Big game for both teams coming up. Another late goal lost but an overall spirited showing by Thistle. Same can't be said of the Paisley Saints as they got a shoeing at Tannadice. Various plus points from Thistle's game today. Trebling our away goal tally with contributions from Craigen, Elliott and McMillan. Welsh, Higgy and Fraser should be available for selection too. Saints will no doubt be missing the talusmanic Thommo-hawk again. Our strikers could learn a bit from him as according to his piece in the Scotsman a striker's link play contributes to his effectiveness greatly. Doolan put in a shift but with little to show for it. After being removed to jeers from some of the away support we went onto to take the lead with the much maligned Craigen and Elliott contributing great goals. Lawless and Higgy linking up along with them in a decent attacking performance. Usual calls for Fox to be dropped. His distribution is slow and he has lost a few near post goals but I don't think Gallacher would have done much better today. Balatoni was okay so there could be an argument for Frans replacing him too. Pleased with the spirit shown by Thistle today and could be considered unlucky not to grab all 3 points given the timing of the equalser. Two down at one point so even a point increased our lead over the Saints to four points again. Hopefully that will ease the pressure we seem to struggle with and create a gap over Saints. Obviously St Mirren and Tommy Craig will be doing their darnest to keep the points in Paisley so this should be another entertaining affair. Prediction St Mirren 1 Partick Thistle 3
