Garscube Road End 2 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 A pretty poor result away to the bottom side. Not good enough. But! 8 games without conceding a goal is utterly magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl1971 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 For a 0 0 that was a decent game. Draw a fair result overall. We move on. Oh another clean sheet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 0-0 F/T. Another clean sheet and another point. 2 Big games coming up at Firhill now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 If you can't win then don't lose. There is always a team you struggle against regardless of how they are doing and it seems it is QoS for us. Only 3 points off the top and with 2 home games coming up - let's hope the weather is decent between now and next Saturday. Women's League Cup Final at Firhill tomorrow and the Queens Park game today only went ahead after a pitch inspection (spare a thought for Falkirk, first time back at Firhill since we beat them 5-0 and Queens Park beat them 6-0).

Queens are becoming a bit of a bogey team for us so am quite happy with the point and clean sheet.I’m sure we’ll play worse and win as the season unfolds .

Garscube Road End 2 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 At least I'm confident now that we won't be involved in a relegation tussle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiThistle Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Disappointing that Graham and Maciver couldn’t finish their chances, but probably a decent trade off for the two QOS near-misses. Second half really opened up. I like Akinola more and more with every game - what a find! When do the January transfer rumors begin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see us conceding a goal but we may struggle to break them down as I think they’ll park bus, heart says 1 or 2 nil, my head says 0-0. I actually think all 4 games will be a draw today Nostradamusthistle? Edited December 4, 2021 by Barney Rubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Every team in this league is fighting for something, either promotion or get away from the relegation area. As from about an hour or so ago that is 4 teams out of the bottom 5 sacked their manager. We now have 2 big games at Firhill, let's hope we can pick up 6 points from these games and cement our place in the top 4, but it won't be easy.

Agreeing with all that. Our previous run of 0-0 games was a bit flat. Today there was good effort and commitment all round, and a decent attempt made to win the game. Equally, it could have gone the other way. So no complaints from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather was windy and rainy, but I think that the surface had more effect on the game than the weather. In the first half we could not read the speed of the surface and numerous through balls (which might have been very good on grass) ran away from our forwards either into the hands of the keeper or over the bye-line. In the second half, the wind was slightly against us and that seemed to help, as I do not recall so many balls running away. However, it was never an Arbroath-style raging tempest. It was still possible to play good passing football, which we did manage at times. However, both team were pressing hard, which made it very difficult for anyone on either side to settle on the ball.

Thanks FT. Any idea why a pitch inspection was needed for Firhill yesterday? Didn't look too bad on the highlights. I'm up for two games this month and hoping they will be on.

partickthedog Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 One for the archivists/stattos. I am wondering if there is another Thistle record in the course of being broken, namely consecutive games without a score draw. I think that I am right in saying that our last score draw was 2-2 away to Cove in the third last game of last season. Since then there have not been any score draws in the League, all cups and official friendlies. We have of course had 4 nil-nils and the rest have been won or lost.
