Nothing official, the match preview will be out this afternoon and I'd guess we'll be told in there that we're waiting scan results. Or James Cairney might have it in the Times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take was that because we have been on the front foot most games we haven't been pressing much as teams have maybe sat in a bit more against us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Not sure if he's got it in the paper yet but James Cairney was on the Terrace's patreon talking about Thistle's start to the season and mentioned Holt was due in for a scan today (they said today on the podcast, not sure if it was recorded today or yesterday) and they hope it's something that will only keep him out for around a month. There's also a chance it's his ACL and if so it's obviously a much longer time out but the club seemed to think it wasn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 No team news whatsoever in the jagzone preview never mind any specific mention of Holt, that doesn't bode well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Holt a big miss then, aye? Looking for any kind of boost ahead of next Tuesdays big game. Dipo Akinyemi vs Aaron Muirhead is a battle deserving of huge crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dipo Akinyemi vs Aaron Muirhead is a battle deserving of huge crowds. Holt has been good for us but it's more who replaces him that's the concern. The options are Brownlie who doesn't seem to have properly recovered yet from being out injured for a year, Akinola who started last season really well then hit a bad patch of form and now looks devoid of all confidence or we move McMillan from right back and then start Hodson which seems fine but Milne and McMillan have been good at full back and I'd rather not mess with that when possible. Muirhead has been the biggest surprise of the season for me. He hasn't let us down so far.

He just stagnated at Ayr and we needed a big change in defence so I wasn’t all that bothered when he left. Would’ve struggled to make a bigger impact than Alex Kirk or Frankie Musonda imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Tiffoney since he went off injured against Arbroath in the league cup Arbroath (league)-missed injured Cove - started but subbed after 70 mins Falkirk -missed injured Morton - came on as sub at HT ICT - started but subbed at HT Hamilton - came on as sub at 59 minutes Aberdeen - started but subbed at HT QP - started but subbed after 48 minutes. He's clearly not fit and could probably do with 2 or 3 weeks out but the wider issue is we're back to last season where none of his replacements have been any use so we end up playing him more than he should and probably make it worse. It's been slightly better than last year because Lawless was playing well on the other wing but he's lost form as well. The attack has dried up as well, we haven't scored a goal from open play since the Morton game, all 3 have been from set pieces. As our defensive stats show, these goals count just the same as open play goals but we have lost something going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it begs an obvious question - why hasn't Aidan Fitzpatrick taken advantage of the opportunity to cement a starting place?
