djchapsticks Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just now, sergie's no1 fan said: Got to feel for Obika who has played up on his own for so long but Erwin looked much better when Brophy came on last week. I am always wary of the 4-4-2. Just because we have 2 strikers it doesn't automatically mean we will be more attacking. Republic Of Ireland always played 2 strikers yet they were one of the most terrible sides to watch. Remember we have to fit McGrath into the team somewhere. All that matters is the 3 points though. Obika will get his shout. Not sure how fit he is, remember this time last week our twitter went into meltdown with everyone guaranteeing his absence meant he was gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be the favourite for the red card this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Big afternoon for Bryson. Other than a sound debut against United, he hasn't shown much in a Saints shirt. To be picked ahead of two guys with over 300 games for the club - who as a result you know what you'll get from them - is a notable call. Also a big opportunity for Shaun Rooney in his natural role for the first time in the Premiership. Needs to show both sides to his game today, good deliveries when he gets forward but make it hard for his opposite number defensively. You can be confident enough that we'll maybe play well in games but that is absolutely no guarantee of a result, as the season has shown. The goalkeeper not chucking one in would be a help too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench: ... Craig, Davidson... Maybe Davidson and Craig haven't recovered enough from Tuesday night. To be fair, with Bryson, McCann and Spoony in centre mid, it's as good a ball playing centre midfield as Saints can field. The big concern is that no one in there is as disciplined at sitting in and protecting the defence as Liam Craig tends to be. We should have a man advantage in the centre of the park if they've gone 4-4-2, so lets dominate in there from the start. Just as long as we're not about to do something stupid like push Wotherspoon forward and wide and revert back to the 5-2-3. If it's right enough that the mirrens have gone for an attacking set up as well then it might be a far more open game than we usually get between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is key. All season we've struggled at home against teams who've sat deep against us, while away we've caused bother to every single club when they've opened up. If St Mirren have gone for the second option it might just work out better for us than it has been so far. We'll still need strikers to score/keepers to save, which is where we'll probably fall down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think ours might be more of a 4-3-3 to be honest, with Connolly and Brophy off Erwin. Not sure about it to be honest, we've not been that solid recently, especially from crosses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much between him and Erhahon, and Ethan has been a wee bit off the boil last couple of weeks. Anyway, last time we went to Perth with what looked like a very attacking team and we barely got out of our own half, so hoping this is a bit better thought out than that was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Started well. Age old problem so far though of not getting onto the decent balls into the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 How many crosses on a plate are we going to let go past without a striker going for it?! Weve complained all season about dithering too long out wide and poor quality of cross. So far they've been good quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
