Higginbotham

Another Friday night game for Thistle. We need to shake off the poor performance in the Challenge Cup and try get some momentum in the league. Both sides with a good result in the league last week, so should make for an interesting match.

Hurry up and lose Pars so we can boo and lose more potential sponsors.

Doubt the conditions will make for good football. Hopefully a few changes in the starting 11 from last week. Hastie meant to be retuning to the squad so that at least gives us a different option off the bench, as we have barely got to see what he can offer yet.

Just win please Thistle. Thank you.

No goalkeeper howlers please Thistle. Thank you.

Does anyone know if we are still after Muirhead today, or if the deal is dead in the water?

Good news to read McCall saying Docherty and Hastie should be back in contention for today’s game. We sorely missed Docherty last week in the middle of the park.

Much better performance needed after the Arbroath defeat. If we win this, we will have picked up 9 points out of the opening 4 games which I think a lot of fans would have been happy with. Hopefully a few changes to the side from Saturday. Don’t know a huge amount about Morton’s squad this season, so I won’t bother making a prediction. Please win Thistle Thank you

Aye but he left West Ham this summer, the list on this thread of signings usually says free transfer - from insert club name. So I was just mentioning his last club. I‘ve edited it though to clarify we haven’t bought him.

Thistle sign centre back Tunji Akinola from West Ham on a free transfer, signing a one year deal.

Does anyone know if we have a signing coming in soon? McCall mentioned something about a deal for a loan player being tied up soon and that was around last Thursday. Unsure of whether it is McDaid or someone else, but hopefully a winger and full back signed before Arbroath.

Elliott was mainly a solid player for us at right back and even filled in at left back on occasions. His final season for us at full back was realistically his worst while playing as a full back as he lost his confidence when he was captain and never fully recovered it, although did have an upturn in form towards the end of the campaign. And as already mentioned was a really nice guy.

Away fans return! Hopefully we keep up our good form and pick up the three points. I expect a tough game though.
