🔴🟡 Partick Thistle v Ayr United ⚫️⚪️ - Halloween extravaganza

[oneteaminglasgow]

Both sides looking to bounce back from disappointing weekends.

Dowds being out for this could be helpful for us, as I see he’s done fairly well since moving. God knows what our injury situation will look like, but we could really do with some bodies back in.

I don’t think it’ll be quite the thrashing that we dished out last time (or the two times before that) but I’ll be optimistic and say 2-0 Thistle.

Are you all still wanting Bullen sacked? 

[Trogdor]

No Dowds? A front line of Rose & McKenzie?

Partick Thistle ? - Ayr United 0

[itzdrk]

Certainly more confident than if it had been a home game, not enough to think we will win though.

We'll prove how little we've learned from previous hidings.However a late rally when Partick bring on the pie stall staff for a shot will make the scoreline 5-2

It should be marketed as such to boost ticket sales IMO.

guaranteed that lots of people will go BOO

Muirhead should be back in for wasiri, who imo stopped us from being able to play from the back. Ngwenya went off injured at Hampden, no idea how serious it is, regardless we desperately need McMillan back.

Will Partick be selling a stream for this?

Not seen it announced yet, but if we’re allowed to then I imagine we will be.

Blackout is only on Saturday afternoons so you will be allowed to

He absolutely will. Best case for us is probably to go 3 in midfield and try to scrape a draw, we're not winning this.

Haha - yeah, I know he will. 

Rose is like a worse version of Chris McGuire so far. Pace levels very similar!

I would be happy enough with that team tbh.

Do we have to?

[Oceanlineayr]

Very good chance us just forfeiting this for the 3-0 defeat would result in a better outcome for our goal difference.

[AUcal]

We're away so I can see us actually putting in a decent performance, with the aim of pressing Partick quite high and generally aiming to restrict their play wherever possible - looking to take opportunities on the break or via Partick errors that result from our press. 

In our previous 3 away games we were successful in that approach, got ourselves infront and ended up in relative control for large portions of the game, not solely relying on the pressing tactic - which was very pleasing to see.

The issue here is that I think Thistle have a better side than QP, Airdrie or Dunfermline. So we will see if that can actually work here - or if they'll just carve through us with relative ease like they did at Somerset.  We also don't have the focal point in Dowds, which will likely be a big loss.

I predict Partick 2-1 Ayr.

What stand are we in?
