Regarding next season, I hope Sneddon can get a move elsewhere. A young keeper is always going to make the odd mistake, but the way he has been treated by both McCall and Doolan has been poor. Despite some clean sheets, Mitchell looks utterly unconvincing. Would much rather have a young lad between the posts who quite clearly has real potential as opposed to a mid-tier League One keeper.

It’s all about opinions of course.  Personally I think you’re being hard on Mitchell.  While Sneddon was very unlucky to get injured when he did, Mitchell has not put a foot wrong under Doolan since he came in

Exactly. Sneds got injured, Mitchell came in and did nothing wrong to lose his place. In my opinion that’s good management and Dools has treated both fairly.

Sneddon was injured when Doolan took over. Not his fault obviously.

Mitchell has been solid since and has done nothing to warrant being left out in favour of Sneddon.

KD has 6w 6d 1l after 13 games.

I'm going with KD's judgement of whom should be in the team.

And that's not intended as a negative opinion on Jamie Sneddon in any way.

In a sense we are really lucky to have two highly able keepers competing for the No 1 jersey. I certainly don't want either of them to leave as I think it's a sign of a strong team to have 2 high calibre goalkeepers.

Most of the post-Raith updates are in place on the Archive, still managing to include a video for all 49 games so far, home page news →

 

:detective:  A COSTLY DRAW

Jack McMillan completes the 2022-23 League season as an ever-present for Partick Thistle, with 36 appearances. He's the first to do so since James Penrice and Blair Spittal, both of whom registered the feat in 2018-19.
● Goalkeeper David Mitchell hits a new personal best of 10 consecutive competitive appearances for Thistle.
Darren Brownlie scores his first League goal for Partick Thistle.
● Bizarrely, Thistle have only conceded 3 penalties in the League all season, with Raith Rovers being the beneficiaries on 3 separate occasions!
● It's 6 direct goal involvements in his last 5 games for the on-form Scott Tiffoney.
● For the fifth consecutive game, all Partick Thistle appearances are attributed to Scottish-born players. It's the longest stretch since a run of 6-in-a-row from 11th January 2011 to 12th February 2011.
● Thistle go 8 competitive away games without a win at Stark's Park (2011 to date), the worst run since the H2H record (12) was set in 1927.
● The lack of a winning goal cost the club £150,000 in prize money, this being the difference between finishing second (£475,000) and fourth (£325,000).
● It's been a season of missed opportunities for Thistle as Dundee become the worst second tier champions in Scottish football history. The points-per-game ratio (1.75) of the Dens Park club falls below Ayr United's ratio of 1912-13 (1.808) when 3 pts per win are applied across all eras.
● For the first time since 1935. Queen's Park finish above Partick Thistle in the League. The two sides will now meet in the play-offs on Tuesday night at Firhill.
Kris Doolan finishes as the top Championship manager in terms of points earned per game. His total (1.85 ppg) is ahead of 2nd placed Gary Bowyer of Dundee (1.75 ppg). Doolan's predecessor, Ian McCall (1.43 ppg), was well off the pace this season in 7th. Paul Hartley (0.59 ppg) was an outstanding disaster, marooned at the bottom.
 
ongoing sequences:
● 5 competitive home games without defeat; 4th Mar 2023 to date. (Longest run since: 6 games; 26th Nov 2022 to 21st Jan 2023. Club-record: 24 games; 5th May 2001 to 17th Aug 2002.)
● 6 competitive games without defeat, 1st Apr 2023 to date. (Longest run since: 6 games, 18th Feb 2023 to 18th Mar 2023. Joint club-record: 16 games, 15th Nov 1975 to 21st Feb 1976 & 30th Sep 2000 to 13th Jan 2001.)

● 46 consecutive competitive appearances for Jack McMillan, 9th Jul 2022 to date, a new personal best. (Longest run since: James Penrice - 51 games, 7th Sep 2019 to 10th Apr 2021. Club-record: Johnny Jackson - 313 games, 28th Aug 1926 to 25th Mar 1933.)

Wasn’t sure whether to post this yet(tempting fate and all that). If we beat QP in the playoffs, will you need to rethink that stat, as we will have gone further in the competition. A conundrum.

No, we're long past conundrums for stats with a policy for everything! Under SPFL rules, once the Leagues are tallied that's it. There are no more points to be won. League play-offs are a separate competition. See our full competitive history sorted by tournament:

http://thethistlearchive.net/results-summary-tournaments

For example, you can finish second in your League Cup group and go on to beat the team above in the League Cup final. And if you were to classify play-off games as League games, how would it work in the final? Would, say, Kilmarnock be playing a Championship game or would Thistle be playing a Premiership game?

No conundrums - just an interesting asterisk and, more importantly, a good bragging rights comeback if you're caught by a Spider in the pub!

There’s rules and logic.

Docherty's handball. 😖😒😫 The kind of thing you'd expect from a primary school child, not a professional team captain.

Until that point we had been completely dominating the game.

He also defended like a primary school kid for the second Raith goal. Poor positional awareness and caught ball watching. Our team captain really has to do better in such vital games.
