The Partick Thistle thread


Recommended Posts

I don't think Miller was terrible for us.  It's a pretty fucking huge thing to take away, but if you take away the money we undoubtedly used up on him, he was...alright.  Just alright.  The engine for his age was great, and he always gave at least the appearance that he cared and was trying (which has sometimes eluded forwards we've signed).  However, you can't talk about how he's done without thinking that he probably took up the wages of 2 or 3 players, and had we signed a couple of journeyman forwards, would they have really done that much worse?  He also seemed like he'd be absolutely fucking miserable to play with.  The sort of guy who turns up to a kickabout that most people are wanting to enjoy and just moans and moans and moans like it's a cup final.  Best exemplified by the one a few weeks ago where he gave up on a cross to give the crosser a bollocking, while the ball slowed, stopped, and stayed in play while he continued to point and shout.  Lots of effort, but not enough quality.

We win the January transfer window 

He absolutely has. By miles.

So you should mind given that you are clearly working with a budget miles and miles in front of everyone else other than United who clearly don't need to make major changes and had such a low bar to improve. Can't knock him for doing it well though. On paper Thistle should be massively improved in the 2nd half of the season.

Paid a fee for him as well. Should do well for you guys, but he will polarise your fan base like nobody else.

 

Great, we've just moved on from Kenny Miller 😉

We just need a centre half. Any word on Brownlie? 🤔😉

Good signings so far, I like how McCall has gone from "3 or 4" before the window to signing 5 and still wanting one or two more. 

Still think we're in huge need of a centre half between now and the end of the season, the attack has been OK but the defence has been awful, zero clean sheets in the league is nuts.

Miller going is fine by me. Was decent until Caldwell left, and since has spent most of the time dropping deep, leaving us with no strikers, or pointing about. Definitely not lazy, but not arsed about seeing him leave.

A starting eleven of this looks very decent indeed:

Fox
O’Connor, Saunders, O’Ware, Penrice
Bannigan, Mackinnon, Barjonas
Cole
Rudden, Graham

Like others, a(t least one) CB is desperately required, but I think McCall knows that, especially if, like he’s said before, he prefers to play 5-3-2. McGinty and Robson getting to f**k would also be excellent. Either way, this has been a cracking window.

Don’t think we have a higher than Dundee or Inverness either
