SaintJet Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 So after a season that started with expectations of us playing regular european group stage football we find ourselves in the last chance saloon. It really is hard to fathom our fall from grace! In any normal season I would expect us to wash the floor with Cally after the hardships and schedule they have been through to get to this stage. In any "normal" season. We need to finish this tie up in the highlands - Cally have injuries and suspensions and if we can't get past them over two games we should throw in the towel. We will have our first choice team back out but again who knows what this is? I will conclude that should we survive this hellish of all weeks and remain a Premier league team our manager should do the decent thing so we can still hold him in a high regard for the happier times we have enjoyed with him playing and managing us in Perth. I expect us to win this handily on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibbydoo Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Agree with all of that but I'm struggling to feel confident. Fingers crossed we somehow make it through. Fingers crossed our manager leaves straight after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) A spectacular and embarrassing fall from grace to be compounded by defeat in Inverness and a draw at McD. Davidson to stay and attempt to win promotion. Clark, Rooney, Hendry and McCart to leave and our team will be built around Crawford and MacPherson. With Kane the focal point for attack. Our defence of Cleary, Gordon and Mahon will be unable to play the way the system requires. Davidson will stick with this system because it's a new division with management that have not faced it regularly. Our new goalkeeper will have been on the books of Stoke or Millwall. Fun times for all. Edited May 16, 2022 by rik2304 blueheaven, saintee in exile and MySpazz 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySpazz Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I don't feel confident, because i think our team is not good enough. As results have shown ..... 2-1 in inverness. 0-0 at McD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Looking forward to this end of season, we have been tiresome during the season but the last few months shows there is more to us than relegation fodder. Great support already going, its a cup final again, 1st game is only half time and hope our European adventures can help us with preparing for 2 legs. Both teams have decent defences so its what front line will shine. Really like to win the tie on Friday, I'm going 4-1 Saints. Inverness to see another red, bunch of kickers!

Linky Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think we might be ok. The way ICT got through won't help their confidence. I could see a 1-0 win and a 0-0 draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 I reckon ICT will hope to nick a goal and park the bus and hope to be alive going into the second leg. Hopefully the class of Hendry can shine through if he is given decent service. Our fans have backed our team all season, if the players and managers show the same passion as the fans then we will stay in the top flight. In saying that do I see us cruising through the two legs, not a chance in hell, this team doesn’t know how to find the easy route with our tactics.

saint-johns-toun Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Im going in to these games very very negative, the way the team has been picked, and played over the last few weeks has been abhorrent to say the least, not enjoyable to watch at all... I think we are going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to our likely gameplan then! I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this entire tie settled by either one scrappy goal, or two 0-0s followed by someone winning on penalties.

slambrother Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Anyone have any idea of the ticketing arrangements for our home game? would fully expect to miss an email sent out at a random time saying tickets are on sale and that season ticket holders won’t have an option to secure their own seat!

I have no reason or evidence for this but I expect the game to be done and dusted in Inverness; I see us winning 0-3.

Sundays meaningless game proved that, Rooney centre back (no he is not) and the cherry on top MOH LEFT wing back (no he is not) He is right footed winger, but CD needed someone to play there rather than change his system. His stubbornness has dragged our team in to the abyss. It will be they same again next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) My poin t is he will not change the system How about Parish Rooney Cleary Mahon MCart MOH Butterfield Crawford Sang Middleton Ciftci That is not risking Brown or Gordon and we do not have to play Rooney at centre back and MOH at left wing back Edited May 17, 2022 by Johnny B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
