Fuctifano Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Does the domestic loan window stay open for another month for lower league clubs or is that just the summer window? Half expected us to make a Jason Banton / Antonio German style signing today of a winger from England. Probably not now though. 1 hour ago, Mediocre Pundit said: Hmm, could (still) really use a winger and a solid holding midfielder. Think McBeth is the latter, yes it's a big jump from the 6th tier but if we weren't planning to use him a fair bit this season I'm sure we'd have put him out on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we can get a loan or loan out till end of February 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 We're not signing anyone tonight are we? At least we have made some space for an incoming loan with McGinley and Williamson leaving 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Ties in with Clyde sending him back rather than us recalling him to be part of the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I wonder if the plan is just for Zander to cover the wide areas. I did expect us to sign some low key winger to replace Wes McDonald. Hopefully neither Fitzpatrick or Lawless get injured. Guessing James Lyon could still go out on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMadMental Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The thing is , was there much point replacing a guy who we didn’t rely on in the first place. we were eventually doing mad stuff instead of utilising Wes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I still maintain we should have signed a wide attacker but given we've seen Diack, McInroy and Robinson all play out there lately it's perhaps less of a surprise we didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBob Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Some good laughs - and a couple of Thistle mentions - here - From titles to tinpottery - rank Scotland's top 10 clubs - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68006183. Worth a look for the picture of Aaron Muirhead alone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gringo Jag Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Nice and early this time so at least we didn't get our hopes up. Bottled it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magyar Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Doolan’s subs: shades of the play offs in Dingwall. Same mistakes at the same time in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the opposite IMO. In Dingwall we made 2 of the 6 subs available to us in 120 minutes as either he didn't trust the guys on the bench (Dowds, Smith etc) or in ET he was wanting to keep the penalty takers on the pitch, and guys were out on their feet. Today we subbed off Graham and Lawless at 2-0 and their replacements were probably our worst two players and the subs after that ended up with loads of folk out of position. We took off all our penalty takers (Graham, Muirhead, Lawless) and then didn't make it to penalties anyway. He got it wrong in both games, that's for sure.

Fuctifano Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Also think today showed we should have signed another winger. The loan market is still open but slim pickings. Maybe Fraser Murray at Killie? He's got GMS, Greg Stewart, Armstrong, and Kennedy ahead of him. He's not brilliant but got to be better than an out of position Ngwenya or Diack there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 The substitutions of Graham and Lawless seemed a bit odd at the time (but you don’t really question stuff like that when you’re 2 nil up), in hindsight it was definitely the wrong decision, at least Doolan acknowledges that. Agree re the need for another winger to cover for Fitzpatrick and Lawless. Can’t fault the team’s effort today but didn’t make it any less gutting, especially after that really good first half showing, good feel about Firhill for most of the game too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t disagree but at what time of the game did he use his subs in relation to how we were playing and wasn’t it recognised that we collapsed afterwards? I thought at the time that they were needless/panic subs. Or is my memory already deceiving me? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those subs were actually getting made at 1-0, they were getting ready to go before Fitzpatrick scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Maybe one for the Thistle Archive & idk if its too hard to pull, plus it was a cup game - how often have we gone at least a goal up in a game over the last decade and not seen it out to draw/lose vs. how often have we gone at least a goal down and turned it around to draw/win? Feels like the former happens an awfy lot more than the latter. County playoffs, yesterday, the two 90+5 debacles against Rangers in the same season that i thought i was over but no, still got footballing PTSD from it, losing 2-1 to Dundee/Hamilton back to back, losing 4-3 away to Motherwell from 3-2 up... Conversely the most memorable comeback coming to mind is the Christie Elliot Airdrie game after we'd already (edit; more or less) won the league. Edit: 4-3 Raith game this season we lost, too. Had a wee google and seen this, think i mind the game, another previous shitshow against County. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/17456066.steven-anderson-accuses-partick-thistle-showing-soft-touch/ Edited February 11 by Thistle_do_nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hadn't already won the league when we came back to beat Airdrie 2-1. Are you maybe thinking of the last home game of that season, when we came back from 3-1 down against Dunfermline to draw 3-3 to put them in the play off place (and they were ultimately relegated).

Nope, had it in my head we were already champions by the Airdrie game. Do remember that 3-3 though, that was cracking tbf. Going to go and read up on our last few games that season as a palatte cleanser. Edit: ahh, the Airdrie game was the one right after James Craigen Day, thats why. Felt like the league was won after that but aye, wasnt sealed til we beat Falkirk and iirc Morton fell apart completely for their last few games after we beat them.
