I am guessing Penrice will be in midfield unless we are going with 6 defenders?

Steven Anderson joins Raith on loan til end of season.

Well in suggesting my team in opening post I never factored in players being cup tied, players being away on International duty, new signing not being fit and the plastic pitch not being suitable for some players. Add to this suspensions and injuries my revised team is... Sneddon 1-0 thistle, goal from Sneddon whose long kick out bounces high on plastic pitch over the Montrose keeper.

Off north for what i believe to be the first ever cup meeting with Montrose. Badly needing a morale boosting win and with Montrose currently (like us) propping up their table we can hopefully have a enjoyable day out. Not sure if Banzo and Gordon suspension applies for this one or not but even if not maybe a week off to experiment with midfield pre Arbroath. I would like to see something along the lines of this which would give the new lads some match sharpness and let us see how TOW looks in front of the back four. Hopefully out of Scotland for next round should we proceed. sneddon kakay hall mcginty penrice o’ware de vita cole cardle miller zanatta

We gave them Alan Hansen, they gave us Henoc Mukendi.

Davis Keillor Dunn and Freddy Frans both just been freed.

Reece a previous teammate of Brice Ntambwe so hopefully he learned nothing playing alongside him . All the best at Thistle Reece.

How much in wages did we pay these guys to recover from long term injuries only (potentially) for league rivals to snap them up when they are good and ready. Only Thistle.

Could it also maybe be that if Archie takes on a new gig somewhere it would mean we would have to stop paying him so perhaps he is sitting tight collecting a hassle free wage before thinking of return to management.

I fully agree with you on this one however its the fact that they are 2nd and we are bottom is the main crux of the matter, a manager who know what he is doing vs one who does not. Zanatta had an encouraging debut (interesting McCall saying post match he tried to get him in this week but could not afford him). Crowd were good at 2–1, ‘bout time our loyal support were rewarded back.

Although ICT ripping Morton apart also.

To be fair I think the posters above have shown a degree of empathy towards Bury and their players and asked a genuine question.

Just signed for Ross C

DM all day, unearth another Osman (first season) before the window closes would be smashing.

All the best Dario

Ben Hall to score the only goal...1-0 Ayr Ft. All joking aside will roll out a cliche, a must win game at this early stage. Hopefully this Zanatta chappie is signed up and ready to go. Would like to see Sneddon back between the sticks and hopefully TOW has recovered from his knock. Andrew Dallas the ref

Absolutly nothing wrong with relaxing on day(s) off with chums however maybe it’s my age and grumpiness but to be publicly partying and splashed over social media the day after being part of a team to suffer an embarrassing capitulation seems a bit off with the paying punter who is still hurting after Friday night. All about opinions though.

I wonder if Kenny penned that article on journey down to London where was partying with some of his ex Rangers team mates at the weekend. Hopefully took his mind off his current Thistle woes.

If I am reading this correctly then it looks like a 7day rest period in which case he would be ok to play v Ayr. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/4624/scottish-concussion-guidelines-2018.pdf

All the best at Firhill Ben.

Chesterfield fans still lapping it all up. http://www.thecfss.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=63958&st=300

If Caldwell gets the sack which is ultimately what will happen one day at Jags he will be finished as a football manager so can we pin some hope on him walking citing off field difficulties, not supported in transfers etc in his hope this can make him employable with some other dafties in the future. Or will his ego make him stay for that p45 day? Could be a win-win for everyone if he goes for the former.

“It’s back to the drawing board” Not really the quote you want to hear 3 league games into the season Gary. Our style of football is on the whole awful to watch. Our fitness levels look poor. A good few of our player look like they have no desire for the jersey. We have a real disconnection between management/board and fans. We sign guys like Harkins, Miller and Fox on decent length contracts who essentially are a waste of a wage (not forgetting Mitch Austin). And this is just on the footballing side before we get into all the off the pitch shenanigans. Grim times at present.

Confirmed for the Saturday 3pm. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/kick-off-time-confirmed-for-montrose-game/
