Big Col Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 No wins in 5 for Caldwell. No clean sheets for Caldwell. 2 goals scored under Caldwell. I fear the board have made a catastrophic disaster and picked the wrong man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenski Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Bannigan best player. Just about deserved to win, but so predictable. Desperately need someone who runs at or is capable of creating things in the centre of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 An “outstanding.... fantastic..... excellent..... delighted performance, composure, bravery, only one team trying to win the game, something to build on” said our manager on the radio. Punters on the radio didn’t agree. They think he’s talking it up to keep the players belief until January. What do the folk who were there think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if he was not talking it up to give the players belief until january then he would be a bad manager, some folk seem to have written him off already but i remember the great lambie also inheriting a shit show from a previous manager and struggling with folk calling for his head after a few games and look where he ended up taking us! Survival is the aim this season, if caldwell recruits well in january either loans or 6mth deals and that keeps us up then for me job done. Hopefully though he signs players who can not just take up the tail end of the season to keep us up but players who will be pivitol to next season as well. The hardest part is losing some of the dross we have on long term deals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That 1 jags fan Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Awful first half and improved second half still not good enough though, happy for Slater though been our best player so far. Get Storey binned in January along with Ntambwe , Mcginty , Bell , Spittal , AMM and all the loan January ‘players’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoncordiner Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 The first half was awful with Miles Storey at the centre of it. Time and again breaking down promising moves. He’s not got the intelligence or final ball to play out wide. In my years watching Thistle I’ve rarely seen a more ineffectual player. He’s badly in need of being dropped and I think his presence in the team also negatively impacts Eliot. Fitzpatrick deserves a run of games. Caldwell has shown nothing yet other than a fitter looking team. Still playing down the wings and in front of teams which just doesn’t suit our personnel. Doolan and Quitongo have the makings of a partnership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlsarmy Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Once again ineffective football , no player in the team making anything happen , taking players on to create anything to move opposing players out of position. Ridiculous substitution Scobbie for Storey which just invited Falkirk on to us . And finally Caldwell gave one of the most ridiculous interviews I’ve ever heard .

Winter of '63 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Listened to Radio Scotland - Alan Preston and Derek Ferguson made the obvious points - underachieving with these players - we're poor and lack confidence - slow build-up with no penetration - no service to Doolan - Storey is hopeless - better with Erskine on. Falkirk Manager gave a realistic assessment of his team's performance - Caldwell said we were fantastic, etc. It's early days but I'm having serious doubts about Caldwell - he's continued Archie's failings and added some more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo that. He described the performance as magnificent. An utterly ridiculous statement which frankly makes him sound like an imbecile. Magnificent would have been us winning 5-0. 1 point from 15 under him is pathetic. Echoes of the Collins, Britton/Whyte era. Very worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I find it difficult to understand the rationale of bringing on Scobbie today when he left him on the bench at Cappielow after removing McGinty. Certainly makes the Elliott to centreback move a fortnight ago even more baffling. The fact we weren't any worse off going forward playing Scobbie only emphasises just how poor Storey was today.

Radio comment of the day from Derek Ferguson. When asked what he thought about Gary Caldwell describing the team as outstanding, he said that he almost choked on his Toffee Crisp!

Does he actually believe his statement, in which case we are in trouble. Or he might as has already been said, saying it to keep players playing and hopefully get some wins until we can get better players in. No matter 1 point out of a possible 15 is a very worrying stat. Needs to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewcal Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Jury still out on Caldwell I admit but I do think there's small signs of improvement. I never heard his interview but going from what he's said I can only think he's trying to nurture some much needed confidence as that performance and result was anything but magnificent. First half was the most boring 45mins I've ever seen and I was seriously questioning my decision to break my self imposed away game ban. Second half was improved. Thought there was some decent performances today. Slater was very good and Elliot had a good game. Absolute stand out for me though was banzo. He was the best player on the park today by a mile. On the flip side of that storey was terrible. I really don't know what Caldwell sees in him. I do think with some new faces and some let go in January all is not lost just yet.

javeajag Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Well I was at the game and I thought we did ok we passed the ball well , the defence looked solid Christie was ok, penrice was poor where we struggled was in the final third as the midfield was good with bannigan outstanding I’m not sure what else people expect with this squad ? Storey had the ball wide all first half and did nothing with it as usual I’m more optimistic after today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Honestly guys people think that Ferguson,Preston,Chick Young etc are fully qualified to comment accurately on a game, but I’m shocked sometimes by their level of ignorance ie knowing players names etc. The other night a Thistle fan said “Christie Elliott shouldn’t be captain anymore” on a phone in,and they proceeded to have a discussion about it!!! Even though Bannigan had been captain for a couple of weeks(Haha)We shouldn’t be judging a game by what these guys say. We give them too much credit, nice guys maybe, fully informed I don’t think so. Any other time a draw away from home on an artificial surface against Falkirk we’d take it. So I’m taking the positives from it. Stopping the run of defeats and a midfielder scoring. Cmon Thistle !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
