I'd rather we did play 5 in midfield against Thistle. We always seem to make the same mistakes against Thistle at McDiarmid Park. We start with 4 against their 5, they overrun us and either score or take control of the game. We then make an adjustment and bring ourselves back into the game.

Just start with 5 in midfield Tommy. it's ok - we'll forgive you.

Wotherspoon dropping in as and when required.

Yes. For the past 97 matches against Thistle this is the case. They absolutely dominate us and either take the lead, or their failure to score lets us sneak a result.

Tommy Wright has generally been excellent in adapting the way we play to suit the opposition, if we lose then he more often than not learns from it and we change things and usually do better the next time. Thistle seem to be the one exception to this as he doggedly goes for two up front and our strikers hardly get a kick for long periods.

Thistle are a solid team built on a good defence and a midfield who like to keep possession. They perhaps lack the attacking flair of Saints, who have scored 9 more goals in the league this season, but are always a tough opponent.  Usually not too many goals in it either way...

Be careful what you say or I will stop wanting Thistle to finish ahead of Hearts.

This is not the map of Europe from the 1980s.


Get it sorted you Treehouse dwelling shitehouse.

This is all you need to worry about on that map.

We've covered two of the countries on the map (one of which represented by the letter 'y'). Would've been 3 if we hadn't shat the bed against the might Alashkert of Armenia.

I assume it'll be 80s level pricing for entry to this Footballing Extravaganza? :rolleyes:

Aye right. Have you seen the nick of our chairman?

Maybe a final chance for Scobbie to play himself into a deal tomorrow, with Anderson suspended. Like others have pointed out, hopefully Wright comes up with something different tomorrow as what we usually do against Thistle at home hasn't worked for a while now. Certainly don't envisage a two of Paton and Craig yielding much joy in the middle of the park.

The 1880s.
