jags on tour Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Thistle at 1/2 at home against a lower league team is a decent price. There doesn’t seem to be any goalscorer odds on offer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a terrible price for what is little more than a pre season crapshoot. 5/1 Airdrie is a much better bet given they are realistically more like 3/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Rarely gamble these days but if I did I'd be looking at lower league teams to get results against teams in higher divisions. Clubs with smaller squads are more likely to play more as a team. Plus from what I've seen there's less of a gap in match fitness in July but above all the lower tier team is less likely to be using the mini league fixtures as some sort of enhanced friendly. Our game tomorrow may well be no exception. With the strong likelihood we'll play a fair chunk of the game without a proven goalscorer, I wouldn't be taking us on short odds for a win.

Alan Murray Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 1.5 to win gives us about a 60% chance of winning - sounds about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebaw1 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Anyone remember turning up for 1st game of the season vs Clydebank and we had 2 or 3 new players who had been signed Friday night? Callum Campbell was one. Perhaps Ally Love another? It was ‘who the f are these guys?’ We pumped them 3.0 I think. Maybe this will miraculously happen tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bunny Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Reading the manager's preview it looks like he's thinking of starting Palmer. Gordon appears to have got over his knock while Harkins has a non-serious injury. So midfield is probably Palmer Bannigan with Gordon pushing up to attack. You can fill in the rest yourselves. Would like to see us with a 4-4-2 and Cardle and Robson on the wings (apparently Robson can play left midfield as well as full back) though with that I think Gordon should be in and Palmer on the bench. No doubt we'll see something I didn't think of, like one up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Not sure he can play anything else other than 4-4-2. Lack of personnel is limiting options. Pretty sure we will see Penrice at some stage in the Betfred cup games in midfield. Real lack of options of the bench and looks like he will have to blood some of the development squad.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) If as has been hinted we're treating these games as some sort of hybrid friendly then I wouldn't be surprised to see us change formation during the game. We can't play trialists and make six or seven subs so changing formation is about the one thing common in friendlies we can do. That said of our three full backs Penrice is the most capable at defending, which I wouldn't say is exactly his strong point either. So that kinda leans towards 3-5-2 (3-5-1-1) as the default formation. To get the best out of Cardle, and assuming Miller plays no where near 90 mins, we'll have to go to a less narrow set up at some point.

Guest Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Before last night's hearts v arabs I had us down for 3-0, not so sure now. Bit of a lottery as it's the first game of the season. Still excited though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely we will play one up front today with the other coming on after an hour, and the reverse on Tuesday As said, Slater is injured, so maybe Penrice starting in midfield, and Cardel somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
