lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don't think it would be an exaggeration when I say that Sena is currently our hardest tackling player. He's obviously still got a lot to improve on but it's hinted his attitude is fine, which is half the battle these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really? Thought he was queens best player in Saturday, would be a very decent signing if any truth in it. Where’d you hear this from?

AlgarveJag Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 can't see a lot happening in the window to get excited about (hope I'm wrong). In Archie's recent interview he couldn't hold back a wry smile when it was suggested that players might be fearful of being replaced in January. I'm slipping into my protective Thistle shell where I expect nothing (or worse) and I might just be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 reported on twitter.... Fee agreed for Partick Thistle to complete signing of young winger Blair Lyons from Montrose when the transfer window opens, 7 goals already in his first season in professional football. Will be loaned back to Montrose for the remainder of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Should we read anything into Mansell, DeVita and Hall being absent today.. Hall’s contract is up in January, DeVita on a season long loan (I guess could be terminated early, maybe a wee swap for Erskine ) and Mansell being punted?

There’s a clause in devitas loan that livi can recall him in January if they wish im still a bit surprised about Hall, still young, very highly rated at Motherwell- thought he may have been given more opportunity, wouldn’t be disappointed if he was kept on till end of season even as backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northjag Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 We are trying to bring back Gary Miller. His only signed a six month contract with Falkirk in August. Always thought he was quite a steady and reliable player for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Will be really surprised if de vita is at firhill in the new year- he’s been disappointing. Pretty sure mansell is under contract for another 18 months or so. I think hall might be off ski too but agree that he has looked alright in the games he has played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Cole and Kakay have become priorities in my opinion. And Jone's performance yesterday, as well as the defence, made me think that there are players here that McCall can work with after all. Not saying it's all rosy, but maybe not the mass replacement that I thought it was just a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones will hopefully grow in confidence now that he has scored. Despite the fact that harkins did really well when he came on. He really can’t be an option up top on a more regular basis. I’d like to dump mansell and de vita and bring in a more worthwhile option. Not sure if that is likely or possible. Also think we need more cover and competition in the fullback areas. Williamson in particular- puts in great deliveries - but is very poor defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 The good news is that McCall has enough time with the squad to work out what he wants to do so I expect some additions and departures over January ....he clearly wants Cole to stay till the end of the season so we can assume he has decided on the rest of the squad as well the potential signing of Lyons from Montrose ( for a fee !) also shows there is more long term thinking going on as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note on P&B that Niang is getting rave reviews from Montrose fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Can't say I'm excited about Gary Miller. He was good enough support/squad player up a division but he's now a bit on the old side. I could see the benefit if he's a natural leader but I've no idea if that's the case. I think the leadership thingy is crucial in defence and we don't appear to have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbank boy Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 It’s interesting that after yesterday’s game McCall has said “Dario Zanatta will be a very big player for Partick Thistle”. So I wouldn’t think he’ll be off anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Gary Miller might just be a temporary measure to the end of season to keep us up. I think McCall will bring in a couple of centre backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Gary Miller was as steady as they come in his previous season with us. Fondly remember the game at NDP in March 2016 when he played centre back in extremis because Liam got injured in the warm-up. We won 2-1 and the goals from Pogba and Edwards took the plaudits. Gary Miller was the standout that day though. A fit Gary Miller right now would be welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williamson in particular- puts in great deliveries - but is very poor defensively. I would generally agree with your comment on Williamson. However, he did put in a much improved defensive performance in the second half yesterday and made several important blocks and interventions. One combined move between Williamson and Kakay put me in mind of Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge at Chelsea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being at the calendar signing shortly after and Stevie Lawless was asking everyone whether his long range belter or Gary's effort was the goal of the day.

Feel he needs to show more consistency and a good bit more aggression to be a big player for us. Definitely has the ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
