Not wanting in any way to defend Dick Campbell, but his reputation suffered disproportionately due to some dreadful high scoring defeats at home. Most of our best performances and results were away from home (the play off ties v Stranraer and Peterhead being obvious examples of games we lost at home but won away).

Fawlty Towers Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 If we just looked at Wilson's stats for the period he has been in charge himself it is very impressive: Played 35 Won 21 Drawn 8 Lost 6 For 63 Against 41 Win Rate 60% 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Till you mind the respective quality of opposition. Over 30 of the Bunnet's stats will involve clubs 23-32 in the pecking order.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On each manager's individual page, we have 'Summary' tabs where you can see several comparison tables for all the managers (albetit they're only updated annually). One of these tables breaks down the managers by individual spell: John Lambie ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Scot Symon... a disastrous tragedy for Thistle that should have been avoided much much earlier. I suppose if you take the "every cloud..." view of things, the disaster actually gave us the wonderful Dave McParland: from the very worst to the very best in that table.

a f kincaid Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 No, he never made an impact with Thistle. Moved "upstairs", if I recall, to be General Manager or some such. He was once sacked by Rangers while they were top of the league wasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Rangers Symon was always considered a "manager" rather than a "head coach". A poor man's Matt Busby if you like. If he knew what was coming when he moved upstairs he could've called himself some sort of "Director of Football" and had Davie McP named "Head Coach". Can't mind if Symon stuck around but perhaps his tenure at Firhill would be considered kinder in some way after our League Cup win. It would still have been unwarranted credit, but credit all the same. Edited February 11 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I am hoping that Wilson's 50th competitive game in charge in how own right will be a sunny day in late May at Hampden! Pick up enough points in the remaining 12 league games to finish 1st and not need the playoffs plus the quarter and semi final games in the Scottish Cup - has a neatness to it which appeals to me.

Jaggernaut Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I read in a biography that Symon was depressed, and simply no longer interested in football after being shown the door at Ibrox. It was almost as if he was the automatic replacement for Willie Thornton, who left us to go back to his beloved Ibrox. But it was a terrible appointment; it soon started appearing to me that he was getting money for doing SFA at Firhill,. I think many supporters who were around then would agree, looking back on the absolutely dreadful results and performances. Although I was sad when McParland stopped playing, I was genuinely over the moon when he took over as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I make it that last evening was Wilson's 50th competitive match in charge in his own right and his record is 27 wins, 16 draws & 7 defeats Hopefully by the time it is 52 games the wins are at 29.

Fawlty Towers Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 1 year since Mark Wilson was appointed and I think it is safe to say that it has all worked out better than we expected. Hopefully when we get to 30th May 2027 we will be celebrating our promotion (by winning the title - no playoffs please). https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/new-head-coach-mark-wilson/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
