jagfox Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 A good warm up before we continue on our road to Hampden next Tuesday. Hopefully Cardle and Storey will be back in the squad with a view to starting on Saturday. Still badly missing the influence of Bannigan in midfield. United really need a win to keep their outside chance of winning the league alive. The head says a 1-1 draw but the head is hoping for a 2-1 win to build the players confidence ahead of Tynecastle.

He played a great ball into the box, not much else but we’ve missed a bit of pace in the last couple of games so it’s best to have all options available at this time of the season.

forameus Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yeah, to be fair to Storey, we needed someone who could run at least as fast as the opposition, even if he wasn't really running anywhere. Was Bannigan suspended or is he injured? It's hard to tell how we're going to treat this game. You'd obviously think that the league is far more important than the cup, but how much of an eye is going to be put on Tuesday night with this? Do we have enough in the squad to play full throttle with our first choice squad in both games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Bannigan is / was injured tho he is one booking away from suspension too. Pretty sure we'll change strikers for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're planning Mansell again for Tuesday, absolutely, but I wouldn't be averse to giving him another shot against a side he does have a chance against. But personally I'd start McDonald with a view to changing it 45-60 minutes. Subs are definitely creeping towards the far-too-late that marred Archie's time.

staggy4life Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I thought both teams were fairly awful in their cup matches albeit Thistle were playing against a Premier League team. I can see this being a turgid draw but a win for Thistle would be good for Scottish football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Got the feeling Partick will win this one. Can't see past 2-0 to them. United looked lost and without any ideas on Sunday bar some flashes of decent play in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 PARtick Thistle have Super Joey Cardle on their books, so they're alright by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuieCounty Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 A Thistle win here would be nice! Could see it happening too with United being nothing remarkable lately and Thistle needing points on the board. Finger's crossed for a little bonus for us anyway!

Mark Connolly Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thistle should probably just concede the fixture to allow themselves to prepare for their big cup replay. I think that would be in everyone's best interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with that but the FBs would have to be a wee bit more wary going forward or Harkes would need to drop back on those occasions when they do. Anyway it’s a dream; Neilson seems determined to stick with a rigid formation even on those occasions where it’s obviously not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 I've noticed United have had a couple of cracking away supports recently. Can Thistle expect a good wedge of the Tangerine dollar on Saturday or will recent results have tempered the enthusiasm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably correct that the support's eagerness to see progress has been minimised by reality. Having to drive on Saturday, any tips for parking spaces?

So that’s four anyway! I think Sunday’s performance might have scunnered a few folk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
