Hammerafc Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I think it would have been better with Hammy as left CB. Macintosh on the right doesn't work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 That was terrible. Partick will be disappointed not to be more goals ahead, because they comfortably had the beating of us there. By starting Bird AND Hylton AND McIntosh, we're effectively playing a 4-3-3, and it shows. We've had to resort to big punts up the pitch, which are being happily swallowed up by the Thistle defence. I'm getting a bit sick of that big punt from Gaston being comfortably headed away with our strikers nowhere near it. We need something else in midfield, as Thistle will happily defend these high balls all day long. The ref is very much favouring both sets of defenders, it feels like our strikers getting absolutely nothing and I can see why Hylton and Bird were so angry. Conversely though, our defence are doing exactly the same to Thistle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Obviously you don't want to see players getting injured, but arguably, that's a good tactical sub. I'm expecting to see more of Hylton now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 That was infuriating, we'd started to come into the game and were playing some good stuff when that happened. Starting to see the influence of Malky's coaching. Slater furiously shouting and pointing, before carefully playing a short suicide pass straight to the opposition was classic Malky! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 All that positivity of a few weeks ago seems a very very long one ago. 9 goals without reply (so far) in two games. Jesus f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9queens Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 It's a funny old game. Dick looked like he had our number tactically in the reverse fixture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Just poor on every level. Line up and tactics were poor, individually, our players have been poor. There have been so many bad passes and slips. They don't seem to be on the same wavelength either. A lot of mistimed runs and passes to nowhere. Its not often I say this, but we just don't look up for the game, and its very rare I think that about a Dick Campbell team. Credit has to go to Thistle for a comprehensive victory, and for looking like a much better team. They have completely nullified us and played some good stuff.

1320Lichtie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Thistle have been the better team but we’ve been EMBARRASSING defensively - that 3rd goal must be the worst I’ve ever seen conceded - pish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Clavdivs Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Never in doubt and great to have Fitzy back in imperious form ably assisted by a much improved McInroy .Everyone played their part and seem to be back on some sort of pleasing form . BBG top scorer in league ...what a Dude. Next up the Chino clad one's Hoofers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 A good old fashioned pumping there. Just significantly better all over the pitch, and if it’d been 6–1 I honestly don’t think Arbroath could’ve felt hard done by. Stanway, Williams and Fitzpatrick the standouts for me, and McInroy was very impressive too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD11 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Concur with what’s been said. Partick well deserved the win and probably should have had more. Arbroath embarrassingly bad. Team selection, formation, hoofball tactics, lack of a plan B when things go wrong, show that the Campbells have little to offer and should consider calling it a day. Ricky Little should also seriously consider if he can continue to play at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptie Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 A pretty shambolic display from Arbroath defensively, opened up far to easily. We just don't look like a team just now. Easiest 3 points Thistle will get this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
