Thistle88 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I hope Hartlepool fail miserably I can’t stand Hartley. Does (Lebanon’s) Lennons ** son play for our academy then ? I actually didn’t know this ! What’s he like ? Edited June 24, 2022 by Thistle88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The need to strengthen in other areas was even more evident back then. That right flank partnership of McKenna and Crawford was lucky if it was up to League Two standard. More it highlights the need to have adequate cover in all areas. Last season the right side attacking mid relied solely on Hastie then McAllister with no back up. We've got the goalkeeper and defence more or less well covered. Attacking central midfield likewise. We lack an understudy for Tiffoney and player with pace down the right wing. I think Fitzpatrick could be a useful signing as he can cover a few attacking options. With the likes of Lawless and Graham in the squad we need to compensate with genuine pace. Seemingly the searing pace of 38yr old Chris Burke is on his way to Firhill ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely not that as upset as I maybe should be about this, I watched Burke a few times last season and he still is still one of the better players in this division.

Dick Dastardly Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 McDonald and Miller did OK. There are 38 year olds and there are 38 year olds. If he still has the fitness, he certainly has the experience. (And he knows how to score at Firhill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Chris Burke is a terrific player. Should have one more season in him at this level. But which Thistle legend would he replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always has a decent game or a good impact coming on from the bench. He’s a always a ginger, gingers have inhumane fitness levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle88 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I’m quite surprised Stephen Hendrie hasn’t found a club yet, I’m assuming we let him go, and gave him a short deal because McCall had planned ahead with bringing Milne in. But I feel like he was actually one of better performers in the games he played. Especially the last ditch tackle I remember! Hope he goes down south and not to another championship team.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Last season we were fortunate to a degree to have Foster in so much as he was equally proficient playing left back as he was at right back. This season we've Muirhead providing right back cover and Holt available to cover left back. Akinola we're told can play as a right back. As Holt is a likely starter as a centreback we might just need (or want) further left sided cover. I don't think Hendrie would've been the answer. A possibility would be signing a player who could play equally well as an attacking wide right (a mirror of Tiffoney) and attack minded leftback. The lad that was on loan at Ayr perhaps? His name escapes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name escapes me. Think maybe you are thinking of the lad James Maxwell? Ayr fans seem to rate him but not sure what his best position is. Technically speaking he’d be a good fit for us if he can play midfield and cover at left back should Milne get injured. Can’t say I’ve seen enough of him to comment personally on how good he is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
