helps though if we could hit the target and make the keep work a wee bit 2 shots on target doesn`t set the heather alight ,
thinking we Probably used our Goal tally up against Livi for the next lot of games

Scrappy game. They took their chance. We didn`t. Harsh to lose that but if you can`t hit the target from 8 yards then that`s what happens.

I won`t be demanding we sack McPakes because of that result

How can we play so well against Livi only to go back to the usual rubbish a few days later? Partick were poor and punished us with their second and final shot on goal. The only chances we had were Hamilton missing his open goal and Mebude being millimetres away from a cross but again we failed to test the keeper, which is disgraceful.

The squad we have should be nowhere near 9th but the performances are not good enough and that blame has to lie with McPake. Unfortunately, he looks to have the safest job in football! When did we last win a league game on a Saturday?

Tough one to take when in reality they`ve scored from one of their few chances and Hamilton blazed our only chance over the bar when it looked easier to score.

Having said that the intensity from Tuesday was gone, the subs were poor (Ngwenya in particular coming off when he was one of the few outlets was wild) and there are serious questions needing asked again about the squad building. Wotherspoon playing means Todd is shunted out left where he`s totally ineffective in both directions. Nothing up top when Kane isn`t fit. Terrible.

Losing the first goal was crucial. Partick could then drop off, comfortable in the knowledge that we were never going to open them up. Losing Kane was almost the knockout blow.
Very poor defending by Ngwenya, being easily beaten by the full back and then lunging in
Hamilton should be scoring and he knows more than anybody, but other than that, I don’t recall another chance second half.

Yeah it was obv after 10 minutes Partick were much better and could play through our press quite comfortably. Looks a bit more like livi didn’t fancy it on Tuesday.

Normal service resume, McCann like a man down but it’s not through lack of effort it’s a lack of everything else and generally we were second to everything. Partick a bigger team so we won very little in the air and once Kane went off so did any goal threat we had.

Mebude can be good but one of these guys where 9/10 he’s not going to look up try a pass and will then lose the ball. Young had his worst game I have seen, couldn’t pass water today.

Back to looking like a squad lacking championship level attacking options and if Kane is out for any games it’s back to rarely looking like scoring.

We have a decent lower championship squad if everyone has a good game but that’s not going to happen very often.

Mention for KRH tho who looked better when he came on, he should have done enough to start next game with mccann dropping out.

No end product again. Final pass, finishing, attacking headers all lacking today.

Shows how inconsistent our attackers are as well - KRH put a wonderful ball in at one point, then from an easier position manages to drill one against their first man…….if Dapo had a left foot he may have gotten a shot off from a great position in run up to Hamilton chance - which was howling in itself.

On a small side note - how far off it does Todd look? Looked today like he had lost any pace that he had before his lay off. Surprised he was selected over Sutherland/Wighton up top for Kane as looked like he was towing a trailer from the minute he came on.

Also not Sam Youngs best game today either, which is expected at his age. Now will see if he has the ability just now to go at this level with his next performance, or if it will lead to another Ross Graham period. (Ps not a slight on him or Graham)

Todd is wasted on the left. He clearly doesn`t like playing there and that will be subconsciously affecting his drive, his energy levels etc. It`s a criminal waste when McPake plays him out there.

I thought the legs looked a bit tired from Tuesday. We lost a goal to another back post ball. In my view, Partick are going to be there or there abouts at the end of the season. The teams were pretty even, I thought, with Partick more of a goal threat. They pressed us today and pushed and pulled their way to that result.We have definitely improved, but it is that lack of goal attempts that is hurting us. I thought a few bad touches and a few bad decisions in the final third cost us attempts on goal.if you are going to go wide and run to the byline you need to get something from it either a cross or corner. I thought when Dapo came into the centre when Kane went off, he looked much better. David Wotherspoon deserved the man of the match.

Overall, we didn`t deserve to lose, but we didn`t deserve to win. Partick are probably going to be our biggest test in this league, and I think they will be up there at the end of the season.

Players like Dapo and Todd still look a bit short of fitness so it`s about giving them game time to get them sharper.

We didn’t bring anyone in until after the season started. We’ve been playing catch up ever since but now that the squads had a bit of time together, I think we look like a mid table team. You’re right tho, our horrendous start has put us under huge pressure and we’re basically playing from now to the end of the season with survival being the main priority.

Honestly, doesn’t matter who the manager is if we are going to decide we won’t start recruitment until august.

Bad decisions on substitutions. Once we took off Ngwenya we nullified any threat down the left and created nothing thereafter. Once Kane went off he should have bought on Sutherland immediately not Tod!

My opinion but JMc gave Partick the game with his substitutions. Wighton offers nothing and playing so long without a striker was crazy!

I want JM to succeed but he has had too long to turn this around. It’s getting really depressing. We have good players but poor management.

Od actually say after listening to the mcpake post match he is spot on. Nothing in the game but we give them a goal from a set piece which has been an area of concern for us this year. I think this squad is probably mid table at best. We need multiple chances to score we just don`t create enough in most games.

With a beefed up squad we have amassed 5 points from the last 6 games. The default league position for this squad is exactly where we are. If everyone has a good game we can give teams a decent game but I’ve seen this once maybe twice this season (giving the benefit of the doubt on the rovers game)

We’re not moving up the table and look unlikely to be able to make the strides required to do so….ie string a few wins together like rovers have. We’re more likely to get cut adrift along with Morton and airdrie than pull away from them.

If kane is out for any length of time we’re screwed.

Nothing whatsoever between the two teams today, in fact we were pushing on more than they were. Two moments turned the game, poor defending to allow them a free header and then a shocker of a miss from the usually brilliant Hammy. We were more than competitive so let’s not overreact.

We have struggled to score goals ever since McPake took over, even the season we were promoted. He has failed to properly address the problem. No point in dominating games if you are inept in front of goals and we are definitely that. Unfortunately, Tuesday was the exception, not the rule. For that reason, can`t see anything but a fight at the bottom for us this season if nothing changes.

Absolute howling miss from Hamilton today which would have saved a point.

If only we had a natural striker then we may have scored two goals today. Certainly wasn’t much between the teams.we really don’t deal well with defending crosses into the box. Considering we now have a fair bit of height in the team we should do better.
It’s definitely looking like it’s going to be hard to get away from the bottom of the table. Hopefully we can ask Santa for a striker on loan, who can actually get the ball in the net.

I thought the first half PT pressed us and had better touches on the ball. You can only play as well as the other side, let`s you. I thought we went wide too many times and got nothing from it. We have improved in my view and stood up much better to PT than the previous game. The last 15 minutes, they wasted time and looked a bit desperate defensively. Physiologically, I think teams are coming here now with the view that we are not such an easy team to beat from the first quarter of the season. We need to score goals to the point that if we push forward and lose a goal, we need to believe we can go up the other end and score. We need two goals a game in this league.

We have all seen where our problems Lay and one is basics IE: defending the back post ! we seem to give most teams the freedom of KDM to do as they wish
But our Biggest problem is if we give a goal away , it`s hard to see where we are going to get a goal from !
This more than anything is killing us off where a game is tight
We should have got a natural striker in ! it would be better to do without a couple of ordinary players and pay the wages for someone who knows where the back of the net is , but our recruitment strategy is always last gasp so we get to pick who nobody else want`s , although this season there were also underlying problems which we did not know about till late , but it`s still not good enough to expect what we have to score Goals because at present none are good enough

Our owners have let the fans down money allocation and timings for signing players and the quality of the management they have signed has been very poor. Hopefully our new owners are a bit more savvy.

If we look like a mid table team then why are we not mid table?

Lots could change with ownership and management but if we go with what we have now then it looks like we’ll be fighting it out to avoid the relegation playoffs.

Thank god for airdrie eh.


Because we have only looked like a mid table team for the last few weeks, following a few additions. I`m sure you could have figured that out.

I think you can lament losing the goal from the set piece and another goal against us at the back post, but fundamentally, there is always the likelihood that you will lose a goal, particularly against most of the teams in this league. The focus needs to be how we can create more goal scoring opportunities and be more clinical in front of goal.

Despite the loss today, I see improvement and no lack of effort. It`s a case of keep plugging away and being positive. Positivity is a self fulfilling prophecy.

We are not going to win the league and we won`t get relegated.a playoff spot should be the objective and is not out of reach in my view. I haven`t seen a team in this league that is a standout. We are no better or worse than anyone else. The difference is simply scoring goals. You have a run of 2 or 3 wins and everything changes.

I`d agree but I don`t think we score enough and unfortunately that will stop us going on the run required to get a play off place. Lower league championship side probably.

First half nothing in it, Thistle having that chance just before half time only thing I can remember.

Second half we were better and thought the goal came against the run of play. Poor defending from ngwnega to give away the free kick and Hammy should have buried that chance.

From then on we didn`t do much and subs did nothing of note.

That was my point tbh 😂 Tuesday felt good especially as it was against the form book but in hindsight watching both games, Livi weren’t able to deal with our physicality but Thistle were able to match it.
We should have had the corner, they get a free kick and score from it.
We miss a blatant chance and then didn’t make the best of the following opportunities.

I thought Ngwenye was our best player in the first half and most of the second, apart from maybe the covering at their goal. I was very disappointed with Dapo Mebude. Having seen decent flashes of skill in his recent substitute appearances, I was expecting a lot more from him, but he was largely ineffectual throughout. You couldn`t fault the team for effort but the skill and at times, the pace of our front men wasn`t good enough to threaten Thistle`s goal. Poor Chris Hamilton will be having nightmares about the miss. I don`t remember him scoring for Dunfermline, so maybe it fell to the wrong man ( but with so few getting on the score sheet, it might be difficult to identify who the right man may be). Very disappointing day, especially sitting with my PT supporting pal in the Norrie. We sure did play into their hands by gifting them the first goal. They seem to know how to defend a one goal lead. The same pattern of spoiling the game comes into play when we succumb to a one goal deficit.

I was quite positive at HT. Thought we had played the game in their half and a goal was coming although we hadn`t worked their keeper enough. I just had the feeling we were a team more on the front foot and with a bit more urgency than of late. I wasn`t there Tuesday.
But after Kane went off we were always going to struggle. Yes Hammy could have scored but it came to him quickly and at a height that looked hard to keep down. KRH had a couple of decent balls in but it is so frustrating to see some of them blocked by the first man when we look to be in a good position because decent service into the strikers is in such short supply. I firmly believe that Kane looks like the only 1 likely to score from open play cause he can create and score. Anyway as soon as they scored, that was it and we looked less and less likely to equalise the longer it went on. First time I`ve seen Mebude and he looks a handful without really threatening their goal. I just hope his tendancy to hold on to the ball too long isn`t a regular feature of his play cause on at least 1 occasion we could have scored if he`d released it.

Best post on this thread, JTH. I very rarely post straight after a defeat because emotions are high and negativity is rife. To suggest we were "dung" is nonsense. We didn`t do nearly enough to say we should have won the game but a draw would have been a fair result. It became increasingly obvious as the game went on that one goal was likely to win it - unfortunately, Partick got it. Even so, Hammy will be gutted he snatched at that chance. When Kane had to come off, we lost any goalscoring threat. My mate, who`s played the game to a decent level, predicted that Todd would come on for Kane and Dapo would move into the middle.

The thread I started after the Livi game was very tongue-in-cheek, precisely because many fans get far too carried away after a win and far too down after a defeat. I don`t think there`s that much between all the teams in this league, with the possible exception of Airdrie, who are making a habit of losing. We`re not scoring nearly enough but at least we`re not shipping goals like Airdrie and Morton did yesterday. If we can sort that out, we`ll climb up the table. Tuesday was a false dawn, perhaps helped by Livi`s insistence on playing out from the back.i`m hopeful that the upcoming fixtures will yield some much needed points. Scoring the first goal in these games would be a great tactic. 🙂

We are a better side than we were at the start of the season so that`s encouraging. The only difference between the sides yesterday was the fact that they scored. I thought on too many occasions going wide we didn`t benefit from it. We either lost the ball in key positions or it went out for a goal kick or throw in to the opposition. You lose impetus, and the advantage. It`s a bit too predicable. We need to come inside and drive towards goal a bit more. Knock the ball to feet inside the box and increase the tempo and movement in the final third. Dapo had long spells out of the game but I thought he did better in the central role when Kane went off with his movement and touch on the ball. David Wotherspoon was excellent I thought with some of his passes and crosses into the box.

We really needed an aerial threat yesterday as the game wore on.

It’s going to have to be an excellent cross in to pick out a pars player against the likes of Ashcroft. Esepchailly if not near the byline when it comes in.

Wotherspoon was really good and tried to grab the game by the scruff of the neck but there was only so much he can do and lacked anything around him.

There was a comment on here a week or so ago about how dapo could be so good once fit his teammates might not be able to keep up with him, it looks like they won’t have to as he doesn’t bother looking up for a pass anyway! At this point his contribution is largely that he’ll either win you a corner or just give the ball away. Needs to up his game a level as it’s all on him if the creativity and threat on the other side is McCann.

Yesterday was the best I`ve seen Wotherspoon but unfortunately a lot of his good work was quite far from goal.
Agree about the cross balls Berkey and I`ve said over the last few weeks that we don`t put enough early balls into the box when it`s less congested. But the really alarming thing for me is that they seem to be our only hope from open play as its hard to see a chance being created through the middle unless Kane goes all Rambo and tries to drive through himself.

I thought yesterday was a well contested match and there isn’t much between the teams. Thistle had two chances, one in the first when we nicked the ball off Robinson and one in the second, which they scored from.

Poor from Ngwenya selling himself and then diving in, and then we don’t defend the free kick.

Hamilton should have scored and you could see how gutted he was with the miss.

I can see improvements in how we’re playing - it’s nowhere near as bad as it was early in the season. The effort is there but without Kane we don’t seem to have a goal threat. We were putting crosses into the box but no one there. I know todorov hasn’t really done it since he left, but having someone like him on the bench when we reach that point of swinging the balls in could have been the difference.

Thought Wotherspoon and Benedictus were our best players.

Young struggled at times so be interesting to see if he keeps his place next week with Fogarty on the bench.

I think if we play with the levels of effort we did yesterday we’ll start picking up more points. A draw would have been fair.

Agree re Todorov. When we released him after winning league 1 I expected an upgrade. We got O’Halloran probably on big money 2 year deal. That`s on McPake.

We currently have 3 massive players in our squad. Tobi Otoo and Kane. It seems to me that if one of them is missing we revert back to our very worst type.

Hopefully Kane is OK for next week. Same team bar Otoo for Hamilton and we`ll be in with a chance. We are improving but admittedly from a very low bar.

I was really disappointed by yesterday`s display. After Tuesday I was hoping we would kick on and gain some momentum but, although it was a pretty even game, we failed to impose ourselves and lost a soft goal. This has happened too many times this season.

The thing that impressed me most about Falkirk last weekend was their ability to play precise football in the final third. Most teams resort to hit-and-hope balls into the box or aimless shots from distance but they were always trying to play passes into the area to team-mates who were constantly on the move creating space and harassing defenders. That is something we sadly lack.

I think Young may be rested next week. His distribution yesterday was very erratic and often resulted in us losing any momentum we had created. Plus signs are the increasing influence of senior players like Kane, Wotherspoon and Bene who were all written off for various reasons earlier in the season.

Replacing 6 outfield players during a game where you need to establish some rhythm and momentum is just crazy and smacks of desperation. I`d like to see the number of subs limited to, say, 3.

The manager seemed more upset about the goal we conceded than the gilt-edged chance we missed which maybe says something about his mindset. That must be the most clear-cut opportunity we have created all season and, striker or not, Hammy should have put it away. Equalising so soon after they scored could have turned the game in our favour.

Fogarty might be in for Bene. He took 2 sore ones yesterday. KRH didn`t offer much yesterday IMHO. Gets into great positions, 1 from an excellent through ball by Wotherspoon, but more often than not he just doesn`t pick the right final ball.

Totally disagree with that. The amount of times he had space, was screaming for the ball because he was free, and we went down the left was unbelievable.

I agree he has generally been disappointing so far this season, but yesterday he offered a lot but never actually got the ball

Nothing whatsoever between the two teams today, in fact we were pushing on more than they were. Two moments turned the game, poor defending to allow them a free header and then a shocker of a miss from the usually brilliant Hammy. We were more than competitive so let’s not overreact.


You mean we shouldn’t overreact like we did after the kick result saying we should expect a top 4 finish?


Except that isn`t what actually happened


You were one of them…

I see you’re now back tracking after thinking about it

What was it you said?

Oh aye “I expect top 4” 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂


And I followed that up shortly after, which you know fine well.

KRH didn`t offer much yesterday IMHO. Gets into great positions, 1 from an excellent through ball by Wotherspoon, but more often than not he just doesn`t pick the right final ball.

That was very similar to a lot of games this season – not a great deal between the sides, but the Pars being edged out due to a combination of mistakes and bluntness in attack.

Thistle will have done their homework and didn’t allow us to close the down so much and nullified our limited threats.

Another series of errors for their goal – Ngwenya is done for pace (to be fair the lad is fast), dives in and doesn’t win the ball. I’m not sure if the fake delivery was a ploy, or whether we were caught out but we didn’t defend the first ball and were undone at the other post (again).

I don’t actually remember getting a shot on target – a couple of blocks perhaps, but Hamilton’s miss is pretty bad.

The substitutions were a bit odd (not least because there were 6 of them).

KRH for McCann at H/T was unusually early – not sure if McCann had a knock, or whether it was thought KRH could get after the left back but the lack of height thereafter was an issue. KRH had a mixed game – wilfully ignored a lot of the time, beat his man well a couple of times but not great delivery.

Kane was more concerning. Presumably it was under the concussion rule, but I think it was a couple of minutes after the head-knock. Did symptoms not manifest themselves immediately, or was it precautionary? It was notable that it was Todd, not Wighton that replaced him, with Dapo moving to the middle.

The others were a bit of a mish-mash and I didn’t discern a clear plan. If Otoo was to provide drive from midfield, why did he then move to left back? Was it because of Ngwenya’s yellow card? It all seemed a bit random – throw some people on, give the ball to Wotherspoon and hope something happens.

Spoony has come onto something resembling a game now. Whether the greater squad depth means he has had to pull up his socks, or it`s taken longer to get the hang of new team mates and a new style, I don`t know. Either explanation would be a function of our refusal to "do our business early". I imagine there could be financial reasons for this but whether this has been quantified in terms of points would be something I`d like to know.

According to a stat I saw we have had more shots this season than Thistle, and more shots on target, but have scored fewer than half the goals. I think the last stat is significant. We do look pretty average without Kane and need a way to work round his absence

“KRH didn`t offer much yesterday IMHO. Gets into great positions, 1 from an excellent through ball by Wotherspoon, but more often than not he just doesn`t pick the right final ball.”

Da no 1 it’s a shame you cast such a critical eye over KRH but won’t hear a bad word against McCann who is worse in his decision making. KRH offered so much more than McCann did on sat before he was quite rightly hooked.

I got those saying we need McCann in for his height but have you seen him in air? He doesn’t actually win many headers at all, struggles to time his jumps and is regularly caught under the ball.

I`m sorry Berkey but to say that McCann doesn`t win many headers is complete nonsense. He is actually not bad on the air usually flicking on lost causes because we can`t seem to run behind our striker.

c'mon the pars

If he was half decent in the air he’d have more goals and assists. For someone of his height he doesn’t win as much as you would expect.

I’m not saying he doesn’t win anything and now he’s been put out on the wing he’s up against smaller full backs but it’s so rare he wins a header and it actually goes to a pars player.

You might find a better tactic is to play KRH and either keep in on the deck or look for balls over the top.

But that`s not what you said earlier. You said he doesn`t win many headers at all and now you`ve changed it to he doesn`t win much that goes to a pars player. That`s why I said your original post was nonsense.

Another brutal performance so when will this end? The Germans keeping the management untill they sell and we could be relegated? The whole club is a shambles from top right down to the pars tv bottom😅(only joking as I don’t want a red)
I did say this could happen when the German mob took over and tried the academy way and the be nice in football or whatever they spout…

It wasn’t exactly the best advert for the championship - by that I mean both teams performances and the standard of officiating. Frustrating not taking advantage of that though to earn at least a point.
