Hopefully we can start the game well tonight. The mental approach will be very important. Its all to play for. We have shown we are a better side than them. When the chances come, we need to be composed and focussed to take them.

Hopefully Abdulai is available.
Definitely need a good start as I suspect the will have fresher legs in the last 20 minutes.
Very impressed that the team have been working so hard for so long now.

Tbis game is a new challenge. If you dont challenge yourself you dont get better. Win or lose they will be better for the experience. Teams who never give up are hard to beat. A never give up mentality tonight will serve us well.

Really difficult game to call, I think it may be a step too far and Thistle have the better strength in depth just now to freshen things up as well. But with this current team and manager nothing would surprise me.
A win tonight would truly be a special achievement considering the number of games over this closing portion of the season and how good Thistle have been all year.

We really need to target Ashcroft tonight, he was absolutely blowing out his aarse the other night towards the end of the game and he knew it.
This is a special group of players and Lennon will have them right up for this game, what a season it has been, The feel good factor really is back within the club on and off the field, we have really been through it for the last decade but this really could be a turning point!

Zero pressure on our boys tonight. It`s been a good season regardless. Agree on Ashcroft but I`m hoping he`ll be sent off if the referee is any good.

Effectively a one off cup tie - could go either way

We`ve seen it when he was with us, if you can isolate Ashcroft in 1v1s at pace, force him into uncomfortable decisions and have a competent referee to pull him up you have a shot.
Let`s just hope the referee tonight does us some favours as Nicolson certainly wasn`t interested in helping us at all

Yes agree re Ashcroft, if we keep the ball down around him or push the ball either side of him he will struggle.

Ashcroft also struggled for pace. They make up for it though by having Smyth sit in front of him most of the time.
I didn`t think the fullbacks in Reading and McPherson were great for them. Hopefully Morrison stays wide and we can get him and Tod/Todd running at them.

100%
I do think we’ve got the fortitude to pull something out the bag tonight - and as said above, I’d be making it a game plan to run at Ashcroft as he’ll be prone to getting two yellows tonight

We have nothing to lose. They will be nervous playing at home given the circumstances.
