Brazilian Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just watched the press conference with McCall. Nothing about big Mick having an Op. Where has that come from.... from the match preview email sent out to real fans or everyone on the clubs email register.... It was hoped the mini interval would provide ample time to clear the busy treatment table, however, John Porteous is as busy as ever. Fraser Kerr (ankle), Simon Ramsden (knee), Lee Hollis (groin), Lee Erwin (knee) and Craig Moore (ribs) will all definitely miss the match. Stephen McManus had a minor operation during the break but should make it, although two other regulars are are nursing injuries and are doubtful. With Adam Cummins and Bob McHugh out on loan, it leaves Stuart McCall with limited options ahead of the match. That will allow for some of the clubs’ talent from Jonatan Johansson’s Under 20s squad the chance to impress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 With Kerr n Ramsden out, Hammell is usually McCalls choice for right back. ZFA to left back and the rest pick themselves. need to get in front early and /thistle might find it difficult to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambunctious Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Apart from Kerr being out, we're not really any worse off than we were against the Dons last time out. Just disappointing we haven't been able to make use of the three week lay-off. Although I'm sure we've done all we could. Even if every 'doubt' missed out, our team would probably look something like this: Neilson Carswell Murray Hutchinson Hammell Ainsworth Lawson Lasley ZFA Anier Sutty/Faddy Not terrible considering we could in theory have 8 players missing. In saying that, I'd love to see what our bench would look like if that were the case!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 If we have as many players out as is being forecast on here then my hope for tomorrow is a downpour of biblical proportions, game called off so i can sit in the pub getting wankered watching my coupon go down in flames. Carlsberg don't do saturdays...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, I'd love to see what our bench would look like if that were the case!! That defence would cause me concern. Euan Murray is untested and requires a gradual introduction to the team. He would need protection from a strong central midfield - something we're not at all good at. Stuart Carswell, for all his strengths, is never a right back as he proved against Aberdeen. With Ainsworth not being the best defender in the world Partick could rip us to shreds down our right flank, if they have a decent left winger. If Stuart Carswell played there they would focus on that weakness. Probably best to play Stevie Hammell at RB with ZFA filling the left back berth. Faddy & Ainsworth on the wings with Anier and Sutton up front. In addition to the above, we also have 2 or 3 others carrying knocks, so its anyone's guess what team will line up. If they're defenders we're really in trouble. We have a very small squad and this season we have been unlucky with injuries. On the bright side today will possibly give some youngsters the opportunity to at least fill the bench. However they may not be ready for that. Time will tell. Probably McManus has a better than even chance of making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The one key issue is that we are not exactly awash with cash right now. The club need to get money into the club and 700-1000 Thistle fans will help. So the club will be doing everything they can to get the game on. No mention of pitch inspection and rain due to go off around an hour and right up and till this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 At mini steelkids with the boy. Pitch not looking good. Already heavily sanded around south stand goalmouth and corner flag. No covers down. If rain keeps up I'd say it's touch and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Not much we can do about the weather and given what is happening down south we are getting off lightly. That said a bummer it has to dump 12 mm of rain on the pitch overnight and this morning. It will be dry this afternoon and most of tomorrow.... but great timing NOT..

Kmcalpin Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 1pm pitch inspection though so not officially on. You would have thought that the referee would have made efforts to arrive a bit earlier or am I being unfair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
