PauloPerth Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Big game. A st mirren win sees our outside hopes of top six disappear. A St Johnstone win and we’re within 3 points of them. A draw wouldn’t be a huge shock. Imagine it’ll be a bit of a tight hard fought affair with few chances. st Mirren have brought a good support to McDiarmid the past couple of seasons. Would be good if we went back to putting away crowds in the north stand so there’s a bit of banter between the two supports as at Tannadice last weekend. But I imagine the massive security risk of a Saint v Buddies match rules that option out… Edited February 24, 2023 by PauloPerth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Always a fixture I dread. St.Johnstone with a honking home record, St.Mirren with a honking away record. A marvellous combination. Our win at McDiarmid towards the end of last season was the only time we've even managed to score a goal in Perth in any of our last 9 visits and I still have nightmares about the 3-0 scudding we took there in September. Hoping that either Baccus and/or Gogic might be back in contention for us, yet to hear what the script is with big Dec. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always think of these as fairly close with the exception of that 3-0 you mention and a 2-0 going on 6 in 2018 when your keeper played a blinder and we missed two penalties. Tanser, Shaughnessy and Watt all started for us that day. A good bet is Tony Watt to score anytime. He’s scored against us for Celtic, Motherwell and Dundee United so it feels inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard that our manager has noticed that we have better results away from home? Two teams playing like they’re the away team. This is shaping up to be a really entertaining game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could certainly do with Gogic or/and Baccus back. Even although the midfield did well on Saturday those two out really cut down our options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shags will come in for him and I guess Murray Campbell will be the central defensive option from the bench. Middle of the park is indeed a dilemma. Would be harsh to drop Flynn after that display on Saturday and I always feel we look more dangerous with Kiltie in the team. But............ Whilst Gogic was a shambles at Fir Park, this is exactly his sort of game, and you'd always find room for Baccus. Guess at least if both are back as you say then it drastically improves our options off the bench either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record pretty much sucks at every away ground. Any of our rivals see us coming and think ‘shite, St Mirren always scud us at home’. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Don't fancy us for this one at all. The prospect of St Johnstone reeling us in a-fucking-gain making me feel slightly sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as most of this forum tipped them to finish 12th, iirc. If we can perform like we did at Tynecastle and Parkhead, we could have a chance, but we won't show up in Perth, same way we didn't show up at Fir Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his reaction it looked very serious. Ligament hope it's not snapped or he will be out for months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dropping that in for the Aberdeen fans that we all know are still crawling round our matchday threads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 A bit strange that there's been no mention of Dec Gallagher's injury on the Official site. It looked serious at the time and I would imagine a consultation with a specialist will be needed this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Saturday was a bit of a surprise considering the shocking performance at Motherwell a few days before; half the squad injured and a bench of untried teenagers. However we blew RC away and should have won that by considerably more goals. Injury list is still horrendous and getting worse with Dec and Tanser taken off on Sat but one or two others may come back into contention. on the bench if not starting. Hard game but surely we have to start winning Away sometime? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont change our approach based on our opponents, so your injury list is fairly irrelevant. Managers spoken about wanting to replicate our more cautious approach in away games in home games so we'd be destined to sitting back and trying to counter whoever we faced i fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
