jagfox Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 From a Thistle perspective this feels like the build up to the Falkirk game where a home defeat seemed a near certainty. Difference is Morton have a competent manager and haven’t signed players just for the sake of it. Ive no idea what state we’ll be in by next Saturday. McCarthy, Gordon and probably O’Ware out. Perhaps a couple of signings in, possibly a central defender on loan. I can’t see past an away win at the moment, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 This should be an interesting match thread! In the cup game we hammered them in the first half, fell out the game, as usual, in the second half and were hanging on for dear life. I will settle for that again. Hard one to call as there will be incomings this week, though likelyhood is that it will take 4/6 weeks for them to get up to speed as per norm at Firhill.

velo army Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Honestly aside from perhaps Alloa (and even then...) I don’t fancy us against anybody. Storer to get sent off in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to jagzone he is only after one more defender and that’s it unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we are the only club in Scotland that sign players who are never fit enough to walk straight into the team. Think most Thistle fans would like to see a player already at the club making his full league debut next week, even though he is only 17!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife Crisis Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Archibald to surprise us all by employing a 4231 formation with scintillating spells of side to side passing mixed in with hoofball to a sole striker whilst leaving one of our best players on the bench.

madton Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We are in pretty decent shape at the moment with Denny Johnstone getting 15 or so minutes yesterday after playing 45 for the reserves on Monday so he should be close to starting next week. We have no one out injured which probably never happened under Duffy, always seemed to have a few out! MacLean is a big player for us and he went off yesterday but think it was just a dead leg so hopefully he is fine. Team is continuing to improve and gel so pretty confident going into this one. No reason why we can't get the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don't think O'Ware is actually injured. Feigning injury to avoid a hounding from the away fans next Saturday. The manner of his departure has left rather soured his reputation at Cappielow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise move from O'Ware, he even played in the cup game between the 2 sides to throw everyone off the scent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Fairly confident tbh. We're improving bit by bit against a side who's confidence will surely be low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Chairman's comments in Saturday's programme mentions that the Quitongo situation is "still in limbo" I would take from that the contract was offered, withdrawn and now Jai is free to sign for another Club, but we would be looking for some kind of fee / arrangement. Looking forward to the game on Saturday. We seem to be getting better week by week and the team is already gelling well. We still have a couple of players returning from injury and perhaps not match fit yet - maybe they will get a run out in this afternoons reserve game against Hibs. From last Saturday, I liked the look of the McHugh/Denny partnership up front which lead to the 2nd goal as Denny flicked it on for McHugh to smash it into the net. Also thought Iredale on the left of midfield worked too. Wonder if Ray will continue with that or if it was a one off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMorton Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 McHugh played better when Johnstone came on and he was moved over to the left of the attack. That could work with MacLean on the right. The midfield three of Millar, McAlister and Tidser is working really well so no need for change there. Confident of getting at least a point here.
