I also have no idea what your point is. Simple on past performance we will win one in four league games the statistical model predicted we would lose the playoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 25 % ?......will be higher at home I suspect so given falkirk are a little unknown ......we have what 50/50 chance of getting a draw ? 10 minutes ago, javeajag said: Simple on past performance we will win one in four league games the statistical model predicted we would lose the playoff So, we draw 50% of our games and win 25%.

If the trend continues great goal though we avoid relegation but in this plus side Archie leaves as we didn’t get promoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jukebox Rebel Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 In competitive action for Thistle, only Willie Sharp (13), Jimmy Walker (9) and John Torbet (9) have scored more goals against Falkirk than former godlike-genius Chris Erskine (7). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up my thoughts better than i could. I'm Sad this is the case but true nonethless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its either McGinty or Penrice at left centre back and O'Ware or Keown on the right. At the moment O'Ware looks like our best player. However its difficult to pick a competitive starting eleven as there such glaring holes in the squad. e.g. Neither McCarthy or Slater are really defensive midfielders but we simply have no-one else. That's a pretty bad state of affairs when you are going into the 6th competitive game of the season. If Falkirk can defend reasonably well then I'm not confident as we are easy to score against on the counter attack as our lack of midfield defense puts too much pressure on a defence that is brand new and needs time to gel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watties wallies Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 football is a funny old game tomorrows fixture against the bairns, both of us have not really got out of second gear just say for instance you are the falkirk manager, which of our players would you think could cause you problems? imo i would say erskine for his technical skill and creative play and of course doolan half a chance and ra baw is in ra net now this season we have certainly not played to doolans' strength, that is ra baw on ra deck not crosses coming in at 10 feet up in the air not big punts up to him with at least 2 big centre halfs clearing their lines with ease now take erskine imo he is the only one that tries to take the ball forward in an effort to create chances the problem with erskine is that when he does get the ball and tries to push forward, there isn't one thistle player that makes a forward run with him to draw defenders that's why he usually gets caught in possession, opposition players just crowd him out when we have possession and moving forward the midfield at least should push on and support the forwards in other words we attack as a team and defend as a team ......simple! i have no idea what team archie will play tomorrow, for myself i would certainly give penrice a chance at left mid if we play with real passion and belief we will win tomorrow however if we go with our usual cautious approach and square ball passes then who knows so lets get behind the team from the off we are thistle let's not forget Davie McParland tomorrow a true thistle legend, a sad day, but many happy memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Wouldn’t class tomorrow as a relegation decider, but we’re in danger of getting stuck in a losing rut (if not already). A win and good performance will do wonders for morale, a win and poor performance will buy some time to work on the performance. Poor performance and defeat, and the pressure mounts, plus the anger and frustration from the fans. Not sure what team or tactics (Hopefully a change from the monotonous side ball, big punt to no-one) for tomorrow, we really need some speed and (forward) movement, be interesting to see if we can field a full subs bench, not heard of anyone injured.

Summed up very well, Norge. Bit weird tomorrow in so much as I don't feel there's much interest in who starts and who doesn't. Or similarly what formation we play. As you say some speed and forward movement is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Kris & Chris need to perform. These are the guys who can inspire this team. Young Aidan has the ability but needs help as it can’t all be left to him. Blair Sittal needs to play at the level of his first 2 months. Tam O’Ware should be captain in my opinion. If that lot happens (or most of it) we might have a chance tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
