His record in the league with what was widely regarded as a shambles of a squad was 3 wins from the first 6, and 9 points from 8 games. Tick. Tock. To be fair you put that in a kind of rose tinted glasses shine - one win was against Hartley managed Falkirk whom many Falkirk fans describe as putting together the worst team in their history. the game against Morton was against a managerless team whose manager had only left the previous evening. the win against QOS was good despite calamity bells attempts to try and lose us the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the same Weir’s that cleared the club’s substantial debt (over £1m) and asked for nothing in return, while previous directors (lifelong Thistle fans) previously cleared debt but took chunks of the ground to cover it and they still have it to this day!

We desperately need three players.

Our squad size is not fine - technically we had upfront Storey, Doolan, McDonald, Roy and mansell up front- now we have only miller mansell and jones - so we are light - I agree mansell and jones look rubbish but we are still short on strikers. Being pedantic but we technically had 3 goalkeepers but now we have 2 - not that we need a third but thought that would have freed up a wage for elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think O’Ware is struggling with last years injury, so at this moment in time we need some players in.

Having five strikers last year was too many, and a fat lot of good it did us anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
