Rednyella Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 You'd never think this midweek cup game is happening based on the journos discussions surrounding whether Wallace and/or John will make it for the forces of darkness next weekend versus the unwashed. Lots of articles about the upcoming OF clash. No doubt Pedro will be under pressure on whether he wants a league cup semi final appearance or not be mauled in first OF derby of season. Tough choice. It may play well for us as they will need to manage the team and players and have a few injuries after our physical matchup on Friday night. This is the Jags team I'd play: Scully Keown Devine Turnbull McGinn Elliott Osman Bannigan Edwards Lawless Doolan I don't think Cerny will be fit. If he is then he's #1. I'd give Lawless the #10 role seeing as Storey is cup tied and Erskine is out (I assume that red card plays?) if not I'd play Erskine again all day long. Adds a lot to our play. Dools is a certainty. If Sammon is available for selection I wouldn't start him. If we play a 3-5-2 he's a guy who did well relieving some pressure and causing Rangers problems Friday night when he came on. I'd also rest Spittal. But you could argue you play him in place of Lawless. I'm just thinking about managing the larger squad we now have and upcoming weekend game also. He put in a big shift Friday night. He's clearly a weapon for us but we can always bring him on. No place for Barton for me if the captain is back from his shoulder injury unless you drop Danny and put Adam in at center half / sweeper. I think he's better there anyway. Plus he's not been at his best and this would be as good a game to drop him for. Bannigans work rate should be useful and we also have young McCarthy should we need him. Sevco are there for the taking. They are bang average and it's about time we got a cup run on the books and a day at Hampden. Mon' the Jags!

Cerberus Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 No Doolan, Sammon or Storey for us? No matter, Nisbet will utterly humiliate Alves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Thistle should take all flags off these watp as they come through the turnstiles, and burn them there and then. Come on Thistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renfrewblue Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Looking forward to this game tonight. We should hopefully have learned from the poor defending on Friday and be a bit more physical in the challenge ourselves. It's unacceptable that Thistle get 5 yellows, a red and another red that the ref missed and we haven't stuck a solid challenge back in. It's a man's game after all. As for Ryan Jack, he's no hard man. I'd expect my youngest boy to snap him in a tackle and he's 11. Hell have to toughen up if he's to stay at Ibrox.

Fuctifano Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Sadly I fear Rangers will waste us down the right if Lawless is on our left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Lawless has been one of our best players so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Lawless has been one of our best players so far this season. I agree, but as I've previously posted, he doesn't even pretend to try against the Govan mob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you honestly believe that he makes a conscious decision not to try against Rangers because it happens to be the team he supports? Really?

So you honestly believe that he makes a conscious decision not to try against Rangers because it happens to be the team he supports? Really? Whether consciously or not, he has been woeful in every appearance he has made for us against rangers. Irrespective of any form he has or hasn't been in the periods around the matches against rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 And further to this, I believe there have been players in the past who have intentionally turned in below par performances for us against the ugly sisters. Martin hardie missing a penalty in a shootout against celtic immediately jumps to mind in a league cup tie at parkhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
