  1. Attempting to play the second half of the season with only 2 wide players was always a strange move. Not keen on watching Ngwenya or Diack try to play out wide. Neither if them have the ability to play the role. McInroy or McKenzie are probably the best (but still not very good) options unless we change formation.

    Thistle really need to get out the traps early and take the game to ICT. We need to create and take chances as stated previously there isn't a lot of scope to change the game from bench.

    I'd like to see Stanway come in to the midfield but I have a nagging feeling Doolan may start Blair The Ghost.

    I'll predict a nervy 2-1 home win. 

    In our last home game we seemed to switch to more of a 4-1-4-1 formation so if we stuck with that Alston would probably be more of a like-for-like swap. I’d like to see Stanway come in though.

    .Also shown up in the last couple of weeks that not getting some kind of cover on the wing in January was an error, we've been lucky that Lawless and Fitzpatrick have been fit and firing for most of the season but they were both rubbish on Tuesday and Lawless hasn't been great for a few games now. The only replacements are strikers or central midfielders stuck out of position. 

     

    That is now just ‘striker’ and a 18 year old one at that.

    Surprised to read a few Thistle fans in this thread say they'd like Raith to win the league. Surely if you're being pragmatic, United finishing second (assuming nobody gets promoted through the playoffs) is a bad thing if you've any ambition of kicking on and challenging for the title next season? I would imagine most teams would rather see the back of them, and hope nobody else with that sort of squad and budget gets relegated.

    100% agree with this.

    Raith took their 1 half chance and we had half a dozen but couldn’t score. We struggle massively when Lawless and Fitzpatrick are off their game as we have no replacement for them. Raith brought on Vaughan, Rudden, Byrne, Smith and we brought on Diack, Bannigan and Stanway. We are carrying a few injuries but Raith squads has more quality than us.

    Turned into a bit of a sick note unfortunately, has now missed more league games than he has played which is a problem as we are a far better team with him in it. Also our captain and we really miss his leadership on the pitch as in his absence Tony Watt is captain which is a debatable choice to say the least.

    That sounds familiar.

    Mitchell has to be restored to the starting XI now, cannot see the justification to keep him on the bench behind Stewart. 
     

    I think we will likely see one or two other changes to the team. I have to say I am not feeling even the slightest bit confident for this game.

    Would take a 0-0 right now. Hold on we don’t keep clean sheets, would take a 5-5 right now.

     

    Mitchell not playing must be something non-football related. The obvious reason seems to be his mad agent. Although I don’t think he’s particularly great and there’s not much between him and Sneddon, I think he’s our best keeper. He certainly looks much better than Stewart.

  7. We did well to get back in the game then chuck it away. McBeth cheaply gave the ball away but he looked dead out there and Stanway should’ve been on then the Ayr boy passed one to Stewart at approximately 3mph and the diddy dives out the way.

    4 goals conceded to 4 shots on target is criminal. We need to change things up at the back and bring Mitchell in.
