andrewh Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I got the date right first time this time. Took my dog to the vet hospital in Livingston this morning. Back to pick him up tomorrow. Practice journeys. The Saints to go and try to match Livi physically, suffer 5 injuries, survive an attacking onslaught and score a winner in the 95th minute after Livi’s 92nd minute equaliser.

LiviLion Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 This is a big game for us, lose this and we go to Ibrox on the back of a run of 3 defeats, and then have Celtic at home afterwards. I've been trying to decide if Martindale's "it's not working" comment after the County game was just generally referring to the front 3 not having a natural goalscorer; or if he was referring more to how we set up. Performance was fine and we created enough chances to win a few games so the latter only really becomes believable when you consider that he's spoke about wanting Nouble and Anderson as a front 2, and he might like to test out a back 3 before our OF double header (now with VAR). I like the 4-3-3, I just think we need Anderson or at the very least having Pittman up close to the striker. Don't think Fitzwater was even on the bench for the reserves which hopefully means he's fine for Saturday rather than not ready yet, not sure I'd fancy Kelly again at CB but no idea how fit/ready Boyes or even Cancar are. George Devlin - Obileye - Fitzwater - Montano Holt - Pittman - Se.Kelly Nouble - Anderson - Moyo If possible for me, obviously if Fitzwater and/or Anderson aren't ready for a start you're probably looking at Kelly dropping back in there and probably Shinnie or Stephen Kelly in midfield, and Guthrie in for Anderson. Purely for boredom's sake this is how I'd go for a back 3 if they're all available George Fitzwater - Obileye - Boyes Devlin - Omeonga - Holt - Montano Pittman Nouble - Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Our inability to put the ball in the net after God knows how many glaring chances in our last two games is excruciating to say in the least.Saints are decent and capable of getting a result here.I darent call this,but if Anderson is on from the start which for some unknown reason I sincerely doubt weve a chance of turning our fortunes in front of goal.If not I suspect its gonna be a long day for us.Mon the Lions. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I couldn't be less excited for this game, St Johnstone are a shite team to play against They always seem to grind out a hard game when we play.

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I'm going to have several beers and whiskies pre match to make this a more beerable game to watch, calming my nerves and chilling me the f**k out if Anderson doesn't start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Play like we did on Saturday comfortable win. play like last Wednesday and it’s a drubbing. last season swung on a game v livi at this stage. I’d appreciate if it didn’t go down that route this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably different to when we did it but We arrived at the stadium 2 - 3 hours before kick off. Some refreshments in the board room; tour of the stadium including sitting in the home dugout. Then meet the players and autograph opportunity. Then up to the Ferranti suite before warming up with the team. We also managed to get a few extra complimentary seats for other family members but that was when Dee Robertson was involved. Might have been trimmed down now; the price doesn't seem to have changed much in 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume it's in reference to how long he seems to have been about, especially since he was an absolute nightmare to play against while at Accies (10 years ago!) so he never really seems like a "youth player" in that sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
