    I was going to say the same. Bannigan was everywhere and covered whenever needed.

    I hope that the TJF MotM was put to a democratic vote of the members present and had not been covertly agreed beforehand in a darkened room.

    A young lad made the decision

    Doolan confirmed Mitchell has an injury but you could be right, maybe Mitchell wants away regardless 

    I’m sure he will as he’s obviously not displacing Sneddon and probably feels he’s the better keeper. 
     

    Ross Stewart’s stats are hardly inspiring. 28 years old and his only regular first team football was for Albion Rovers 2015-2017

    Thought Neilson's loan was for the season

    I would imagine the parent club can cut a loan short. Like I said it was only a rumour I heard but it came from someone who’s usually fairly accurate with what he tells me

    If they’d left Firhill with a 4-1 victory I don’t think we could have had many complaints.

    Totally fell out the game second half. No off-ball runs, poor use of wings, fundamentally not at the races.

    Would have liked to see Zander brought on to inject a bit of pace and urgency into the game.

    Harry Milne had a poor game and yet probably single handedly salvaged us a point with his defensive efforts.

    We need an imposing defensive midfielder, should probably give David Mitchell a run of games, and Muirhead needs competition for the experienced centre half spot.

    No point having Neilson running out with the ball from the back if there’s no midfield out ball for him to pass to.

    In the circumstances, a point salvaged, probably undeservedly.

    Zander did come on, albeit very late on. Although they dominated much of the play they rarely threatened and Sneddon hardly needed to make a save

    No match thread, so may as well start one.

    We played them in a televised game this time last year and romped home 5-1 winners. Don't think it will be as easy this time and also don't see it being as free-flowing a game. A tight Thistle win would certainly be the upper end of my expectations.

    No absence worries besides Ngwenya. Suspect Bannigan will come back in - Doolan doesn't often tend to drop players due to form, but will usually bring trusted senior players back in after an injury spell. Of the midfield 3, I hope Stanway for one keeps his place.  Pushing McInroy further up and benching Alston?

    Banzo’s been on the bench the last 2 games after being dropped. I don’t think he was injured. So unless Dools decides to change a winning team I’d be surprised to see him start

    Highest score I have ever seen came at Springburn Park - reserve league fixture Partick Thistle 10 Stranraer 4!

    I was at that game but missed kickoff. i got told the score when I got there  and thought we won 9-4, so I guess I missed a goal somewhere in the count 😆

    It's been a recurring theme for years and years. Off the top of my head from last season Dundee and Cove. It was the same last week when we were hanging on for grim death. 

    Defending a lead isn't necessarily a bad thing if you actually know what you're doing. Problem is we are absolutely shit at it. We completely lose our shape and drop deeper and deeper. Watch Raith's equaliser, a complete replay of the two late goals at Firhill, pass the ball past the statues and you've scored.

    About the only respite in recent years was the end of last season and the playoffs where when we were on top we kept going for the jugular.

    It's not so much that we got beat tonight, Raith were the better team, but when we went ahead they were on the ropes until we decided to see it out. Normal service has been resumed. 

    Bang on MJ. Tonight's winner was just like the RC equaliser that led to our demise in the play off final, a quick play at a set piece completely took us apart. I really wonder if we need some form of defensive coaching as our management team were both forwards

    Yes, it seems they all switched off and Neilson practically jogged back but the whole team mindset was not one of “switched on”.. pretty naive 

    Nelson was penalised and tried to block the free kick but was too slow to react and was 30 yards out of position as a result of quick thinking by Raith, something they did all night. 
     

    I’ve noticed many times recently that when we win free kicks the opposition either get hold of the ball or stand over it. Quite often they seem to have 1 or 2 players delegated to do that task. It’s something we’re quite naive with.
