For some, I don’t think winning would be enough.

It’s really working for McCall at Clyde right now.

None of the stuff you have said there will have made any difference to a striker coming to Thistle if they didn’t expect to get a game.

What’s he going to do though ? The guy was top scorer? It’s easy in hindsight to say we shouldn’t have been thinking he was going to do the business again. He scored in the Glenafton friendly and every league cup game bar Motherwell, although he did score his penalty. In 2 of the 3 league games prior to the window closing we got a player sent off. There was no indication his goals were going to dry up.

No, I am saying he can’t force players to come to the club.

I really don’t think it is. There were a couple of strikers that it was rumoured we were interested in, but they decided to go elsewhere as they didn’t think they would start ahead of last season’s leading goal scorer.

So what. You think this committee is picking the team ? I believe you are trying to create a problem that doesn’t exist.

He has a good squad and quite a lot of them have not been available for selection all season due to injury or suspension. Six missing yesterday and Ablade off early and McBeth too. So, it’s not just down to the manager. Part of it is circumstance too.

Why Rhys McCabe ?

McBeth can’t play midfield - at least when he did we just shipped goals.

Again, to be fair, we weren’t talking about distribution from centre back. But, I think when he is playing the simple ball forward to whoever is playing right fullback or right wing, he has been fairly accurate. It’s when he tries the cross field passes that it goes astray.

Same team as last week

To be fair, McBeth can do what you say. I don’t see it as showing Hamilton respect. I see it as developing on last week, particularly with Ablade/Megwa on one side and Fitzpatrick/Milne on the other. Incidentally, I don’t think it is the default option to play sideways - Crawford and Turner aren’t making themselves free to collect the ball.

I expect the lineup will be the same as last week.

I read on pie and bovril that Hamilton fans are encouraging fans to stay away this season due to the prices. Originally, they were higher £26, I think.
