glenburn bud Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 4 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Stelios who scored your only goal of the game? If he wasn't in the game where were the others? If a (part time) midfield of 5 effectively disables your midfield then I'd suggest they aren't best midfield in the league. It was young Kyle Magennis who scored against Dumbarton and not Stelios. Our team performance on that day was collectively poor. Dumbarton were defensively excellent and gave it their all to stop our midfield playing. When you consider that in December we were bottom place with 4 points and totally detached to where we are now, is down to McGinn Mallan and Magennis operating as a unit and playing superbly well to drag this team into our current position. I can see where Northbank is coming from and can't disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG BEN Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Saturday will be a tough game for both sides but one I'm looking forward too. Could quite easily go tits up but right now, I'm enjoying the football this Saints team is playing. Hopefully we can get the win on Saturday.PS .

And we beat Hibs 'first team' 2-0 only last month. I am not suggesting Saturday's game will be easy but we have possibly the best midfield in the Championship just now in Morgan, Mallan, McGinn and Magennis. 3 having been capped at U21 level (Magennis is only 18 and hasn't featured as yet). And 3 of these lads are under 21 which is always a bonus in pressure games as they do not seem to feel it as much. Over the past 12 games - a third of a season - since we revamped the team, we have been the form team. Most goals scored, best goal difference. Our sticking point at the moment is still defence and keeper since Davis got injured, but we will almost always score goals. Only drawn a blank something like 5 times in all competitions all season, although two of those have been in the last 3 months at home to Dumbarton and Dunfermline in 0-0 draws, so it's possible if Raith sit deep they can frustrate us. Having said that, even if they sit deep we have Mallan's deadball prowess and McKenzie's penchant for a towering header from a corner which could break through that. I expect goals though, and us to score the most of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw is the best result we can hope for I suspect and then hope Hibs do us a favour by beating St Mirren on the last day. There's a fragility about this Rovers team in defence that's frightening. Hope I'm wrong but I think we are pretty much a show in for the play-offs, worse if Ayr sneak something against Hibs That's quite bizarre. At the start of the season you're defence looked utterly solid. What happened? Oh aye, I've changed my mind. Here's hoping for an away win on Saturday............mon the Raith!

NorthBank Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Best midfield in the league [emoji23] You forgot the bit about 'over the last 10 games'. At one point we were 19 points behind Raith, 12 behind Dumbarton and 10 behind Ayr. That was when we had no midfield under Rae. The transformation since we produced a midfield in January has been pretty spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 As an aside, I have to say, these St Mirren match threads have been blissful (relatively speaking) since we pumped Morton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We were the best team in the league from end of Jan transfer window to May last season. And still choked in the big game when it mattered (Hibs playoff) That said, really fear for us on Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be the most preferable situation I think but there's something in my gut saying it won't be that simple. You wind yer neck in and give us peace.
