Based on our last two displays I am seriously concerned that we'll face a possible right doing on Saturday. Against this, Aberdeen have hardly hit the new season firing on all cylinders themselves, however I could think of no other team a struggling team would like to facelift at the moment than Thistle. In addition to the natural pessimism of most Jags supporters, am I alone in concluding that we haven't moved on markedly from last year? In particular I feel we have serious weaknesses in central defence, which to be frank, has been found out seriously in or last two outings, only the lack of quality in the Morton forward lines allowed us to escape unscathed on Tuesday evening. That and of course the fact that Doolan was restored to his rightful place in the starting eleven. However, no matter or how hard Dools works we're still in the position we were last year of having no plan B, when our passing game is ineffectual.. As a start we should forget playing Stevenson as a striker, quite simply because he isn't one, play him in midfield and restore Doolan to the forad line. As for the centre of defence, Ballartoni actually seems to be regressing, whilst I will cut Muirhead a wee bit of slack, Ashe did have a long term injury. Nonetheless, our central defence does not exude or encourage confidence.
