St Mirren are very much trying to emulate the style we adopted last season. Be interesting to watch two teams who will be trying to play a similar syle.

Yes, copycats in many ways.

Can’t stand St Mirren, their fans annoy the life out me and the semi final reaction from them last year will be something I’ll not forget. In general I have no problems with any clubs or fans outwith the old firm but for some reason St Mirren are the exception.

lets thump them

5-0 Motherwell

An interesting game in prospect. Not sure what St Mirren we will encounter given their recent changes. However we're not on here to discuss that lot. It'll be a tough encounter given our injury situation and hectic early season schedule, so I won't read too much into the result and performance, unless we win. Every cloud has a silver lining and Girdwood-Reich and Moormann will be a little more rested than we originally envisaged. I expect that Williams and Sparrow may return to the starting line up. I was a little surprised that SOD didn't get some gametime in Germany, but thats as may be. Some time from the bench for Thor and Stama? 

I suspect our goalscoring ability will come under scrutiny as will our defensive performance at set pieces, from both our fans and the St Mirren management. 

For this particular fixture, I'd plead with our fans to be patient and understanding.

Paulsen

SODs Girdwood-Reich Moormann Williams

Hodge Fadi Lowry

Charles-Cook Seb Longelo

Said and Maswanhise miss out for me as I want two wide men firing crosses in as often as possible.

[Kmcalpin]

Not sure Charles-Cook warrants a start unless its purely for squad rotation purposes. I''m still to be convinced by him.

I think AJ will want to change a number of players out to help manage load.  Just not sure  if we can.

 

SOD KNIGHT MOORMAN AND WILLIAMS

 

MID IS TRICKY   WHYTE HODGE AND LOWRY

 

VOGT SEB AND COOK

 

think he will look to make early changes bringing on sparrow Thor etc and try and manage the returning from injury players.  This in particular is going to make this a hard game.  Hoping for a win but a European hangover needs managed would take a draw.

I feel the same way - it’s a shame we don’t have the weekend off as suspect mentally and physically the team has gone through a lot . 
 

The team needs time to gel , find the best starting 11 .  
 

id be delighted to see a few glimpses of what might be in store

From Bristol, isn't he? He'll bring the average age of our squad up quite considerably.
