Callum was right we do have a good squad that he puts his trust in. Seriously, what do the BBC know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Great result. Essentially our B Team just beat the team who are supposedly the 3rd best in the country, and actually made it look quite easy. Everyone played well. Hibs hardly looked bothered once the goal had gone in. I can't see Livi picking up points against Rangers, so 5th place may come down to us not losing against them in the final game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kick off against Sevco at 6, we ko at 7.45, will know what’s needed goal difference wise before ko unless we take the spoils at Parkhead HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive read loads on here from certain posters and it just makes me laugh , craig Bryson is a fantastic player and what a player he was for us , until the fans are in the stadium you won’t realise what he does , his work rate is unbelievable and I used to get tired watching him Brian Potter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Potter Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Since we’ve finally caught Livi, would be interesting to know how many points they were ahead of us when wee Davey Martindale was talk of the town? Don’t hear much from wee Davey these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne Saint Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Think today's result is massive. Good defensive display, gave them stuff all. As a defensive unit, from defence to forwards, we've become really solid. Just hope no-one comes knocking for Kerr, McCart, Rooney. Whilst most crave the cup success, and all that entails, we're in a pretty good position for Europe. To me it just comes down to 2 massive games now... Midden & Livi. In an ideal situation, beat Midden & hope Hibs beat Utd. Beat Livi, and we've secured Europe. Then the cup final will take on a different tone for the players, regardless of result. Naturally we want to win, but a great position to be in. Wonder what SB has for their bonus payments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On January 20th, they drew with Celtic, and were in 5th place with 32pts from 23 games. Saints were in 9th with 23pts from 24 played. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55642353 On the 24th, they win their semi-final. On the 26th, the bawbag wins his hearing, and they fall off the rails. Since then we've made up the 9 point deficit: Livi have taken 12pts from 13 games, and the mighty Saints have taken 21pts from 12 matches. And, of course, took them apart in the League Cup Final. blueheaven and Brian Potter 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 That was a cunning ploy by Saints yesterday, playing in their yellow strip which made Portious pass to Middleton thinking he was in a Hibs yellow strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats what I thought as well. His line of vision didnt look like it was obscured. Looked like he thought he was passing to his teammate. Thought MOH played well again yesterday. Good pace and strength, needed a bit more support at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were without Clark, Rooney, Tanser, Craig, Melamed, Wotherspoon. I'd say these are all first-team players. Forgot to say - another good game from Middleton. I think he's found his home and we need to get him signed up, at least on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a a B-team because it was made up of predominantly second-string players. Not sure I understand your question. We have seen a number of Saints teams that will beat them, and arguably more comfortably than yesterday’s team. No idea why we’d field a weakened team if we reach the final and play against Hibs.

I would never suggest fielding a weakened team. As I stated on another thread Kane Middleton and O'Halloran have been our best combination who have played together as a front 3. Playing that same formation up front in 3 5 3 does not weaken the team or make it a B team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when I can only recall 1 shot on target and that came from a Hibs error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you not the guy that was saying Middleton hadn’t impressed over the last few weeks? We wouldn’t have scored yesterday had it not been for the mistake Porteous made. im sure we’ll be playing Melamed and May/Kane anyway so it’s a non story.
