CamaroSaint Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 This is the first home game of the season I'm missing so expect an epic unforgettable game. Saints to be 0-2 down at HT with FT score of 5-2. 2 red cards and both managers sent to the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 No way Johnston shows enough spirit to get sent to the stands. He's very much in the "stand with the arms crossed" school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 AJ v Ross would be a pretty poor scrap IMO. Ross wouldn't want to get his cardy dirty and AJ would just stand behind Sandy Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All-Star-Par Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 All patter aside our huge slump has ruined what looked like being a decent three/fourway scrap for promotion between some of the somewhat cliched but fairly truthful 'sleeping giants' of the lower leagues which woulda been exciting as f**k for the league and certainly our two teams. Who knows we might claw our way back into it but the way we are playing now this is pretty much a free three points for Saints. Not a massive fan of the new stadium in Paisley but every time I've been the pitch has been superb so hopefully get a decent passing game from both squads. Fucking love winter games under the floodlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Quite like St Mirren's stadium, other than the fact we never seem to win there. The Challenge Cup defeat remains the worst Pars performance I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand at all why anyone would want a winter break when we can take it scenes like this! 37 minutes ago, Poet of the Macabre said: Quite like St Mirren's stadium, other than the fact we never seem to win there.

Would take that tomorrow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 *ahem* I should have said, I never see us win there... Had a wee look and we've played at the new stadium six times. We've won once, drew twice and lost the other three. As mentioned though, we took four points last season and kept two clean sheets. I'd be thrilled with a clean sheet tomorrow tbh.

Black and White Tragic Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'd go for broke on this one.As Higginbotham has been off form I'd put the pressure on him to be the centre of midfield attacking playmaker. He'll either shine or get subbed at half time. But it was about this time last season he came onto a game. Reason for dropping Clark. Keep the strikers keen. If you've not scored by half time you're getting hooked.MurdochWilliamsonMorris AshcroftTalbotAirdWedderburnHigginbothamCardleSmithMcManusPrediction playing this 0-4.

Larbert_Par Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm just looking for an improved performance tomorrow. I wasn't at Tannadice (there's suggestions we did ok there) but since we lost to United in September, our performances have steadily dropped. The confidence of the team has dipped and I can't fathom why it is to the extent that players who you look upon as being reliable are making the most basic of errors in defence, their control of the ball or when passing it. I have no idea whether the team should go baws oot attacking or play a more defensive game and flood the midfield. I want to see some evidence that they've had a look at the Queens game and have worked on things in training to improve individually and collectively. If we do that and can freshen things up in January, I might have a bit of belief again that we can reach the play-offs. But it's going to take a big performance because our form over the last couple of months hasn't been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midweek/winter games seemed to have an atmosphere completely different to Saturday afternoons - Dens, Rugby Park, Somerset, Tynecastle, East End for instance, all looked better at night; amplifying the crowd noise, getting drawn toward the pylon floodlights standing up in the dark sky, the light catching everyone's breath in the cold air... etc etc. (And then back to the pub/supporter's bus after to thaw out.) Character-building, so it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
