Lindau Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Another big game this Saturday. Can't imagine there will be many, if any, changes from Tuesday. Brother in law (Well supporter) treating me to a bit of hospitality for my birthday. Let's hope I can celebrate in the Electic afterwards!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Earl of Hathaway Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Really looking forward to this too. It's about time we gave them a doing in their own midden, and the football we played on Tuesday night was the most entertaining and direct we've played in months. Same team or change things? I'd be inclined to go with the same team, but looking at the fixtures coming up it might be useful to rotate a few players. Try something different to bamboozle Mcghee.

kennymac29 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hopefully they don't punt us up to the top tier of the Motorola stand again as its seem so far away from the action. Same team as Tuesday please but id be swapping Doolan for Pogba, although I thought pogs did well on Tuesday we looked much more dangerous after dools came on.

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Great chance to really steal a march on the teams around us - 3 points & I really think we're all but safe. Famous last words perhaps, but I can't see us losing as many as Killie, Motherwell & Hamilton. Big game, but win it & we really need to start planning our assault on the top 6 & not worrying about looking down. I know it's not the Thistle way, but that's the way it feels to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you change your back 4 and I wouldn't think you'd want to change the Bannigan/Osman pairing either so any changes really have to be with the forwards. I think Pogba was a good choice on Tuesday to wear down the St J's big centre backs and maybe Archie was also keeping Doolan fresh for Motherwell which is a big game for us. This is winnable but will require a 100% effort and a good performance. If we can do it I think it will be a big stepforward and then any points we can garner from our games in hand will be a big bonus. I wonder if we'll see Nisbet and Pogba on the bench and Amoo starting with Doolan. Though all sorts of combinations are possible and it may come down to who looks fittest and most eager during training.

Jaggernaut Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I love all of you guys' line-up speculations before each match. Keep it up! Now and then I make a suggestion, But when it comes down to it, I usually go with Archie and Shaggy's decision..... After all, they know the players, their fitness, their mentality, their positive attributes, their injury issues, and their weaknesses...... In Archie we (gotta) trust !

Lindau Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) One thing has been clear this season, we have a terrific goalie and back 6.....the four that played on Tuesday plus Liam and Muzzy. If you don't lose goals, you don't lose games. Probably have go way back to the Rough, Hansen, Anderson and Campbell days to have had such a solid back line. Hope we can get Gary, Fred and Dan signed up asap. They way they all celebrate after a clean sheet show it means a helluva lot to them Edited February 25, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 As McGhee left before Amoo's goal on Tuesday night he won't be expecting anything from him so another late super sub will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I don't think there's anything to change from Tuesday night and I don't believe the opposition present any different tactical approach. Any changes are more likely to be fitness/freshness related. We're playing two games a week this and the next two weeks so Archie will no doubt have to make some changes. Hopefully any of these changes will be as inspired as his substitutions the other night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Same team for me, thought we played very well throughout on Tuesday, only change would maybe be Nesbitt dropping out but can't see it. With Pogba looking sharp, him with Doolan working around him could be excellent, hopefully get to try that at some point from the start.

Surprised at suggestions of leaving out Nesbitt who was excellent on Tuesday. Only reason might be that his first top flight game took a lot out of him. But he looks to me to be a young fit confident lad who will bounce back easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueensXkid Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 let archie decide on the same team , don't start messing about after a great show ....ther'll be plenty of time for making changes when the injuries and suspensions start to take affect....if it aint broke don't fix it.

Vinnyjag Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 My personal preference would be that Archie played the same team which started the game on Tuesday, the reality is that he probably will start with a different team utilising the squad. We should take the game to Motherwell and let them worry about us, we have had 3 clean sheets in a row in the league which is a decent stat, if we do that tomorrow we get at least a point, however I think we are better than that and with the attacking options we now have we should be absolutely going all out 100% for the win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last five months only Celtic have performed better in the Premiership than ourselves and seemingly out of nowhere we now have a pretty strong bench; let's give Motherwell a doing and start looking at the top six. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome on the Bing Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I wouldn't change anything apart from perhaps Doolan in for Pogba, although I thought the latter had one of his best games in a Thistle shirt on Tuesday, so I wouldn't be too fussed if he kept his place. I'd definitely stick with Nesbitt, as he adds creativity and directness. Like others, I'd take a point but think we may scrape all three.

Big Col Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Motherwell are dreadful and I'm confident we'll win with the same team as Tuesday night, and a similar performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hmm, If GM doesn't make it, who goes in at right back? Liam Lindsay? Christie's left-footed, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome on the Bing Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Christie has done a good job filling in at right-back previously, so we have cover if GM doesn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie's right sided. So presuming Archie is trying to field the same starting eleven I would say Elliott would move back with maybe Amoo starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
