Hows he getting on now we're a bit further on?

Still showing promise?

No. He's currently injured after hurting himself in training with Thistle and was last seen limping about with a moon boot.

He might be back in action by October-ish.

Pleased with this signing, hopefully will be decent at this level and it now gives us another option at LB with Holt almost certainly going to remain in central defence. I’d imagine Foster will now head to RB (although there’s a valid argument he’s been better on the left). 

It's unlikely that were many other, if any, available LBs with the necessary experience. 

When McKenna and Bell return from injury, there will be competition and cover for each defensive position.

Another striker would help.

Don’t think we need another striker. Realistically, anyone we could get now won’t be better than Graham or Rudden, so would be third/fourth choice. Anyone happy to do that will be shite. Our squad is already relatively large, so f**k knows what wages we’ll still have to offer too. 

We’d likely just change system a bit and play Smith/Turner centrally with Hastie and Tiffoney wide if one of our Rudden or Graham get injured.

112 years ago today Thistle played their first-ever match at Firhill, the stadium of dreams, the palace of the gallus. It's the place we've called home since 1909, but there's a lot more to the old ground than just Partick Thistle. Which Olympic champion ran at Firhill? Which Jag was born closest to the ground? Heard about the time we burned the pitch? Firhill's stories are as weird and wonderful as the club itself; join us for a 30-minute celebration of  The Life And Times Of Firhill Park →

Supporting the piece, we have  14 new list pages → breaking down all the (mainly non PTFC) Firhill activity from 1909 to date.  Our ambitious Firhill diary →  goes for the full megalist approach.

Happy birthday Firhill!

Ah! The old lady. Loved the days under the shed. Fantastic atmosphere.

Our defence is far too soft. Need to get it sorted and stop playing centre backs at right back too. Foster could do with getting binned too - he loses the head and swipes at players. He’s a liability.

Playing just about all of our defenders out of position was always a suspect strategy to begin with, and because we got a few wins early in the season by doing it, it seems to have stuck.

McKenna just isn't good enough, really. Holt is passable as a CB (his contribution up the other end helps as well) and you can probably say the same thing for Foster at LB, but they're both the bare minimum of what's acceptable as a starter at this level. Time to change things up.
