PauloPerth Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Saints are often poor after an international break, but aren't usually as woeful in a match preceding the break as they were at Pittodrie, so who knows what we'll get here.. The teams are joint third, but with Motherwell and Hibs getting a bit of momentum going, there's not much breathing space from the teams below. Saints will obviously be without O'Halloran, and the team will lack pace, but Rangers have been inconsistent this season so far. Things I would like to see from Saints: - solid in defence like we used to be - play with purpose and intensity for the full game, and not just half an hour or when we fall behind - keep possession better and not just an evening of hoofs up the park. - play Scougall central Mannus Foster Anderson Shaughnessy Easton Thomson Millar Davidson Wotherspoon Scougall Maclean (Thomson in Unless Alston is fit enough to start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Get Craig Thomson to f**k out of there, PauloPerth. We'll probably line up 4-4-2 in this with Davidson and Paton in the middle, Craig on the left and either Scougall or Wotherspoon on the right. Not what I would do, but suspect that's where Tommy's mind will wander. Not confidence about this. We certainly need a better performance than we've had recently if we're going to get anything from this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 No O'Halloran so we'll have no pace on the counter. We utterly shit the bed agaisnt Rangers due to having a massive *** as a boss.A fairly predictable 3-1 defeat with us camped inside our own box for the majority, going two down, opening up as we chase a goal and looking far better, getting a goal, coming close and then conceding a late counter.A story we often see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 MannusFoster/Comrie Shaughnessey Anderson EastonMillar DavidsonWotherspoon Scougall CraigMacLean Strangely enough I've omitted Paton somehow despite thinking he's probably been one of our better players. I loathed to play Craig cause he's pish these days, but we don't really have any other options unless Alston is back and we switch him and Spoony then I'd be happy enough. I guess another option if Foster is available is to play him at right midfield, Comrie at right back and Spoony wide left again, which thinking about it is probably a better option than Craig playing!

Onto the game... we'll get pumped. Get Liam Gordon in for bombscare Ando and we might have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly need a better performance than we've had recently if we're going to get anything from this game. I struggled to think of anyone else to play there if Alston's still out. I thought about Widge's option of Foster to the right of a 4 man midfield but quickly dismissed it as he's been awful. Possibly bringing in Liam Craig to the left of the 3 in the 4-2-3-1 in place of Thomson, but he's slow. Tanser is overall pretty weak other than having a great cross, and would be steamrollered by their midfield. No, I'm sticking with it. This is the night Craig Thomson finally comes of age. Live on tv. A virtuoso performance which brings in a £5m January bid from Walsall. Bookmark this.... Spoiler Please don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramagamma Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Will be a tricky game against the ibrox scum without o halloran. Really hopeful for this one given it's a friday night tv game.

PauloPerth Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Apparently Rangers tickets have sold out. Means that only season ticket holders or those with a voucher given out at the last home game will be able to buy tickets for the Saints end. Can't wait for another 90 minutes of 5000 old firm fans singing their shite at the 2500 Saints fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to care tbh, can't get through on the phone and no chance I get to the ground while it's open. Went three hours before kick off last time, to a ticket office where a relative works, and got told I wasn't allowed into the stadium.Absolutely no idea how we don't have a database of supporters and a facility for them to buy tickets online.

7-2 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 There would be no need for this ludicrous situation if Police Scotland, the stewarding company and the club just did their jobs properly. There's never a hope in hell of that happening where either of the bigots are concerned though. Too scared to stand up to the b*****ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. And it's been mentioned every all ticket game for at least the past 3 years. However, I'm a ST holder and when I bought it they took my email address and said it was to send me the manager's email to the fans every few weeks. The person in the ticket office laughed though, and said "You might not receive it, as a lot of people don't seem to. No idea why." I haven't received a single one. So if we can't even set up a database to email season ticket holders, I think a database of our entire support might be asking a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tommy will go 4-1-4-1 for this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
