Fawlty Towers Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 A bit early I know but we will be playing a team with either a new manager in place or watching on as McCulloch has left "by mutual consent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Nah. Same managers, our first win of the season (if Erskine & Lawless on from the start). C’mon the Jags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not a surprise really, Killie not exactly known for patience. Hire manager, spend a load on ageing players, loans etc, lose a few games, fire manager. Repeat. We're going through a tricky period, we may be level on points with Killie but we're well ahead of them as a club. I've still got faith Archie will turn it round, starting with a home win against Killie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potty trained Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 So, Kilmarnock change manager because their board and fans think they should be doing better. Ross County have changed manager as they too thought they should be doing better. There are grumbles from our support that we should be doing better. So, who's over achieved so far, that would allow these teams to have done better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 So, who's over achieved so far, that would allow these teams to have done better? Both have been League Cup winners in the last five years. So maybe we've under achieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 So far that is a quarter of our top flight managers gone before each team has played everyone else! I would strongly urge the Thistle Board of Directors to stay calm and have faith in a manager who represents our club exactly as I think it should be and has a proven track record at this level. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 They will have a new manager http://www.bbc.com/s...otball/41460867 As long as there are any potential managers left whose first name is Lee. Is Lee Erwin ready to retire from playing and move into management? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the relevance of your referente to their cup wins. So I'll ask again. Killie & County think they should be doing better. Some Thistle fans think we should be doing better. So, who should these teams be doing better than? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are detached at the bottom of the league - four points from safety. We are therefore in deep deep doo. But you carry on embarrassing yourself. Meantime I'll live in the real world.

milhouse Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Kilmarnock have been in the top flight of Scottish football continuously for the last 20 years and won the Scottish Cup and League Cup in that time. St. Mirren, Inverness, Ross County, St. Johnstone have all won major trophies in recent years. Is there a reason why cuddly PTFC have been such failures? Do ambition and the will to succeed shine through from those who run the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Don't forget though. In the real world, there's still 90 points to play for.

Auld Jag Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I know many will disagree but imo this is a must win game for us.Archie says in the match reaction that the players will be in over the break but it is not a punishment.I hope behind the scenes they are being worked hard,some backsides being kicked and we see a positive reaction and 3 points from this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Would anyone fear playing another side managed by Alan Archibald? Yes. The best thing that happened over the summer was Archie staying in the job. We have had poor runs in the past and turned them round. I don't think this will be different.

Big Col Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Would anyone fear playing another side managed by Alan Archibald? At this moment, no. But that's as much down to the players as it is the manager. Edited October 1, 2017 by Big Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Archie Will again sort it out. But I don't understand why he continues to make stupid mistakes in team selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
