staggy1929 459 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Well thank goodness we have this to look forward to after another international break, St Mirren have looked fairly decent since the appointment of Goodwin and will be no push overs. Our seemingly never ending injury crisis may limit us in terms of what style we'd like to play. I think we'll probably line up like this: Laidlaw Fraser Morris Watson Foster Mullin Henderson Grivosti Gardyne McKay Stewart Very inexperienced midfield 2 but they both have some serious potential. St Mirren will be dangerous and have some good attacking options. I'll go for a cagey 1-0 win with Mullin scoring. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comrie 1,095 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 4-4-2 might work with Grivosti and Henderson, wouldn't be hugely surprised if we revert to the 4-3-3/4-5-1 that we used for most of last season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we've been long overdue a change back to the 4-5-1 especially if Vigurs is starting. I really like the idea of Vigurs, Grivosti and Henderson in a midfield 3 actually. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sergie's no1 fan 3,808 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 We performed very well against Hibs, Aberdeen and Rangers. However our first half performance against Livi was honking as was the result.We should be looking to take points away from home from the likes of Livi, Accies, County if we don't want to be involved in the relegation scrap.A draw wouldn't be the worst result but I am greedy. Really don't know what to expect from County. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We look like we could blow sides away and then the following week look spineless and disorganised. It will be interesting to say the least. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munoz 1,203 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 This will be my first league game missed ,so no doubt we'll put in a cracking performance with some amazing goals thrown in for good measure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demented Zebra 426 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 We have only one good result against Aberdeen. The rest of the performances are irrelevant we lost. Livie could have scored 4 or 5 goals they created clear cut chances to our huff and puff very little offered up front.. The out come will be intresting if St Mirren lose then it will be another hard slog of a season the first half at Livie shows we can be utter shit. The second half showed more fight but the bottom line is we lost 3 points. Kirk Broadfoot is a welcome addition. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqy 55 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Debating whether to go to this one or not, seeing as my name's down for the Pollok bus to Forres Thistle. Not expecting anything from the game the way we've been over the last few weeks, but kinda intrigued by a possible Grivo/Hendo/Vi.....go(?) midfield three. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lex 2,425 Report post Posted September 9, 2019 Dear Mr Doncaster, there are too many Glasgow teams in the Premiership nowadays. Please eliminate Saint Mirren. I am not a crackpot.Of course eliminating us would not reduce the amount of Glasgow teams in the Premiership... There is certainly one too many highland teams in this league though. As with all away games I would take a point going into it, a loss would be a sore one after the Livi disappointment. But Livi beat us 2-1 and they beat Ross County 4-1. Therefore that means we will win.. 2-1..? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gives teams something to build on, results do matter more though. We put in much better performances than we were expecting because the dross we produced in the league cup. I'd rather we played crap and won than play out of our skin and lose but football isn't like that. We can't afford to play like we did in the first half against Livi.Forgot all about big Ross Stewart. Will he come back to haunt us? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ross Stewart can be a nightmare for centre backs on his day, he has a surprising burst of pace and likes to drop deep and spin off into channels. Also he's 8 foot tall so quite handy in the air too. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always felt he should have been kept in Paisley a work in progress if you like his best years are still to come. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the last three players we've got that have come through St. Mirren at some point have been Naismith, Stewart and Sean Kelly. Two out of three ain't bad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sums up Stubbs' reign punt a promising young player out and don't replace him.I'm really looking forward to the game. Get a few pints in Inverness before hand then maybe one or two in the Mallard.
