It's almost certainly SOD's absence that's notable, if Lawless left too, I'd fear much worse. Higgy was good, a character, a cocky shite at times, but he was a determined professional.....however, I thought we were fucked when Chris Erskine left.....
Archibald seems to hold a sort of Alex Ferguson paradox. That guy (apart from that one time) has been involved for 20 odd years. I think I've just formed an attachment for over half my life reading the name 'Archibald' next to Partick Thistle. He's capable of a better game than what we're getting IMO. Maybe, he's just like, 'pump it to pogs and win the second ball, amoo if you get it dae something, everybody else pass it around then just blooter it tae shit all'
But...I don't think that's what he is thinking. Somebody's gotta create something, be quicker, better, cleverer just for a second. A win, some confidence, and some swagger is needed. Honestly, if we avoid the playoffs, ill party like we've won the cup!
