  1. Exactly. For all yesterday was rubbish we won! We don’t have our best team or formation settled yet and it hasn’t clicked. With that considered we have still picked up 7/9 good points. If we can get it to click and actually start playing well I still think we are well in a promotion hunt. It needs to happen sooner or later though as we can’t rely on scraping results like today every week. Defensively we are solid and that’s a good base to work on. I fully understand we were mince yesterday but I think the doom and gloom is largely unnecessary.
  2. Hope he’s not injured again, he has a bad track record. Although it could be a 3 game and if it is I would prefer it used up on this cup game than another league game. I agree I would like to see smith, Ablade and Sayers come in. Give Bbg and Milne a rest, maybe even fitzy and keep in chalmers in the hope a goal or something notable might give him the confidence boost he needs to kick start his thistle career. Otherwise I would keep it the same with a 50/50 between Mackenzie or Lyon to start.
  3. Always possible against a former thistle player. My only worry would be the team will likely be much changed and therefore unsettled. Only way to give others to show case what they can do though. I expects Sayers, ablade, smith , Ashcroft and possible ricco will all come in.
  4. A decent result and hopefully a good win against Alloa next week will kick us into form and our season will start to pick up some momentum. Nilsson started slow but had a good second half and I think there’s a decent player there who will improve with games (not helped by another rubbish display by chalmers). He may benefit massively with Lawless infront of him come the day of his return. Banzo and turner dictated the tempo well and banzo was impressive. Milne and the 2 cbs were solid. Fitzy hot and cold as always and graham looked rusty still feeling whatever injury he had. Next week I would like to see Ablade and smith start. Roberts is a real find in goals, commands his area well. Lyon was okay but I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good as Robinson or turner in that position. Infact I would prefer to see Mackenzie in there as he offers a far better physical presence and more energy. Onwards and upwards. Lastly, QP were toothless and rubbish, Rudden is utterly useless and I can’t believe some on here wanted him back frankly.
  5. Poor performance is putting it lightly, bar a 10 minutes spell we have been honking. I’d bite your hand off for a scraped 1-0 win at this point.
  6. Agree completely with the last point as that’s very much how I see this scenario. Preparing to replace Milne already while also providing much needed cover. Also shows he has maybe learned his lesson with McMillan and how that has dragged on? I can always live with mistakes when they are used to learn and not be made again. A striker and a rb now and finger crossed mcgready either keeps his good form and kicks on or roberts looks the part. Pretty much sorted after that also with the bonus of lawless to come back at some point. The right back is now what’s most important we get right.
  7. Should also add I hope O’reilly comes back in next week as I would like him and mcbeth to start forging a partnership together and have aero and Ashcroft as experienced cover who can come on when seeing out games.
  8. Well I’ll try to take positives, we technically won so that’s something for the form. Kept a clean sheet, mcgready potentially could go from strength to strength after that performance and certainly deserves to play from now on until he shows otherwise as that was a great display. Quick off his line and made some cracking saves, coming for crosses and taking more time on the ball at his feet will come with confidence. Perhaps removing some of the panic around the keeper area for now at least. Williams actually took on his man a couple of times and created an angle. Still want a right back but I think he is decent enough cover there. Turner excellent and I thought Dan Mackay had a great game, gives us pace down both sides and once he’s a bit more match sharp I think his end product will improve. Mcbeth better at centre back for sure and I thought stanway was energetic when he came on, personally would rather he started over Crawford but Crawford had a good second half. Milne also excellent and fitzy after quick start completely fell out of the game. Aero and mcbeth solid. A winnable game and a good opportunity wasted but we move on and have no time to dwell on it, as a good start in the league is essential.
  9. Maybe this was a do or die day for the pathway of mcgreadys career, so far he has surprised me and is taking his chance with both hands. Turner is just brilliant, give him player of the year now. fitzy started well and looks dangerous. Everyone else has been fine, Mackay poor final delivery and Crawford honestly just baffles me as a signing. Genuinely think stanway must be furious watching him start ahead of him for this one, always happy to be proven wrong but for me he should never be starting in our best midfield.
  10. At least Milne is back that’s something. Win and we’re through, simple as that. But I have 0 confidence whatsoever of us doing that, not even so much based on the mid week defeat but the fact we cannot and simply do not win at fir park. Cursed place. Shame as all we had to do was beat league 2 Clyde at home and we were though already more or less. For me I would like to see Mackay come in for chalmers, Robinson in for Crawford and stanway in for Ashcroft and drop mcbeth back into centre back. I would also like a right backs an a keeper but we can’t have everything eh. You never know though, would be very thistle of us to win this in some ways but I don’t see it personally.
  11. Fair enough I also agree that it doesn’t lie solely on Ashcroft. Plenty of other pathetic performances and even turner and mcbeth ect despite not being bad, certainly weren’t great. Chalmers was a man down, fitzy was infuriating and grahams touch was mince. Wasiri in an attacking sense was also rubbish. Certainly not on Ashcroft alone and I think Doolan also made an error by changing to a 3 at the back as we were all over the place. All in all just a terrible performance and we are as good as out the cup, totally p*ssed off with that.
  12. I think you are perhaps under reacting if im honest. Im not saying that’s our whole season derailed by any means at this point, but that has likely put us out the cup. The money we miss out now because of that performance could have signed us another player to plug problem areas. Ashcroft was murder in that game and I’m not sure how anyone could defend it. Not saying he’s a bad player or won’t be a good signing in the long run but that performance was abysmal.
  13. Genuinely fizzing at that performance. So so so bad. Mackay has to start the next game as chalmers has done absolutely nothing whatsoever yet in thistle colours. We need a right back desperately as well. We now have to beat Motherwell on Sunday and quite frankly that is absolutely never happening. Completely blown this group and a potentially huge amount of money with it that could have funded the badly needed cover at full back. Incredibly disappointing and Ashcroft should hang his head in shame he was utterly woeful and Clyde literally targeted him the full second half. Fitzy also absolutely infuriating. The rest meh at best but those 2 take the cake.
  14. Absolute embarrassment, we are still tragic at the back and nothing will improve until we sort it. Conceding 5 at home at Montrose and Clyde is nothing short of tragic and unless we sort it big time we have no chance of winning this league. We have the squad and every chance but huge improvements needed. That aside we are not likely not to even make it out this group now, that money could have funded a much needed signing.
  15. That goal was a complete riddy, as much as Ashcroft has embarrassed himself completely for both goals. Mitchell absolutely has to save that why he leaves it so long to slide not only causes the ball to go in but causes his “injury”. If he hadn't shat it and just slid straight away hed of cleared it with ease and gave himself time not to hit the net/post. Calamity. We desperately need full backs on both sides. Mcbeth into defence and get Ashcroft off.
