It will become less of a guessing game and less dependent on who knows whom. https://trainingground.guru/articles/breakaway-empowering-athletes-with-their-data This data can also work against players, though, if their performance stats begin to deteriorate.

In hindsight, if we’d made the change earlier, perhaps we could have challenged Dundee for top spot. It’s all a guessing game for us about what went on around the turn of the year. Maybe the reality of the financial situation hit home for the club which resulted in those performances, particularly vs Hamilton and Cove ?

Although tbh I felt McCall had run out of ideas in Spring 2022 as we stuttered towards the first playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my info is correct the players were well aware of the situation before the Rangers game. So, yes, I don't suppose they were in the best of minds motivationally around that time.

Aidan featured as a trialist for us in all pre-season games - he didn't put pen to paper on a contract until closer to the season start but he was present for all of pre-season and featured in all of the games.

exiledjag Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 8 hours ago, Third Lanark said: Just because a few people suggested he was going out the door including you doesn’t mean it was going to happen. He was still contributing more than some, and had become an easy scapegoat he was injured at the end of the previous season with QOS and didn’t have a full pre season with us either. howeever I do agree that Doolan has been far far better at getting Firzys confidence up and the best out of him than McCall was. Not just Fitzy but several of the players Agree with your final paragraph. Glad we can finish our exchange on amicable terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partickthedog Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Wasiri Williams came across well in his JagZone interview. Big personality who I think will be a fans' favourite. Anybody who can rise above the stilted questions and still display character and humour must have something special. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted June 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 All the best to Wasiri in his time as a Thistle player. Hope he'll have lots of success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkebab71 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Good luck to Wasiri, hope he is a success. The boy has barely kicked a senior ball in his puff though so will just need to wait and see. Would be great to get McAvoy again. More signings required in that area big time!

JAG1970 Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 Josh Kerr, 25 year old defender, released by Bohemians and also ex Airdrie and Celtic U20, will train with us this week. At 25 seems to have struggled to establish himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Tend to agree with R&Y. Unless the lad can play defensive midfield as well. There's often a place for a guy that can cover two or three positions capably. Emphasis on "capably". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the football side it’s curious to read that Doolan was tracking him since January… when McCall was still manager… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
