King Kenny

Doolan's composure for that finish is brilliant. Is there a finer sight in football than Erskine and Doolan in full flow? :-)

Tremendous result, well done Archie and the players. Hats off to the fans that made it up there, rewarded with a great display and result. Safe trip home to everyone who was there.

Drove to Pitlochry and back today and the weather was horrific. Roads were pretty dangerous with surface water and poor visibility. Throw in the strong winds tomorrow and heavier rain and you've got a pretty treacherous journey. Then if the game does go ahead, you'll have 22 guys playing in freezing conditions in pissing rain and a gale. Yet they wonder why nobody goes to games anymore?

From the highlights you've ascertained Azeez is a dud? I'm assuming that'll be down to the chance he missed? Did it show on the highlights the runs he made in behind the defence, the constant out ball he gave our defence when under pressure or the constant pressure he put on the Celtic defence? At Firhill with Doolan upfront we got thumped. He was isolated and bullied by the Celtic defence meaning we barely got out our half. Last night we played much higher up the pitch due to players like Edwards etc having something to work with thanks to Azeez. He is by no means the finished article, his lack of goals is a problem that needs fixing but to label him a dud, in my opinion, is a bit much. As for "we are crap"? Again, the league doesn't lie and we are bottom for a reason. However I would not say we are crap and plenty of pundits and even Brendan Rodgers would agree. We've had a horrendous run of games, let's see how we go in the next 3 and then assess.

Osman seems to be going through the motions at the moment, games seem to pass him by. If Devine and Lindsay can keep up their improved performances of late then it may be time to give Barton and extended run in midfield.

I thought we were decent. Signs over the last few weeks our performances are turning. We missed chances again tonight and it's concerning but the signs are positive, performance wise, going forward that we can start to pick up points.

HT. I think we've more than matched them. Dreadful goal to lose, think it was Ziggy Gordon who didn't track the most obvious of runs. We've had chances, definitely still in it.

Frustrating. Started well then switch off (again!) at a set piece and undo all the good work. Still plenty time....

Started well, decent pressure by Azeez, Lawless and Edwards. Edwards should have done better with his chance

Post #22 is one of the finest Thistle tops I think I've seen! Get that pinged over to the club

Must be some injuries in there.

Both options are horrible.

Granted I'm judging my opinion on the highlights only but Azeez seemed to have a decent game. His pressure on the defence and hold up play were decent but you can clearly see how low on confidence he is when he gets anywhere near the goal. He needs a goal, doesn't matter how it goes in, to get his confidence up.

Great point, sounds like we deserved the win on our 2nd half showing. Hopefully gives the boys a bit of confidence. Anything from Tuesday a bonus then on to a winnable stretch of games. Looks like the 3-5-2 could be the way ahead for the next few games at least. Well played Jags.

Azeez showed what he can do with a bit of confidence under his belt up at Dundee. He's having a rough time of it on the goal scoring front but he offers us strength and pace that neither Doolan or Erskine have. We get bogged down in our own half too often as there is no out ball, leading to us inviting more pressure on to ourselves which ultimately results in a goal (frustratingly it always seems to be at the end of the game!). Our best run of form was when Azeez played up top with Doolan. His pressing and hassling of the defenders along with running in behind allowed Doolan to play more centrally. I think he offers far more than Pogba ever did, I'm sure once he gets a run of games again we'll see a positive outcome.

Elliot always seems to be the fall guy. He was terrible last night but he wasn't alone. It's pretty obvious the guy can't play in a forward position at this level, he doesn't have the ability on the ball (he's not alone sadly). He was stuck out on the left wing last night, a position he clearly can't play and it showed. However, he has shown on numerous occasions that he is more than capable of playing at this level in a full back/wing back position. There are certainly folk in the squad who should be out the door before Christie.

I'd need to see it again, might have been just outside. But thought it was a foul and replay proved it was.

The Azeez/Gordon incident. A shite touch again by Azeez but surely Gordon takes him out? I can only imagine the scenario if it was up the other end.

Celtic are light years ahead of everyone, I get that. Our defending is utterly dismal though. Embarrassing how cheaply we give away goals, we need to strengthen in January or it ain't looking good.

Agreed. Relegation is something we can all relate to, winning the cup would put all those years of pain to bed! Also, doing it the Hibs way with a last minute winner against Rangers, not sure it would get much sweeter than that.

The way the game was lost will always lead to some overreactions post match but the way the team continually makes the same mistakes is worrying. Defence needs fixed pronto, some of the defending is school boy at best. Dodoo's first was an excellent finish but he had all the time in the world due to Lindsay following the ball instead of looking to see where Dodoo was. The 2nd was even worse culmulating in a shot Stuckmann should have saved. Again, plenty of positives but no points. Only 3 points off 6th so a decent season is still well within reach but we need to start picking up points soon.

Sorry, should have probably worded it better. There are a few guys in the team who are off form is what I was trying to get across. This can happen at any point in the season, just so happens it seems to have happened to us at the start!

I'd be surprised if he left for Shrewsbury. Archie doesn't strike me as the sort of guy that would go to simply earn more cash.
