  1. Today
  2. No jackpot winner today so £6,000 up for grabs next month. Well done to the other winners as well. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/ptfc-lotto-was-drawn-today-it-was-a-rollover-jackpot-now-increases-to-6000/
  3. Can we all agree that this is a "must win" game?
  4. As you would expect, Wilson giving nothing away regarding Ashcroft and/or McBeth making it tonight.
  5. I've changed my mind, Megwa's great.
  6. This is very true. Sometimes tho', mainly for damage limitation reasons, having three at the back becomes the overriding factor and you have to make do with the likes of Kyle Turner etc as a wingback. Part of the damage limitation being that you don't have available fullback(s) that are strong in defence.
  7. A Wing back needs to be Super Fit- as your Running the length of the park going forwards - chasing back to cover defence - and have a decent cross - eg a Marc Twaddle type player - that's not Megwa As a Winger - he simply doesn't have the Ball Skills to pass players as you state
  8. Just under 3 hours to this month's draw so give yourself a chance of winning by getting your entries: https://partickthistlefc.clubforce.com/products/lotto/partick-thistle-football-club-lotto Good Luck!
  9. Low currently doesn’t have the pace at this level so it exposes both him and team I would be putting Fitzy at LB before Low tonight
  10. Yesterday
  11. Thistle to win 2-0. No goals in extra time. Thistle to lose penalty shoot-out. How does that sound?
  12. I agree he's been underwhelming relative to hype, but almost for the opposite reasons. Compared with what we've become used to in a wingback, Megwa is too often really meh at trying to take on and beat a man. Too easily closed down, too rare an out-ball to a winger, rarely ready to make an overlap. Defensively, he's fine without being great.
  13. When you think of what we had in Jack MC Millan. A big come down to Megwa
  14. Megwa is a strange one. He's good at winning the ball, decent in the air and is a strong runner. However his crossing and final pass are miles away from getting into Hibs or any premier team. He's also got a mistake or two in him at rightback but seems more assured at centreback. He's only 21 so potentially the mistakes will start to remove as he matures. He's taken a while to settle in with us. I think his performances in the last 4 games have probably been his best and most consistent this season and getting that experience might mean he's a more solid player next season. I reckon we would all have thought he had been reasonably decent if the rumours of us paying a larger then normal loan fee and if we hadn't held out for him for so long I wouldn't mind having him next season but if we are going to develop him then it would be better as a permanent deal. Given he's under contract with Hibs for another couple of seasons its probably another loan at championship level for him next season.
  15. Megwa has been no where near the standard he was when playing for Airdrie against us in last years playoffs. Whatever level of whelm he is, I would say he has disappointed.
  16. I’d rather have McCabe or Wilson than Imrie.
  17. I would be more positive (though still measured) in my assessment. Megwa has had some excellent performances, especially in the away wins at Livingston and Ayr. For someone who is not tall, he is remarkably strong in the air. He shows good skill and movement going forward, but I concede that his crossing could be better (apart from his beautifully measured cross for Macaulay Tait's toe at Livingston!). I think that he has been a little unfortunate in that his relatively small number of mistakes have been disproportionately punished, especially in the more publicly obvious home games. I am thinking of 2 occurrences at the John Lambie end when his failure to see the ball out led to conceding goals (and to his receiving a tonguelashing from Ashcroft), and of course he played a part in Robbie Fraser escaping to put in the cross for the first Livi goal on Tuesday. However, he has put in a lot of good shifts, particularly in the away games. Equally it would be going too far to say that he has been outstanding. Maybe we could agree with "whelming", neither overwhelming nor underwhelming?
  18. Am I the only one who thinks that Megwas has redefined underwhelming in terms of assessing a loan signing? Yes he offers some good moments going forward, but against that, he's a certainty at least twice a game to have a brain fart that presents an opening to the opposition. He's been nowhere near the standard required, imo.
  19. I don't have any recollection of Imrie as a player but Alan Archibald apparently felt the need to head-butt him which is not a good sign. I haven't taken to his managerial personality - I can do without endless "Dougie fumes..." headlines. When I have seen Morton at Firhill, they have been a very poor side with a hack & hoof playing style. On the basis of resources, Morton are a mid to low end Championship side - they should avoid relegation but unlikely to make a play-off spot. I don't see anything impressive far less over-achieving in Imrie's time at Greenock. He would be my least favourite of all the names mentioned for manager.
  20. Mins yer Chinos... Interesting that the rumours of Imrie applying for the Thistle job started just before the Greenock club have a couple of intereting/ worrying events. Discord with the club sponsor and the MCT board. Some Morton board members seemingly stooges of their sponsor. With Dalrada wagging the tail of the Morton congregation. Then Andy Millen apparently sacked and no sign of a replacement. A few of their players have already been linked with moves away including Iain Wilson to ourselves. Worrying times at the Tsil o' the Bank. A wee shame* * not a shame.
  21. Possibly not but the fact the emphasis is now more on coaching ability as opposed to the organisational side of management (Mr Barraclough's remit), kinda means we don't need to go down the usual suspect mainstream route. I'd like to think the Manager/Head Coach (?) will be someone who's shown he can successfully alter a game in play and can in terms of teamwork make the whole greater than the sum of the parts. What I'm not clear about would be the level of importance put on knowledge of Scottish football. If that's not seen as over important then a left-field appointment would be more likely.
  22. One thing I keep coming back to - if we’ve gone out and grabbed Baraclough to be sporting director, does that mean our manager choice is also going to be kind of left-field?
  23. You could just as easily ask what Mark Wilson has done in his managerial career? Sacked from Brechin and sacked from Airdrie. Im not sure you could completely say it’s down to Wilson we got the playoffs as we were sitting in 4th anyway and only finished 2 points ahead of 5th
  24. I see Harry Milne got a game for Hearts and had a hand in their 1st goal against St Johnstone.
