Just arrived today after 4 days in Toulouse - it will have to go some to match it, but have high hopes. Anyway... Back to watching the stats...

Stephen1876 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I know McCall doesn’t care about this competition but that was an absolute disgrace of a first half from players who should be trying to push for a start. Brownlie has been particularly appalling, sadly looks like that injury could have set him back long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, most haven’t had much game time but agree… disappointing and a message to IMC that some are probably (replace with definitely )not up to it… wonder if (replace with need to) he’ll look to unload a couple in January Edited September 23, 2022 by JAG1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garryc Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 A really disappointing night. No energy. You can see why the fringe players should be hunted out of Firhill. I’m personally disappointed as often teams who go far in this competition win the league or come close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sivad Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I feel some sympathy for players who are hung out to dry by being pitched into a game like this, expected to be up to speed with little or no match practice. Some of them may still have a role to play before the season is out. It's time there was a proper reserve league in Scotland. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth did I bother to go when the players did not bother to play, presumably on management instruction. Normally do not mind losing if players have tried, but that was abject.

JAG1970 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Akinola is a pale shadow of the player he was from early last season. Brownlie is struggling to get fit or find form after his lengthy injury but hopefully comes through again. Smith continues to be a mystery. Weston and Mullen were, ahem, disappointing. All are out of contract at the end of the season and must be vulnerable to being moved on in January (don’t know if Weston is on loan for the whole season). None of these guys staked a claim against 3rd tier opposition. Fitzy needs a rocket up his backside. With a squad of 21 we’re really going with a squad of 15 right now for 11 starting places each week.

Stephen1876 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I struggled to understand why we were looking at Shaugnussey given our options at centre half. However, I see now! Akinola has lost all confidence since that red card against Airdrie - gone all Niall Keown on us. Brownlie looks slow, overweight and struggling to regain form, and will struggle to do so without games. Could do with a loan somewhere. One small positive tonight was Stanway when came on. The youngsters haven’t been playing much either but showed up the experienced players. Mullen looked totally disinterested - can’t see him playing much this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenski Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 It's pretty clear that IMc likes a consistent starting lineup and is not in to squad rotation. These guys already know they have at best bit parts this season, hence performance this evening. Apart of course for the young guys, who still have something to prove.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Not that I'm particularly minded to throw tonight's players a lifeline but McCall didn't even put out a recognisable formation. Even when Wee Stevie, the one man that could've turned things about, came on he was deployed on the left flank in some sort of withdrawn left midfield position.

MarciaBlaine Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 On a night when nobody looked good, Mullen was a stand-out as the worst player on the park. Clearly couldn’t be arsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAGSMAN1968 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Just back from that! Absolutely shocking, as Jag1970 said, it's a pity they didn't warn us in advance that they weren't going to bother. S'pose at least we learnt about the squad depth! If we get too many injuries, we'll be stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 The BBC reckon we had 3 shots on goal all night. Falkirk had 18. If the manager doesn’t rate the competition and the players can’t be bothered, best tell the fans in advance so they can avoid the trip? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabbath Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Never mind the competition. I don't rate McCall. Thistle will be lucky to reach the playoffs. As always Thistle wait until the last horse has bolted before we react. Give him a job as coach and for god's sake punt Archibald, don't want left with that clown...................Give Owens door a wee chap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
