He's scored 2 and missed 2 but wasn't on the pitch against Hibs so don't know if he's still our pen taker. Previously Obileye and Holt have taken them but also missed then Kelly took over. Apparently Kelly is the best in training so maybe it's a pressure thing when it counts in a live game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The weather will be shite. There will be at least 2 penalties. There will be at least one red card. Given our stinking away form, I would be happy for a draw here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd keep us scoring a penalty off your bet builder, will probably be taken by a defender and hit the back of the net in the SMiSA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomFarter Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) It'll surely be the usual 5-3-2 for St Mirren and probably an unchanged line up from the last match. Main and Ayunga are a pair of livewires, both defensively - Ayunga's pressing of Stewart against Aberdeen turned that match, and in attack - Main's later penalty win was impressive. Ayunga probably the more talented on the ball of the two and the slightly bigger threat. Good controlling centre mid in Erhahon, O'Hara and Baccus play box to box roles either side, Baccus is excellent and his bursts from deep are a goal threat. Tanser's crossing can be a danger. St Mirren have 3 centre backs, 3 centre mids and 2 centre forwards. So you don't try to build up through the centre of the pitch, you go down the sides. If Nouble is fit, Martindale will go 4-3-3 trying to get the full backs combining with the wingers. If Nouble isn't fit we might instead see a 4-3-2-1. This has the centre mid on each side combining with their full back. I really want to see Omeonga play as we maintain possession better with him and long ball is not going to work against St Mirren's set up. Montaño and Devlin at full back will be important. Likewise Anderson and Bahamboula in attack. Probably a bit of a nullifying tactical battle initially but with potential to later open up a lot if one team has a lead.

I get the impression Anderson is a fair way down the list of penalty takers. Sean Kelly seems to be the main taker with Holt and Obileye behind him. Fitzwater taking a penalty against Hibs was a strange one. I'd imagine Shinnie and Stephen Kelly are higher on the list than Anderson too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to have your striker taking penalties unless there's a genuine specialist elsewhere in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If Nouble plays, we win this pretty handily. Gallagher doesn't have it in him to cope with Nouble. He's best using his physical advantage to offput and bully forwards, he can't do that to Nouble. If Nouble doesn't play I can see Gallagher eating Bahamboula for breakfast on that side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nouble doesn't play I can see Gallagher eating Bahamboula for breakfast on that side I think Gallagher has been playing in the centre with Fraser to his right and Dunne to his left. You're right, though, that if fit Nouble can wreck havoc no matter who his direct opponent is. I think Bahamboula could get some joy against Dunne and Tanser on St Mirren's left, maybe the slightly weaker side to their defence (though still strong). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I've ignored all your advice. Kelly to score any time, Livi to win or draw, less than four goals, Baccus and Erhahon to get booked. 50p at ~70/1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttocks Brown Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Unchanged for us. Nouble still out for Livi with Fitzwater joining him on the sidelines. Boyes in at centre-half for his first start of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony mac Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Not expecting much from that Livi team, a midfield containing Shinnie and Sean Kelly does not inspire confidence.I know we have a lot of games over a short time,but this is a must win game therefore play your best team and Shinnie should be nowhere neat that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreedomFarter Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Do the Twitter line ups get ordered by player position? If so, that suggests Sean Kelly at left back. We'll find out in under an hour's time anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kempes Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just seen the teams and I’m thinking that Coventry Saint might not be winning his bet. I’m sure he’d much rather we came away with the three points though. It’s now or never! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a few sub appearances but this will be a test for him up against Ayunga and Main. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
