COME ONNNN ,thistle fans sound absolutely brilliant through the commentary making all the noise.
-
I have already left my positive comments already so I would also like to add the ref really was awful for both teams (especially us) Got just about every single little despising wrong. I think it’s fair to say you know how bad the ref was when you feel the need to comment even having won. The linesman however is a legend.

Absolutely buzzing ,really forgot what that feels like! I was fuming at fitzy for not squaring the pass a few minutes previous to the goal but not as much as Anderson though thought he was going to give fitzy the belt the way he came screaming at him. All is forgiven though on that one fitzy. McDonald was outstanding ,reminded us of all the reason why we hated him against us and why we love him now! Special mention also to Saunders who I thought was outstanding again. Mansell excellent set up for the goal. Christie ,Anderson and Penrice all solid and impressive. Slater gave great effort but not his best game ,can let him off though. Thought Spittal same as against hearts was super quiet today. Cardle great while he lasted too. Absolute scenes at that winner. COME ON THE JAGS!

What I think is really clear is that our team's performance is massively affected by confidence and self-belief. While this is normal, it seems exaggerated with the current Thistle team. In terms of ability I don't think we should be at the bottom of the league, but we are. I think this is down to team morale and very shaky mental strength which quickly collapses when things go against us. I think it was a weakness under Archie and continues to be so.
The Ross County collapse, after being on a good run, was recent evidence of this. So was the way that Thistle eventually, very slowly, got into the game last night. We were hopeless at the start, but got much better as confidence started to return. It's not about trying harder, it's much more complex than that.
It makes the rest of the season difficult to predict. We could very easily go straight down. But if we can take confidence from last night, build on it in the next few games, we are very capable of climbing out of this. Players shouldn't be written off after a couple of bad games. But neither should we get too complacent if things go well for a few games.
What isn't clear to me is how much responsibility the manager takes for this. He has responsibility for signing players, picking the team, sorting tactics. And yes, he has responsibility for making sure the attitude is right. But sorting mental fragility is a very very difficult thing to do, and if that is running through our team then he's up against it. At the moment, having seen a team that was capable of winning a few games then falling apart as soon as things go wrong, I'm less inclined to blame and more inclined to just hope.
I reckon our support could be essential.
Ran out of likes.

There seems to be plenty of willingness to defend Hazard, but his positioning for the goal was dreadful, and he watched a ball make its way along the crossbar. His recent record also leaves some questions to be asked. I'd prefer to see Sneddon back between the sticks, even if he isn't so tall.
Haven’t seen the goal back admittedly so maybe I was wrong in saying he could do nothing about it.

Yeh first half we where nervous and scared of hearts it was a painful watching but we grew in confidence and showed they really are not that much better than us. Northy atmosphere was the best I can remember for a very long time and the goal was fantastic scenes ,also can’t remember when I last went so mental . I also really don’t understand the hate for harkins ,on the ball he wasn’t great held onto it too long a couple of times but really I struggle to pick many thistle players who got more involved ,won more headers or mad more tackles than he did. Mansell also I thought the lad absolutely ran his socks off despite being visibly f****d at the end he kept at it and gave it it his all. Admittedly I don’t thing the boy is up to anything special by any means but he really did give it his all. Anderson struggled ,Spittal quiet ,slater was very poor but had a great second half ,fitzy quiet ,McMillan and Elliot both ok second half’s but where absolutely torn apart first half,big hazard was much better with crosses and good handling can’t fault him for the goal. Penrice was good too didn’t do anything wrong .Saunders was my man of the match thought he was excellent battled away hard against a really tough opponent in that huge lad up top. Special mention to cardle who I thought changed the game . Extra special mention to our miles who was useless ,as always. All in all realistically not the worst result in the world ,still in the cup another pay day with that and never say never eh? Mon the Jags.

Struggle to see how Caldwell’s at fault for that second half display ,his tactics worked in the first half and the players shat it and let him down in the second half ,he can’t kick the bloody ball for them can he.

Dunfermline and Alloa winning and Falkirk gaining points ,now 5/6 off Dunfermline and Morton. All of a sudden in 45 minutes things are looking very grim again as we sit bottom again. Quite incredible how fast football can change ,a really awful Saturday.
-
What an absolute bottle
-
Notice in Gary’s interview he wasn’t asked nor did he mention if Saunders or Cardle would be fit to play ,anyone got any idea about the fitness of either?
-
The 120 minutes and pain of losing literally couldn’t have fallen better for us ,we don’t treat them with any respect or sit in ,we’re the form team at home. We should go right at them right from the start and press for a win and nothing less ,0 reason not too.
-
Agree he certainly is not doing himself any favours. Have a feeling he’ll be gone the summer having done just about nothing will be snapped up by a premier league team and will no doubt be absolutely incredible for them next season while we sit and wonder what might have been.
17 minutes ago, jaggymct said:Saw this earlier too, don't think Coulibaly is doing himself any favours on twitter, having said that i agree that he should be getting game time if he is fit.
He tweeted last week that he had played a full 90 mins in a friendly so hopefully we will see him playing soon.

Interesting here ,first of all I think coulibaly re posting a fans opinion undermining a fellow player is incredibly unprofessional (as much as I couldn’t agree more with the tweet too). I would also like to raise the question does anyone know what’s going on with coulibaly ,does Caldwell not rate him? what’s going on here? Are Roy or Mansell truly any better or fitter than coulibaly? Even if he isint match fit surely he his fit enough to play 10 minutes as a sub . I just find myself puzzled as to why we went to all this trouble signing him and why we have such a talented player rotting away behing Miles Storey of all people ,it really does baffle me.
-
How did the young lad Mansell fair when he came on ,for anyone who was there?
-
Job done ,4 wins in a row regardless of performance into the next round ,high fives all round!
-
Could be a toughy but confident of a 2/3-0 win for the jags ,fingers crossed I’m right and also as mentioned before definently helpful getting practice on the Astro turf for Alloa the following week.
-
Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself but I genuinely think Dunfermline and Alloa will both finish below us and Falkirk ,just a feeling though. Fantastic result today with east fife next week Alloa the week after win both of those and we’ll be flying. Well done Gary.
-
Gutted to hear about this striker falling through but out with up front I think we are now strong enough everywhere else to stay up. Hopefully.

Down to 2 now, struggling for a forward
Any idea who the 2 are or who the forward who fell through are?

Leaving it late it seems...
-
Well true if anyone could get 2 goalkeepers injures in 15/16 games it would probably be us admittedly.

Did Lennox not come from Cowdenbeith ?
Happy with both those loans .... Bell away from the club and Lennox to get more game time
Raith Rovers I think.
