jagfox Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 The joy of Saturdays Firhill experience has hardly faded and I find myself facing a Friday trip to the not-to-happy hunting ground of NDP. I haven't seen us win there but this season will be our best chance to achieve a first win there in quite a few seasons. Our players will still be on a high as hopefully the travelling support will as well. A few of the away games have felt a bit flat before we have even kicked off. For every EEP, Livingston and Central Park party atmosphere there has been a Starks park, Cappielow and Falkirk muted away support. Obviously we struggled to some degree in the last three. I'm not sure if there is an element of trepidation as our away form hasn't been good the last few seasons. However our style of play this season should lead to a vast improvement in away form. The great number of travelling Jags fans can only spur the players on during our travels this season. I think we can roar the lads on to victory on Friday with another great support. The away stand at Hamilton should be rocking once we all get in. On the playing front the question over who will replace Foxy will be answered by the best man to do that, Jackie McNamara. I feel we may adapt a little from the line-up against the Pars. Although the starting formation may suit some of our away games against stuff opposition. O'Donnell may benefit in finding space if given a wide midfield role with a licence to roam inside. Looming forward to it and three points are achievable with the Jaggy trinity of a great team, manager and support. Forza Thistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Was talking to Stuart Bannigan prior to the Dunfermline game and he was saying that he would be in the reckoning for the Hamilton match. Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbes seems to get better with each game. He's becoming a really vital player and has fitted in well. His goals and set piece deliveries have been a big improvement, imo.

jagfox Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Cold night, but I'm buzzing now. Few pints then train from Partick straight to Hamilton West. Jags win then a couple of night caps. Friday football is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'll catch the score when I get in, I'm off to Prenton Park. Friday night watching Tranmere, like stepping back in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Jag Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) I'll catch the score when I get in, I'm off to Prenton Park. Friday night watching Tranmere, like stepping back in time.   Didn´t get this one at first but Tranmere were playing almost all of their home games on a Friday night at the start of the 90´s to avoid clashing with the other two clubs in Merseyside.   I´ll go for a Thistle hard fought 1-0 win. Very interested in seeing how the team reacts to the rival´s tactics after reading Jackie´s words in last Saturday´s programme. The team´s play is really affected depending on how positive or negative those tactics are. Edited November 16, 2012 by Spanish Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yip, if we lose this game (and in some ways regardless...) there will be questions asked about our choice of goalkeeper. Nonetheless I think we still need to trust in Jackie and Hinchy's judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
