Partick Thistle 🟡🔴Vs Livingston 🟡⚫️ - Friday Night Under The Firhill Lights

[jagfox]

A tough game awaits but a chance to build on Saturday's efforts at the Inverclyde Coup.

Livingston will bring some attacking space and their new winger, Sinclair has electric pace but Paddy Reading did a decent job against him in the Premier Cup meeting.

Not convinced with our starting line-ups effectiveness overall with a lack of cohesion at times up top and the balance in midfield not quite right.

We could have our fourth right-back of the season playing in Ben McPherson. Possibly we will see another Ben, Dempsey and the return of the prodigal son, Ben Stanway.

An interesting match awaits but it could be a cagey affair with each tram keen to strike an early blow in the title race.

Should be a good atmosphere under the Firhill Lights.

Wouldn't be too surprised if it ends up a dra3 but I will predict a narrow victory, 2-1 to the Good Giys.

Let's go 💪🟡🔴⚽️⚽️

Waiting to see what Mark has to say.  Expect some disappointments re availablilty.

[thornwoodjag]

Believe Cammy Logan and Ben McPherson are ok for this. 

[Lenziejag]

Sounds like the 3 Ben’s are available for this. Didn’t catch if anyone other than Ingram is out

Jags in red and yellow did a job tonight. Settle for the same tomorrow.😃

[Jimmy McD]

Sounds as if we are all ready to go vs livy tomorrow night according to Mark Wilson , hope to see Stanway in the starting 11..............................

Not sure if we will start with 3 players who haven't played a competitive match this season. That would mean we would probably have to make 3 subs around the 60minute mark, with 2 being in the midfield, leaving us with only a further 2 subs to react to what is happening in the game.

Fair point. I would be surprised if all 3 Bens start. You only need 2 Benz to be a Mercedes. I am guessing a midfield of Smyth, Stanway and Lets'osa, with Dempsey on the Bench.

Give yourself extra time going to game tonight. Roadworks at Maryhill Road / Queen Margaret Drive / Bilsland Drive are a bit of a nightmare.

Many thanks for that. The related issue I found at the last home game v Stenhousemuir is that the prohibition on parking on the pavement means that Firhill Road is reduced to a tight one lane funnel rendering it practically impassable.

And remember it is a 7.30 kick off.

I remember coming out of a midweek game last season and most/all cars on pavement were booked, since then it is rare to see any parked on the pavement.

Pavements are for pedestrians

That is a lot of yellow cards! 

Because they cannot go up on the pavement (and I fully appreciate the good reasons behind these new regulations in terms of safety and ease of movement for all pavement users), cars park on both sides of the road, thus reducing the available width for moving vehicles. Cars back up at both ends of Firhill Road, and if anyone is unable to reverse (which seems quite common!) or to manoeuvre in a tight space, there is complete gridlock. Anyway, these are first world problems!

Last week I just turned round and found another way. I have an alternative route planned for tonight!

Just realised that our ex loan player Cammy Palmer is now with Livingston.

He made such an impact that I didn’t remember him, so I looked him up and still didn’t remember him. Same impact tonight would do me just fine.

Think he was a light weight defensive mid with us. Ex sevco or a loan job. Maybe he's beefed up?

Shout out to the grounds crew.

Pitch looks immaculate.

[Fawlty Towers]

So far so good.

On the other hand. Fitz looks like he has lost a pound or two and gained a yard of pace.

If Drodz keeps this up, the question will be Logan who ?
