Murray: We Are Capable Of Better
Hibernian Women Head Coach Joelle Murray admitted herself, her staff and her players were thoroughly disappointed to have dropped points at home on Sunday afternoon.
The Hibees were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Partick Thistle, who were yet to pick up a point in their post-split fixtures before the match.
Gary Holt's side put in a robust defensive display to thwart Hibs on the day - with Kathleen McGovern missed spot-kick the best opportunity crafted on the day.
"I think we were, quite frankly, not good enough," Murray told Hibs TV after the match.
"When we know what the players are capable of doing, and we get what we got today, it's not good enough. We're all, players and staff, very disappointed and very, very frustrated.

"There is absolutely no disrespect to Partick Thistle. We knew it was going to be a difficult game.
"They've had very close results recently, so we knew what to expect today and we prepared for it. And unfortunately for us, the girls just didn't perform.
"But all credit to Partick Thistle, they were very well organised and structured today, especially out of possession. So first and foremost, give them the credit that they're due."
The setback will be assessed then quickly moved on from at HTC, as the team split up over the international break.
Several First Team players will travel away with their respective nations while others continue to train at Ormiston - with a Friday night visit of Celtic on 24 April the next test for Murray's side.
"We now have a two-week international break. We've got a raft of players away and then we've got a good number of players that will stay and work hard.
"It's a difficult one as you want to sign off with a win and a positive performance and result. We've not got that today, so we certainly need to lift the players.
"We'll lift them. We always do. They'll lift themselves. They'll go away. They'll reflect.
"And the games are coming thick and fast, very competitive games. And I think the positive to take away is we've come round the first round of fixtures undefeated.
"So, we need to take that as a positive into that first Celtic game in the second round."
