SaintJet Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 After a good showing on Sunday we should be approaching this game with some confidence. Our last visit here we were terrible so I'm hoping we can try to get some revenge. I can see a few changes to freshen things up - maybe give May a wee rest and start with Kane and Hendry up front and Jason Holt coming in for Spoony. Would love to win this and put clear daylight between us and the teams at the bottom. Havana Saint and Kilgour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgour Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 St Mirren playing quite well but we should have enough for three points. Hopefully we will use the squad as these three games can make our season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're right Cagey, but lets do them. We haven't given a team a hiding this season, and we're due one. 4-2 us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Also think we need to use more of the squad. Crucial we win this game. We might have eyes on top 6 but not out of it at the bottom yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't envisage too many changes in our starting eleven, with perhaps Ralston returning. Way we are playing gives us hope of returning with three points. However, at this stage the result is more important than the performance. If we can achieve both, so much the better.

Harsh on Gordon but he will get his turn. Craig or Holt for Butcher due to his lack of game time . Tommy will also have to asses if May & Hendry have refreshed. Wright & Spoony on wings. Although Mikey will be fresher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Just play Drey Wright at right-back, he was excellent defensively on Sunday. I'd be quite happy with O'Halloran being in front of him. Ralston won't be back at the end of the season, and Wright is a much better player. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Fine balancing act this one. Does he play the same team and hope they have enough energy to see the game through. Does he rest players for Saturday's game against Hibs (and a possible top 6 slot) Will he revert to 4:4:2 or his favourite 4:5:1 I hope he goes 4:4:2 bring in Booth and Ralston that allows him to rest 3 of the the defenders. Bring in MOH on the wing and give Wright and Wotherspoon 45 min each(or 60/30). Midfield;d he has many permutations. Rest Hendry or May or again 60/30. The back 4 of Ralston Kerr McCart Booth have not let us down. We will not lose much if anything playing MOH on the wing. Clark Ralston   Kerr   McCart   Booth Wright     McCann   Craig    MOH May    Kane If Tommy plays 5 in midfield and 1 up front Holt in for Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Playing wing back in a 5 is completely different to full back in a 4. There were a few occasions Kerr was dragged out to cover, something that's an issue in a 4. Johnny B and Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
