Isn't that's 1,200 short of capacity? 🤔 That confused me too. I was expecting a crowd of well over 8000 after the announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we could even get up to about 4k as a base home support, it would make a huge difference to our budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. If not exactly walking it into the net, then trying to make that final dribble or side-step to get a clearer opening, when just hitting it might have done the trick!

Guessing spectators are allowed to cut out and grab something from the mobile unit as with Edinburgh Rugby (where the trucks are right outside the stand & even stay open after FT to serve fans on their way out), as our finish time has been given as 6-7pm. But yeah with a bit of luck should get out a bit early and catch some of the match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we can continue to play that kind of football scoring over 2 goals a game, I am sure the fans will turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 What's most encouraging is the number of younger adult supporters regularly attending. I can only think the Kids Go Free initiative has played a major role. Meaning the initiative has proved successful. Not so long ago we had an aging support (very noticeable on away days). Not so now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted June 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 I know that we have got to our current position of being very positive and attacking, but is there a good case to start with Bannigan tomorrow. With Thistle having a two goal lead i feel that would give us extra protection between midfield and defence.This would mean either Lawless, Tiffoney or Fitzpatrick on the bench. Whoever was benched would be extremely unlucky and might have a part to play in the game later on. Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else but praise for the Ross County fans, from what i could see most joined in with the minutes applause for Hugh Strachan. C'mon Thistle.

westertonjagfan Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Frankly....I'm bricking it for tomorrow. Even though we've been brilliant since Doolan took over, even though we're 2-0 up from the first leg, even though it feels it's our year.. #nailschewedalready.

Know what you mean but it worries me that playing Bannigan will invite them onto us a bit more. Having said that, they weren't shy in pushing men forward even when down to 10. I'd go with the same starting 11 and try for a goal in the first half. Something we've done frequently recently. If all goes well, we could slow things down in the second half. All these other 'big' games have been boring compared to Thistles last few. Just watching the German Cup final, having watched the other two cup finals today. They just don't compare to The Jags in any way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your logic, but my concern about Bannigan is that he slows the game down with too many side or backward passes. He is also prone to needless fouls, and that would allow RC to punt balls to their big men. Slowing the game down, as he did when he came on last Thursday, would suit RC, who will be without Edwards their main pace man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in touching distance of the Premier league, but just not quite there yet. No stupid mistakes, take our chances and we should do it. Easier said than done though.

Barney Rubble Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Bannigan's injury v Queens Park forced Dools into a personnel change which has been shown to work extra-effectively so far (Turner and Docherty deep with Graham, Tiffoney, Lawless and Fitzpatrick further up). We've looked more fluent as a result. It's a conundrum for sure, but Fitzpatrick seems to me to have had a re-awakening recently after a frankly disappointing season. I'd be inclined to start with him tomorrow. Banzo has his qualities, but the performance of the formation since he got injured has been outstanding.

Lenziejag Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Of the 41 goals in 18 games under Doolan, we have scored 16 in 4 1/2 without Bannigan. Unless anybody is injured or knackered, I think Doolan will go with the same starting 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 I'll be surprised if he changes the starting line-up. No need for Banzo at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
