9queens Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Because I can't conceive of a world where this Morton side go 8 unbeaten I think we'll win. But I also don't think 3 out of 3 v. the Ton is statistically likely either. So...draw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Hrhm. I'd back Aero to handle Oakley (could bite my arse if he gets red carded for elbowing him stupidly in the first half or something tbf but he dealt well with, say, Akinyemi in the playoff last year) but I'm a bit concerned, Dundee Utd have pressed us to death this season and going by the match thread Morton were able to do much the same to Utd in their win the day. Fitzpatrick down the left + Lawless/McMillan on the right should carry enough attacking threat, dont think Lawless/McMillan have been as effective recently but they were excellent against Morton in the 2-1 game earlier iirc. If he plays then running at Broadfoot *should* get us a fair bit of joy. On the other side Robbie Muirhead banging one in against us from 25 yards is always a worry... Edit: might have been the 4-1 game come to think of it Edited January 6 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'll take a draw in my head. Morton back on form, players coming back I fear our ghost-like midfield against teams who have players in there. Overall though, I think we can get the 3 points. No easy task though, as we were the last team to hand a defeat to Morton. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I don't fancy us here at all tbh. We did well today against a shite opposition but have no real momentum and a very soft midfield. Greenock will be right up for it and are on a great run. Would be delighted with a point. Bonus if BBG gets a goal and causes a stooshie of some kind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton went 11 league games without defeat last year, though funnily enough that streak was bookended by defeats to Partick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Would settle for a draw here to maintain the 10 point gap. Will be a tough game though, there's a great feeling at Cappielow at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I might be tempted to wager a modest sum on 2-1 to us. Keeping Fitzpatrick and Lawless quiet and stopping your full-backs getting too far forward probably the key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Perfect hattrick odds: Robbie Crawford - 7/2 Grant Gillespie - 8/1 Alan Power - 12/1 Kirk Broadfoot - 1/100 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye ,should be an interesting Battle Royale on your left with the Olympian Broadfoot and Wee Stevie .I have no doubt BBBG will also figure large in this encounter .

Mr.Blue Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 We owe Partick after the last game at Cappielow where they ended up battering us. Looking forward to this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Thought the 1-4 was a tad harsh on us at the time but Partick took their chances, we never! I'm expecting a much closer affair this time around. If we have any aspirations of catching Partick, we need to win this. They will be encouraged by yesterday's results and feel a run could get them closer to the top 2. We should have a full squad to choose from for the first time this season, although not sure where Mcdonald has been the last few weeks but Mullen is clear number 1 anyway. Expect us to line up Mullen French Baird Broadfoot Strapp Wilson Power Blues Crawford Muirhead Oakley Bench- Murdoch, O'connor, Waters, Gillespie, Boyd, McGrattan, Bearne, Quitongo, Garrity. Gillespie could replace Power possibly. Looking forward to this. Team will be absolutely buzzing with the run so should go into this full of confidence. Should be a good crowd too, expect Partick will bring 7-800 down so hopefully 3k+ 3-2. Oakley, Muirhead, Crawford. Of course Graham will score too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Potential for this to be a great game of football. I'm really looking forward to it! All players should be back from injury for this one plus of course our two loanees Garrity and King. Quite incredibly we'll have a full squad to choose from and will have real options on the bench - oh my days! Absolute nothing to fear and with our forwards bang on form there will be goals in this game for sure. I fancy our chances and I can see another win for Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely your first ambition should be to catch 4th placed Airdrie, who you’re 2 points off with a game in hand? Quite a turnaround for the Ton in recent weeks, and in the spirit of the football clichés that no one likes, I expect “they’ll be right up for this”. Would probably take a draw, although another win would be great, likely to be a tight encounter like the match at Firhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
