We’ll need to play a lot better than today if we’re going to win this one. 

Yes, we certainly will, but I expect that we will on a good grass surface. That pitch today was very slow. Every time the ball bounced it died. Terrible surface.

The win today should take a bit of the pressure off and being back on the grass should allow us to be a bit more free flowing again.

Hopefully Longelo is ok, although I would be just as happy to rest him for the semi final if required.

Everyone else should be fitter and sharper as a result of todays run out.

Im not convinced United are all they are cracked up to be. Decent, yes. Beatable, certainly.

Id take a draw, but 3 points would be magnificent for the teams  confidence ahead of Saturday.

Looking forward to it mind you.

We will but from what I saw today Utd we're far from convincing against St Mirren and lucked out with the refs decisions. 

It will be a hard hard game but if we have any aspirations we need to win games like this.

The return of Slattery is a major bonus. If we play like we can and do it over 90 mins there's no reason why we can't win.

I would accept a draw right now and a clean bill of health for all the players for Saturday. 
id have slattery on the bench too and give him 30/40mins in the second half in prep for the semi final.

Correct the pace on that pitch today was ridiculously slow. Whilst not to blame for every intercepted pass it certainly played a part. 

It also took Longelo, Said and Maswanhise out the game as it was nigh impossible to dribble on effectively.

Given that they are our "chaos agents" thats a big part of our game nullified before we start.

I hope they have Said doing extra practise on finishing. If he can retain a wee bit composure close to goal he could be worth a good few goals. 
I love watching Said and Just on the ball. Their foot skills are terrific

A strong referee will be needed for this. Far to many games recently have seen our players tripped or blocked off with little repercussions. They call it professional fouls, I call it cheating.

I'm with you on that. Media pundits need to call it out for what it is.
