Having him and Safranko running directly at the back three might have more of an impact. I can see that point, but McMullan was still influential out on the right in the first half despite that. My concern after tonight is that if we put him up front then we have no one capable of offering a decent supply to the forwards. Pawlett, while providing decent defensive cover, did nothing going forward tonight. Harkes and Bouhenna didn't offer much there either, even before Connolly and Reynolds decided to bypass them and resorted to hoofing the ball forward for almost the entire second half. That's why I was really on board with the Stanton sub tonight. An extra body in midfield, capable of moving forward with the ball, should have encouraged us against going for aimless, hopeful long punts. Unfortunately it didn't pay off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I wouldn't bet on it, they've managed to not lose a couple of games and somehow everyones decided they're on the up. They've not won a match against 11 men since mid-March, I believe.Good point however, as you would say, ‘worth mentioning’ that all those teams started with 11 men on the pitch and each managed to have a man sent off while stopping a St Mirren attack. 2 rotten teams played tonight. Don’t understand why Kearney waited until 89th minute to make a sub with both Cooke & McAllister blowing out their arses much earlier. United are just as crap as Saints. Whoever is in the Premiership next season will most likely be involved in this fixture this time next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Win one game of football against that St Mirren team to go up? I'll take it. Pretty even but absolutely nothing to fear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth mentioning that the attack against Livi was very fortunate in that one of your players was playing a short pass square across the field and Lawson tried to cut it out but managed to play a perfect through ball; your attacker then never had it under control before being brought down by Halkett. But I’m not bitter Clearly, I have no place in this thread (this season at least) but I did spend money at the pub and feel like I deserved a better game.

He actually looked lazy, he was so badly out of position it was unbelievable. I've never seen so many fouls go against one player without a booking as happened with Connolly (who looked rotten, I thought). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my pal discussed that should be a rule . there is a reasonable amount of skill to get it off the park by two consecutive players without it touching the ground, That should mean its a by kick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy boo Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 First time on here for 30 odd pages and can't be arsed catching up. Did I miss anything? I'd have taken a draw in first game obviously and hopefully we can do the business on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Safranko will start on the left on Sunday instead of Pawlett. Sow and Clarke up front for the first half and then Safranko will move up top when United will inevitably be chasing the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
