It's almost formulaic at this point. This time last year we were just embarking on a 5-game losing streak under Ian McCall, including 4-0 at Firhill against Queen's Park, which did for any title ambitions we had...I still have some patience left with Doolan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muirhead being an idiot again. Must have some amount of career red cards. We need McMillan back ASAP. Ngwenya has filled in mostly ok, but he’s either unable or unwilling to use his right foot and it kills a lot of momentum on that side. I thought the same. Wasn’t a huge amount between the teams overall until the second goal, Dundee United just edged most things and looked stronger and a bit sharper. Things unravelled pretty quickly after the second goal though. Do Thistle have a few injuries just now? Even at 1-0 down there wasn’t really anyone on the bench who could come on and change a game, other than the inevitable Adeloye sub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Can't complain about result or score,United did their homework and exposed out weaknesses time and time again .....ponderous in Central defence and powerderpuff in midfield.Big Aero getting red carded at 4-0 down totally inexcusable and unprofessional . Big Kev Holt showing why he was my favourite player for Thistle last year only brought home how far we are off the pace now with current team . United's league to lose and Thistle will do well to limp into midtable once the reckoning is done . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Ohhhh boy. Strange first half, Utd gave away possession cheaply multiple times, but we outdone them by being unable to show and composure/control of the ball. First goal was pretty impressive, letting someone have time to control the ball and finish from a corner... Second the keeper got a hand to but a good hit. Third a shitshow, well worked tbf. Left early. Players looked beaten before a ball was even kicked tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed away on hearing the score from Firhill. RIP! Nice tribute from Holt for his first. Edit: I see it's been done.

I'm not saying you are wrong but that's my assessment of us and I was nervous only being 1 up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) United were only properly on top towards the end of the 1st half where atleast 4 cross balls went across the thistle goal. Easy day out for them, felt all 5 goals were total gifts: Leave someone on edge of the box unmarked Another came from one of many misplaced passes from Bannigan Sneddon got too weak a hand too Holt’s thunderc**t shot Muirhead was off so nobody took the initiative to organise the corner which led to the ball bouncing off an unmarked Holts calf - assuming Holt was muireheads man? Dive from Watt was just lol for the pen,but referee allowed it all game. Edited October 21, 2023 by cilitbang 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Don’t think we were that bad in the first half, but felt like it was game over once United scored their second. I was a big fan of Kevin Holt when he was at Firhill, so no surprise he’s been solid for United and was really good today. Midfield once again our biggest issue IMO, a recurring lack of protecting the defence. The players in that position, are not bad footballers but they aren’t able to do that job in a way for example Docherty could. Muirhead getting an early booking is always a concern particularly if the game ends up frustrating and not going our way, probably gives Wasiri a chance to come in from the off next week now. Most people pre-season expected United to win the league and can’t see past that at the moment, would’ve always been content with Top 4 this season and I’d say that looks kind of our level based on the first quarter. That said obviously a 5-0 drubbing at home to anyone is disappointing. Edited October 21, 2023 by JagsCG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magyar Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 As someone else has pointed out, a couple of our players looked as if they couldn’t be bothered. As for Holt he knew that would be a second yellow, I don’t think he’d any intention of staying on for 90 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxinperu Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Well that was an enjoyable afternoon. Started well with that salt & pepper chicken & chilli pie. At £4.50 a premium price, but thought it was a pretty magnificent effort. Lots of good Utd performances today. Hat-trick Holt obviously very notable, but I think I most enjoyed Sibbald in 2nd half; it was as if he smelled blood at 2-0 and, in my opinion, the urgency he brought in driving us forward at that point played a big part in us going on to the big, convincing scoreline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Wragg Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The only positive to take from today is, given how this season is going, we can look forward to winning by a barrow load at Hampden next Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
