TheBigCheese Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Daal in for Stewart. Mini-me from Austin Powers in for Andy Lawrie - he'd have more chance of winning a header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryangordon86 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'd like to see us try Davie up front instead of Stewart and Mcluskey out on the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintSam1884 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Nah, Weatherston is just so good on the right, so good. I think Peaso and Daal upfront with Weatherston storming forward will be a real winning combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairSaint Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think we will win quite comfortably, but after saturdays shocking defensive display, i wouldnt put it past the binos scoring at least 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think we will win quite comfortably, but after saturdays shocking defensive display, i wouldnt put it past the binos scoring at least 1. And Derek Lilley getting it no doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairSaint Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Aye wouldn't be surprised to be fair. I heard past sainty Ross Foryth is injured which may help us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-Mo Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 If John Paul McBride manages to get a game, that'll help us even more! Will be a totally different performance to last week, have to be really confident about every home game this season. Daal for Stewart would be the only change for me, but I think Owen Coyle will stick with the same team, Stewart had a far better pre-season than Daal, and with the extra space at McDiarmid he could have more joy running in behind the defence. Really hope the defence deal with Lilley to restore a bit of confidence after the way O'Connor won everything in the air last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 On paper, the easiest league game we will play. Nothing other than a convincing scoreline will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 first game of the season so i hope it goes the right way sice im getting a lift up from my albion loving mate! was not there last week and not managed any pre season so will need to see what happens with the team to make any judgement mon the saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I had to cancel last week at QOS due to severe financial constraints, so if anyones up for lending me a bit of cash for the game ill gladly supply my account no and sortcode..... other then that, this should be a convincing win, and I think Daal should come back into the fold. As bad as he is in the air, he's still a big boy and puts defenders off so give him the oppurtunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I would love to see moore running down the wing again like in the old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangordon86 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Nah, Weatherston is just so good on the right, so good. I think Peaso and Daal upfront with Weatherston storming forward will be a real winning combination. I dont rate Daal, he has a God awful touch and he looks so clumsy he could almost be playing on Stilts! I'd like to see us accommodation wee Jamie in the team, its a shame that the 2 players who seem to be most creative are vying for the same position at the moment!

SaintSam1884 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 How can you "not rate" someone you've barely seen? Give the guy a chance. He showed some good touches at Queens on Saturday and looked more dangerous in his short spell on the field than Stewart had done all day. Daal and Peaso is going to be the way forward.

Barty1884 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I would want the team to line up: -------------CUTHBERT------------ ando----McManus---James----Goran McCluskey--MMM----McInnes--Sheerin --------Peaso---------Weatherston but i can't see past -------------main------------ lawrie---mcmanus----james----goran weatherston--mmm----mcinnes---sheerin --------peaso-------stewart------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I would like to see McCluskey get a chance on the right wing. Weatherston has looked excellent but didnt train most of last week due to an injury. If he hasnt trained again this week he should be given a chance to rest and recover so would drop him down to the bench for this one and give McCluskey his chance.

Hazel1884 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Anderson is suspended is he not? Can't really see the line up changing from last Saturday unless due to injuries occured this week. Possibly Daal in for Stewart. Hope for a win, and see what happens. Not much to add on to what has been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1884 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 James and Stewart have not trained all week so may be doubtful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 James and Stewart have not trained all week so may be doubtful? Looks like Simon's absence is going to be felt early in the campaign. This is exactly the sort of situation where he proved invaluable. If James doesn't make it, we're in trouble with our only recognised defenders being Lawrie, McManus, Stanic and Dyer! I hope if Stewart hasn't trained up to today that Coyle goes with Daal. Official site is reporting there is no positive news on the signing front but we could really do with an extra defender before the weekend. All of a sudden, the thought that we could have had Andy Tod for a month doesn't seem so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I think StirlingAlbion and Morton are great additions to the league beause they are offensive and are not frightened to have a go. Livi were the only team not to score last weekend and there were plenty goals. It'll be good to see Albion again. Seen them a few times and I was once at a friendly game in the 70's between Stirling Albion and Liverpool given the title "The Battle of The Shanklys" (Bob and Bill). I'm surprised as a club they've never done a Saints, Ayr (70's) or an ICT in their time because they are very central and can pull from all around. Is this continuous bad board level management or partly the negative old firm factor again? Conversation for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Looks like Simon's absence is going to be felt early in the campaign. This is exactly the sort of situation where he proved invaluable.. He was a solid consistent player for us and did a lot of work and his positional play was top quality. Who knows there's still time in the transfer market though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
