I am _loving_ the players referencing training in the interviews. We seem to work on things with particular players and opponents in mind, and it's paying off again and again, which suggests very strong coaching. Lifting the levels of the players, accumulating marginal gains.
💬 “After training we set it all up, and I think it took maybe two or three takes to get it right. Delightfully, it came off.” 🆕 Reading insists practice makes perfect after set-piece plan pays off https://t.co/0aF7f7Pd0b

Our pressing has been most intense with McBeth in the side this year, interestingly. Sure, he’s not Ashcroft. But he gets the mission. With Smyth protecting, he’s a good deputy.
💬 “It’s tough coming into training knowing you might not get on at the weekend. But the gaffer and the staff have been great at keeping me level-headed.” 🆕 McBeth determined to seize first-team chance against Raith Rovers https://t.co/lBn4ss36Ij

Was nice to be on to talk about how well everything is going at Thistle for a change! Usually I’m only allowed on when it’s a shambles or some nonsense has taken place 😅
