I'd prefer archie left, but I'll keep supporting my team regardless. It's not exclusively one or the other. Dividing the support in to happy clappers and knicker wetters only creates conflict.

I rarely post on here and was content to let last season play out without publicly condemning management and players, despite the writing being on the wall well in advance of relegation. Yesterday was my first match since Livingston and like 99% of those attending I now have serious concerns based on what I saw. It was in no way different to last season, save for a few new players in the shirts. I have religiously watched thistle for 30yrs, I feel reasonably experienced and qualified to raise concerns that another turgid season awaits us. If I were chairman I would relieve archie and his staff of their duties and bring in a fresh manager and assistant. I love archie and take no pleasure in saying that. I think in reality though he'll only be removed if we are in the bottom 2 come xmas. No-one will be happier than me for him, the club and all our fans if he proves me wrong. I'll just keep wetting my knickers until it plays out to a conclusion. Ps. Looking forward to seeing O'ware play, hoping that will lift my spirits.

Watch the Albion rovers highlights. I think he's immune from emotion.

Great point, Belll should have been all over it demanding he play it out for a corner. #noleadership

Ah, I see. While we're at it... Same pie stall fayre Same cold water in toilets Same nearly knocked over exit from stadium

Feel free to argue any of the points

Started with 7 outfield players from last season. Same manager and support staff. Same slow ponderous style and tactics. Same pattern of play. Same defensive frailties. Same lack of cutting edge. Same strange substitutions. Same lack of spirit. Same result.

Nope, but maybe someone will!?

How far will this thread go before anyone has anything remotely positive to say on this ?

So, what kind of starting 11 for wed ahead of our crucial home match on sat? Let the re-emerging injured get more game time from the start? Start Scully, Nitriansky, Nisbet and Mccarthey? Move Barton into defence? Or simply stick with another version of same old same old?

Well we'll see how we do with minimal possession on Wed!

The old unpredictables.....

We played like a 3rd tier team yesterday, and a poor one at that.

That was bad. Really bad. Woeful in every aspect. I hope my eyes recover soon. Worst performance in a recent memory, and concerning that Archie made no attempt to change things until the game was over. Next 3 games huge, as November almost looks a write off.

Oh, and I don't think the ball was over the line. Didn't think so at the time, and not changing my opinion from watching that gif. Officials were very quick to award a goal right enough. No great surprise there. Was the linesman right on the line? If so, I would grudgingly accept I'm wrong.

We lack creative spark when Erskines not playing or not on form. Spittal has thankfully chipped in so far. Without both we would toil badly. Total lack of composure for most of the 2nd half. Ball retention was very poor, panic hoofs from the edge of our box seemed to perpetuate our play. Scully being a prime offender. Still, disappointed at only a point against hearts shows where we are as a club. All in all, not a bad place.

We all probably looked at the fixtures and hoped for the odd win or two plus some draws over the first 2 months, but feared a whitewash. No matter how it pans out, October is huge month for us, as good results against our bottom 6 rivals has been the reason for relatively decent success over the last season or two. Given we shouldn't expect much from November, December is another important month for us.

Very sad news RIP Robert

An ungracious loser also, storming towards the tunnel rather than shake hands. An total and utter wee tit.

Mckinstry the hidden jag (Vs gypos?) #4 BMMMH or Jamie Smith? #10 Jamie Dolan?

Phil You can officially add me to the Paws subscription!

Yep, you can add me to the list.

Definitely looks like Martin lauchlan. Also looks like Alan Lawrence on the deck.

Anyone else slightly concerned at the rain forecast ahead of the game?!
