potty trained Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 To play where? In the office selling season tickets? Did you not see the posts above? We were having an interesting conversation about differing formations, sacrificing a defensive midfield role to play two up front. It then moved on to, well, who could play the DM role solo... It's what fans do mate, have rhetorical conversations, ifs buts n maybes. It's a football forum. You need to chill out, get involved. What's your opinion, on the topic discussed? Let yet guard down, you might enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Think most of our opponents have Sussex our game plan, such as it is. Ipso facto,we urgently require an alternative to 1 up front, in every game. If nothing else it's souls destroying to see high balls been pumped up towards Doolam and Lawless: neither of whom I'd I,ago switch the best will in the world are what you would call big physician forwards. Personally, I"d drop Stevemson and try Sools and Muirhead upfront.. In addition we must get back to our passing game,, we simply don't have the players to play the traditional Rangers way.

This is a scary place when you get criticised for describing a 'brand' of football as the 'Rangers way' which was a style that they epitomised in days of yore and has gone down in folklore along with the notion that other buttcheek could do with do with a visit from the Imperialists of Leather - it's banter - get a grip. Enjoy our cultural diversity and don't take it too much to heart. now, what was that about two upfront, taking the balls in at halftime and looking for Alex O'Hara in the kit basket?

ChewinGumMacaroonBaaaz Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Re: Higgy I was resolutely supportive of him while a Jag and have no doubt he remains a player with some exceptional talent and desirable attributes for a team game. However, as much as he leaves us with some tremendous memories, let's not allow ourselves to look back without taking into consideration he was not always on form and he let us down on several occassions. Although we might be desperately waiting for our current players to show some more of the flashes of brilliance Higgy is no doubt still capable of, he was not always... in fact I'll ask the question.... How often was he the best player on the park wearing the RED BLACK and YELLOW? Abdul was last years player of the year. .... did Higgy pick up any awards at the end of season dance? ( I've not checked, maybe he did though i do recall Dools getting something .... thank fook we're not simply impressed by the shiny new or tempremental genius! ... DOOOOOOLAAAAN!!!!!) I'm rooting for Amoo to do the do! Maybe he'll be as consistently as good as Higgy.... over time.

Westend Jag Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Paton is better than Bannigan. At what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Paton is better than Bannigan. No he's not. He plays for Dundee Utd, whereas Bannigan plays for Thistle. Ergo, from the point of view of this forum, we can play Bannigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Very hard to keep your players or get replacements when you have little money available. Clearly Archie is in this situation. But he's a fighter for the Thistle cause and hasn't just given up. Two new players in today. Well done Archie.

The Legend Blows Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Archie must stay! It's not that bad. We're still doing the right things. I'd rather play good football and lose than resort to scrappy victories courtesy of horrible football. We're gonna hammer someone eventually. We're actually really unlucky mostly. Keep the faith. We'll turn it around no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougie247 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I really think we have been coasting on players that were left behind by other managers.. getting players into the team 8 games into the season is a ridiculous strategy.. players need a pre season to get to know their team mates and the strategy they are supposed to be playing.. expecting people to fit into whatever plan archie has straight away is nonsense..This isn't Archies fault im guessing its down to the budgets set by the board.. So i would expect at least another 3 weeks of shit.. Then the team will know how to play with each other.. Unfortuantly for us i reckon it will be far to late to make a diffrence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearchar Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 His decisions are uniformly late. That costs us games, and if it's allowed to continue it will lead to relegation (unless the formation is changed to provide more threat up front).

The board have failed Archie and the fans this season by not ensuring that the replacements for SOD, SF, KH and CB were in place before pre-season, and other reinforcements too. After what happened with Gerry Collins, I really thought that the club had learned the lesson. Having done the hard job of getting ourselves back into the top league and consolidated for two seasons, WTF has happened this summer?

Third Lanark Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Everyone is entitled to their pinion. For me personally and it is only my personal opinion I wod only call for him to be sacked if and when we were relegated we were in bottom 3 of the championship after the first quarter. All about different opinions of course but it's just to me personally what he has achieved and shown to the club. Others of course are entitled to disagree but that's their choice. I'm still not convinced a new manager will have certain board members spending half their time at Firhill rather than somewhere of a warmer country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After what happened with Gerry Collins, I really thought that the club had learned the lesson. Having done the hard job of getting ourselves back into the top league and consolidated for two seasons, WTF has happened this summer? Agree. Don't think sacking Archie is the answer - every time it's mooted & people ask 'replace with who?' it makes you wonder - I genuinely can't think of anybody I'd rather have in the dugout who would be a realistic target.
