For some reason my tablet can't do multi quote so I end up doing about 3 posts in a row - usually because I haven't checked a thread in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The worst bit about the game being tomorrow is that I can't really relax and enjoy my Saturday. Still very much a case of anything can happen and I'm still no closer to either being totally confident or incredibly pessimistic (I swing between the two fairly randomly). My team for tomorrow is pretty straightforward until I start thinking about our attacking options. For me Siegrist, Watson, Reynolds, Connolly, Harkes, Bouhenna, Robson, McMullan and Safranko are all stick ons but what to do with Booth, Sow, Clark and Pawlett I'm still struggling with (glad it is Neilson's problem and not mine). Based on ability it should be the case that Pawlett starts but his form and fitness have been poor. I haven't lost hope with Sow and think he can offer something different but again his form and fitness haven't been great. I like the balance that Booth and Robson offer us down the left but neither are particularly brilliant. Finally, Clark is our best natural finisher but he doesn't offer much on the ball. I think we all know that Neilson will initially start with a system that has the objective of "not lose" rather than going for it so it will all be down to how we can cope defensively and soak up pressure. If we are playing on the break then Safranko, Clark, McMullan and potentially Pawlett should be our forward four. Again Pawlett hasn't been great but over 20 yards he has a powerful burst of pace that could work well if we indeed sit deep and aim play on the break. I think it was mentioned here earlier (or maybe on Twitter) but I am not actually as worried about St.Mirren (I think both teams are fairly even). I am more worried about us and our frailties over the past few seasons. Moments of madness, a sudden collapse and an overly defensive style have been just some of the letdowns since we've been in the Championship and that is my biggest fear for tomorrow, that a mixture of all of these will suddenly re-appear at the worst possible time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 21 hours ago, Estragon said: It's more of a process Sandy. One that's not going to be aided by Dundee United coming back. At present, west coast represented by (in order of importance) - Kilmarnock, Motherwell, St Mirren, #officialrosscountyfc, Hamilton Accies, Celtic, and one other. So 7/12 = 58.3% If ICT and Partick Thistle can get their act together next season and replace St Johnstone and relegation-mainstays Hibernian, we'll be up to 75%. Step in the right direction. Ross County and ICT are Highland teams and are not geographically east or west so that changes the percentage. Fort William however are geographically located on the west coast but I doubt they will make it out of the HL to the PL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many he would have scored if he had been played as a striker (which he is) as opposed to a midfielder ) which he isn’t). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m being honest, I think there’s a reason he’s never got a shot at premiership football and it’s not because he’s been played out of position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Since the Jan window Oran has given us a team who not only give their all, and never know when they are beat, he’s also created a siege mentality where we fear no team at home. Our record in the last Quarter backs that up. Only Celtic have won at our place. Bring it fucken on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
