Kyle Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I see we're all buzzing about getting to sit in the freezing cold for zero entertainment again tomorrow. Change the shape. Play to win. No Crawford and no MacPherson. Those are my minimum requirements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 We looked very leggy second half against St Mirren. We really need the three points here. Maynard Brewer Clarke Baldwin Watson Vokins Cancola Paton Hungbo Callachan Charles-Cook Samuel Harsh on Spittal but I think we need legs early and Callachan and RCC have plenty of energy. I'd be tempted to play Tilson with Cancola also to try and get some control in the middle of the park. Samuel deserves another chance imo despite being largely anonymous against St Mirren. This game has 1-1 written all over it imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As largely shite as we are we do have the ability to rinse teams out wide. Whoever you play on the left has to deal with both Clarke and Hungbo which imo is a right hand side good enough for the top 6. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put a couple of your delicious haggis pies in there and dominate. Also is Clarke a definite? I thought he was injured but might have imagined it. Agree with Random that it's the pace on the width that will cause problems, which is one reason I'm sure that the calls for a back 4 won't happen. What will happen though is that our wing-backs will be pinned back so once again we'll struggle with forward momentum. Would love to see us focus a bit more up the left hand side in an attacking sense and I'd not be against Devine starting. Not sure who would play ahead of him though. Viv makes sense but who knows how much football he has in him. Anyway, won't happen. Manger has Crawford and McPherson in permanent marker on the whiteboard so you can have the midfield as an early Christmas gift.

We've been stung by Murray Davidson too many times to take chances here. We had no midfield presence in the second half on Wednesday which is a concern. Clarke was suspended for a very harsh red card against United. He's a gem of a player who'll be playing in the english championship next year I'd imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I dunno about Samuel. He was good for one half and a wasted jersey for the second. the back five picks itself after St. Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deej Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 0-1 Davidson to take Vertainen off / leave him on the bench while Kane runs about in to folk Post match interview to bemoan our lack of finishing while playing attackers out of position and being set up to not concede Dundee fans to appear in here after the game again, even though they don't care about us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke is better than Randall but it feels harsh sticking back on the bench. I did like the look of Vokins, so yeah Clarke and Vokins at full back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Davidson is out with a knock I think. Came off at half time v Dundee. Manager calling certain players shitebags... I’d say half the side are clearly looking for their next move without thinking about if those sides dangling PCA’s will be interested if they’re underperforming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akuram Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Tomorrow we need Liam Craig on the team sheet first and then build the team round him. He always gives 100%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about that tbh. McCarts struggled more this season but the whole defence has as they get less protection from the midfield. Rooneys looked injured since he went over his ankle at McDiarmid earlier this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty-RCFC Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Interesting seeing all this chat from Saints fans of how soft they are in midfield. Every single St Johnstone side I ever remember County playing against has ran us over in the middle of the park and any success we have had has come out wide. We’re pretty soft centred in the middle of the park too though. f**k knows how anyone’s going to take control of the middle of the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I've got a gut feel that Saints are going to do something totally unexpected here and score more than a couple of goals. Nothing in the last few months to suggest this would be the case, but I just think maybe the Dundee game and the home truths afterwards will be the wake up call the team will need. I think CD will start with two out and out strikers in the team and MOH are right wing back to add the width. Also think this will probably be the lowest or one of the lowest crowds we will see this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
