SaintJet Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Okay back to the day job. After a brilliant win in the cup semi it's time we started converting some of these decent performances in to wins and try and get us steered away from trouble. Loads of options avalable and I would expect some changes - maybe May and Melemed getting a start. Aberdeen's performances are streaky and they are very beatable. We sold the early season game ( rearranged after theirCovid transgression ) when we shold have taken something from the game. A cup run keeps everyone on their toes and bouyant and I expect us to win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 The problem we have with games coming quick and fast is our back 3 (Kerr Gordon and McCart) need to play, Rooney in the same category. All other positions can be rotated. Would like to see us going back to 3.4.1.2 for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double deluxe Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Would like to think we'll go back to 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 but might Craig Conway be undroppable in the manger's eyes after his heroics on Saturday? Could probably play as the '10' behind two strikers but that would mean doing the unthinkable and giving Wotherspoon a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be squad rotation due to the number games we have to play & Conway & Muzz are getting on a bit. Fortunately otherwise we have a relatively young squad & Spoony looks like he can now manage 90 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saints Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 What the cup game has reinforced for me is that I know nothing about football. What I do know is our results haven’t reflected our effort in games. I agree with fellow postee ..Aberdeen ARE beatable so hoping for the best expecting the worst... I still don’t get the tactics or team selection but happy to go along with the ‘adventure’ that is St Johnstone... never dull ... predictably unpredictable COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintdunc Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Obviously we have to carry the momentum over to this game and not let it go to our heads thinking we are unplayable and unbeatable. Aberdeen are there for the taking, and McInness, whilst he is not really on a shoogly peg, could have it loosened significantly if we rip them one.

Johnny B Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, SaintJet said: Not heard of any injuries for tonight's game we cannot afford any with 5 games in 15 days. He will have to rest some but not all will get a rest as we have such a small squad. Our defenders will be hit the hardest as he will not want to rest any of them and weaken the team. At some stage could Middleton and MOH replace Wotherspoon and Conway, The 4 strikers can easily be rotated. It is a difficult choice do we burn out players or rotate and not play our best team.

The back 3 have the hardest & most physical job to do & we don't have great cover. Not sure about the strikers. Wouldn't like to replace Guy & Kano with May & Hendry but the way Kano plays he can't play 2 games a week for 4 weeks without injury or suspension. Wouldn't be surprised to see May playing tonight.
