  1. I must admit, although Caldwell has done nothing to show anything different so far I really hope he can turn it around. Truth be told the biggest mistake made in the summer was us cutting our Youth team players. Nisbet & McLaughlin would walk into this team and are better than what we have. The others the jury would still be out but they cant be worse! Its time to stop spending money on this english guff from their Conference leagues and concentrate on Homegrown talent. I’d love to see Gary stick to his guns with what he said in his interview. Lets see more hungry youngsters and less of the same duds every week.
  2. The biggest thing that got me was “Back to training on Monday” after that absolute disaster I’d be bringing them in for running tomorrow!!! Certainly need to earn their wage somehow as they didn’t do it today!
  3. I would say drop them all and play the youth team, but we released most of them...
  4. It might be strange he isn’t in Caldwells plans this week, but its worth noting Aidan played midweek in the 6-0 destruction of our reserves in the cup. I dont think we can really judge Caldwell after 2 games. He’s playing with what he has and what he has isnt good enough. I’d like us to win more but when you have a defence who cant defend high balls, a midfield that compete and strikers with no service then there ain’t really much you can do. Unfortunately, from all of Archies summer signings not a single one has made an great impression on the pitch. Even worse, if you take into account Storey / Spittal who only seem to have gotten worse at this level. Who knows what the Squad will look like come January but by then Caldwell will identify the deadwood and replacements which I hope can turn our season around.
  5. Thanks to Celtics champions league exploits. Assuming this is what the board plan to back Caldwell with, or at least some of it. Full story here: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45978052
  6. Reckon it will be Duffy and Chic coming in. Think whoever it is that does come in, fans need to get behind them and give them the chance. Personally for me, I’d like for us to go outside the box on this one.
  7. Be interesting to know if Gerry has what it takes to sack Archie when the time comes. I’d imagine they are good friends and pretty close so won’t make an easy decision
  8. May I just say. What a pile of crap. ”Streamline our focus on the league” Trying to make a positive spin from the weekend is absolutely horrible. And again to ask for a positive backing?! What the hell do they expect? I cant see Archie going anytime soon as he appears to have the full backing of the board.
  9. Tam OWare out for the season too...
  10. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3105147/partick-thistle-souleymane-coulibaly-al-ahly/ Looks like Egyptian FA refusing to hand over his registration as his previous club have never been paid. Could be a non starter...
  11. I thought his interview provided some insight into whats going on without revealing too much. Although the line where he referred to completing the Squad by 31st August and thats what they were always aiming for is concerning. Thats 3/4 weeks into League season, and already of out the cup territory. Being one player short is acceptable but four is just ridiculous. There were notably other comments in the interview which I found pretty bewildering but can tell they seem 100% behind Archie no matter how results go. Heres hoping for a refreshing game today, new tactics, a win, and some confidence to take home that we wont be whipping boys this year please! Would be nice to actually score a few goals too.
  12. Serious question for the stattos out there. In the last 20 games how many wins? How many goals scored? How many conceded?
  13. Sorry, misphrased... Recent history.... But yeah not really an apologist... just have respect for what he achieved. Also believe that his time is up and he needs to go. Called for his head in December and we stuck by him then so can't see this being any different.
  14. Archies interview Blaming individual errors (sounds familiar) Said had a game plan (heard this one too) Said became disjointed (heard this before too) And then finished the interview saying we need more and theres a few injuries with players coming back. Zzzzz
  15. Its the same as any other job. If you are unable to meet expectations and deliver results then you will be let go. We are not a charity case...
  16. 1 game? What do we completely write off last season? Its the same manager and same background staff. The same football and same lack of cutting edge. If anything we have went backwards again since last season... If people want to stick with him then so be it, but I honestly do not think Thistle will achieve anything and we can't even score... We certainly will not go back up
  17. 180 mins against a team just promoted and no goals scored...
  18. Its time for Archie to go now Act now replace him and give us a fighting chance. If they don't act now, we are inevitably stuck with this team under Archie and will continue to head towards relegation with same old excuses. Shambles
  19. He admittedly took us to highest finish in recent history (Since it has been called the Premiership). So I am maybe being a little emotional, but I am just sick to death of watching the same shit and hearing the same excuses. Archies biggest weakness is signing players, out of all his signings not many of them have ever strengthened us. Either way its time for him to go
  20. Quality over Quantity is the excuse. What quality? And does having a Shit manager make you a worse player?
  21. Archie has to go. The fans all need to make that clear. Enough is enough if we don't act now our season is done before it starts
  22. I have to say I am completely disillusioned with Thistle already this year. Going to be a long season. Id take Hopkin in a heartbeat
  23. With us needing another striker is Scott McDonald still without a club?
