Coventry Saint Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 7 hours ago, Ric said: For me, on the right Connolly keeps his place, if McAllister plays Connolly could find himself on either wing. No Mason (or Morias, for that matter) will mean Durmus playing. The three in the midfield; Erhahon, JDH and McGrath are all good players but haven't really played that well over the last couple of games. Do we swap one or more of them out and replace them with a MacPherson or even Foley? If we go two up front, I think McGrath will keep his place at the expense of one of the proper wingers and will play out wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy was getting rave reviews on here last night. Will he start again? Is he fit enough? He looked tired when he (eventually) came off but put in a right good shift for an hour or so. It was refreshing to see a St Johnstone forward look so confident and dangerous. Will be disappointed if he doesn't start again on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melamed, Kane, and Wotherspoon were ripping the pish almost every time they got the ball near United defence. Suspect all three will spend this match falling over the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Team selection all important on Saturday. The defence picks itself so no issues there. Ethan looks well off the boil and needs a break. I'd bring in Cammy to give us more bite and energy in the middle of the park. McAllister has to be dropped with Durmus and Connolly starting. McGrath is an automatic pick. Expect Brophy to start up front as a lone striker. We have Erwin to come on late in the game if needed. Erwin had a decent second half on Saturday (like the rest of the team). Interesting in Jim's post match interview he praised Erwin in particular as Lee had suffered badly from Covid in October and had been struggling with its after effects since. Hopefully he is now well on his road to full recovery and his performances improve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 What we do depends on whether we have Kerr back. If he’s available I’d have a slight reshuffle that might just balance things up a bit again. Clark Kerr Gordon McCart Rooney McCann Davidson/Craig Tanser Wotherspoon Melamed Kane If Kerr isn’t fit then I would imagine we’ll be on similar lines to last night. We were far more dangerous at Tannadice than we have been recently. We’ve had games where we’ve had 20+ shots with only one or two of those being if any real danger. Last night was different - aside from the goals we had four or five moments where we really should have done better or were denied by a good block/save. We need that to become a far more regular feature of our attacking play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in Erwin when he knew there was someone running beyond him was like night and day. And yes, I think we'll definitely go with one up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need that to become a far more regular feature of our attacking play. I think you go with Craig over Davidson currently, as Murray seems more likely to commit silly fouls and get booked early on. Only real positive to Davidson is his height in the midfield, but I don't think St Mirren are going to play with big guys, unless Foley comes back in, so that shouldn't be an issue. We need to get Rooney out wide rather than in the middle as soon as possible, as he's a threat going forward, but defensively a little lax for centreback. It was good to see him charging past McCann last night though, he's a threat no doubt about it. Goes past a player pretty easily as well which is nice to see. Got to go with the same front 3 though, both strikers scored and Spoony set up both goals, none of them deserve to get dropped. Gives us May to bring off the bench as a great option for either to freshen things up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 5-2-3 has worked brilliantly for us at home so fully expect us to revert back to that. Melamed on the bench, not sure can trust him yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it a bit different more Motherwell in the first half in particular cut off Ethan and Hay's from spraying passes stopping our play makers. Both Ethan and Cammy are talents that have big futures in the game. Cammy should get the nod this week he has been good when given the nod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he has the technique and nous to capitalise when he does manage to barrel his way to the edge of the box or the byline. I guess we'll find out when he gets a run in that position. He's impressive when in full flow, certainly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I remember seeing it was St Johnstone fans taking great glee in calling St Mirren fans 'Saintees'. Not attempting to wind you up, just telling you my recollection. I'd never ever heard of St Mirren being called that until seeing it on here a couple of years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too dated. I'd imagine most Saints fans won't give two fucks about that tackle or Andy Millen now. I actually find it quite amusing. Was that the game that Broadfoot was showboating and standing on the ball? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
