Muscat Jag Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 2 minutes ago, partickthedog said: Very positive performance so far. Storey dynamic through the middle and using his body well to secure the ball and drive at the opposition. Penrice clever run into the box and deserved the luck with the deflection at the end. No luck about Erskine’s goal. Combined with Christie, beat X players in trademark run and brilliant finish. He has still got it! Christie an inspiring captain. Absolutely bossed his side of the pitch. Just hope we keep playing positively with well-timed subs and do not revert to a have and hold mentality. Seems some similarity with the first half v. Morton. They just need to turn up for the 2nd half now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) True, Big Col..... Interesting to see Christie as captain today, he’s a good choice Edited August 11, 2018 by sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Well that was a big win there was pressure on Archie today and he responded very well- the whole team played very well - penrice and erskine outstanding falkirk look like they have signed a barrelliD of English lower league journeyman and wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramaca Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Good to see they Archie has realised to play Slater further forward and have Girdon sitting, much better with this positioning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westertonjagfan Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Much improved all round today and two great goals. Big Tam in defence was my MOTM. I thought he was immense today. Slater had a great game too. Nice to have a good Saturday night for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laukat Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Gordon was very good first half. Sat in front of the back 4 and broke up the Falkirk play which in turn helped McGinty enormously who looked very comfortable. Storey as a the single striker worked very well and in my mind it was between Gordon and Storey for man of the match. In the first half we were very strong on the right side with Slater, Erskine, Elliot and any Falkirk attack was coming down Penrice's side. In an attempt to counteract this Archie moved Slater to left midfield but that then made us weaker on the right and Falkirk got more joy out of Elliot than they did out of Penrice and a more clinical team would have made us pay. We really needed to bring on another defensive midfielder and switch to a 4-3-2-1. The limitations off our bench mean the only way of doing that was to put Melbourne on and push Penrice into midfield but I assume Archie didn't want to alter the back 4. Not sure if we were better or Falkirk are awful. We still need another defensive midfielder, a right back and cover for striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Positives: a win! real hunger and desire and pressing the opposition, something we will need in spades this season much improved performance from Erskine and Spittal Slater and Ware looking good paton getting wound up by the fans! negatives: Storey delivering some great crosses into the box with no one talking advantage storey been caught offside too often Hopefully we avoid a potential banana skin at Stranraer, take the money v Celtic then 2 tough away games to Utd and Dunfermline. Hopefully our “4 signings” are in by then and good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Enjoyed that today. Paton is an absolute tool. And to think that some Jags fans wanted to sign him again...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erty13 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I thought Shae Gordon was outstanding today. Held his position, aggressive, won the ball, made himself available for the defenders and passed well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Saw Andy McCarthy with a "moon boot" on as he came in today. Hopefully not as bad as it looked but he was limping quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Good all round performance.Great goal by Erskine.

Winter of '63 Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Much better performance and a deserved win although Falkirk were a poor side - we are short of players but I prefer giving our youngsters a chance than their job lot of anonymous English Lower League Plodders. O'Ware and Slater are decent signings who are an upgrade on Devine and Edwards...Penrice and Gordon stepped up their games...Spittal and Storer threatened a few times but didn't quite open up their defence. I'm not convinced that Elliot is good enough at right back nor that Storey is a sole striker...his pace did stretch their defence but he fired in crosses to no one and was caught offside umpteen times. Erskine had an excellent game...I'm sure Denis McQuade would have enjoyed seeing the goal...reminiscent of one of his specials. A moving tribute to the Partick Thistle Legend, David McParland and great to see most of the 1971 team back at Firhill...it brought back some wonderful memories...and reminded me that supporting your team is far more than just about a game. Jury still out about the prospects for the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
