MelvinBragg 803 Report post Posted September 26 Midfield to front, I wouldn't change it. Created chances against Ross County albeit we didn't take as many as we should have. Would very much like to see Semple on the bench. Signing of O'Hara has pushed him down the pecking order even if they're not totally similar in style. To me, not having seen enough of Sloth, Semple looks the best direct replacement for Polworth late in the game. At the back, sending Livingstone out on loan, Carroll being suspended and Dunne being injured means that everyone knows exactly what our back four will be. Positive in that we have all week to work on it. Negative in that Tommy Wright and St Johnstone have all week to work out how they try and take advantage of it. Don't think there will be much in the game. Gut tells me that we'll lose by the odd goal, another 2-1 probably... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kmcalpin 877 Report post Posted September 27 A tough one to call. St Johnstone haven't hade the best of starts to the season so far as they are without a league win. That said, they've had a tough run of fixtures. They're usually well organised, hard working, combative and streetwise and I doubt if that'll change tomorrow. Their defence though has been a bit suspect especially when they open up. Add to that our recent record on the road at Perth is pretty poor. Tom Wright watched us in person last week and will be well aware our shortcomings. Our squad is perhaps more suited to counter attacking, so you'd hope that our style is compatible with this fixture. Right now our biggest weakness is in defence. I'm not convinced of either of our likely full backs defensively and that'll place unnecessary and unwanted pressure on our central defence and goalie. It also means that Donnelly and Campbell, if they play, will need to step up their game to counter a very abrasive and competitive Saints' midfield. I'm not sure about Hartley now but we can rely on Gallagher and Gillespie. Will Mugabi be thrown into this one? I want us to play a classic away gameplan; sitting deep, restricting Saints to long range efforts from 40 yards out and making very few errors. If either of our full backs is taking a roasting in the first 10 minutes (as has happened regularly at Perth) then I hope Robbo responds by making a quick change. No high balls above chest height for the strikers. If we can do all that we'll take at least a point from this game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiderpig 531 Report post Posted September 27 We lost last week, but I can't see us slipping up with this one StJ are brutal they have the worst goals against tally in the league and are bottom on merit, so going for a win for the good guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to work beside an Irish boyhood friend of his who now follows St Johnstone. He always referred to him as "Tom".

Kmac 52 Report post Posted September 28 ————Gillespie Grimshaw——Hartley——Gallagher—-Tait ————————-Donnelly Seedorf——-Campbell—-Polworth—-Scott —————————Cole keep it simple. No need for dramatic changes however we do tend to struggle in Perth. 2-1 well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzyB 651 Report post Posted September 28 Would like to see Long back in, I can't think of Cole having a shot at goal let alone scoring yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As mentioned earlier, No. 9 is a problem for sure. I think a mixture of Long and Cole would be a good player but individually, they both lack a lot. Cole works hard but isn't good in front of goal. Long has also missed some sitters, particularly against Hibs however I also have some significant doubts on his attitude. For me, he looks like he can't be arsed half of the time.

Thought long was quality against Accies when given the start. Played very well against Hibs also but didn’t score and missed a few sitters. However felt he was unfairly dropped. He works hard in my opinion and holds it up decent but also better when being played through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope Springs 30 Report post Posted September 28 A strong line up against a team that hasn’t been scoring much and has leaked goals rather badly. However not the happiest of hunting grounds for us either. It’s a hard one to call but I think we’ll bounce back from last week with a narrow win: 1-0 the Well!!⚽️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
