V Partick Thistle Sat7thOCT

[Douglas Mackenzie]

Well done to all the boys. I thought that was a much better team performance.First half was scrappy and first 15 minutes we looked shaky,but second half we came in to our own and had some good touches with all getting pass marks.Only criticism  I would have is we should shoot on sight rather than try and pass the ball in.The team seems to have found some belief and have harnessed the passion guile and drive off big Dunc.At times we looked like Caley of old with some edge of the seat moments.Gone is hoof ball and great to see Dunc get the boys to push forward and have a high line,but get them all behind the ball when not in possession.Promising outlook.

Similar game to united couple o weeks ago I felt. At no point did we look like scoring. It's a worry that we're so toothless up front. Other than that happy enough with a point. 

[tm4tj]

On the plus side, we never really looked like losing.

[+jagster]

We definitely played much better today The players looked altogether happier and looked like they were playing for each other. Great to see big Dunc acknowledging the fans after the game. Feck knows how he stood all game with a jumper and shirt on in that weather Hard as Nails. In  Dunc we believe

[caley100]

Yeah, point was ok, But jeez do we not look like scoring a goal at home! totally crap home record.

Anyway onwards and upwards.... hopefully

One special mention. Nathan Shaw put in a tackle in the second half not long before he went off. Outstanding and then set up a great move. Never gave in 

[tm4tj]

Yes, it was brilliant, I'm waiting for his first ever header now...

In fairness, his general ball playing is decent, his tackling back...., his getting off the deck to head a ball is non existent, on a par with Jordan White, something his manager will hopefully address.

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, I enjoyed the Z Cars music as our team came out.

Was he injured? Anyone know why he was taken off? Seemed a bizarre substitution! 

[tm4tj]

Apart from all the guff here, trying to work out why all the media luvvies think Partick are the big team...

The all spout the same sh!te that Partick were held to a draw........

Hold on a minute, but God forbid, here's another view:

Inverness were held to a draw???

Why are we always subject to these central belt weegie headlines. It completely misconstrues the situation.

Meh!

No sign of an injury. Mckay had taken a knock so I assumed the double switch was to put Lodovica and Brooks up top and allow Samuels to play wide right.

Shaw was quieter than in some games so it wasn’t a great surprise.

Yes, noticed that on the BBC match report.

Thought it was a thoroughly entertaining match and apart from the first 10 minutes or so, we pretty much controlled the game.

Now if only we could score . . .

You have been on the drink celebrating a draw jagster and you can't remember 

[Yngwie]

Had to go through a 9 hour flight with no idea of the result until we landed. Mixed feelings, like most of us. Stating the obvious but great to keep a clean sheet, not so great to not score or create much up front.

The classic way to turn round a failing team is t9 sort the defence first so maybe that is encouraging.

[forresjags]

Get the terrible conditions didn't help, but thought we were a lot of 'huff and puff' yesterday and lacked creativity . All just a wee bit flat, Patrick not much better though 

On the plus side the central defence looks pretty solid and willing to carry the ball out ,as opposed to the usual long punt.

Early days I suppose ,but the table does look alarming as we head into winter. Cannot afford a repeat of the last 2 winters

 

[STFU]

A clean sheet against the league's top scorers.

Even without all our struggles of late, that would have been a positive and a draw more than acceptable.
