Partick Thistle plea for patience delivered after second half collapse against Dundee

Partick Thistle assistant manager Neil Scally has asked for fans to be patient with his side after a damaging Firhill collapse against Dundee.

The Jags looked set to return to the Championship's play-off spots as they stormed into a 2-0 half-time lead via Harry Milne double. They were cruising before an error by goalkeeper David Mitchell allowed Zach Robinson to halve the deficit and Aaron Muirhead was then sent off in the aftermath of Ryan Sweeney's leveller.

Manager Ian McCall had his misery compounded when Cammy Kerr deflected an effort into the net to spark bedlam in the away camp but dejection in the home end, with Partick Thistle now seventh in the table, but still just five points off first-placed Ayr. There's a number of injury concerns at the minute and assistant boss Scally says that they should be judged when those bodies are back. He said: “The fans can see we have been in most games and the players we have out injured.

“Hopefully we can get those players back – and then we can be judged.

"In the first half I thought we looked solid and scored two good goals. Dundee didn't put us any pressure in the first half.

"But they went for it in the second half. It's a really poor goal to lose, not great from Mitch to come out for the ball. They score the second and with our man getting sent off, it's not ideal."
