It's Mitov and nobody else comes close.

Saints 1-0 Adama Gordon

Don’t kill the quasi-optimistic vibe with actually making us think about how terribly this game will pan out

Get your predictions in!

Saints 1 Hibs 0 Sidibeh McGowan

i agree completely. Once Sid gets a a good pre seaseon under his belt and starts getting an eye for thegame up here he's going to be hot property. Add another 2 years to his contract in late summer.

Or a recalled Chris Kane… In all seriousness I think, along with Mitov, Sidibeh has become “undroppable”. Some feat for a guy with only a few hundred professional minutes in his legs. Hopefully plans afoot to add a couple of years to his current contract.

Interesting. I won't be suprised to see Steve May and Nicky Clark start up front.🤣

"So far it has been Nicky and Adama up top but Benji is in there challenging them for a place. “No doubt we will look at different systems over the next five games depending on who we’re playing. “So there will be two up top again and that very well could be Benji and Adama."

St Johnstone 0 Hibs 2 Goal: Youan Card: McGowan

Embarrassing giving a player of the year award to a guy that has only started 6 matches. We are where we are I suppose but for me it’s crossing a bit of a line doing that.

He already is apparently. I’m sure his party line will be “we are waiting to see what league we are in” but I know he is quite far along with a defender.

All three are back training and all will have had a full week at full speed under their belts. We need a spark from somewhere. A half fit Drey and DJ are better than having a fully fit Kucheriavyi and Gallagher. Team needs a boost and it’s do or die for us. As far as I know it’s only Sprangler and Sinclair that aren’t back in full training.

MacLean’s is exactly 1 - 11 of the 15 points were last season. Levein’s is 1.04. Defeat on Saturday would have Levein with 24 points from 24 games.

No Dan or sprangler that's the worry

Drey Wright and Liam Gordon can both be spotted in this training video posted by the club today, but I couldn't see any sign of Phillips or DJ.

Yeah , the only question is who will replace Phillip's and will he make any tactical changes I the first 85 mins.

I think he'll be on the bench and God save us if he does start and we get humped. I can only imagine the knashing of teeth on here.

Saints 1-3 Hibs Goal- Maolida Card- Philips

I'm guessing that would be most people's team if everyone's fit but aren't Gordon, Wright and Jaiyesimi all still doubts? If the above three aren't ready to start I'd go: Mitov Keltjens McGowan Gordon Robinson Franczak Smith Phillips Carey Sidibeh Kimpioka (In fact, what I'd prefer would be May starting on the left instead of Carey, but there's no way Levein is doing that.) But yeah let's face it: Kucheriavyi and Gallacher are starting, and I wouldn't be gigantically surprised if Cammy MacPherson's starting too.

What do you want? We already get games at a cut price by buying the season ticket.

I think MacLean had a small bounce after Davidson and Levein had a small bounce after MacLean, but neither upturn was massive. Even during MacLean's caretaker period I think there were red flags around what he was doing and I still find it bizarre he was given the job based on those games. Just complete laziness on Steve Brown's part is all it comes down to. That said, I also think Macca had a really difficult first pre-season, what with having to rebuild so much of the squad with a reduced budget and then having loads of injuries to contend with. Clearly he had to go, but there's no doubt at all it was a very tough gig for such an inexperienced manager. Levein is going to have a similar rebuild on his hands this summer with a similar number of players likely to leave, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles that if he's still here.
