NO GOALS, NO CLEAN-SHEET, POOR DISCIPLINE |
● For the fifth time, ten non-Scots appear for Thistle, matching the club-record first set in July, 2014. |
● For the third time in competitive action, ten non-Scots appear for Thistle, matching the club-record first set in August, 2017. |
● For the second time, nine non-Scots appear in the Thistle starting eleven, matching the club-record set in April, 2017. |
● For the second time in competitive action, nine non-Scots appear in the Thistle starting eleven, matching the club-record set in April, 2017. |
● Thistle's highly unusual run of fielding unsettled starting elevens continues, now sitting at a mammoth FIFTY EIGHT changes in the 12 games of 2018. |
● Ryan Edwards registers his 100th competitive appearance as a Jag, and is the 8th member of the current squad to do so. |
● With his 26th consecutive appearance in competitive action, Tomáš Černý equals his personal-best run in the team. Alas, the injury-prone 'keeper breaks one of his own unwanted records, becoming the first Thistle 'keeper in history to be substituted 5 times in competitive action. |
● Ryan Scully extends his own, and the club's record, by coming on as a substitute 'keeper for the 5th time in competitive action. True to form, the 'keeper continues to register awful stats; in the 31 games that he's played, the Jags have conceded 1.68 goals-per-game and the clean-sheet ratio falls to just 16.1%. |
● Danny Devine, by far the most indisciplined player at Firhill in recent times, registers his 21st yellow and 3rd red card in just 67 competitive games for the club. |
● In the head-to-head, Jags are now on a run of 3 consecutive competitive defeats versus Hibs; the worst such streak since a run of 6 was set back in 1973. Perhaps worse still, we're also on a run of 16 competitive games without a clean-sheet against them; the worst run since the H2H record of 22 was set in 1973. |
● Thistle lose to nil for the twelfth time in this season's League campaign. Only two season's have produced greater totals; there were 13 losses to nil in 1908-09 and 15 losses to nil in 1995-96. |
● Thistle are now 13 competitive games without a clean-sheet away from home; you need to rewind back to 1996 to find a longer run (14). |
● Thistle's nightmare season in front of goal continues, the latest instalment being an awful run of 351 competitive minutes without a goal. It's the sixth time in the Archibald era that Thistle have failed to score in (at least) 3 successive games. |
● Astoundingly, Thistle have now failed to score in 14 of their 31 League matches this term. The class of 2017-18 are on course to register the highest failure to score rate (45.16%) of any Thistle side in League history. The current record is held by Murdo MacLeod's Jags who failed to score in 16 out of 36 (44.44%) in 1995-96. |
