ex-montrosesaintee Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 No match thread yet, for tomorrow's trip to Fartick Pissle? Don't know what the superstitious crew will make of me starting one, but here goes. Yet another big opportunity to stake a claim for a top 4 place, with Hertz meeting Sevco. Another pair of results like the weekend would be a huge boost to our seasons's prospects. However, we always seem to struggle at Firhill. Cummins must start up front with Macca, as I genuinely feel, and hope, that the goals on Saturday will boost his confidence. There's no denying that he has been poor since his return from injury (until Saturday), but for a decent spell last season he was a good player for us. My starting 11 would be Clark Foster Ando Joe BEaston Alston Millar Muzz Swanson Macca Cummins AthensSaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Huge game for us. If we could win this we could have real separation from the teams below chasing a top six spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same team start as Saturday but it won't shock me to see Swanson dropped and Spoony coming in. Clark Foster Ando Joe BEaston Alston Millar Muzz Wotherspoon Macca Cummins Nice to have so many options and formations available. It's not as sexy as the Man U or Chelsea bench but; Kane, Swanson, Scobbie, Paton, Watson, Craig, Mannus - Still pretty solid personnel. I will be disappointed if we don't win this by a couple.

Cagey Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yeah,think Macca has to be saved for Sunday & not sure Muzz was 100% fit on Saturday. Ando & Joe are the only ones not to be tested over the past few games so Scobbie or Watson may come in for one of them. Looking at the bench on Saturday I thought that outside Celtic it was probably the best in premiership so we should not be afraid of using the squad with so many games in 2 weeks.

Steve McQueen Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Last time I used the Partick match feed using Hola (other vpn's are available) & worked perfectly. Cost a weird amount because was charged in Dollars (£4.62 or somthing) but picture was perfect, about 45 second behind the radio commentary & commentators werent too bad.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 HUGE excitement for this game. Is it actually happening tonight? People seem far more interested in nothing happening on the transfer front, when we all expected nothing to happen on the transfer front. Surely points are the most important thing...

Broon Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Big big game tonight. Opportunity to seal top 6 100% if you ask me. Also with the top 4 playing each other a big chance to push our way in a bit more. This type of opportunity is normally one Saints would fail to take. We've seen it time and time again...chance to go second...lose at home to bottom six side. Chance to grab 3rd...lose at home to bottom six side. Lets hope the lads grab this one with both hands! south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, its precisely this type of game on a cold Winter's night with media attention well and truly elsewhere that can make or break our season.

SaintJet Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Absolutely, and unfortunately the games that we seem to not turn up to. Really hope we buck the trend tonight. Corresponding fixture this time last year we failed miserably and went in to a right funk only arresting the slide prior to the split. However, worth noting their pitch was like a sand pit last year and this year looks pretty good - no excuses. Hope we are confident but not over confident which was definitely the case on Hogmany when we got our ass felt from the Dees. A workmanlike performance is required.

Guest ScottMann Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Home win. With us possibly going 4th tonight Steve will obviously have told Tommy to lose the game given we don't want to qualify for Europe again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Motherwell winning last night puts them only 7 points behind us with a game in hand. I hadn't appreciated how much they'd progressed up the table. A loss tonight could make a top six finish a real challenge, whereas a win could see us clear in 4th place with a healthy gap.
