mrcat1990 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Despite alot of negativity, since coming up United haven't beaten us at home. Two well fought draws and assuming we have most our team back I don't see this being an unlikely result. If Frans is still crocked I'm going to start to worry we have signed a talented but fragile CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Despite alot of negativity, since coming up United haven't beaten us at home. Two well fought draws and assuming we have most our team back I don't see this being an unlikely result. If Frans is still crocked I'm going to start to worry we have signed a talented but fragile CB. He didn't play much last season and missed pre-season so he won't be anywhere near full fitness, we have him for another season so there's no need to rush him back thankfully. We matched United the last couple times at Firhill and had luck go against us in our last 1-0 defeat so I'm not too worried, although having about 6 players out will probably mean we'll have a weakened team again.

Weesiecodal Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Do United and Thistle have a reciprocal agreement for this? Season ticket holders get in cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTIG_FTOF Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Do United and Thistle have a reciprocal agreement for this? Season ticket holders get in cheaper? Yes, £15 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weesiecodal Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Braw. Sensible stuff from clubs. It seems quite a few are doing this this season. Let's hope it boosts the numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor challenger Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Looking forward to this more in hope than expectation. Should be a good atmosphere as United normally bring a sizeable support and I expect this will be somewhat increased given their derby result.

Fuctifano Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Do Thistle have half their team out for this still? Higginbotham is definitely out as he's suspended. Frans and Osman have hamstring injuries, McMillan has been missing for personal reasons since the game on Dec 20th, Carroll has an unspecified knock- and his loan is up on Monday anyway so has probably already gone back to Huddersfield and Sean Welsh is made of poppadom and hasn't played 90 minutes since November 2013. Bannigan might well be back if he just had manflu / the shits / a hangover so that is at least one positive. Osman, Frans, and McMillan will be the biggest misses. Carroll and Welsh wouldn't have played if McMillan and Osman had been fit but bit annoying their backups are out too, and Higgy has been miles below his best since he came back from injury in November. Think I've only ever seen us beat United once, 1-0 at Firhill and Albert Craig scored, I remember it was the featured game on Scotsport the next day and United were wearing that fantastic / minging grey with black and white paint splodges away kit. Quick bit of searching says it was 18 December 1993, fucking hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Injuries are for pussies. Get Doolan and Stevenson up front. Out injured. Would like to see McDaid get a game if we are that thin throughout the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 'N Yellow Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yeah what the shit is with all these injuries. I know he's suspended but I heard Higgy has the flu as well, someone's passed it around. Suppose the silver lining is that McDiad, Lawless and Eccleston can get more game time.

Fuctifano Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Sky sports now reporting Fraser out as well. That would leave us with 12 fit first team players, 2 of which are goalkeepers. Gallacher SOD-Balatoni-Seaborne-Keenan Craigen-Bannigan Lawless-Stevenson-Elliot Eccleston Anyone know a good rain dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 12 players out, you say? This is all set up for a home win.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Isn't Keenan still at Ayr? That would mean Elliott (?) to LB and McDaid coming in. A draw would be fantastic under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Keenan's loan was only for a month I think, Soccerbase has his last Ayr game as 13th December so guessing he's back. Elliott might be a better bet at LB on the grounds he's probably played against / with Erskine in training more often, but anyone we put there has the potential to be absolutely roasted.

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Isn't Keenan still at Ayr? Keenan was scheduled to play against Dundee on 20th December until he fell unwell with the bug that had been going round - a bug which kept him out of the Development League game the following week too!

Red 'N Yellow Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I think Keenan was planned to start against Celtic, so him at LB, Banzo and Craigen as the 2 in midfield, probably Elliot and Lawless out wide then Eccleston will probably have to start up front instead of Stevenson seeing as we have no-one else to play behind the striker. Meaning we have a bench of youth players (and Fox) with only Wilson and McDaid having any 1st team appearances for us. The January window's come at a good time.

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Match preview is up. Welsh, Frans, Higginbotham, McMillan, Carroll, Osman all definitely out. Gary Fraser and Stephen O'Donnell doubtful. Stuart Bannigan probable. Gallacher O'Donnell Balatoni Seaborne Keenan Bannigan Craigen McDaid Lawless Elliott Stevenson would be my guess at a team.
