Mr Bunny

Oh. They still haven't updated his page on the PTFC web site. Glad to hear. Hope he recovers quicker than they anticipate. Hah! Someone on the web team must have been reading this. It's updated now to show he's with us to 2026

🥵

Stevie out for rest of season. Steven Lawless | Partick Thistle FC (ptfc.co.uk) Seems he's expected back in 2025 which is good of us as his contract ends this summer (not that I mind keeping him on) This is a double blow as we've never had adequate cover for our wingers this season. I think our best plan is to change formation to 3-5-3 or 3-4-3. We desperately need other missing players back ASAP

Posted this on the wrong thread 10 mins ago: GOAL! Fitzie.

Goal! Fitzpatrick.

It was good to see MacKenzie get a good 20 minutes plus added time in an attacking role instead of the usual 30 seconds he gets (unless he's subbing for a full back).

Watched the replay in highlights a few times (to find a pause that gave the best view) and the guy is offside by about a foot or so. My surprise is that the linesman didn't miss it, being quite close. Well done! BTW looked at the penalty as well. Thought it wasn't at game. But the replay shows the ball takes an odd bounce so Aero doesn't get a connection. He is lying on the ground then and there's a bit of coming together with the forward. In real time I can see how the ref gave it though it's a bit unlucky. We still shouldn't have let the situation develop though. Our defence looks better with Aero back and Milne looking a bit like his old self, but our midfield don't give them enough protection. I wonder if our signings are too much influenced by Dools being a forward. When they're on form our attacking line is very good. But he doesn't seem to have grasped the need for a defensive midfielder. Some folk may have criticised him at times, but we really miss Docherty.

I see I've been quoted from where I posted in the wrong thread. Ah ... now I've found the edit option.

Doolan's preview said Ngwenya is out, as well as Fitzpatrick and McMillan (though latter two back training - bench maybe?). Didn't mention Milne so there's hope, though I seem to remember him limping off on Friday. Hope Milne at least is back. At least Aero will be back.

OOPS

Who is fit to play? KD says Ngwenya, Fitzpatrick and McMillan unavailable (though latter two back in training) but is Milne fit? McKenzie at RB again I suppose. At least Aero will be back to stiffen the back line. If Milne isn't fit we might have to play Williams at RB and McKenzie at LB. Hope to all the gods Milne makes it.

Not only that they had a double cup win in 2021. That must have filled the coffers. I wonder if some boards get careless** when they get unexpected money and blow it instead of saving some for future downturns. **or something

I mut admit at the start of the season I was worried about the loss of Tiffoney and Turner but I think the forward line is fine. Our real loss is Docherty and Holt. Muirhead is our only experienced centre back and it shows at times.

Yes, not given enough credit. Don't think he made a brilliant save but some very good ones and a very brave one where he got hurt. But for him they might have had a lead at half time.
