St Mirren V Aberdeen (0 - 1)


Recommended Posts

Injured: Jack & Robertson

 

Team (and bench) picks itself. We will need to rotate the squad but not quite yet. Another massive match - we need to be looking to close the 21 point gap over the next few weeks as Celtic will take their eye off the ball be sure of that.

 

Langfield

 

Logan Anderson Reynolds Considine

 

Flood Robson

 

McGinn Pawlett Hayes

 

Rooney

 

subs: Weaver, Shaughnesey, Tate, Low, Smith, Zola, Vernon

Prediction 0-2 McGinn due a goal or two

We're super so I recon it'll be 4 or 5 nil to us. Rooney will score. Pawlett will defiantly score. Robson will score from a corner. Hayes will run and cross the ball. Langfield won't have a save to make.

 

I was going to attend this een then I saw the kick off time. It's on the tv isn't it? And it's the day after valentines day so I prob won't be able to stand after pumping my bird all night.

Aye, just after 12 will get you there for KO

 

Is it a lunchtime kick off?

 

Last time I was there I went to the Holiday Inn bar, long time ago, not even sure it's still open. Spent the evening in Paisley station, nice cup of tea and decent mattress, wouldn't recommend a whole weekend there though, menu was limited.

I could see quite a few changes in this one with Anderson and Robson possibly being rested, although with Jack out we're a bit light in midfield. Pawlett was rested for the Motherwell game only to have to come on after 10 minutes, so he may start on the bench, but I think we'll start something like this:

 

Langfield

Logan Tate Reynolds Considine

Flood Low

McGinn Pawlett Hayes

Rooney

subs: Weaver, Shaughnesey, Anderson, Robson, Smith, Zola, Vernon

Don't think anyone will be deliberately rested for this one.

 

We have three games in a week between the 22nd Feb and 1st March: Partick away (22nd), Celtic home (25th), St Johnstone home (1st). Reckon we're more likely to see players rested (Anderson and Robson the only two, really) at Firhill.

this is the game where we'll see if that mythical corner has actually been turned.

 

How many teams have had a decent run, beaten one of the filth and then failed to do anything for weeks after over the last few years...

 

Win and I'd say that kind of proves we have the team on our hands we're beginning to think we do. Loose and its not quite there yet. No need to panic or anything if we do loose though, just means there's still a lot of work to do to secure 2nd and to be confident of winning at least 1 of the cups.

Thankfully we don't have Motherwell, Hearts or The Rangers in the Quarter Final the week before the League Cup final. Hopefully we'll go a few goals up early on and then take off Pawlett, Hayes and Anderson for the final.

If we were to rest Anderson, I would put Shaughnesey in at centre back. Tate hasn't impressed me. Ok, against Hibs, he played at right back which he isn't. His lack of pace is worrying and I just fear is legs may have gone.

Was RB he played against ICT not Hibs, where I believe he struggled? I thought he strolled the game against Hibs to be honest.

Ah yes, you are correct. Played centre back against Hibs. Still worry about his pace and Hibs, going forward, were absolutely awful that game. Don't think he's the answer even as a backup/stop-gap.

We were shit when we played them on the Monday night game earlier in the season.

 

Lessons will have been learned 1-3.

 

:cheers:

 

I thought it was more down to how good St Mirren were that night rather than how poor we were.

 

They hit us pressing really high from the start. Once they got their goal they got a bit nervous, didn't know whether to continue the way they'd been going prior to taking the lead or sit back and go deep. Had we scored a tad earlier than we did, I'm sure we would've won that night. Remember in injury time McGinn coming down the left and going for a shot, when he had Hayes square who would've just tapped it in. That game seemed to spark a mini-revival in St Mirren at a time when it looked like Danny Lennon might get the boot.

 

They're in need of another mini-revival. Hope it doesn't start on Saturday.

We were shit in the first half down to one of the very few mistakes McInnes has made since he came here. He tried to accomodate both Zola & Vernon as it was the Monday after Vernon's hat trick v Falkirk.

 

Second half we played a bit better.

 

We'll win 1-0 on Saturday.
