Cagey Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Hopefully an unchanged side. Would imagine County will pack the defence. Hope we don't try to walk the ball in. A few of our guys have a good shot on them so hopefully a few shots from outside the box and a deflection off the many legs in the box. sane_tee 1 Quote
Cagey Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Kettlewell gets February manager of month for 1 win and 5 points in 5 games. Quote
RandomGuy Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Yeah don't see any point changing the defence anymore. Midfield probably picks itself aswell now. Had thought Gullan might benefit from not starting games but next 4 games are so important and we struggled without him v Morton really so you just use him now. Up front you wonder if Paton being more physical than Fowler sways things his way or if he prefers whats Fowler or Lloyd brings. Quote
slf Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Am goin cannae wait is that 5 times we have played them this season now ? Quote
Northern saint Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Hopefully, if he goes the same team he's given McPake and others a rollicking as Lloyd seems to have the ability to find space and was open, through on goal. How many more could we have had if they weren't so selfish? So heavily defended no chance of a goal so pass don't shoot. Quote
sane_tee Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Can't win really. Personally, I get frustrated when they continually pass the ball in the box instead of someone just giving the ball a good old-fashioned leather from anywhere outside the box Quote
henryhallsdanceband Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 We do it ourselves starting tomorrow - we don't expect or hope that someone else will do it for us. Quote
RandomGuy Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Yeah entirely up to ourselves at this late stage. Partick clearly arent going away so theres no point overthinking it. Just make sure you win today and thats another game ticked off without them getting closer, and games are running out. garydavidson 1 Quote
Graeme S Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 From The Courier: St Johnstone will hold a minute’s applause in memory of the fan who died at McDiarmid Park last month. David Paterson passed away outside the stadium after the Saints clash with Ayr United on February 28. Police sealed off an area outside the football ground on Crieff Road shortly after the Perth club’s 3-1 win. A short time later, the club announced the supporter had died aged 65. A minute’s applause will be in his honour during St Johnstone’s match against Ross County on Saturday. A short statement by the club read: “There will be a minute’s applause in minute 65 of tomorrow’s game in memory of Saints supporter David Paterson.“ David sadly passed away following our match against Ayr United on February 28. He was 65. “Family members will be in attendance, and our thoughts remain very much with them.” sane_tee, glenrothes saintee, Farmer Saint and 1 other 4 Quote

We have to let our forward creative players have some freedom! Quote
Cagey Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 If there is any doubt about McPakes fitness I would keep him on the bench and make sure he is fit for next Friday. Randel is likely to crock him anyway. Quote
R.B.B:- Adz Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Fotheringham, Foulds and Lloyd may well feel hard done by. That said, feels like our best 11 football players on the pitch. Quote

R.B.B:- Adz Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 MAKE CHANGES SIMO!!!!! Paton and McPake for Fowler and Fotheringham Quote
Cleveland-Saint Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 comfortable (and critical) win, tight game/not many chances, thought ref was poor in his handling of dirty county, a clear penalty also ignored. End result all that matters, deep bench showing its worth. attendance: 4223 - sounded boisterous ! Quote
rik2304 Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Another three points and a clean sheet. Havana Saint 1 Quote
Cagey Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 First half should have been 4-0. Second half, lucky it wasn't a draw. We scored from a shot from outside box and never tried it again in the game. Should have made subs earlier. Seems to think there are only 11 or 12 players he can trust. Maybe he is right. Quote
MrBored Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 That was tough to watch. Still three points all important. Thought Paton lacked real support and was quiet. McPake was trying too hard....we could do with trying something else a time or two rather than keeping giving it to him almost all the time. For a full back who can score, Smith is really difficult to watch....almost always its a ball back rather keeping on the front foot. dave mc 1 Quote
RandomGuy Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 A tough, tough, game. Almost nothing you can do to be entertaining against a side who are playing 8 men back and just firing endless balls up to their massive striker while wrestling anyone in blue who moves. Staggered we never got a penalty for Paton being clattered as hes about to tap in, even more staggered there was no red card at all. A win all that mattered and thats what we got.

mike_gain Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 Strange match, we really were comfortable and dominated....but still feels a really hard fought win. Ref was all over the place, County lucky to have 11 on the pitch, Stanton took some smack in front of the GB stand. Thought Stanton and Parton were excellent (would love to see Paton play just in front of Fowler). Baird, Diabate and Boyes were good, former 2 gave very little to County's giants very little. Smith was ok too but nearly got us into trouble a couple of times. We played some good stuff but quicker play will be needed on Friday. Was a pleasure seeing Kettlewell absolutely loose it with the ref after his players collapsing legs strategy stopped working. County should have enough to stay up.....but they'll need to be better than that every week. Quote
