Valentino Bolognese Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Less than 24hrs to go and no match thread for this six-pointer? First of a double header for Saints that will decide if we're starting 2021 deep in the relegation pit or scraping our fingernails off on the way out. The away team are depleted but some good recent results. The home side still struggling to get the points they think they've deserved and unable to see out a game with 11 players. St Johnstone missing Scott Tanser and Callum Hendry (at least). Probably Danny McNamara's last game, a decent player that no fans will have seen in the flesh. There were 8 goals in the prequal so expect low-scoring disappointment that will give the Sportscene editors a lot of work to get the required 2 minutes of highlights. There's a fair bit of snow on the ground up here but nothing from the club to say the game's in doubt. PPV available for away fans, think it's about £80 quid. Per half. Plus VAT.

PauloPerth Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 A right relegation rumble. No need to go pressing Accies centre backs, leave them on it and let them come forward so we can exploit the space behind. Think it might be a similar line up to the Aberdeen game, with Booth in for Tanser. Wouldn't mind seeing something like this, with Conway and MOH available to make an impact/ get a red card coming off the bench: Clark Rooney Gordon McCart Booth McNamara McCann Davidson Wotherspoon May Melamed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FAT MAN Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Tanser MOH Hendry and one other player reported to be self isolated at home will miss this game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealNumber5 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Anyone any idea who is self isolating? I really hope it’s one player testing positive but being an isolated case and the squad isn’t at risk. We’re thin on the ground as it is and this is two massive games Edited December 29, 2020 by TheRealNumber5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Think this is the first game I'll miss this season, have too see how work is. We need to win. Dont give a single f**k about how it comes. Horrible feeling we won't manage it though. Go 1-0 up in the 93rd minute, Accies shoot from kick off as there's no time left, shot slips through Clarks hands. 1-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOH should be available should be not? Also, he was training with the team today so wouldn't think he was in isolation? Any takers for a back 4 ... Clark Rooney Gordon McCart Booth MOH McCann Craig Wotherspoon Melamed May As mentioned somewhere else, Kerr in the Craig holding role might work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I’d have Kerr back in personally. Think we’ve missed his movement going forward. Could McCart fill in at left back? Yet to be convinced by Booth in all honesty. Muzz and McCann together, although I’ll admit Liam was very good on Saturday. Another big game coming up on Saturday and feel he might be more useful in that game under more pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 If it were my decision I'd tell Kerr and MOH they can self isolate at home as well. Maybe a bit harsh on Jason tbh but Callum needs to stamp his authority on this mob of amateurs. Let's get the team full of committed, disciplined players fighting for each other and the cause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 According to Rice, we'll have none of our injured players back but might have the Covid guys (Callachan, Smith and Thomas) - I think he might be wrong about that though.Saints will have 20 shots* no matter what; the result just depends on whether they take a few. We will have maybe three shots, one inside the box if we're lucky. I'm not exaggerating when I say Accies are struggling to field a lower-end Championship XI at the moment. * And for you, [mention]RandomGuy.[/mention], an xG of over 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 We’ve narrowed it down to our three potential candidates. Actually four, including Elliot Parish as well. Barring any additional injuries, I think we'll be just about fine depth-wise if it's one of those players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamiltons entire gameplan could change overnight if they find out we're missing Ali McCann/David Wotherspoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though to be honest it could well have been a coach or something, have no real idea what Parish looks like 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
