No, not at all, would be nice to win though. A draw would likely take us up at least one position in the league (it could even take us into the top six), and we will still have a game in hand (against Dundee) on five of the six other teams in the mid table crush with us. A loss would be quite the bubble burster given how well 2022 has been going, but our points return since the break would still be above expectations. I can see why the Saintees fans see it as must win though, it's hard to see a route to tenth for you unless you win games like this. It will be yet another attritional game which will either be a draw or decided by a mistake or moment of quality, like all our home league games. Every single one of them this season has either been a draw or been decided by one goal, this will surely be no different.

Buttocks Brown Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Daily Record saying that Lyness picked up a knock in training. With Urminsky at Stenny, I'm assuming we'll have a 16 year old sub keeper tonight... EDIT: Just read in the PDE that the club have asked the SFA permission to bring Urminsky back temporarily. I guess we'll find out tonight if that's been granted... if not we'll have to do an emergency loan.

Zamora Fan Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Time running out for St Mirren to ensure Munoz doesn’t owe a charity of my choice a tenner at the end of the season, what with the Buddies dreadful recent form and Saints awe-inspiring upturn in results and performances bound to instigate a charge up the table. It’s a big chance missed for the best Buddies team in 40 years if they can’t find a way to thwart us here, and would really beg the question: will St Mirren ever finish above us again?(Nil-nil, both teams with a man sent off and a combined 3 shots on target all game. Saints banter page to hail “another step in the right erection coys #packrule” and Callum Davidson to say after the game that he’s delighted “the players have given the fans something to cheer about”.

RandomGuy. Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 St Mirren to come from behind to win and Callum Davidson to complain as he thought that was against the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s every single game we’ve played between October and kelty this season. Apart from the ‘moment of quality’ bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Difficult decision who comes into midfield for Saints tonight. Power dominated in the game at McD, and a combination of Butterfield, Crawford and MacPherson doesn’t sound physical enough for the battle. On the other hand, if you bring Murray in you maybe lose the passing through midfield game which we’ve been better at the past couple of games, up to the sending off obviously. A night for Liam Craig ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not going to happen, only last week Comoros had to play an ACON game with an outfield player starting in goal. Closer to home Ryan Stevenson had to play in goal for Ayr v Raith in our great escape season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A night for Liam Craig ?Gilmour! Not as soft as MacPherson, can pass it around better than Murray and more mobile than Craig. He’s not been brilliant but I’d have him in there over the alternatives tonight. If he isn’t injured? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A night for Liam Craig ? I'd say not Murray. Vs Utd, I think the game passed him by a bit and I fear tonight would be the same. I think it will be the Butterfield, Crawford, McPherson combo you mentioned. It's less them being light that worries me, it's that they are all a bit slow on the ball and St Mirren will be right on top of them. CD will be able to see in McPherson whether playing his former team will bring more put in him or be a hindering factor. St Mirren will be our hardest hame post Kelty, so players will need to be up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Does it not get tiring this need to tell everyone how much better everything at St Mirren is? It's certainly tiring to read. Can't even have a discussion about a players strengths/weaknesses.That weakness as you described is not evident, probably a coaching thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a good tussle in the middle of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
