javeajag Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Ok that was typical us lucky to go in level at HT after a very poor first half really dreadful second half change happened when Mansell and Harkins went off both were awful ....Mansell just did nothing and Harkins well just pish we started to get on top then the defence decided it was xmas ....twice spiral and storey made a difference though storeys final pass is well dreadful so wrong team selection and a very bad result reality is we are are just poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsman411971 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Utter Fcuking Shyte. We will not finish higher than 9th if that is the standard we play at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Setting aside any notion of partisanship - it really was a dreadful spectacle of a game. ICT were, in my view, much the better team but really didn't have to be particularly good. On the other hand we were unbelievably disjointed - totally lacking in any cohesion, tactics or (that hideous cliche) spirit. It was a sobering watch and I fear that automatic relegation is more probable than a play-off although that perhaps depends on whether or not there is a poorer side in the division rather than on the current team's collective "abilities". Having said that I personally believe that the malaise comes from the top and the Board should take a good look at the fruits of their labour and judge themselves on what they see.

Grubber8468 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I have no doubt after tonight that we will finish bottom now! The decision to firstly sign Harkins for 18 months is astonishing, compounded by then playing him. A complete and utter passenger! The worst of it is I think the team know they are going to be relegated! Edited March 22, 2019 by Grubber8468 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laukat Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Its been a while since I've seen thistle play due to life getting in the way. I had hoped that with recent results that we had turned a corner and developed a style of play. However that was terrible. At no point did we actually look capable of playing more than 3 passes together. I think the system in the first half was 4-1-2-1-2 which is the first time I've seen that attempted and unsurpisingly left us very narrow with big gaps. The team selection in midfield was bizarre. McMillan looked lost in midfield, Harkins couldn't get near the ball, Bannigan and Slater struggle to make passes as the team was all over the place. Second half was marginally better as we moved to a 4-1-3-2 and then finally a 4-3-3. With so many formation changes its not surprising the players don't develop any rhythm to the play. We have a playing squad that is better than Inverness so to my mind the blame for tonight falls on the manager. We are in trouble and its going to be touch and go if we stay up. Anyone fancy another relegation playoff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of spain Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 That was one of the worst ever. Saunders, Anderson,McMillan,Harkins & Mansell should be ashamed of their own personal display. That was a relegated team playing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Manager can take the blame for the starting XI. Far too defensive, far too negative in a game we needed to win. Midfield didn't have a clue what it was supposed to be doing, no shape and aimless punts to Mansell and McDonald. McMillan can't play in midfield, in fact, he is pretty dodgy at ful back as well. Why take off Elliot? I've not been convinced with Anderson at all since he signed and tonight proved no different. Him and Saunders were dreadul, bullied by a big striker. The manager can take a big portion of the blame but the players attitude is woeful. Someone might want to tell them we are in a relegation battle. Only when Storey and Spittal came on did we show any threat due to actually having pace to attack. I've no idea why Caldwell decided that was the best team to set up with but it was doomed from the start. The whole club is sinking fast, zero leadership on the park, in the dugout or in the boardroom. 2,000 home fans for a must win game is pitiful, regardless of being on tv or not. I hope they all enjoy Tenerife. Scunnered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 We were lucky to go in on equal terms at half time, but I thought we were the better side between 45 and 75 minutes, only to utterly giftwrap their chances to let them in for their goals. After their second, we looked devoid of inspiration as they stroked it around, and it was quite painful as the crowd really turned. Confidence is not high.

Auld Jag Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I was going to say we were dreadful in the first half, but we weren't that good. Second half we improved but still lost . Had hoped that once Caldwell had signed his players in January that had improved us and looked like it had. But tonight we were back to one of the worst displays of the season.

Z88 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 We've taken 4 points from the last 5 league games now with 7 to play. Of the 7 we need to play Dunfermline who are on a winning streak and County probable champions. Its looking utterly grim. 2 of the last 3 vs Ayr. Let's hope Mr McCall takes pity on us.

Duke Gekantawa Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I think the most dispiriting thing was the was we seemed just to give up when they scored their second (there was a fair chunk of time left). Oh and the whole first half. I have not a scoobie as to what the first half tactics were meant to be. Sneddon was good. Storey was Storey (excellent till the final ball). Bannigan scored a good goal. Other than that, trully dreadful. 4 points in 5 games is back to relegation form. Our only hope is that Queens can keep up their even worse form, and we can do enough to pass them and stay shead of Alloa.
