Yes, yes there is an expectation of that. Because that happens in football. And we support Partick Thistle. And if every game we lost was indicative of the players being rubbish/the manager being clueless/the club going down the pan/the fans losing interest then we, as Jags fans, would be even odder people than we already are. That's not to say that I don't expect or want the team to push further up the league but, in the scheme of things, we're doing not too badly at the moment.
