ThickAsThieves Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Looking at our squad, I find it interesting the understanding certain players have with each other. I would say there's three key examples of this, this season. Bannigan & Taylor-Sinclair: Banzo seems to always understand when Sincy's about to burst forward, both left-sided of course and often playing neat one-twos and starting good attacks. Higginbotham & Taylor: Are they flat mates? Anyway, they seem to have a knack of knowing where each other is and is going to be. Erskine & Doolan: Two ex-Juniors seem to have developed a great understanding over the years and often play some intricate stuff in congested areas. I mean of course the whole team should have a good understanding of each other, I just feel it's more prevalent in these cases, particularly looking at Bannigan whenever he's looking for a pass it often seems to be to Taylor-Sinclair. Any examples through the years over players you think had a great understanding of each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Jimmy Bone and Frank Coulson .....best front two I've ever seen at Firhill Good shout. Their diagonal runs across each other to pick up head-flicks on were brilliant, and bamboozled defenders time and time again. Jackie Campbell and Andy Anderson were a pretty solid central defensive pair who seemed to have a good understanding of each other's game.

sb1876 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Donald Park seemed to find Colin McAdam's head regularly!! Donald park was my favourite jaggo during his last season, I remember a wee group singing park must stay after a Clydebank away game, we were standing at the bridge when the players were leaving. It was pretty close to when he did actually leave (for hibs?). Great player and McAdam was pretty good too!

jaggy Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Parky went back to Hearts, but I'm sure he would admit his best spell as a player was at Thistle. I saw him at Hamilton & a couple of other away games last season. I think he works for the SFA now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
