westertonjagfan Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Loved the sense of the whole team pulling together at the end to fight for that win. Hall was excellent for me today, as was Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watties wallies Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 big tam my motm by a mile team captain surely penrice first half excellent pushing forward, got a bad one later on but never gave up cole and hall did well, certainly an improvement kakay got stuck right in over the ninety minutes gordon when he came on scores with first touch an exciting open game, great 3 points onwards and upwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 At times, it was as ugly as it can get, but who cares. A neutral watching the game would probably say the result was never in any doubt; on another day Miller and McGinty score, we go in 2 up at half time and stroll the rest. Same old, same old with the equaliser right enough, and you think this is where we get pumped 3-1 again. Oddly enough, after our second I thought we never looked like losing the game; backs to the wall, but we never panicked. Could see Banzo's red card coming a mile away, becoming a complete liability; though Kakay had his shaky moments in defending situations, Williamson will have a job on his hands getting the RB position back. Bad night for Fox-hunters too, methinks. Absence of skill was, for me, made up for by a bit of dig, especially towards at the end. And a super-super-substitution from Bunter (though half a mark off for putting on Mansell instead of Cardle). If that's the best Morton can do again our ten men ….

laukat Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 That was a big win today. I don't remember the last time a 10 man jags team scored 2 goals and won. O'Ware looked like the leader that we've been missing at the back. Kakay was really good and I think his performance today will mean it will be a long time before we see Williamson again. Hall looked a better fit if we continue to play 3 at the back and McGinty looks more comfortable in that system. Cole could have had a hatrick in the first half. Clearly the manager pulled a stroke of genius by putting Gordon on but his other subs were also spot on and well timed. Slater brought a bit of energy when Cole was beginning to tire and Mansell plugged away when Miller had ran his course. P.S. Chris Iwelumo will be relieved after todays game. Millers miss was worse than his. It was bad enough missing from so close with an empty net but how he managed to put the ball 40 yards in the wrong direction defies belief.

Great win today and thought Tam O’ware had his best game in a Thistle jersey, organised the defence and kept tabs on Sutton when he came on. If he plays like that every week he’s the Captain that we’ve been looking for . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east end jag Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I like Bannigan, l think he opens play and has a good range of passing which reminds me of the job Danny Lennon used to do for us. But the sending offs are getting too much. From the same area of the pitch, he got sent off today, against Ayr and, last season, Falkirk. It's a real pity because l would love to have seen him celebrate a win with the rest of the team at the end. But getting sent off in a fairly safe area of the pitch is really damaging. I hope McCall manages to get it sorted because, across 90 minutes, you'll struggle to find a player less likely to hide or go missing than Stuart Bannigan. Fact check and apology - Sorry, got mixed up with Bannigan and Harkins re: Falkirk sending off. It was only a yellow he got that day - sorry Stuart!

Auld Jag Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Great result, which i thought we deserved. Morton were very poor. As has already been said we should have been 2 up at half time. How Miller missed an open goal i will never know. The second half started with Morton looking more up for it than they had in the first. Then Bannigan red, i felt Morton would go on to win it. Then McCall played his trump card and brought Gordon on. After they made it 1-1 i felt we would lose it, but we went ahead and credit to everybody in a Thistle jersey, we got the win. Special mention for Fox who had a couple of good saves to keep us 2-1 ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was my favourite player in the promotion team which relied on him greatly to be able to play as it did. Real Thistle guy. But he has struggled in a bad team, and his mistimed tackles and completely unnecessary cards are a real problem. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Along with the Nomads game, Kenny Miller now guilty of two of the worst misses I've seen at Firhill. To be fair I still think he offers a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter of '63 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I haven't had much enthusiasm for the current squad but I did think the selection and formation today was the best we have got. First half we were ok - terrible miss by Miller...Cole looked a decent player. Second half was great entertainment if not great quality football. I was too far away to judge the challenge by Banzo...he is a class above most of the rest of the team but these ill-judged tackles are happening too often. The substitutes were spot on - Zanatta pretty ineffective and Cole barely lasted an hour. I am not convinced Gordon has that much to offer...but scored two well-taken goals. The team showed real spirit in defending with O'Ware immense, Fox making several good saves and Kakay more impressive in attitude and ability than I expected. We did ride our luck but we have failed to hold on to a lead so many times in the past 5 or 6 seasons so it was good to take the points...and Morton were very poor. Hall looked a bit slow and indecisive and McGinty wasn't much better...but the main problem is up front...Miller failed to hold up the ball or support attacks and the ironic cheers when he finally won a header after about 80 minutes summed it up...Zanatta and Mansell don' t look like goalscorers. That was a good win though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covered a lot of ground and showed pace, skill and heart. His run won the corner which led to the passage of play from which Gordon scored his second. I agree that Kakay had a good game. He has a go at the opposition. However, he was way out of position when they scored. What was he doing away over on the left ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. I remember us coming from 0-2 to 2-2 v Stirling Albion with nine when Kevin Drinkell was their manager, however that's not a win. There's likely to have been a couple of occasions this century when we've hung on. After all Danny Devine played for us. Actually now that I think about it, Jamie Dolan (RIP) getting red carded v Ayr at Firhill Christmas 2001 (?) Martin Hardie scored the winner for 2-1.

While your entitled to your comment about Gordon I’d say he offers far more than banzo think your slightly harsh on hall given this was his first league game since Ayr at Firhill - he didn’t really do much wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
