No it doesn't

Baird on for Moffatt as we chase an equaliser just about sums up the squad we have.

We're a George Oakley and Nathan Shaw away from a good starting 11. JET is f**king muck and Garrity is ineffective, weak, and dives just about every week. I'm not sure that he did today for the penalty shout but he's probably got a reputation within the group of refs as he's at it constantly. Every single sub weakens our team though. Blues was a waste of time, doesn't suit the way Dougie is trying to play at all. Moffatt was basically our best chance at a goal (yes he should've scored one and finishing touch lets him down but who else was giving us a chance at getting a 3rd goal...). Delaney had a shocker at left back but has looked decent enough up til now.

JET running riot? The guy looks likes he's never seen football before. Taking Lyall off killed the game. No one to play the passes in behind that Davies obviously wants. Lemar with another horror show. Plenty of positives again though, the aforementioned Lyall, another clean sheet, Wilson being the best player on the pitch, Mullen..

Not sure how people are claiming Thistle were the better team there tbh. Pleasantly surprised by our performance today, very encouraging. Boyes, Moffatt and Lyall impressed me today and we still have Shaw to come back in as well. Ali Crawford was actually ok as well. JET is an interesting one... there were times he looked like he'd never seen a football before and didn't know the objective of the game, then there were some nice touches, flicks, and hold up. Only problem was he didn't get in the box at all. Special mention reserved for Iain Wilson. Top performance.

Jack Bearne away at his own request to be back nearer family. Another player it felt like Dougie held to different standards than some of his favourites. Good luck to him.

Last night was the first I've seen us and whilst preseason results are irrelevant, I didn't really see as much positives as others seem to have. Moffat and Boyes looked decent and that's about it imo. Gillespie, Blues and Lyall in the central areas were the biggest weakness. Wilson surely starts when the real stuff comes around. It's all irrelevant if we are planning for Kirk Broadfoot to be anything other than 4th choice right enough. Waste of budget. Might as well write the season off if he's going to start games.

Heard the same story about Arnott and if true he won't (rightly) be playing anywhere next season. Unless Getafe take him on loan.

Muirhead to Livi confirmed. You'd think it'd be a massive blow losing your top scorer, but I'm struggling to care that he's gone if I'm honest. No other manager has ever got out of him what Dougie did. He stunk this place out for years before Dougie came and will likely stink the place out at Livi.

And ever since Dougie started going on about other managers commenting on the way we play... we've started playing exactly like it. We were mixing it up beforehand. Right now it's one dimensional. Not watched any of the TV coverage but apparently he's said players were tired? If only we had guys like McGrattan Bearne and Garrity on the bench who should not be anywhere close to tired. If only we had 2 other CBs meaning we didn't have to rely on a garbage OAP playing tired. If only we had a left back who, whilst shit, should also not be tired as he's been back up til Strapp's recent injury.

Pathetic, and the most animated Dougie got was when Bearne didn't fully commit to a challenge. He clearly holds certain players to different standards. O'Connor should be starting every game at CB. Waters can't complain about being dropped but Tyler French can't even play his own position never mind an unfamiliar one. Broadfoot is just a joke. Wilson shocking but we are used to that when is returning from injuries. Seems to take him longer than most to get back into his stride. Unfortunately we don't really have much time... Power think he's actually in a retirement league. Blues and Crawford might as well have stayed in the house tonight (and for the last few weeks). Quitongo getting man of the match was presumably a joke? Muirhead effort levels seemed to increase towards the end. The game started at 19:45, Robbie...

Ali Crawford Kirk Broadfoot Dougie playing favourites again.

Ryan lost a family member during the week unfortunately so maybe he's just had a mental lapse with his head not fully in the game. Agree he's been superb for us otherwise. I'd be surprised if he didn't end up at a higher level.

If O'Connor was fully fit he should have started. If Strapp wasn't injured, he shouldn't have been taken off. Waters is rancid. If Robbie Muirhead wants to roll back the years then he can f**k off in the summer. Garrity has been our best player in the last 2 games and he's been a second half sub in both...

Suggest you watch both back and try it with your eyes opened this time. We're a far better team without him.
