The ghost of Jim Morton Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Next up a trip to Hamilton and a game on their astro pitch. Pretty sure we will have Macca and Muzz both missing for this one due to the surface. We missed them at Killie and I am sure we will miss them on Saturday but hopefully we can do the business without them. A win would cement our top six status and could actually take us up to 4th if Ross county fail to beat the Arabs. Come on yee Saints.

rik2304 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Tough one. Our recent record down there isn't too great. MacLean is a BIG miss for us as he is really firing on all cylinders just now but hopefully the other strikers can take this opportunity.

SaintJet Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Good chance for some of the other fringe players to be getting a run out. I agree Muzz and Macca will sit this out and If MOH isn't 100% fit after his recent injury I'd like to see him sit on the bench also - Craig Thompson comes to mind.We have a good squad of players and this is the type of game we should be looking to get a result from against a very big and fit team.My new found optimism has me thinking we should win this.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Not sure what to make of Hamilton this season. Agree that both Muzz and Macca are huge losses, and we never seem to play well on the artificial pitches (although it always seems to me that Hamilton's produces less mistakes than Killie's, which just seems dreadful to play on)I'd like to see Cummins and O'Halloran playing wide and Kane through the middle to hound their defence, which he does so well.MannusJoe Scobbie Ando EastonWotherspoon Craig LappinO'Halloran CumminsKane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krm81 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Davidson missed the Kilmarnock game because he picked up an injury against Hamilton the week before. He played on the plastic at Accies, Killie and Queen of the South last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethamsaintee Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 The excitement is palpable I see.To my mind using the pitch as an excuse is utter nonsense. We won a fair few times there in the past, yet because we failed to win there last season people automatically think we've a terrible record there.Like any Saints game anything could happen but if we go out treating Hamilton like Bayern Munich then we'll most definitely lose. Play our own game and we will get a positive result. Setting Son 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play our own game and we will get a positive result.The game I saw there last season we were absolute cack in the first half, but were all over them in the second. This was when we couldn't score a goal for love nor money, and despite having all the possession and getting into their third of the park most of the time, we never ever looked like equalising.Given our attacking prowess so far this season, that hardly seems a concern.0-3, glorious win beckoning. lethamsaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I thought they were probably one of the best teams to visit us this season despite the score but would be disappointed if we didn't get 3 points.If Midge is fit I would start himon the bench seeing as its a plastic pitch.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is Mackay still suspended?Yes, 2 game ban. agree with Muzz for Spoony, if available. I do wonder if his recent form, no mercy style and recent knee and ankle trouble will make TW err on the side of caution though.i didn't mean to put Ando and Scobbie the wrong way round, sorry :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Tough match - Accies have a very good home record and a very decent team. They've also got that big Lucas guy, who Maclean and Cummins had on toast at McDiarmid, suspended. Canning likely to come back in, so MOH better watch himself.Maclean out for Kane and perhaps Lappin for Wotherspoon. There's possibly an argument to bring in Fisher for Shaughnessy too as the last couple of games I've seen Shaughnessy has struggled a little bit - he's played every match this season, so maybe needs a rest?Looking forward to it already.

Brogan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Maclean out for Kane and perhaps Lappin for Wotherspoon.I think Tommy will go for Sutton as a replacement despite Kane's performance on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I really hope not to be honest. Kane's pace will prove much more troublesome to Accies' defence than Sutton's height IMO. byebyedundee, Cagerf and dave mc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Just a note to those travelling by car watch out for the roadworks on the M73/74 average speed cameras (40mph) and also massive roadworks on the roundabout at Strathclyde Country Park which was queued solid the other night.
