ANOTHER UNWANTED RECORD

● With his 6th goal of the season, Blair Spittal extends his lead to 2 at the top of our competitive goals chart for 2018-19. His goals/assists combi-total (10) is 4 ahead of his nearest team-mates (Erskine, Slater and Doolan), all of whom sit with 6.

● Gary Harkins becomes the first Thistle player to be sent-off since Danny Devine received a red-card at Easter Road in March, 2018.

● Thistle go 10 League games without defeat vs Falkirk (2011 to date), 1 away from equalling the H2H record (11) set in 1921.

● By contrast, 1 second-tier win in 15 equals the woeful club-record which was set in 1989-90.

● Thistle go SEVENTY games without back-to-back League wins, a run which, usually, occurs once in a blue-moon. Incredibly, it's the second such run in recent seasons following a similar fiasco (71) between 2013 and 2015. Prior to these, the only two other such runs were: 70 (1907-1910) and 77 (1912-1914). Four of the current crop have been involved in two of these horrendous runs; Chris Erskine, Christie Elliott, Kris Doolan and Stuart Bannigan.
