Nightmare Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 1 hour ago, BigMadMental said: Neilson is brilliant. And to be honest with a higher level of coaching, a more experienced manager and a higher quality of teammates & opponents - he is going to be one of the big Scottish players of the next 5-10yrs. I’d say he’s been pretty good but has had a few lapses in concentration and strange moments. Definitely wouldn’t classify anything he’s done for us this season as brilliant. I agree that he’s got a promising career ahead of him, almost certainly at a higher level than the Scottish Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Well, thats almost the shitty run of fixtures out the road; problem being we fucked it against Dunfermline and Ayr beforehand and failed to skadge a win up to this point, so no real leeway left in the run in now. Morton games probably gone from must not lose to must win, in cliche speak. Odd one, our form this calendar year has a bit of a relegation death spiral feel under it (a la Archibalds last few games in the top flight + first few in the second tier) but we *should* have enough of a buffer to be safe. We may be in our own Banter Years though, so until its mathematical im not going to rule it out. Really we just need to get a win, somehow, anyway possible. As for Doolan... mmm. Ill give him more faith to turn it around, but conscious theres warning signs that it could get untenable for him if this keeps up. Need some luck to go our way and all.

Fuctifano Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We only need one more win to avoid the relegation playoff spot, even if we lost every game til the end of the season we'd be OK more often than not I think, albeit 40 isn't a guarantee of safety this season. If we did go down from where we were on Jan 7th then we'd deserve it. I don't think that will come close to happening but we're definitely in danger of finishing outside the top 4. Games like tonight and the last Ayr game we should never have lost on the balance of chances, Dunfermline was obviously a disaster and some OK draws in there. Just need a shitty win from somewhere, much like Raith got tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, aye i had actually checked the table after tonight, league from 3rd - 9th is still fairly tight but theres not as many games left as i thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Safe now, hurrah! Arbroath away never feels like a comfortable fixture for us, but they've been the league whipping boys so theres not a better fixture *cliche klaxon* on paper for us to get back to back wins. McBeth & Aero at the back looked good, werent worked too hard by Morton but hopefully can be a good wee partnership for the run in. Glad we were (generally, Morton goal a 2nd phase from a wide free kick?) a lot more solid at set pieces too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Next two games against the league's bottom two....what could possibly go wrong ?. Defence looked better yesterday, however, we need to me more clinical up front and improve our woeful and wasteful corners and deadball situations. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we get 6 points from the next two games we'll be 4th at worst this season. But the jekyll and Hyde nature of our performances all season is really not filling me with confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found myself genuinely wondering yesterday if the players make these nonsense decisions because they get a goal bonus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle 2 Morton 1 → Maybe, but nearly as importantly he’s on the latest Draw, Lose or Draw episode talking about the women’s cup final and confirming that, just like every other Thistle fan, he thinks Tam O’Ware is a total fanny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Despite today's result I felt pretty proud to be a Jags fan today. Thought that was an excellent turnout and I hope the ladies enjoyed their day regardless of the scoreline. That goal was a special moment. In other news: Rangers died and The Jags survived. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
