I personally think it will be a shit fest, Partick will pass side to side going nowhere and us defending hoping to sneak it. The one definite is I will partake in drinking lots of alcohol, which will be a win win....I think Sadly I agree, hopefully Lavery is good but we really have no idea what to expect. The work rate of Rudden will be difficult to replace, nevermind having an eye for goal too. Hopefully DKD can slot right into the team and give us the creativity we've been sorely lacking. I'm going to be in the home end as I'm going with a Thistle supporting friend who was in the South Stand for the 1-1 shitfest in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be in the home end as I'm going with a Thistle supporting friend who was in the South Stand for the 1-1 shitfest in November.The loss of Ruddens work should hopefully be mitigated somewhat by the rest of the team being more capable and thus not told to camp in our own half. I would expect a resonably high press with the midfield we now have, instead of Ruddens workrate being so visible as he was the only one permitted to press high. Like I said last week, it appears the rope a dope tactics are being dispensed with hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdiBairn Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Rudden will be back next week IMO, hopefully along with 2 more attackers and a goalkeeper. I think we're definitely seeing a move away from the defensive set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're definitely seeing a move away from the defensive set up Hopefully correct re Rudden, the winter break in the top league is the thing we cling on to being the reason why Rudden is missing, I personally think a trade off with Rudden being a makeweight in the deal given his healthy goal per game ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hopefully correct re RuddenEven if he isn’t correct we were only looking at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Puddefoot Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It's not a must win. A draw will suffice then have two weeks to bond the new signings together., and possibly more incoming.Would love a win of course but let's not get greedy. Stay off bottom till we get up to speed. Oh and Caldwell likes to bump his gums doesn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cicero Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Bairns already won away at Ayr, Dunfermline & Inverness so definately points towards a home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 No really sure about the Rudden love in TBH. To me he us just awe right Lavery has a huge chance tomorrow to stake his claim. Him and Rudden are at the same stage of their careers. Either one is potentially fine for us but even if we had both we would still be a bit thin on the ground up top in terms of experience. As I have said before, (before dickhead tried to twist it) we cant afford to be reliant on Rudden, Lavery or even both going down the stretch IMO. Rudden was carrying too great a burden and it would be a huge mistake to expect us to get away with saddling another laddie in the same way.

EdiBairn Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Beyond me why people aren't bothered about losing our only goalscorer who has a 1 in 2 record in the league while creaming their pants about bringing back a guy who scored 4 goals for us. Bonkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is he shite at his job, but is out in the media all the time rambling on about how great things are, or offering his thoughts on whatever happens to be going on in Scottish football. He’s an absolute w**k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong I would take him back but technically he is short. He is 18 however which I suppose you forget.

Senor Bairn Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He's won us points on his own with his goalscoring, consider this when he's got no service from midfield and its pretty amazing. Id expect him to get 15+ with us now that he's going to get some decent balls shoved up his arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convinced Lavery will be decent I hope you are right, can't argue with Ruddens pts gained an goals albeit him being very raw, for me an experienced striker would struggle to match what Rudden has achieved, tho it probably suited a hungry striker more than experienced. I'd have loved to him being the one behind an experienced striker tomorrow, snipping at Harkins heels if he is a sitting mid and he would crack at the attention. I do hope it all clicks tomorrow, just feel it's easier to link defence to mid than it is to attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
