Didn’t look fit when he first signed, ended up one of our better players at the tail end of the season. If McCall didn’t have Milne signed up I have no doubts we would have kept him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few players we released I wouldn’t have been against keeping to be a backup this season.

McMillan and Milne have the FB positions locked up, and we have 4 CBs on the books already. Hodson will probably slot immediately into the team in the short term because of the CBs in the squad Muirhead and Akinola are both out and Brownlie looks a long way from match fitness, so we’re really short at CB right now. Whether that ends up being Hodson’s role or if he plays RB with McMillan moving inside I suppose we’ll find out tomorrow. Unless some of these injuries end up being long term, though, Hodson won’t be expected to start every week. McMillan has started well and I don’t see this being another Naismith situation. It’s a weird a thing match fitness. How do you get it without playing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna has been gash at right back, like people on here said he would be. Murray has actually been really good but still has a tendency to drift out of games, and Hendrie isn’t fit enough right now apparently as he’s not had a pre season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Magyar Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I expected 6 points out of 9 for our first three games, a loss at Dundee and wins V Accies and QP. 4 out of 9? Not a good start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good start. I fancied us to beat Accies but I always felt we’d be in for a tough match today. Plenty of football to be played obviously but 4 out of 9 is not the start we’d have been looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) having a wee look at the os match reports, competitive set piece goals conceded so far: 1x killie away, group stages 1x montrose at home, group stages 2x dundee away, league 2x qp away, league Idk how that compares to other sides in the league but thats not great, surely? edit: the 4 in 3 league games stands out as pretty poor.

We really don’t need it becoming a ‘thing’ again. The curtailed season where we got relegated, it felt like we were going to concede everytime the opposition got a corner. Of course we have a far better team now but no side can afford to give away cheap goals from set pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a concern, didn't see the game live today but just saw the goals on jagzone, don't think you could blame Mitchell for the set piece goals in terms of him being able to stop them, first goal was a free kick "one from the training ground" routine where Fitzpatrick switched off and didn't track his man, and the third goal was an outswinging corner where Milne was beaten to the first ball about ten yards out and also beaten to the the rebound when it hit Tunji / Simon Murray. However there is an argument that the keeper should be organising the defence at set pieces and to lose around a goal a game on average from them so far this season (higher if you count the games Mitchell played, which contain all of the set piece concessions) isn't great. I said McCall wouldn't chop and change keepers after last season's experience but I think he might for Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt he will as he is a very stubborn and belligerent manager at times. Archie was the same when he was manager. Keep doing the same thing over and over in the premise that at some point it will work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle4eva Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 The 4-3-3 he’s playing doesn’t work. Why play Fitz on the left and Lawless n the right it’s not working the way he wants it to. This only works when you control the game, all we are getting is 2 full backs constantly out of position when we relentlessly lose the ball. And we don’t have someone to sit front of our centre half’s and protect them. Stuck up for McCall so many times but Jesus Christ.. if you want to play that way you need a guy that that can slip into defence and cover when your full/wing backs are up the park. Akinola is completely fucked also he’s clearly a confidence player, the way the passes through our defence for the second was embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Surprised to see this, at 31 would’ve thought Christie could still do a job for someone. Good luck to him anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
