Partick Thistle Preview

Speaking to the local press, TB said “It’s just about the players having the belief to keep on going and if they do then I’m confident we can start getting some positive results.”

A big contingent will follow the Mighty ‘Well into Glasgow for this game. Some are already suggesting that this will be one of the first relegation battles of the season but surely that cannot be reasonable at this relatively early stage.

“It’s a big game for us as we didn’t play well against Partick at Fir Park last time,” said Butcher.

Partridge is suspended
Only David Partridge’s suspension prevents the manager choosing from a full squad and James McFadden will be welcomed back after almost a month without wearing the claret and amber.

The Firparkcorner messageboard went into overdrive after last week’s defeat against Livingston. There was much comment on the performance of Stevie Woods. Will Terry give him a rest and play the inexperienced Duborbeau? Or will Woodsie come out and silence his critics with a clean sheet?

Terry’s quote suggests that our longest serving player will keep his place, “I’m not going to make any drastic changes just because we lost so heavily to Livvy as I believe we are going in the right direction”, he said

No matter which eleven get the nod the travelling support will make a lot of noise as they urge the Steelmen forward. This is a time for loud, enthusiastic and supportive fans.

There’s no reason why we cannot enjoy a Saturday night in the town and return to Lanarkshire with three points. 2-0 to the ‘Well.
