ARu-Strathbungo Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 If the team will treat the 2 games against Ayr united as simply one game, then we are one up at halftime and there is still a job to do. If the team can perform with the same skills and workrate as last nights match we should run out worthy winners on Saturday. That would be good for the obvious reason already discussed but to succeed after a season where we, as a club, have underperformed will be appreciated by what I hope is a good crowd [maybe 4000+??] This means the team can applaud the fans …. and 'happy clappers' like me can applaud them … and we go into the close season not satisfied, but relieved. Hopefully a good end to the season will allow up to draw a line under 2018/2019 and move onwards and upwards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth remembering that when we were promoted in season 2012-2013 there was only something like £500 difference per league place in the first division- I think it’s now nearer to £20,000 which could be money towards trying to get guys like McDonald Spittal etc to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran out of likes etc. Although I'm no lover (yet) of our manager I do still and always will love Thistle, so yes. Get the job finished and we can all move on to next season.

dl1971 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 So onwards to Saturday. Who knows what Caldwell will go with. I'm assuming McDonald won't be able to play with concussion? Hopefully an aggressive attack minded team. Cannae wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what we want! #morepedantry Aye, I could accuse you of being pedantic, but I also understand exactly what you mean. If we manage to stay in the Championship for next season I would really like to see Thistle 'finish teams off' in that when we are the better team in a match, we convert that domination into goals. Imagine if we had made it 3-0 against Ross County? and that last game against a frankly lousy Dunfermline team we should have run in 4 or more goals. Another thing that is on my wish list is that I never hear Liam McLeod [BBC Scotland commentator] patronise the way we play ever again.

allyo Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I do agree. Morton aside, have we had any comfortable league wins this season? Like, the kind that you can properly enjoy the last ten minutes. I can't think of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 To be fair there were a few occasions recently, when we were going full tilt, you felt we could score every time we went up the park; first half against county, Pars game, Morton, once Cardle has scored against the Wasps etc. Good feeling … while it lasted!

laukat Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Last night was the best perfromance I've seen from a thistle team since St Johnstone away in January 2018. Caldwell got his formation and tactics exactly right. Playing 4 at the back with 2 wingers and Gordon in the number 10 slot behind the striker worked really well. Gordon was in such a forward position was a revelation last night, Harkins strolled the game and McGinty dominated in the air. Elliot defended really well and didn't jump into tackles. We actually had a functioning balanced midfield last night which has been posted missing all season. Special mention would go to Spittal. Versus his Alloa his efforts to compete for the ball in either tackles or headers was weak. When he came off the bench last night he was clearly very fired up and fully committed to all tackles. If Caldwell continues to deliver this type of formation, tactics and performance he will change my opinion of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we keep it up for the last 2 games, see where we end up. Will be glad to see the end of this season. Hopefully Caldwell has learnt lessons and we will be challenging at the top end of the table next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
