Tekel Towers » The bottom half of the Championship

Getting fascinating.

Only 6 points between bottom (Partick) and 5th (Dunfermline).

Anyone of those 5 teams could realistically go down.

Think Morton are going to end up bottom. Alloa/Partick in the playoff.

Sorry but I can't find the bottom half of the championship fascinating in any shape or form, maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow but I doubt it.

I find it facinating more in the way teams are strengthened/changed (other than Alloa and might well take points aff oor promotion rivals.

Nae split in this league but I do think teams in the bottom half will surprise so called promotion chasers in the run in more than they did in the 1st half of the season.

Our support home and away will also matter.

Huge wins tonight for both Morton and Dunfermline. Both are now only 3 and 2 points behind a Play_Off place now. Fucking mental league.

Partick Thistle after a bit of a renaissance are again looking doomed. Far too big a club to be in Scotland's 3rd tier and I am genuinely surprised how their season has went. Thought Caldwell would be a decent appointment.

P.s. QotS (Dobbie or no Dobbie) are now inexplicably getting dragged into the relegation mire after losing 5 league games in a row. Not so long ago they were humping County, humping Dundee in the Cup and looking a good bet for the Play-Off's.

Championship is a crazy division.

All the more inexplicable as they signed the world's greatest subbuteo corner taker during the transfer window

Just 4 points now between 6th placed Morton and 10th placed Falkirk.

Fucking mental league.

If it goes on like this the last day of the season is gonna be crazy.

Falkirk going down a league, that would make me cheery.

Morton could put them down.

Or we could the following week.

PatReilly · 09/4/2019 10:27 pm

Morton and Falkirk going down would be some sort of a record for Raymond McKinnon.

But I'd settle just for Falkirk falling through the trapdoor.

Very close for the teams down there.
Going to be tough few weeks for them thats for sure.

If Alloa stay up that would be some achievement by Goodwin (esp as no similarly resourced clubs like Brechin or Dumbarton this year)

Hated that cunt as a player but you have to admire his work as a manager.

100% this ^^^ It has to be coming from the manager. If he keeps them up it will be some achievement.

Fair play to cunt if his team do it.

He only has 5 or 6 hours a week coaching them as they're part time. Maybe that works for him, opposite of information overload.
Players have the limited influence/tactics etc rattling round their heads at work.

Wonder how he'd do in comparison full time.

Thats a very astute observation. Sometimes simple straightforward gets the best result.
