Jaggernaut Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I read that last Saturday's game was the 150th match for Conrad as a Thistle player. I think that most people would agree that he's currently on excellent form. Hopefully this good form can last and he'll make it to more than 200 appearances, thereby qualifying for a future Hall of Fame induction! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 The big fella is playing excellently at the moment. Thought when Seaborne and Frans were signed up, that he was going to be a bit part player, but certainly at the moment he is definitely our No1 central defender.

G SUS Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is he, with 150 appearances, the player to make the most PTFC appearances having begun his Firhill career on loan? The only player I could think of that would even rival him is Billy Gibson who I imagine he has already passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThickAsThieves Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Still a bombscare. He's got a mistake / lapse of concentration / slip in him but he's a fine defender for this level. I thought Frans & Seaborne would be our centre-back pairing for the rest of the season and next, but credit to Balatoni for stepping up to the challenge and coming into great form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggybunnet Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 i must have missed those games where those top defenders in a epl. spain and the likes go through games without making a mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westend Jag Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 The big fella is playing excellently at the moment. Thought when Seaborne and Frans were signed up, that he was going to be a bit part player, but certainly at the moment he is definitely our No1 central defender. Thought the same, Seaborne and Frans looked like being the boys when signed and perhaps are still first choice pairing in Archie's head but Balatoni stays in on form and deservedly so, even if seaborne is fit I'd keep conrad in..he is prone to a wee mistake now and again and sometimes gives the ball away when he doesn't need to but last time I checked we didn't have the budget to sign top players who may have less mistakes in them.. I like the lad and not sure he will be with us next season so happy he is in and playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 He's also a threat in the oppsitiono box. He gets on the end of a lot of set-pieces, misses loads, but I make it 12 goals in his Jags career to date. Pretty good rate for a defender.

Pretty good rate for a defender. ^^^^^ agree with this and posts about conrad being ahead of seaborne on merit now. good to see him proving many knickerwetting doubters wrong, as are players like craigen, elliott and banzo who has dragged himself off the scrapheap of his virtually over career.

Harry Wragg Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Please keep to the thread !! Balatoni is probably the in - form player at the moment and my player of the month so far , seems to have found a new lease of life , wish I could say the same of a few others !!

Alan Murray Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Has been very good over last two games. Undroppable on this form. Could be a turning point for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamconnollyglasgow Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 He deserves the praise. Big guys never moaned about being left out when seabourne n frans came in and always gives his all. Still young young also so most likely will improve ?

Partick Thistle means a great deal to him as have seen him say in similar articles over the last couple of years. Would hope we can offer him a new 2 year deal or something. Still young player and can only get even better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinKelvin Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think Conrad's done enough this season to merit a new deal, especially in recent weeks alongside Frans. He (finally) looks more or less up to speed in the premier league, and I'd be sorry to see him go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 2, 2015 Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Ever since Conrad first came here his form has improved as the season has gone on. He always seems to start of poorly and ends up one of the best performers towards the end of the season. Maybe a fitness thing? He is able to maintain and boost his fitness right through the season whilst others fitness tails off as the end of the season gets nearer?

Lindau Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Best player on the park today by a country mile. Immense. He was fantastic today and has been for weeks. Him and Fred never gave Sutton or McDonald a sniff, but for MOTM look no further than the captain. Abdul was magnificent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
