I'm a wee bit concerned by the number of loans we're going to be relying on. It'll be fine for the run in but doesn't help us in the summer. Gillespie is our player. That was just classic BBC Scotland journalism telling us he was on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Gillespie looked okay, had a few good touches for the couple of minutes he was on. Drinan does a power of work but looks too isolated up there on his own. Need to get him more support, and a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanayr1987 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 That was the type of game I think doolan would have done well in with drinan in the second half tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thought Tiffoney was very poor when he came on, difficult conditions and a difficult game to make an impression but he did everything wrong. Drinan didn't have much of a game either. I think McCall would have had us watched over the last few weeks, this would have been a game he'd have wanted to win. maybe a change of shape tonight would have been in order. With the recent results for both clubs, it looks like a bad result but Thistle looked set up to stop us playing and when that happens, the worst thing you can do is go a goal behind. A month ago we'd probably have lost that game from being a goal down so I am quite happy with the draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Need another signing at least Aye I think I was premature saying we don’t need another option upfront. Drinan works his bollocks off but he’s missing something going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Need another signing at least No we don't. The Middleborough boy gives us options - and I can't really seeing us going fully two up top much anymore. Drinan, Moore, Mackenzie, tiffoney, and moff are all strikers if need be. We've got options in midfield, Forrest staying is key - and the defence should be ok.What we need is a better performance than that tonight. Chalk and cheese from last week, and I felt we didn't do enough to compete with an up-for-it Thistle team.The shape was fine, but first touches were poor, and mistakes were made in possession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 A lot of people are saying we need another striker which is fair enough. But i think it would be criminal to only have 3 central defenders until the end of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both didn't have very good games but that was more to do with the pitch and overhead conditions and playing against Brian Graham who I thought was a handful throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham is like Chris Templeman, if you have a referee that will give free-kicks every time he falls over and claims for one, he is a handful. Peter Murphy handled Templeman perfectly, actively held him up at every challenge and totally killed his game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I wasn’t at the game but we didn’t look great on the box, but have to say the team really dug in to get a result we deserved a draw. Hard to take anything from that except I’m worried about the number of bookings we are picking up which might come back to bite us, think the gaffer will have a wee deserved break now plenty of midfielders to pick from. How Cardle and Graham weren’t sent off or booked in that game was shocking. Think that’s our business done now unless Tidser comes to his senses and the Middlesbrough boy must have something as he didn’t come up for a trial week like the others, so happy to go with the gaffers judgement on him. We are certainly are showing a resilience with the new boss that I don’t think was there before so well done to him and Mcardle players are clearly playing for him. i agree with posters think we need another centre back just due to the bookings we are picking up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston and Harvie were also a bit jittery in the 1st half, got marginally better in the 2nd half. We'll take the point and move on, hoping that tonight's performance was just a blip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Brian Graham in a compromising position on his stag do in Prague, I may save this till the next time we play them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Doesn’t sound as if we’re signing Tidser which is probably good as he’s not really needed anymore. Waiting to see who gets released between now and midnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
