Fuctifano Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 On the face of it, looks like we're going with one of Graham and Dowds as a lone striker / central striker in a 3, with this lad only playing if w're going 2 up front or chasing the game, gives us another type of option anyway. We've certainly had more bad than good from Ibrox (and Parkhead) on loan over the years but I'm willing to give him a chan... 3 hours ago, Mr. Alli said: He's a Nacho Novo re-gen.

Must be pure shite having such unrelenting hatred for a manager who has, at worst, been a relative success. Football is meant to be fun. An escapism from real life troubles. Pre season is when fans are meant to get wildly optimistic and think, f**k it, we're in with a shot here and our new unknown striker might bang in 20 by Christmas. But instead, youve spent the last 3 years or so moping about every decision the manager makes without any sort of optimism or correction regardless of the results. Must be shite. Hope youve got other hobbies that are more fun for you. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thistle managers → With the recent confirmation of Adam McLean as caretaker manager in 1959, our managers pages got a mini re-styling. Each of the 33 now have their matches re-assuringly numbered on the foremost tab on their profile. As ever, you can click on the match result to access the individual match hub. All 6,687 matches in our history (to the end of 2021-22) are covered, and all come with our own unique potted report. The match hubs link back to the managers in each case, so you can skip back and forth when researching or just casually browsing. You'll sometimes notice that the matches where the scoreline is in "bruised purple" (e.g. Murdo MacLeod →) are not in the numbering system; these are the abandoned or voided matches which we like to include for posterity but never include in our streaks, tallies and milestones. Season by season → With the recent amazing discovery about the earliest-known Partick Thistle strip in 1876, each of our 148 seasons has also had a similar re-styling. As with the managers pages, the matches are all numbered for an at-a-glance understanding of the campaign, and a (brief) results summary is now included at the footer, as well as a subtle improvement to the page stylization. Some good examples to look at would be the pages where Historical Football Kits have recently added new Partick Thistle strips e.g. 1875-76 →, 1974-75 → or 1982-83 →. Again, you'll sometimes notice that the matches where the scoreline is in "bruised purple" are neither in the numbering system or included in any stats tallies. 'Bio Extra' tabs As you may already know, we have a mini-bio for each of the ~2,000 first-team players in our history, albeit these were mostly auto-generated in rather mechanical language. We've been adding some "meat to the bone" with our 'Bio Extra' tabs and now have around 500 or so in place. We're kind of casually just adding them in whenever we have cause to be re-visiting a player's profile e.g. Ralph McElhaney → or Mouhamed Niang →. Recently, all of our current squad members → got the 'Bio Extra' treatment, so it's worth keeping an eye on the home page news to see the latest updates. Did you know Mason McCready → was actually American and his Dad won a Superbowl winners ring in 2001? Neither did we until last week! Anyone who fancies getting involved in writing a bio paragraph or two for their favourite Jag then please do get in touch → 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 McKinnon has more potential to make it than Weston IMO. I think he’s a better prospect than Mayo was when he went to Thistle. Intrigued to see how he does for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Looks like the squad building is more or less complete then. Younger players tend to lack consistency in terms of performance but these lads seem to have a decent pedigree. Do we have a strong enough squad to mount a title challenge? That's the big question I suppose. Seems better than last season and the squad has been freshened up without a total re-set. Happy enough to see Aidan back. One of the bright spots while he was at the club. Hopefully a bit of pace injected to the squad along with some creativity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another winger if we're being greedy and / or if Tiffoney is out for a while, Scally's jagzone interview yesterday said Dowds wasn't too far away from being back in training but no mention of Tiffoney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd like to see one more defender, ideally someone who is a centre half, and if we're really lucky another striker but that's unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how we'll line up if Tiffoney is still out. We have proper wingers in lawless and Fitzpatrick now but they're both better on the right side of the pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
