Sainthearted Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So, when we account for the 12 injured players, what's the expected lineup?

DC92 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 This could be our last game in Perth for a good while and, looking at St Johnstone's form and injury list, we might never have had a better chance to pick up 3 points. 10 years and 4 days after our last competitive win at McDiarmid, surely now is the time to put an end to that horrific record.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Peculiarly St Johnstone (6) have more points than Hearts(4) from the last 5 games Obviously a reversion to the mean is going to happen sometime 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parish Cleary Gordon McCart Brown Gallacher Butterfield Davidson Crawford May Middleton So back to the 2021 team? Minus Zander. If Callum starts with that we know he really is useless. But excellent at spunking cash up the dressing room walls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 We'll start a half fit Hendry then bemoan our luck when he hobbles off after half an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sainthearted Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) It's been suggested on Twitter that Mahon is injured too, which would mean a total injury list of 13 players (the list below is missing Hendry and Kucheriavyi)...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 There is absolutely nothing more certain than the fact we will, despite overwhelming odds, find a way to make a James Hunt of this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, but we've been pretty shite recently and can't score goals so it probably won't be that much of a shock. No Halliday in the front three please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 If the game is on (which, if you want a prediction, I reckon it probably will be [fears for this storm seem to be being revised downwards and more towards Friday]) this is what I’d go with here from the few players we have left. Parish Cleary Mahon McCartSang Booth Butterfield Gilmour Crawford Bair MiddletonA sad looking team but not sure we could do much better. At the back Gordon needs a game on the bench (make Butterfield or Booth the in-game captain, or Davidson if he plays) as he’s been the poorest of the back 3 for a while and I think Mahon looks a good fit for the middle CB. I would prefer Gilmour to Davidson as more mobile and a better footballer but can see the arguments for Davidson and suspect Callum will go with Muzz (he doesn’t seem to particularly trust Gilmour since the Kelty game? He’s not been great but hasn’t been bad either since he came back.) I don’t think we have a viable alternative to starting Crawford in this shape at the minute even though he’s not in good form.I like the idea of the little and large Bair and Middleton partnership. If Middleton is on the left he should sit wide and try to beat his man to get balls in for Bair. Sang over Brown on the other side so we have a realistic option sitting high up the pitch who can get crosses in. We will need to be primitive and solid here.That’s what I would do: I suspect the manager will start Gordon, Brown, Davidson and May however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I can't see Hearts losing two in a row to the bottom two sides, tbh. Both managers will probably be delighted with a draw so it's a 1-1 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 With the amount of players we have out, I'd be happy with a draw and no further injuries or sending offs, as well as a pumping for McGhee's Marvels at Celtic to lift us above them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I would do: I suspect the manager will start Gordon, Brown, Davidson and May however. Pretty sure Booth's injured and think the returning players are Nadir and MOH. I have no doubt Brown will start as will Gordon and Crawford. Doesn't look like there's enough of that important Davidson trust yet for Bair. I think we'll see something like; Parish Brown Cleary Gordon McCart Gallacher Davidson Butterfield Crawford May Middleton Hoping that he will risk Ciftci though, we have to get time out him, and he was very good at Tynecastle. Our bench will be horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would put pressure on the ref fir this game, but CD isn't built that way. I think a decent result given the injuries etc would be a draw. Would likely lift us off the bottom for now. A win coupled with a county loss would put some pressure on County for next weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
