Robin.Hood Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thought we really struggled to get to grips with the formation for the first half hour or so but it seemed to just click at some point and from then on our shape was great and the game was only ever going one way. I think Neilson deserved at least some criticism for our performances during a spell at the start of the season, but today really convinced me that we have a very good manager on our hands. Really wasn’t easy to put a balanced team out with only one fit central midfielder but the system worked perfectly once we got going. Powers and Banks probably the stand outs along with Shankland obviously who was just unplayable. Good to see Pawlett back too, he blows hot & cold but still has a lot to offer.Banks wasnt playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 With the winter break on, took my son to this game to get out the house. As everyone has said Thistle were by far the better team until losing a stupid goal from a corner. From then on it looked liked it could have been as many as United wanted it to be. The confidence seemed to disappear totally from Thistle and the United players were suddenly able to control the ball and pass to each other O’Ware looked dreadful and kept on defending deep and playing United onside. Miller should have scored a couple but never looked convincing anytime he went to shoot. Big January for McCall and United need to hope that they can keep Shankland, he looked a totally different play from when he played for Saints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks wasnt playing Glass even. Whoever 21 was. First time I’d seen him tbh, looks a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Patterson Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Good to see us with another 3 points on the board. Also great to see Paul the Tim's meltdown as well. Is it true that Thistle are paying Miller £3k a week? if so he must have the world's greatest agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kenny Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It was similar to the home game against Dundee. Played well for 30 minutes without taking our chances, lose a soft goal and then completely fall out the game. Difference being this time United have far better players and one great player who took us a part. As good as Shankland is our defending is laughable. O’Ware and Saunders are hopeless, I’d be happy if they both got punted at the end of the year. Our midfield is way too soft, United just ran through the middle time after time. Fox was poor as well for a couple of the goals, no excuse for not coming for a cross a yard from his line. Outwith Shankland I was impressed with Glass, Smith and Appere for United. Funny to see Powers get a lot of praise, I thought he looked slow and ponderous when the game was tight at 0-0. Easy to look good when coasting at 4-0 and you’ve got the freedom of Firhill. Not sure he’ll be the level United require for the premier. It was his debut though, perhaps being a bit harsh. Miller can go anytime, a legacy from Caldwell that sums up the state he left us in. McCall has a big job on his hands, some big games coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can handle them both getting new deals mind you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was watching the game, I felt like Stuart Bannigan was doing the defensive work for the entire midfield. He was the running around the most breaking up play, making the passes etc. Your number 12 did f**k all, he was best not showing up. If I remember correctly Reece Cole is pretty well liked by your support so maybe that was just a bad game though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders wasn’t mentioned. McCall trying to get the players he wants to keep on longer contracts. Saunders has been good over the last month but I can’t see him or McGinty being at the club next season Edited January 12, 2020 by Sting777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I loved the marking on Shankland for his third or fourth goal where he ran from the half way line with no Thistle player anywhere near him. Pointed this out to my mate, next thing BANG 3 or more probably 4-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
