eljaggo Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 3 home games seem OK, and we have done well at McDairmid in the recent past. Ross County at home is a big bonus. Strongest team (Motherwell) at home, and hardest game is probably Dundee away, but as the last game that might work in our favour if we find safety before then or know what we have to do on the day.

jaggy Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Reasonable fixtures but pity the last day is an away game. However due to working away i’ll miss all 3 home games so it could be season over for me unless we end up in the play off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotterJag Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Couldn't have asked for better. A home win in our first game against Hamilton and I'll think we'll finish above bottom place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Lambie Day derby to kick us off. If only we can channel some of his spirit into the squad and we might just have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 3 winnable games at home and we can also pick up something in the away games.We know there is different views regarding the manager and players but I am sure the one thing we all have in common is to see Thistle stay in the top league so lets get right behind Thistle for the next 5 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightswood Jag Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Players should be shown Grasping The Thistle before Hamilton game, would really inspire them to go on and stay up. (Not been on this for months) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 If Killie beat Accies on Saturday and we beat them first game up then they would surely be looking over their shoulders. Those fixtures are probably the best we could have hoped for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 All of these home fixtures have already been won this season so same again please and nick something in Perth and it could look a good bit rosier come final day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that is a totally different thing from saying that we will win all five of them or even any of them. To be fair, that is a totally different thing from saying anything that makes sense We have the best set of fixtures we could have hoped for, games which we have shown we can win. A wave of optimism and hope; anyone up for a last day party in Dundee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I can see a final day where Dundee and ourselves both need 1 point to end up out of the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 A decent offer from the club of reduced ticket prices and free buses for away games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I agree that we played quite well Saturday. But we STILL couldn’t score. How can we glean 8 or 10 points when we don’t score any goals? An interesting comparison was made with the 72/73 squad and I haven’t checked but I suspect they scored a load more goals which could have pulled them out of the position we are currently in. I cannot see us suddenly becoming a free scoring team to allow us to escape. And I would have certainly enjoyed that season more than the dross this year. Only legends Doolan and Erskine can prove me wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first game against Hamilton is vital.A Thistle win would hopefully give everybody confidence we can still stay up.I know our form of late/most of the season has been poor,but lets hope these last 5 games we find some form and pick up the required results to keep us in the league.

Guest Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Listened to the radio scotland muppets on thursday night and majority had us in bottom spot. I wanted to be full of the rage but their reasoning was too solid. I think it was michael stewart who said we should be in strongest position as archie has more experience then the other managers and all agreed that of the few matches they have seen (and although you might not like them they have footbal knowledge) they thought we were really good and are surprised we are where we are. All i could think of was they couldn't have been to any of the last 6 games. We are not scoring, not really creating, the midfield seem lost at times and the defence can be solid but several times in a game are all at sea. I just hope archie and shaggy use this negativity of the media to motivate the team. I'd take staying up with 5 jammy wins with scrappy winners but if we do go down i hope its fighting scratching and biting and not with a whimper. I'm with auld jag, get behind the team win or lose and KJ (welcome back) suggests the players management and fans to watch grasping the thistle before the hamilton game to see what it means to be a jag, spirit of lambie must surely motivate our team.

Norgethistle Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Form has us down Pundits have us down A lot of us on here (based on last 33 games) have us down But when have Thistle went with form? Add to that the Lambie effect galvanizing the fans, the club reducing reducing admission prices and putting free buses on. The fans are coming together for one last push, the club is doing what it can to get a noisy crowd in, we just need the players to step up to the mark, give us 5 games to be proud of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool Jags Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Very decent fixtures for us. Some great posts above. A heady combination of Thistle love, grit and Mr Lambie watching over the team WILL deliver us from the purgatory of relegation. Another few weeks of unconditional love for the Thistle will go a long way towards keeping us up. Keep the faith, everybody. We Are Thistle.
