  1. We can win this... but sadly I don't think we will :( We need to start with a back 3 to get Barton out of midfield and back to his best position. Sammon on the wing has to stop, we should start with.

     

    Cerny (if unfit, Sneddon)

    Keown Barton Turnbull

    McGinn Edwards Bannigan Elliott

    Spittal Doolan Erskine

    Lots of clubs do this such as Hamilton (superseal). Do they get any stick? No. As others said we will still know it as firhill and it's just extra money for nothing

    Your right we probably won't get any stick I just don't like it personally. If I was Maxi I would've rather kept Firhill as our name than have the money.

  3. Maybe we're just as fit as everyone else, but work much harder, therefore running out of steam before the end of the game. The management team must be applauded for inspiring such commitment.

    Feel like we would concede a lot less in the last 10 if we would bring more than one sub on for example we could bring Devine on to stiffen up the defence or Edwards to add energy to the midfield.

  4. I'm guessing but the signing of McGinn is seen as a more attacking option from full back with Nitriansky more as a utility defender. So I reckon McGinn and Elliott are seen as the full back pairing in the short term at least. If Milan starts I'd put that down to match fitness issues.

     

    More than likely Devine will come in as a straight replacement. The only way Barton will go to centreback will be in either an injury crisis or the centre of a back three. Archie will only play three centrebacks if tactics warrant a change, not simply to suit Barton. Gotta feeling that Spittal will be a big player for us this season and he's unlikely to start in a 3-5-2. He's simply not got the pace to play wingback.

    I'm hoping for a 3-4-3 with Cerny in goal(obviously), a back three of Devine, Barton and Turnbull, Nitriansky and Elliott at wing back as I don't think McGinn will be match fit yet, Banzo and Abdul as the two centre mids and a front three of Erskine, Doolan and Spittal.

  5. A poll on who'll win a Thistle game on s Thistle website? I'd like to think we might get a majority for the Jags here.

    You'll get the pessimists though, need to let them express their opinion. I mean we already have two 'County Win' votes. Most people on here will go for a Jags win, I think...

  6. Think we need to win this to try and get our season up and running as the longer we go without winning the more it'll affect the team's confidence. I'll excuse the first four games as the only game I was expecting a point off of was St Johnstone, we've been playing well now we just need to turn it into points.

    I'm pretty sure they've had recent financial trouble also if he's knocked back Fiorentina, Athletic Bilbao and Inter in recent months he might just not fancy it...

     

    On a slightly tenuous link. Someone should by Corby Town get them up through the leagues, rebrand as Thistle then when they reach the Premier League we move them to Firhill and watch all the money and fame rain in :rolleyes:

    That's... interesting. Where'd you think of that?

  8.  

    Mulgrew is crap,Brown is done,Snodgrass is unfit and hasn't done much lately in a Scotland shirt and Ritchie is slower than me after Xmas dinner. Hopefully a good shafting to pile pressure on that wee fud Strachan..

    Which shows the sad state of our national game that these are some of our best options, personally I'd rather have Matt Phillips or Olly Burke playing ahead of Snodgrass (that lineup wasn't my preferred team it's what I think Strachan will pick), I like Ritchie though gets a few goals for Scotland and he's playing in the Premier League.

    That can easily be updated. Tuffey?!

     

    Cerny

    Archibald

    Lindsay

    Paterson

    RB

    Barton

    Rowson

    Erskine

    Harkins

    Hardie

    Doolan

     

    Should have never left Hardie out first time round. Bannigan misses out to Rowson. Struggling for right back, very tempted to put Elliott there but think O'Donnell and Lilley should maybe be ahead.

    Definitely O'Donnell for me

  10. Glad I read this topic. I hadn't realised that the season is in fact over for us and we're heading for the drop. Ok, let's clear out the management team now, appoint a journeyman with no record to speak of, go part time with immediate effect, release all those whose contracts run beyond Hogmanay and prepare for life in the Championship, immediately followed by Div One.

     

    We're completely doomed...apparently.

     

    Or..............

    We should just give up now ;)

  11. If you listen to Archie after the match.....

    Our defending was poor

    So was Aberdeen's, it was an end to end game that we were unlucky to lose and I for one am very proud of our performance yesterday. If you put it into perspective Aberdeen are unbeaten so far this season apart from the Apollon game, top of the league and an improved team from last year and we went head to head with them. This is the usual annual panic season for Thistle but if we can play like that every week and stiffen up the defence a bit a win is forthcoming!
