  1. Mitchell was fine today - badly let down by his defence for the goal. McBeth looked a natural at CB. Read the game well, and his tackling was clean. Robbie Muirhead is a handful, and, goal apart, McBeth kept him quiet throughout. What was noticeable to me was that it appeared that McBeth was the dominant CB calling the shots with Aero falling into line. Midfield was OK. Neilson has something in that position, but has to think and act more quickly to be truly dominant in that area of the field. Scott Robinson - love this guy. His work rate is phenomenal. He is the best foil for Brian Graham that doesn't disrupt the formation, and his leap for a guy of average height is truly impressive. Well merited MoM today. Going forward, perhaps McBeth could cement the dominant CB role??
  2. Utter nonsense. His shooting may have been below par, however his work rate and closing down of their defenders was exemplary.
  3. That's some Craig Dargo you must be on tonight Bobbyhouston.
  4. Seems to me that Fitzpatrick has improved his defensive game by a margin (1st goal v Fake Thistle apart). I like what Doolan has done with this player - he's got him enjoying playing football again, something that McCall manifestly failed to do last season. He wants the ball now and seems much more willing to dig for it too in defensive areas of the field. And when Aidan puts the afterburners on - he's our very own Duhan van der Merwe.
  5. That was encouraging. Fair play to the manager for tearing up his standard script and trying something else. McBeth and Neilson as a fulcrum of a 4-4-1-1 worked really well, and you can see that Neilson can grow further into that role. Robinson was a standout, worked tirelessly and didn't give their midfield or back line a minute's peace all day. Would have liked to have seen their keeper tested a bit more often, but all in all that had a lot more shape and structure than we've been used to lately.
  6. Give it a bloody rest please. You're polluting every thread with this shite about your mate McCall. The fact is he didn't deliver for Thistle. He ran out of road and credibility. Please get over it.,
  7. 12 goals shipped in 3.5 games is a horrendous statistic.
  8. That's quite an achievement after only 4 years with the club.
  9. Never say never with Thistle DD.
  10. It's international weekend 22nd - 26th March. Netherlands v Scotland on the Friday night, so no top league fixtures. The other three divisions are all in action.
  11. Rudden isn't a bad player, but since leaving Thistle he's never repeated the effectiveness he had playing with BBG.
  12. Good draw. Home tie with every chance of making it to the quarters, which means more unbudgeted corn for the coffers. More importantly, it's an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the ladies and make the final. And hopefully win the bloody thing.
  13. Nothing for us to fear in the draw. Anyone who draws us should feel the fear.
  14. All competitions since his appointment in Feb 2023: P46 W25 D11 L10 Points per game: 1.87 (caveat: one Scottish cup game and one Challenge cup game are included in those stats). 54.3% win rate 78.2% positive result rate (assuming a draw is accepted as a positive result). 21.8% loss rate. That's the statistical evidence. Draw your own conclusions.
