Against us, it might be different. We’ve got an idea of how they’ll play." At Tynecastle we played pretty well and were undone by a sclaffed Shankland goal, we didn't show any inferiority to Hearts so hopefully they go out toninght with the same mentality and take the game to them.

Brian Potter Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 A tough game anyway, never mind if we’re missing Smith and Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different management team. It will be backs to the wall and hope Benji can latch on to one of our clearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I'd like to see us play at 5 3 2 tonight with sprangler Carey and Smith in the middle of it's a four in the middle think Fran would be great with these three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 If Keltjens is fit, I think he'll stick to a back four like Saturday, with pretty much the same line up, although I would swap Max for Sven. For me, that would give us a more settled midfield with Sprangler looking after the centre backs, Connor Smith (who I thought was decent at the weekend) in front of him in the box to box role, then Carey going forward to help Benji when needed. We also have Kerr Smith as an option at the back though, although I've no idea if Levein thinks he's ready yet. I would imagine the tactic will be to defend resolutely then hit them on the break. With Kimpioka and Sidibeh in the squad, we might actually get some joy from that. It'd be great to get something from this game for the points obviously, but also for confidence and to get a bit of momentum going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgian Saint Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Looking forwards to another stellar Saints tv production this evening. Hopefully Philips and Smith will be back. Feels like the pressure is easing a wee bit with implosion at county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fail to see what he brings ahead of Sprangler. Agreed although to be fair Max had a decent game on Saturday. Not sure why we only have 8 subs.

MrBored Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Meh....both teams were pretty poor. Shankland the difference in that he takes that one chance....presented by our experienced central defence. There is something to work with in Benji and Adama showed some nice flick ons although there was never anyone to benefit. Felt quite sorry for Fran and Olufunwa early on as both looked well out of their depth and their inexperienced showed. They did steady up but no surprise to see Sven come on. Didn't think Smith & Max contributed much...our passing still seems very 'safe' and no one looks to make a forward pass....partly because quite a few of them never show as an option to the guy on the ball.
