jagfox Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Good results for both teams on Wednesday night. With Thistle it's careful to strike a balance with a decent win at Dens. The new formation did it's job and was topped off by Azeez and Doolan showing up better as a front two. Azeez gave the Dee a bit of a runaround. The back line were all playing near the top of the game and it'll be a shame to lose Scully for a while but Stuckmann should be an able deputy. 3-5-2 obviously restricts chances at both ends so I can see Archibald carrying it forward into the match in Perth. Saintees are the team that have impressed me most against us in the first round of fixtures.Hopefully the management have taken that on board and we can be competitive in Perth.

scottmcleanscontacts Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We were decent at Firhill in the last game. Was getting tired of losing to Thistle so it was a welcome change!I'm never too confident of a result against them though and they have shown they are a capable side on enough occasions to warrant that train of thought.If we play to our best we should win but that's not how it always works.

RandomGuy. Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Partick are one of our bogey sides, so I'm pretty nervous about this tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Same boat, we always seem to struggle against them (up until that game at firhill a couple of months ago). They put an extra man in midfield and tend to have far more possession than us. Might need a whirlwind start and an early goal to open them up a bit. Hope Aberdeen beat Celtic, but in all likelihood we'll be playing to go clear second on our own... And we all know how these occasions tend to go for us...

Fuctifano Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The 3-5-2 has worked well in the last couple of games and I guess we’ll stick with it but obviously St Johnstone will be aware of how we’ve played last couple of games so wouldn’t be surprised if they lined up 4-2-3-1 to combat it unlike County and Dundee who played 2 up front . Would be excellent if we could go on a 22 year unbeaten run at McDiarmid after the preceding 22 years but in the short term I’d bite your hand off for a point here.

RandomGuy. Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We played 4-4-2 against Dundees 3-5-2, and also against County doing the same last season. I've no idea how we manage to cope tbh, as realistically our midfield shouldnt be able to dominate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Feeling better about it so expect a draw with their equaliser only coming in the 79th minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Had a great result against Partick the last time out at Fir Hill. Hopefully get another home win but don't expect it to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Alston has to start after Wednesday - his best performance for us by some distance and gave us a genuine attacking threat from the middle of the park. Millar's performance probably earns him a start too. Tough game against a decent side. Thistle always look absolutely massive against us, Doolan always seems to score and Lawless seems to enjoy himself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
