1 John Lambie Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I think McCall will go for 3-5-2 again, which will probably mean Erskine on the bench. ............................Fox ......Kinniburgh.....McNamara.....Archibald Paton..............................................Boyle ...........Cairney.....Rowson.....Hodge ..................Donnelly.....Doolan Subs: Halliwell McGeough Campbell Erskine Buchanan Need 2 U-21s on the bench, McCall said MacBeth was in the squad for Sat, but don't see how he can be fit enough with no games & 2 weeks max training. If it's 4-4-2, I'd like to see Flannigan & Erskine on the wings, but don't think we'll play that way.

Alan Murray Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 ............................Fox ......Kinniburgh.....McNamara.....Archibald Paton..............................................Boyle ...........Cairney.....Rowson.....Hodge ..................Donnelly..... Erskine Think Erskine’s will play upfront due to his pace. Will be interesting to see if Buchanan makes the 16, might be left out if he is going.

Erskine Think Erskine’s will play upfront due to his pace. Will be interesting to see if Buchanan makes the 16, might be left out if he is going. I'd start with Doolan in place of Erskine. Reckon Big Bird could do well as an impact player against tiring defenders. As for Liam, he played against Stirling so he's cup tied anyway. He may well be left out in case of injury if there is any truth to the rumours (that McCall has denied) Meant to add, I hope Cairney will have improved from his performance against Raith where he was terrible.

kni Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 My eleven Fox Paton, Kinniburgh, Archibald, Boyle Flannigan, Rowson, Hodge, Erskine Donnelly, Doolan Subs Halliwell, McGeough, Balatoni, Campbell, Buchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think 5-3-2 (its never a 3-5-2) is the way to go tonight but at the same time I want to start Erskine, Doolan and Sid. Doesn't really work through unless McCall will entertain the idea of playing Donnelly in a midefield 3 and dropping Cairney or more likely Hodge.

He may well be left out in case of injury if there is any truth to the rumours (that McCall has denied) I may have misread but I don't think McCall has denied that Buchanan may be leaving. I got the impression that Liam is not going to be made a free agent but he could be sold for a nominal fee or involved in a player swap.

I would expect, or hope, that we would get another striker in any swap deal but I can't think of an attractive option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think tonight might be the night for a Shaun Fraser sub appearance in the last 7 minutes. McBeth is back now, isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Man Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Seems like we have a new keeper on the bench, welcome Bryan http://www.ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/january_2011/team_v_falkirk_11_01_11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 From the OS: The Thistle side to face Falkirk in tonight’s Scottish Cup is as follows: 1. Scott Fox 2. Paul Paton 3. Paddy Boyle 4. Jackie McNamara 5. Willie Kinniburgh 6. Alan Archibald 7. Paul Cairney 8. David Rowson 9. Liam Buchanan 10. Simon Donnelly 11. Bryan Hodge Subs Bryan Halliwell Shaun Fraser Jamie Campbell Chris Erskine Kris Doolan Buchanan FFS! That's a ******* joke! I'd love to be proved wrong though, but FFS.

sandy Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Is that a defensive 5-3-2 line-up? Disappointed Erskine not on from start, hopefully he can be an impact sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have started Doolan, as top scorer, rather than Buchanan. If Liam does not perform tonight, he will probably be shown the exit door. I hope that Fraser and Campbell gets their chances. No Flannigan so he could be one of those to be told to find a new club too. I assume that McBeth is still not fully fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Well, one of the two sprouts is coming on, considering McCall always uses all three subs. It's good to know we've got a troublesome bench. All 5 players will be annoying to tired legs, although obviously Halliwell more to Archibald, McNamara and Kinniburgh's than Falkirk's...

If not, could be a sign that he's on his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yasss! Get in there Buckie! Hopefully McCall has told him he's out if he's shite tonight. I have a feeling that's why he got a start ahead of Doolan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
