Jaggernaut Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) A quick comparison of Ross County and us in the run-up to next week's game: They have scored 31 goals, we have scored 16. They have conceded 14 goals, we have conceded 28. They have 33 points, we have 14. They have won 9 games, we have won 4. They have lost 2 games, we have lost 11. Predictions, anyone? Ross County 4, Thistle 0 ETA: After some "brilliant" training sessions this week, of course. Edited December 16, 2018 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenone Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 When we used this to have the great unpredictables tag then this is exactly the kind of game we would win. Sadly that tag has gone and I fear you might be right. I still have the fear from my last trip up there when it was 4-0 and on current form a repeat could be likely.

Unfortunately, all that seems to be predictable about Thistle these days is their painfully slow build-up to attacking moves, lack of movement up front when it eventually transpires that they are trying to attack, and that the defence is usually incapable of holding out for an entire game without losing at least one goal. I have zero expectation of them coming away from Dingwall even with one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 3-0 County if Sneddon plays well, my fears is they could put 5 or more past us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go ahead we will invariably draw or lose and if we go behind we have lost the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Let's be more positive. How about using what appears to be the Gaelic name for Dingwall? Doing better in Inverpeffer. Or maybe something more McGonagall-like? Thistle fans dream of cracking open the beer in the fridge; As they head home in triumph over the Kessock Bridge.

Guest Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Watch the ayr v co game. We are slow and ponderous at best. They are going to slaughter us with pace and direct style. I usually try to be half full kinda mindset but i cannot get beyond an eaay co win. We were going up to this as a Christmas night out but all have cancelled. Another indication of dwindling fan numbers under this regime. Another nail in gary caldwells relegation coffin i fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Where we can look for a little bit of hope, so that we can travel with cautious optimism? Current form? It all favours Ross County. Last result in Dingwall? That nightmare 4-0 humiliation. But wait a minute. In the bleak midwinter, angel voices sing, "Fear not". Look at our last few results in December and January away against Ross County. In the teeth of Storm Barbara, Lindsay, Doolan and Erskine inspire us to a 3-1 victory. A John Robertson header sneaks us a 1-0 in the Scottish Cup. Mark Roberts and Steven McConalogue go crazy in a 5-2 horsing. Martin Hardie nets the winner to strengthen our promotion push in 2002. This is our time. A time to wonder and a time to ponder. A time to thunder and a time to plunder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weebaw1 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I don’t recall anything of the game earlier in the season. Was probably 0-1 like all the others but I don’t think they were very good. Lets travel without fear and get it right up ‘em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garscube Road End Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Hopefully this is where unpredictable tag kicks in. To win up there would give me such a glow pre Christmas. And That's before the alcohol starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
