Partick Thistle boss praises team spirit in wake of poor run

Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald praises the spirit of his players in the wake of their recent run of poor form.

Partick Thistle manager Alan Archibald has praised the spirit of his players in the wake of their recent run of poor form.

Archibald's men have not won a game in seven and risk dropping into the relegation zone, yet the manager has been impressed with the way his players have reacted in each game.

"To be fair you wouldn't know we had been on such a bad run. If you had seen the way we played on Saturday, they passed the ball well and they created chances," he said, according to The Scotsman.

"Fair play to them, they are young lads and they have not let it affect them. They have kept their confidence up and they need to do that.

"It would be different if we were playing really badly, we would maybe need to change the way we were playing, but we played well at the weekend so we need to keep the confidence up and hopefully things will start to turn for us because it has to happen quickly."

Thistle currently occupy 10th position in the Scottish Premiership.
