SaintJet Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 St.Mirren have been on a really good run recently even after a bump in the road against Motherwell. They have serious top six aspirations and it's hard to argue with that. We need to be on top of our game for this and need to be watertight at the back. The other Saints have a good strike partnership up front and will put real pressure on us. Our back players will know they are in a game and have to endure that wee assasin Mane who might be the dirtiest player in the league. Assume we will be starting with the same team that won at Tannadice on Saturday. Hope Stevie can continue his form and I can see Clark getting in the act too. Win this and we can start looking at a genuine push for top six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 With the bottom four playing each other this weekend this is a huge opportunity to push further ahead of them too. John Bonham and Havana Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Aberdeen and Livi play against other too so if they could draw with each other and we could get a win, it'd really start to make the push for top six look a lot more interesting.

Aitchy Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Anyone else really struggle to get motivated for games at McDiarmid these days? Fancy a refreshment before the game? Then come along to the Muirton Suite and queue for 30 minutes to be given a pint of flat lager. Fancy a nice macaroni pie or another speciality pie? Why not queue for another 30 minutes only to be told that there is none left. Fancy watching some dire football? Then why not watch Callum Davidson exciting brand of attacking football at our home stadium that has seen us win 13 homes games out of 50 and scored the grand total of zero goals in 22 of these games.

All good points Aitchy but it's the football fan in us that keeps us coming back. I would love to see an exciting performance and us hopefully go in two up at half time. I've been saying it for the longest time - we are overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Three points against them and the sneaky push for a top 6 is on. A quick question will CD bring Considine back into the team this week ( if his suspension is up) his last game was a shambles but on the whole he has been solid for us this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Another huge game. Win and we have a chance of top 6 lose and we will be back in the mix , either playing nothing games or panicking looking for nil nils. St Mirren have Celtic next up so win next two games and we could be level with them. Only doubt is what will Mr Cautious do.

There is a difference between being an untouchable and being deserving of your place and I think considine falls into the later category.

You can't play all three of Hallberg, MacPherson and Phillips in that formation unless you shove one of them out of position, and what's the point in that? For me we need to stick with a central midfield three while those three are working well together. Either that, or one of them has to drop down to the bench.

At the moment Gordon & Mitchell are as good or bad as one another so I would prefer to play the signed player rather than the loan player. That is nothing against loan players but I feel if there is no difference in performance then the signed player should play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Murphy would probably be a better fit on the left but as he hasn't even been brought on as a sub in the last couple of games , that's not going to happen.

I actually thing Mitchell would stand up better to the dirtiest player in Scottish football. We also need a ref that won't let Main away with his brutality.

PSJ.84 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Doubt the shape will change so the only change that should happen is Considine for Brown, despite Brown playing well last week.
