First 10 minutes looked like we would blow them away. Fantastic run and finish by Cole. After that really poor. Zanatta and Harkins offer nothing up front. 3 of their defenders can pass round them and then they have plenty of spare players flooding forward. Major changes needed to regain control of the game. Miller and Kakay to come on surely.

Dreadful performance. Scoring early seemed to make them think it was game over. If they don't focus and work harder, we're in trouble.

Harkins and Zanatta are hopeless up front. We need Millar and Mansell on.

(Actually beginning to think Zanatta is a bit of a waste of space irrespective of who we're playing...)

Looks like we are almost in total agreement and Miller, Mansell and Kakay will all have to come on. 
 

Penicuik have squandered 2 very presentable chances. They are growing in confidence and could cause us severe problems unless there is a halftime wake up.

In the cups it’s all about the result and winning. We’re in the hat for the next round and that’s what matters. 

QoS  and Dunfermline fans can’t say that tonight......and Morton fans have a replay against Brora to look forward to.

i have no doubt that Mr McCall will deal with the performance issue.

I’m thinking the same about zanatta- looks nothing like the player who played for Alloa last season

In some way the worst start. However, they had the chances, real chances, to go 2-1 up.

McCall has his work cut out with this shower. Be interesting to see the after-match reaction on this one. No doubt it'll be along the lines of  'we got the result that's the main thing'. Reaction from the Jags fans at the end says different.

Can't bear to think about Tuesday night.

A typical Thistle performance this season has comprised of three phases: first dominance, then complacency, then panic.

Unfortunately, today the complacency kicked in at, what, two minutes?

Too many of the current squad don't seem to understand that winning games requires concentration and effort - being a 'good footballer' isn't enough.

I don't think McCall needs a massive clear out in January, but I do think he needs to make three key signings - a center half, a centre midfielder and a centre forward. We need to put a spine into the team of players who have the right attitude. Players who hate losing and who take every tackle/throw-in/corner lost as a personal afront.

Oh, and a word needs to be had with Zanatta - Thistle players don't play like that.
