Cup holders v cup hopefuls - Saints V Hibs 27/11/21


Recommended Posts

The battle of two low scoring teams that play shite football in front of a storm while both teams have several key players missing. Gonna be a classic.

 

Since Hibs snuck a 1-0 win over us at Easter Road they’ve famously lost all five league games, accumulating double the number of red cards (4) as they have goals (2).

 

We, on the other hand, have taken 5 whole points from our last five games in that period and even managed to score twice in the process. Can’t wait to see what Saturday brings - we will be without May, Middleton, Wotherspoon and Kane (suspended). Are Hibs looking like they’ll miss Boyle and Doidge or is Ross appealing?

 

Our only striker for this one is Eetu Vertainen, but I can still see Callum finding a way to keep him on the bench.

 

Clark

 

Rooney

Brown

Gordon

McCart

Booth

 

Bryson

Davidson

Crawford

 

O’Halloran

Vertainen

 

Team not picked with any particular enthusiasm for any of it as this point tbh. This season has been an arse ache so far.

In normal times I'd suggest you remove E2 and Viv, and bring in MacPherson and Crawford, but I dunno. Feels like change is in the air.

Suspect this will be the team right enough.

Unleash Viv. Pace up the sides and the Unknown Quantity in the middle. Goalfest.

 

 

 

1-0

I like it and would love to see it.

But i will collapse in shock if that's Callum's starting 11 on Saturday!

I honestly think Ettu will start this one. It will be freezing cold, blowing a gale and possibly snowing. He's not been waiting for a Finn to adapt to Scotland, just waiting for the weather to make him feel at home. 

Also think Viv has a good chance of starting as he's a left-sided wide forward and we don't have any of those fit.

Suppose he might go 2 up, but that means Ettu still starts (with MOH) I think. Maybe with McPherson brought into the middle.

We might as well not turn up.

No doubt the pundits will talk about Hibs "patchy form" but that would suggest we have ups as well as downs. The league cup match was a massive outlier in run of relegation form matches.

Add in our missing players and I simply cant see where we score a goal, never mind win the match.

Enjoy the curry pies and 3 points fermers 👍

From the penalty you get when one of our defenders dares to block a shot with his body, presumably.

1-0 St Johnstone seems a stick on here.
Wonder how many league defeats in a row Ross is going to be allowed before Steve Kean sneaks in. 

I suspect the day after the league cup final.
