| – A comfortable win with 9 teenagers in the starting XI. After some neat interplay Cairney scored (8). It should have been more emphatic at half-time. Fraser hit the post then Cairney converted a pen (61) then Grehan nodded in at a Bannigan corner (86). |
| 9. Sun-03-Oct-2010 [a] L1-2 Dunfermline Athletic (Scottish Reserve League U-19) |
| – MP 16/10/2010. Shepherd, Pearce, Baxter, Kennedy, Trialist, Campbell, Lochhead, Bannigan, Fraser, Burns, BURBRIDGE. (Sweeney, Clougherty, Hodge.) Rosyth. |
| – There were loads of chances at both ends in a goalless first half. Parity continued until a fine strike put the Pars ahead (67) but Burbridge equalised soon after. A corner for Thistle was cleared and Dunfermline ran up the park and scored the winner (86). Cruel. |
| 10. Tue-12-Oct-2010 [a] W4-0 Queen of the South (Scottish Reserve League Cup section game) |
| – MP 16/10/2010. Scully, McGeough, ERSKINE, Lochhead, Balatoni, Maxwell, CAMPBELL, Bannigan, FRASER, Burns, HODGE. (Melville, Sweeney, McGrotty.) Played at Glasgow Green. |
| – A free-kick by Hodge gave the keeper no chance (6) and Scully was in fine form to prevent an equaliser. Fraser finished off a cross (52) then a fine passing move saw Campbell chip the keeper (57). Erskine finished things off from the edge of the box (72). |
| 11. Sun-17-Oct-2010 [a] L1-6 Airdrie United (Scottish Reserve League U-19) |
| – MP 30/10/2010. Scully, Dunbar, Baxter, Pearce, Trialist, Campbell, Lochhead, Bannigan, Fraser, Clougherty, Burbridge. (Trialist, Kennedy, SWEENEY.) |
| – Slack defending and wasted chances! Airdrie went ahead (23) and hit the bar (24). Fraser shot narrowly past then it was 4-0 at half-time and 5-0 (47). Fraser hit the bar then the defence was ripped open again for 6-0 before Sweeney's late consolation. |
| 12. Tue-19-Oct-2010 [a] W7-2 Annan Athletic (Scottish Reserve League Cup section game) |
| – MP 30/10/2010. Shepherd, McGEOCH, Erskine, Lochhead, Balatoni, Maxwell, Campbell, Hodge, BUCHANAN (4), DONNELLY, Bannigan. (FRASER, Burbridge.) |
| – Buchanan volleyed home the opener (13) but Annan scored after the ball had rebounded off the bar. Buchanan headed in only for a deflected shot off Maxwell to make it 2-2 at half-time. Buchanan(2), Donnelly McGeough and Fraser made for a big win. |
| 13. Sun-24-Oct-2010 [h] W2-1 Alloa Athletic (Scottish Reserve League U-19) |
| – MP 30/10/2010. Shepherd, Pearce, Baxter, Kennedy, Lochhead, Campbell, Burbridge, BANNIGAN, FRASER, Clougherty, Sweeney. (Hodge, Trialist, Dunbar.) Played at Petershill FC. |
| – Thistle couldn't break down a stubborn Alloa defence in the first half. Burbidge's shot just over the bar was a close as they got. A loose ball at a corner (52) put Alloa ahead but Bannigan scored (56) then Fraser rushed past his marker and fired home the winner. |

| – Bannigan curled the ball home (5) then Grehan steered in a cross soon after - both goals created by Erskine. Balatoni headed home (27) a Hodge corner then Grehan set up Fraser for a tap in. The second half was a bit of an anticlimax. |
| 15. Sun-31-Oct-2010 [a] W3-1 Annan Athletic (Scottish Reserve League U-19) |
| – MP 13/11/2010. Scully, Dunbar, Pearce, Kennedy, Lochhead, CAMPBELL, Burbridge, Bannigan, CLOUGHERTY, FRASER, Sweeney. (Hodge.) |

| – MP 11/12/2010. Shepherd, Hodge, Baxter, Ketterer, Lochhead, Pearce, Burbridge, Campbell, FRASER (pen), Clogherty, Sweeney. |
| – The first half hour was even and uneventful then a low drive put Thistle behind (35). A dubious penalty doubled their lead by half-time. Thistle enjoyed a spell of possession but the Sons raced away and made it 3 before Fraser scored with a late penalty. |

| 21. Sun-06-Feb-2011 [h] L0-4 Falkirk (Scottish Reserve League U-19) |
| – MP19/2/2011. Line-up as yet unsourced. |

| – MP 19/3/2011. Line-up as yet unsourced. |
