Prefabricated units which you build to suit your needs I would think. Two dressing rooms and officials room.

Maybe someone could paint a mural of Saints  Scottish cup winners lifting the cup to brighten it up.

Gimme me some spray tins and I’ll spray something appropriate ya bass

Scrappy win for Thistle. Seems be the way of it. They might just go on and win the league. If they had scrapped out a win in first game of season they would be 6 points ahead.

They didn't though. They were pumped by us.

Although if you’re Svedberg apparently it is “football IQ” and you are “ghosting” not coasting 🙄

There's far more than him that are guilty of it.

They put a target on their back with then opening results and now they're showing chinks in their armour theyre about to find teams are sensing a weakness and trying to punish it.

The winter period is what makes or breaks you, and with 3 wins in 8 it looks like its going to break us again.

And the annoying this is that Watt and the rest of The Thespians are bang average.

Bozo, Mallan and Lloyd to come back in. I expect we see a new striker in January.

We will peak at the right time of the season.

All of us on here would have been delighted if we were told before the season started that we would be sitting at the top of the league going into December with only two defeats.

There has been one or two concerns recently, but it’s not the time to panic. Arbroath are the only team that have outplayed us this season. Partick showed nothing against us on Saturday that would worry me. Both goals were self inflicted. Liam Smith should have converted his chance in the dying minutes against Thistle to earn us a draw, and we would have all come away praising the reliance in our team. 

Other teams in the league will now raise their game against Partick, like they have done against us, so it will be interesting to see how they handle that. Simo has only had two transfers windows to manage his squad since his arrival and has done a pretty impressive job given the absolute shambles he inherited. By all accounts, work is well underway to bring new players to the club in January and hopefully once we have Lloyd up to speed and one or two different attacking options in our squad, we will be much more clinical.

A new striker is imperative in January.

Why would Simo ask Hearts if they could include Forrester in the squad for cup game when we have a more experienced right back who has also set up 2 or 3 goals from crosses. Something that I don't think any of the others have done. Mind you I think Smith may have set up one and scored one.

Because hed be negligent to not bother when theres a chance someone gets injured and we end up without a natural right back.

[garydavidson]

Also there has been talk of Smiths ability to play left back, so maybe a switch there?

I may be being delusional? (probably!) but sure Smith has played LB already this season - was his debut sub not at LB and another sub as LB as well? Correct me if I'm wrong so I can call the nurse please 😂

He did. It was the draw with Morton. 

[RandomGuy]

He potentially went to LB away to Arbroath too. Im sure he did then got replaced by Franczak who played LB too.

Also correct. Thought it was for about five minutes but it was 15 by the looks of it.

Work continuing on the astro developments. Seats from Bell's Sports Centre have arrived to be used in the stands, and a former public toilet is being repurposed into the food and drink kiosk.
