I agree no pitchforks necessary! But I do think the club needs to be proactive rather than reactive, especially when it has made a big deal about fan communication, fan empowerment, etc. Emails will of course help but the issue is bigger than sending a few emails.

Erskine is one of the few to be able to give us creativity. Squiddy leaving would be the final of many final straws for me.

Anyway, don't want to argue, as I agree with the substance of your point, but for future reference I would want our directors to be the best qualified for the job and with the best skillsets rather than being restricted in them having to come from within our shareholding base. I'm not suggesting that they come from our shareholder base, I'm suggesting they join our shareholder base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARu-Strathbungo Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 With regards to sending emails, my experience of getting any email replies by PTFC is zero. I have noticed a real lethargy within the club to deal with enquiries using email, sure they love to write stirring words in the programme, and the website remains nonsensically upbeat, but an email is a personal contact and they don't want to have that at all. Sure we are 'the magnificent Partick Thistle support', but they don't want us too close as we might say something that does not equate to full agreement with their opinions. In fact it seems to be that PTFC BoD are not looking for a support, but more a group of acolytes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loser mentality that is rife through the club. I wouldn't want us to carry anyone regardless of their history.. I agree Erskine's form hasn't been good this season but we're not exactly spoilt for choice in having "in form" players this season, especially in the final third where we are consistently rank. He is a creative attacking player who - IMO - offers more than say Storey (whom, it seems, our manager rates highly, god help us)... I think Erskine deserves another chance this season, but quite frankly, I think we're doomed regardless of who we play/sign under Caldwell. I think we're all watching a car crash in slow motion with Low at the wheel. I hope I'm wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin energy Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Not sure anybody saw it one of post match reactions on Jagzone with Chris Erskine can not remember what the question was but answer was I have not being playing under the new manger for what ever reason, seemed to me Erskine was not happy he has not really been given a run of games under Caldwell when you consider the run of games Storey has been given.

jagfox Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Erskine has mostly played bit-parts on the left wing under Dunder-Heed. Never been his best position. Edited January 3, 2019 by jagfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been his best position. Also get the impression it's better to start Erskine than have him coming on as a sub. As you say he's been played wide too often. No sentiment involved but I hope he's still a Jags player come February. Even if his form has been iffy the tie breaker for me is he cares about the Club. I don't believe that quality is that prevalent within the squad these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 The fact that Caldwell continues to play all those diddies ahead of Erskine shows he hasn’t a clue. Chris hasn’t been as consistent but he has had some magical moments in his limited game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
