Lanarkjag Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Entertaining game - deserved the win - could even have had a couple more goals if we hadn't tried to walk the ball into the net. The 1st 20 mins or so was appalling but once the game settled down (we actually started passing the ball) we looked the better side Fox - Solid as usual, couple of really good stops - again Bombscare - Was pretty solid today, even got forward a few times Boyle - Not bad, great run for the goal. Defensively was solid Archie - Good in the air, distribution better than it has been Balatoni - Solid again at the back. The defence didn't give much away today and looked pretty comfortable Campbell - had a good game. Showed his pace a few times and wasn't afraid to have a run at the oppo. Got a few half decent crosses in and got in some good positions Cairney - Looking a little fitter, still gets caught in possession though but certainly looked a lot better than the previous two games Stewart - Thought he had a very good game. Good touch, not a bad passer, took some part in a lot of our better moves. Eskine - Brilliant and frustrating all at once. Great finish for the goal, some cracking runs. His choice of pass could be better sometimes though. Good game. Doolan - did a power of work. Not many sights of goal but good link up play, again was pretty solid. Grehan - Got better as the game went on. Great run and pass for Boyles goal. One of our best players today (after the 1st 20 mins or so) Morton didn't really offer anything, even when they were chasing. We looked dangerous on the break Well done Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Very accurate summary, I think. Though I don't think that Willie K's performances this season have merited the "Bombscare" tag. He's been excellent of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanarkjag Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 This Was his best game in a Thistle Shirt at full back. The previous two games he has looked uncomfortable but I thought everything was pretty solid from him yesterday. Didn't let much get past him and his support play was pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Some have said that Morton were poor. I didn't make it to the game but I can say this ... I've seen us play teams often who were on a run of poor form and we managed somehow, with our own inept play, to give them a confidence boost (and a goal or two) and they end up playing much better than us. So whenever we get a win I think the team deserves the credit for it regardless of how the opposition play. Let's remember that often you can only play as well as the opposition lets you. If we'd shown too much weakness or carelessness in the game, Morton might have easily got into their stride and made it difficult for us.
