allyo Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 He's doing well but he has a lot to learn. You cant expect someone in the first year of a job to know everything. Fortunately I think he's bright enough to understand that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â For further comparison can you clarify what division McParlands games were in, please. I assume, some, at least were in the old 1st division?

The Thistle Archive Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Sure, you can always refer to the individual manager's pages where we break down the game list one-by-one and you can also see more appropriate comparison tables in regards to levels (albeit the current manager is only updated annually)...

Davie McParland → Thanks. Had a look. Only 2 of his competitive games came in the old 1st Division, at the end of 69/70 season when Thistle were already relegated, presumably. It’s a pity for Doolan that his 50 have been more evenly spread over 2 seasons, otherwise it is more than likely he would have had a promotion already.

jaggy Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Archie had more than 30 games in the top league so his record is very decent in comparison. Turner & Meiklejohn I would assume had all games in the top league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl1971 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 The stats speak for themselves. I'd imagine if you'd said to the fan base in Feb 23, here is your next 50 games statistics in advance, 99.9% would have thought it highly improbable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javeajag Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Doolan is doing ok and hopefully he can continue to learn and develop as a manager. however at our level he will be judged ultimately - as any manager will be - on getting us promoted.

Auld Jag Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I did not expect to see DC at 4th. Didn't feel that good at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to defend DC, but I think that the perception was worse than the reality, due mainly to a relatively small number of disastrously heavy hammerings at home from the likes of Gretna, St Johnstone and Clyde. Most of his best results were away from home where we were much more resilient and often fought back to overturn deficits. I think that I am right in saying that this happened in 4 away games in a row at Stirling, Dumbarton, Stranraer and the unforgettable Peterhead. The stats do not really match our memories of the dreadful style of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
