We are incredibly fortunate to still be in the game at all after the way we’ve performed this season. I know it’s difficult, but there’s little point in hoping Saint Johnstone do us a favour, frankly why should they. We’ve got to approach this game as if only a win is good enough. To be fair if we can’t do better than 1 point from 3 games then it’s fair to say that it’d be difficult to make any kind of argument that we don’t deserve to be relegated. All it remains for we supporters to do is to get right behind our team and hope that they can do the business, Edited May 11, 2018 by stillresigned 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that it is in our own hands, but that we've been poor leaves it in someone else's hands. You're right. Me, I'm personally past the worry situation as I really feel our destiny lies in St Johnstone's hands. Put another way can anyone mind a situation where we've gone to Dens and been disappointed with only a draw? Of course we can win, done that only last season, but it will still take a significant turn in recent performances to achieve the three points. Been impressed enough with the effort of the players since the split so it's not as if we can ask much more of them on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although both Wright and McCann have said they will not be doing anybody any favours,St Johnstone have more to play for as they can still finish higher and get more money.

douglas clark Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 It seems to me that this is still in our own hands. Stick Penrice on the park somewhere up front, just to take corners and free kicks. If he is still capable of doing it, his ability would outshine every other Thistle player on the pitch. Hopefully, if we were losing, or otherwise had to get a point, playing balls into the feet of Salmon might be a tactic we could use, rather than kicking the ball into the sky. Quite why we did that after going 0ne - nil down in the last game is a complete mystery to me. It was never going to work and it was, essentially, a surrender. We can play football, we desperately need to play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Can't believe people are saying it is in St Johnstone's hands. They have nothing to play for. We have everything to play for. Thistle must go out and win. Why does no one have any faith? We've been poor but we've lost one game and overhauled county since the split and given ourselves a chance. If you can't bring yourself to at least back thistle tomorrow in a massive game then I don't see the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Seems ironic that we should be facing our Waterloo on the day of the Eurovision Song Contest. Anyway, the name of the game is that the winner takes it all for the visitors and hopefully Ross County's hold on a premier league place will soon be slipping through their fingers.

If we win we can’t afford to crack open the Bucks Fizz as we’ve got another few games coming up. I’d say well done to Archie for making your mind up on the team selection. If we get beat then Oh Lordi. Edited May 12, 2018 by jags on tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right LIB, can't fault the effort since the split, they're just not good enough. Strikers are firing blanks at the wrong time. V's well the heads went as soon as they scored.
