren’t performing as they should is largely the fault of the manager.

JAG1970 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 W1, D2, L6, a 19% success rate. I bet he never had that on his PowerPoint presentation. Exactly half way through the season, 9th, 2 points behind part time Alloa. We’re going to need a fantastic transfer window otherwise there is absolutely nothing to look forward to under Caldwell. So far there is no evidence that he can turn this sinking ship around. The board must be sh•tting themselves. I know I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t think we have worse players than Falkirk, Alloa, QOS or a number of other teams in the league (even if they haven’t been showing it). A decent manager would have them performing to a higher standard than what they currently are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
