norrie82 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) It's important to remain calm here. We are suffering from losing a few key players to injury and of course Mallan is a big loss. I hope the manager can quickly solve the striking position and allow is to have an outball as presently it's not sticking. I think we also need to find a couple of really physical players as today it looked like men versus boys. Thistle were faster passed it better and quickly and often tore us apart. At present though we will do well to finish 6/7th. NEED more quality than what we have at present. Edited July 22, 2017 by norrie82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave The Buddie Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 After today's result and more importantly the performance it is a reality check nothing more. Partick played out their skins and along with us playing well below what we are capable of it was a fair result. Should we talk about replacing the manager that would be insane. Jack Ross will look at today and realise he may need another couple of players. I would rather get these results out the way and learn from them before the season starts. My prediction for the season ahead would always have been if we make the playoffs we have had a good season. Until the league starts nothing will change my optimism that we can't make the playoffs and I will only review that after the 1st round of league games.

The guy is an absolute weapon to be fair, when you have ex professional players and pundits saying that Jack Ross is 1 of the best up and coming young managers around then I know who's word I'm going to take.

Dave The Buddie Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Look I said at the start of this depressing thread a didn't think Jack should have got the job. Did I hold my hands up and say a got it wrong. I did on a few occasions. What he done between Feb-May was unbelievable and because of that we should only consider his removal if we are 10 points behind at the bottom of the league at Christmas.He has showed loyalty by staying with us which most managers wouldn't in this day and age.I will say this again that I will only judge after the 1st round of league games and talk of replacing him is crazy.I am still optimistic of challenging for the playoffs.
