jagfox Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Oh well, once more unto the breach. Dumfries beckons and normally not a destination that holds too many fears. A good away day and a reasonable record football wise for the Jags. However in our current fugue even a point would be welcome. The question McCall and ourselves will be asking is how do we get a positive result back up the road? Three at the back, pack the midfield and play with two up front would be my choice. I'd start Fox in goals if fit. In front would be a combination of Hall, Saunders and McGinty. Kakay and Penrice at wing back. In the middle I'd go back to Palmer, Cole and Slater. Up front Miller and either Cardle or even Mansell. I don't see another 3-0 win but any win will do QoS 1 (Dobbie) Thistle 2 (Miller, Cardle) Att: 1759 Edited December 3, 2019 by jagfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Murray Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Pretty sure we will go 3 at the back given Tam is suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Prediction: QoS 3 Thistle 1. Optimistic this week: I think we'll score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 No Banzo ? I thought his suspension was over. Are Jones or Austin ready yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I would have thought we'll go 3 at the back as well but the more interesting part might be who plays in the middle. It'll probably be Hall-Saunders-McGinty but Ithink it might be time to try Penrice in the centre of defence and put robson at left back. If Fox is fit I would start him. I suspect we'll start with the following Fox (if fit) Kakay-Hall-Saunders-McGinty-Penrice Cole-Bannigan-Palmer Miller-Zannata I would prefer to try the following. Fox Kakay-Saunders-Penrice-McGinty-Robson Slater-Palmer-Cole-Bannigan Miller Its a bit defensive but at least if we're behind we have options in Zanatta and Cardle on the bench that could change the game at a later stage.

If neither play a part tonight then I wouldn't expect to see either at Palmerston. Should think Jones will get some game time tonight.

ARu-Strathbungo Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 The way things have been going recently, if we don't concede a goal that, to me, will be progress. 0-0 …. I would take, but if Dobbie is in the mood it might be another hard Saturday afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 Good on you - I hope you are proven very wrong! To be honest though, leaving last Saturday's disaster aside, at this stage last season I felt that even a dud like Caldwell (and I was one of his greatest critics from day 1) could probably do enough in the January window to avoid relegation; I never thought at any point we were going down. Sh1te football, but not going down. It would be strange not to believe that, at the very least, McCall couldn't achieve the same. Alloa are much weaker than they were (having lost Goodwin, and I think that is now beginning to tell) and Morton aren't exactly setting the heather on fire. If only some of the hype from the OS is to be believed, McCall will be 'supported' in January. Given a good clear-out in a few weeks, I still don't think we'll go down.

I was kind of the same last season. I always thought we would get out of it and was never too worried. This season I'm completely different. I think we're rubber ducked.
