In a sense we are really lucky to have two highly able keepers competing for the No 1 jersey. I certainly don't want either of them to leave as I think it's a sign of a strong team to have 2 high calibre goalkeepers.
Mitchell's positional sense is flawed. He keeps coming out his goals when he should stay put and thus creating confusion. Sneddon is a better goalkeeper.
Did anyone else notice the Thistle player who ran up to deliver a corner in the second half but completely missed the ball and kicked the corner flag instead? I could see Tiff giggling right after it. Nothing could have summed up yesterday better.
I had a very clear view from the JLS of the incident leading to Tunji being sent off. Basically it looked like the Airdrie player was losing his balance and decided to turn this into a dive. It was not a foul. When the ref showed a straight red I was dumbfounded. He clearly could not see from his angle and the linesman didn't flag as far as I'm aware. Possibly the worst refereeing decision I've seen at Firhill.
Hmm. But how do you know it's a curious statistic if you don't have the data on other teams' goals to corner kicks ratio? That said we could definitely improve our crossing, both at set pieces and in open play.
Brought 12 pals to the game today from my football team. None of them are Thistle fans. Their thoughts as follows:
1. Poor use of space: left flank often open to attack from through Foster but his space frequently ignored.
2. Over reliance on hopeful balls to strikers which were easily dealt with by Killie defence.
3. Midfield often fragile and vulnerable to tackles or blocks which killed moves stone dead.
4. Lack of guile in possession when attacking. Predictable and easily read passes on every attack.
Any straws in the wind as to when non-season ticket holders will be able to get into Firhill? Can't see anything from the club on this. Maybe I've missed it?
