velo army Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Stunned this isn't a thread yet (reserving the right to affect a total riddy if proven wrong) so allow me to begin one. Huge 6 pointer for both teams. Hopefully the Magyars will force the opposition to justify their inclusion of a goalkeeper in the starting line-up, unlike against Aberdeen the other evening, whose custodian might as well have been me, considering the complete lack of goal threat we posed. Game on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Both looking forward to and dreading this fixture in a while. The team that finished vs St Johnstone: Fox Naismith | Fraser | Routis | Van der Weg Gardyne | Chow | Lindsay | Keillor-Dunn Schalk | Mckay That's not a team that will control midfield, but will offer a ton of running. Jim O'Brien has been benched in the last couple of matches amid some naughty-step rumours and Draper was out of the squad entirely for no obvious reason, when I would consider them to be the strongest central midfielders at the club. If Davies shakes off the jarred knee then he'll come into defence and Routis will likely play in midfield. Eagles will play every game if he's fit enough, I think it was just a case of him being kicked off the park by Foster and he'll be ready again. Curran will play up front, even if he and Schalk have never really clicked as a partnership. However, there's a strong case for starting with the above.

GrahamJags Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I would be astounded if this is on, considering there's snow forecast for most of today and tomorrow. If it's on, it's must win for both sides. Hopefully Woods is back, and Barton is moved into the centre of defence alongside Keown and Turnbull, with Lawless at LWB and Devine as far to f**k as possible. 0-0 thriller in the sludgey snow.

Mediocre Pundit Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I expect this off - snow will be the excuse but expect we’ll hope to delay it until we have a central midfield again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, our midfield is exactly the same. Minus the ton of running (apart from Edwards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much snow forecast for after early this afternoon. Could be an issue with waterlogging I suppose though. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcuvyv148#?date=2017-12-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the game is on, since I missed the Accies game and won't get to Firhill until March by the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The club had no issues having the Motherwell game on when Maryhill was an ice rink so if they've got covers down then I think they'll be fine with the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Does anyone know if the team are traveling south today? Im planning this game tomorrow, my first county game im a long time. So it’ll probably be off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thoaught. Still snowing in Paisley, I believe St Mirrin we’re having a noon review in regards to their game more because the roads here are a mess.

Fuctifano Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Martin Woods revenge game narrative. Don't think either team would be distraught if this was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if this was off. Snow on and off for the next few hours, turning to rain, then temperatures to drop overnight. Can't see them being exactly against the idea of a little longer to prepare given the importance of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor challenger Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 For the first time ever, I'm honestly hoping the game is off. Shows how thin we are squad wise when we are desperate for Woods to be fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how thin we are squad wise when we are desperate for Woods to be fit I see Martin Woods is just as popular with Partick Thistle fans as Ross County supporters. May this fixture forever on be known as the Martin Woods memorial derby. Davies is probably out for County, which means we’ll lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Woods has been fine so far and him being fit allows Barton to play in defence so it would be odd to have any Thistle fan slating him if it wasn't the guy who preferred Ade Azeez to Kris Doolan.

This. Woods has been decent enough in the two or three games he's started, and a far better option than a Barton/Edwards pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
