St Johnstone V Aberdeen


Recommended Posts

Move on and look to the next one. Reynolds or Considine need to come in at centre half to seperate Taylor/O'Connor. A lot of fans would drop Taylor but McInnes won't.

 

Lewis

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Considine

 

Jack Shinnie

 

Pawlett McLean Hayes

 

Stockley

 

subs: Alexander, O'Connor, McGinn, Rooney, Storey, Christie, Wright

prediction: 1-1

Tough and physical game as always. They haven't scored against us in 3 games this season but reckon that'll change this week-end.

 

There's definitely niggle between the two sets of players stemming mainly from the LC game this season and stereogate. They will be desperate to put one over us and have plenty to play for Wright would love to finish above Hearts and his beloved huns.

 

1-1.

I don't think Reynolds is fit to play is he?

 

I think we could do with dropping a few players to give things a kick up the arse but we don't really have that many brilliant options. Christie is good enough to come in to the team but then McLean has been too good to drop imo.

 

Perhaps a change in the formation/system and do something a bit fresh for this one?

 

Drop Rooney, Move McGinn to play up top, Christie on the wing. Counter attack with more speed.

Not a bad shout. One thing I've never understood is why McInnes has never tried McGinn through the middle. In his first season under under the GWT that was where he played and he scored 20 odd goals.

 

Definitely time to give Christie a start he's the type that can unlock the door in a tight game. And it's usually tight against St J.

Definitely need to mix things up, but I kind of wince when I look at our squad beyond the first 11.

 

Alexander

 

back 5 with wing-backs:

Logan Ross O'Connor Consi Shinnie

 

2 centre mids, 2 attacking mids:

Jack Pawlett

Wright Christie

 

Stockley up front, chuck Storey on for Pawlett if we need more firepower, he must want to make up for that hashed goal line sitter.

 

Subs: my gran, some cornflakes, a cotton bud and Nancy Spungen. Could do worse.

Hayes seems to be carrying that shoulder injury again and save a couple of runs was posted missing. I'd mix up Christie and Pawlett with Hayes and Maclean/Jack (what we should have done when they swapped for Windass yesterday). Mcginn's notgivingonefuckedness looks set to continue. Could cope with Stockley in for Rooney but with Saughnessy and Anderson they obviously want us to go long and narrow and playing Stockley will only encourage us (Ash) even more.

 

Defence? Meh. Once again biggest problem is do we pull Shinnie out of midfield.

Time we had a decisive win in this fixture. Thought we were going to do that last season at their place when we were 4-1 up and we ended up winning 4-3 and hanging on at the end.

 

We're a better side than them but I actually think they are a bit tougher mentally. I think they've got stronger mentally since they won the SC a few years ago and losing Stevie May didn't really seem to affect them too much. They certainly seem to do better against the huns than we do for starters their players know what it's like to beat them at the snakepit. And Hearts too think they're unbeaten in 8 games against them now. Like the huns and Hearts they tend to let themselves down more often than they should against the smaller teams. But they always seem to raise their game against the bigger teams.

Get Christie in the starting lineup, he should have been involved at the weekend tbh.

 

Reckon O'Connor will miss out but Taylor will be involved. Considine at CH is a slight worry, he is better out wide.

 

Maybe get PP involved as well, we need to freshen it up a bit.

 

One of the reasons we fall away at this stage is the managers over reliance on certain players.
