Even the cheaper tickets are £40 & £25 which is a significant jump from the semi finals (£30 & £15). Mum, Dad & 2 kids £40 more expensive. Pretty brutal.....

Dont see us beating Aberdeen 3 on the bounce with back to back wins up there. Would take a draw right now. That said, Thelin is under serious pressure right now so you never know. Be nice to see a reaction and a positive performance at least.

Absolutely. Slattery should have been hooked at 60 minutes on Wednesday in preparation for starting yesterday. Just didnt play at all and could easily have managed 30 minutes. Maswanhise was also absolutely burst with 20 to go on Wednesday and was invisible yesterday. To be fair, I do think the injuries to SOD and potentially Welsh on Wednesday night altered the gameplan for subs, but it definitely felt like there were different decisions that could have been made then, that look even worse now.

Longelo was very frustrating yesterday. Never went by his man once. I did wonder whether he wasnt 100% fit or if he had been instructed not to leave any spaces in behind him (albeit that would seem to fly in the face of how we play). Similarly Maswanhise was very disappointing. He is such a frustrating player at times. Capable of lighting up a game and scoring from nowhere, but an empty jersey the rest of the time. I felt there were too many of our players just not at their level yesterday and wonder whether the exertions of Wednesday night took too much out of them. It does raise more questions of JBAs game management on Wednesday night now that we have seen yesterday play out.

One positive from today, a crowd of 21,377 is a great effort from 2 supposed diddy teams. Shame we couldnt put on a show to encourage more of our lot to come back.

Nil vote.

Deleted. Wrong thread.

Really disappointing today. Didnt turn up first half and although St Mirren didnt cut us open we gifted them 2 goals and its a long way back from there. Second half we were better, but once again poor decisions in the final third cost us. Stama was very poor today and Im ready to accept Hendry should be starting until we can get someone better in. Maswanhise, Said and Longelo all seemed well off it today as well, although by no means the only ones. I thought once we got the goal we might get back into it, but instead we lost all discipline and composure and on the wrong end of a bad scoreline. You could argue that the starting line up was wrong, but none of us know what the injury/fitness levels of various players are/were, and I didnt have any real arguments with the lineup beforehand. We certainly improved with Welsh, Slattery and Hendry on the pitch, but could they have started/lasted 60 minutes? Just really disappointing to shit the nest in such an important game. Will take a few days to lick the wounds of this one.

Enjoy tomorrow folks. Keep the Faith! See you on the other side! Up The 'Well! 🧡❤️🧡

Didnt he have some sort of relapse? I seem to recall he was back training and expected to be available soon, and then he was gone again. Think there was some talk of "a player" having to go see a specialist but it was round about the same time Nicholson got injured again and there wasnt any clarity given by the club.

To be fair, it was a very real prospect. Losing to Livvy on plastic wouldnt have been the surprise of the century. All the more pleasing we posted back to back wins and are sitting joint 4th going into our 2nd cup semi final in just over 12 months!

I know its what happens on the day that counts, and I do expect this to be a very close game. However, St Mirren have only scored 8 goals this season (2 of them last night) which is half our number. They have conceded 12. 1 less than us. Statistically, there are reasons to feel positive going into the game. It will be interesting to see what Robinson does after him saying they gave us "too much respect" in Paisley. If they press high, I think we can get a lot of joy on the counter. If they sit off, then they could be a lot more difficult to break down.

He is a minimum 7/10 every week. Mr Consistency.

Didnt think he appeared to be running fine at any point last night. Thats the poorest Ive seen him. To be fair, their centre half was an absolute monster, so wasnt a particularly fair fight. But Hendry did much better against him.

As someone who has defended Stama on here quite considerably, I felt the drop off after Hendry went off was quite significant. Not sure what was wrong with Stama tonight, but he was second to every ball and ended up going off injured. Beginning to suspect he is made of glass......
