partickthedog Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Am I just making this up, but in recent years have we not had a disproportionate number of Scottish Cup ties against Dunfermline, Dundee United and Hearts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said earlier in the week that the only thing separating the two sides could be home advantage. Dunfermline's recent form is too good to dismiss. Ours not so good unless you focus solely on our home form. Midfield is a worry even when Docherty plays but agree it's a bigger worry without him. Hopefully the Pars don't have too much strength attacking thru the middle but I'd stick Hodson into defensive mid in any case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 A must win. 🤐 Imagine they will be bring a decent crowd and have been on a good run so will come flying out the traps. Hopefully we can nab an early goal and take wind out of their sails. Is this a replay or played to the finish match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about Hearts and Dundee Utd but think your correct about Dunfermline.. I recall in my younger days playing (and losing to) Dunfermline was almost an annual event or at least it seemed like that. More recently we have been able to beat them. I share the sentiments about the vulnerability of our midfield plus the Fifer's current form - that are running away with League 1. They also have some good players and I have always liked Wighton. Even without Lawless and Docherty I think we should have enough to win this tie. We are getting back on track after our poor run and the wins against ICT, Ayr and Morton give us some momentum going into this Cup tie. I will go for 3-1 the Jags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle have played 348 Scottish Cup ties involving a total of 77 different teams. Hearts (15), Dundee United (12) and Dunfermline (11) total 38 of these matches. They represent only 4% of the teams we have played but 11% of the matches played. Hearts have knocked us out of the cup 9 times, Dunfermline 8 times and Dundee United 5 times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the past few years, but it would appear that the same pattern has been playing itself out for generations. The Dunfermline stats are not encouraging, especially as our latest matchwinner (Ross Docherty) cannot play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong looking Dunfermline team and Jags without Docherty, Lawless and Graham. Our midfield looks really weak. I think I would have gone for a 4-4-2 formation with Dowds upfront with Mullin and either Fitzpatrick or Tiffoney on the bench depending on form and fitness. What's wrong with Graham and Lawless? I think we really need to get the first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Mullin really poor and Turner and even Milne not quite on it. Presumably Dowds comes on. What other options do we have? Might have been handy to have had Weston. Banzo and McMillan only pass marks for me. No idea what happened for the penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Our pressure on the ball is awful and has been all season. Lost count of the number of times that one player put good pressure on but no one cut off the out ball - far too easy to play through. What a save that was from Sneddon at 0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me , we need Dowds on no matter what. No one is pressurising their defence through the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total goalkeeper instinct that one. After that wobble at the start of the season, Sneddon has been great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
