AyrshireTon Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Partick Thistle, Morton, Albion Rovers, Ayr United, Stenhousemuir - discuss. Will know more when we eventually appoint a manager. Played Albion Rovers two seasons ago at this stage - both of us won at Killie IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 1 - Ayr United 2, 3, 4, 5 - insignificance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Good chance of progressing from this group. Are Morton any closer to hiring a new manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Only one of these teams has won the league cup. Romp for the Jags with The wee 'vers in a clear second place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag0001 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Bit annoying that we will have to play Ayr and Morton 5 times but if we get stenny away I’ll be happy don’t really care if we qualify or not cause we will do nothing significant in the cups anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We have a really decent record in the group stages of this completion. First year we finished 2nd and went through as one of the best runner's up, last year we won the group winning all our games. There is no reason why we can't do similar again. Hoping for Partick Thistle (H), Morton (A), Albion Rovers (H), Stenhousemuir (A). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulderdomb Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 My predictions assuming McKinnon does the business as expected: Morton Partick Thistle Ayr United Stenhousemuir Albion Rovers I have a feeling Partick will struggle this season similarly to other Premiership teams who come down to the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Monday 4th June, 2018 at 4:04pm Thistle’s Betfred Cup Group Stage fixtures were announced a short while ago and are as follows: Saturday 14th July Stenhousemuir v Partick Thistle – 15:00 Tuesday 17th July Partick Thistle v Morton – 19:45 Tuesday 24th July Albion Rovers v Partick Thistle – 19:45 Saturday 28th July Partick Thistle v Ayr United – 15:00 What an uninspiring set of fixtures. Better make the most of Stenny away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishopLenBrennan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think Ayr are essentially going to be the kingmakers in this group, especially given they'll be playing Morton and Partick on the first and last day of the group stages. If Partick end up dropping points, such as at home to us or away at Albion Rovers, then they may end up needing to beat Ayr to go through. If we can beat Ayr on the opening day then avoid defeat to Partick then I'd make us very slight favourites to win the group. Likewise if we draw with Ayr and lose to Partick then we're humped.

callum-ayr Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 See this thread is buzzing . We’ve had a relatively ok pre season so far and I can see this beinh treated much the same. Still working out players etc. Imagine we’ll lineup something like this for Morton Hare-Reid Geggan Rose Bell Harvie McDaid Crawford Adams Forrest Moore Shankland Forrest having a really good pre season so I can see him getting the nod for this one and pushing Crawford in to centre mid. Could also see Murdoch replace Adams if he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I’d actually forgotten this thread had been made. I’m absolutely buzzing for Saturday. First competitive game and hopefully we get off to a good start. At the moment I think we’ll line up like this. Hare-Reid Geggan Rose Bell Harvie McDaid Kerr Adams Crawford Moffat Shankland Subs; Mitchell, Ecrepont, Faulds, McGuffie, Murphy, Forrest, MooreObviously things can change if we sign a goalie or if Murdoch signs but at the moment I’d start with this.

ayrunitedfw Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Looking forward to getting the competitive action started and a good chance to compare where we are against a team in the same division as us. I still think we are 3 or 4 players short of having a team capable of being competitive in the championship but fingers crossed that’s rectified in the next couple of weeks. We’ve had Andy Murdoch training with us the past couple of weeks and he’s played as a trialist in all our friendlies so let’s hope we can get him tied up before Saturday as he really would be a fantastic signing. The search for a goalkeeper still goes on, McCrorie from Rangers looked like a goer but with Rangers already gotten rid of one keeper with another apparently set to follow that deal may be dead. Teamwise, McCall has said Chris Higgins and Ross Docherty wont be ready till the end of July/beginning of August. Bell and Kerr have been on holiday so didn’t feature in any of our friendlies but pretty sure they’re back for Saturday Personally i’d go: Hare-Reid Geggan Rose Bell Harvie McDaid Kerr Crawford Forrest Moore Shankland Subs; Mitchell, Ecrepont, Faulds, Adams, McGuffie, Murphy, Moffat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Haven’t seen us at all this pre season but by the sounds of it we’ve been fairly solid in defence and midfield, just our strikers haven’t been any good. Recurring theme from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
