Partick Thistle -V- Inverness CT - Preview

[Robert]

Carson lucky not to have gifted the third goal there. We should be 3 down. 

[Satan]

Carson trying to give Graham his hattrick.

I think the midfield is pretty weak, lacks pace and us providing little link up with the defence or attack, hence the hoofball.

 .

On the midfield, I’ve thought for a while we need three in there as teams know how to play us.

Tonight is reinforcing that view. 

[Robert]

Carson fouls Graham. Penalty.

Shambles ! 

[Robert]

3-0.

No-one beat us by more than 1 in the league last season.

Boyd on for Mackay. Another one who’s underperformed tonight.

Hyde might be out of position, but both goals came from the right .

Yeah, But Hyde didn't track back to cover Tiffoney's run who took the ball away from Ridgers.

[SteveA]

Shambolic performance. 

[Yngwie]

Get Hyde back on 

[Howdenender]

Well, this is embarrassing.

 

 

[Yngwie]

Blow the final whistle, ref.

Exactly!!

Hyde was exposed tonight you could see after minutes he was out of his depth.I hope his confidence doesn't take a hit. Defence poor and midfield not in charge. Missing experienced players tonight.

I'm sure he wasn't expecting the Deas assist,  like most of us watching.

[Satan]

McGregor off...surely Allardice must do the walk of shame too.

[Robert]

Shaw on for MacGregor.

I really like Roddy but central midfield as part of a pairing is not his best position. We need Carson or Welsh in there with Allardice and Roddy either a third one or playing further forward in the no 10 role.

Agreed it would be nice to have Welsh in there but it would also be nice to see Welsh stay fit for a long period. Always seems to play a few games then gets injured and is out for weeks. The problem is he's so injury prone. It's really frustrating with him. If Carson went into midfield we then don't have anyone to play right back. Again it shows the madness to not sign full backs.

4-0. Carson not doing any better than Hyde!!

[CaleyCiuin]

Embarrassing now

[Satan]

And the demolition is complete , beating the inexperienced rightback with a cross which is headed in about two feet off the ground. 

[Robert]

Maybe the reality check we need.

Other than the first 45 against Cove we’ve not been convincing.

Yes we are missing players but we have a larger squad than last season.

Time to think whether we are too predictable and accept that teams know how to play against us and perhaps be more varied in our approach.

Tonight I think we asked too much of Hyde whilst we should have had three in central midfield but it is easy to be wise after the event.

We need to get our act together if we see ourselves as promotion contenders.

[Yngwie]

Defence has been a mess, but when we’ve got into the final third the crossing/shooting has been pretty awful too.

[Robert]

A consolation by Oakley.

How do we pick the players to get points in the MOM? The only players deserving points were our opponents.

Maybe Delaney, Mckay and Oakley?

Back to the drawing board as Plan A is not working because teams know how we set up and play.A few minutes in you could tell Tiffoney was going to rip us apart and he did and we did nothing in first 45 to try and nullify the threat.

[+snorbens_caleyman]

Why did no one claim for the penalty just before they scored their 4th???  The ball clearly came off the Partick keeper and then struck a defender on his arm.  McKay just shrugged his shoulders, and Partick went down the other end and scored.

It wasn't a penalty against us either.  Carson had his foot in front of the Partick forward's foot, and both missed the ball.

The referee was absolutely terrible.  Missed all the play-acting by Tiffoney, and the constant niggling by Graham.

Right now I am so glad that I don't have to watch this every week.
