Match Thread St Mirren 1 - 0 Aberdeen

[BonnieDon]

Looking forward to this one.

Hopefully we get to see both  Polvara and Vicente in action tomorrow.

[Tord31]

No doubt McGrath and St Mirren have patched up their differences and he's in the team. 

[Ten Caat]

I don't think Polvara will be ready for a debut for at least a month. The step up he is making is enormous.

Besuijen I don't think we'll see either, the team will be travelling down tonight and he'll have a lot to sort out personally. At best he'd have had one training session with the team. He probably speaks decent English but the various Scottish accents will initially sound like nothing he's ever encountered before. Ojo will likely prove more useful as a translator than a player.....2 year extension incoming ?

Rather see him make his debut at Pittodrie anyway

Odds on him scoring the winner?

Hedges would have to be away for that to happen I'd think.

More likely not in the squad tomorrow and 15mins on Saturday.

I was at that game. Dunfermline was only 25 minutes away from where I lived, managed to swing a half day at work and dragged my now ex missus along for the ride. She hated football usually but even she got caught up in the excitement. I parked up at Lynebank Hospital. Bad move, was stuck there over 45 minutes trying to get out after full time

Besuijen's work permit unlikely to be sorted by tomorrow.

I'd be really surprised to see that change (too used to having mcinnes as manager?) but would definitely go for it. He looked lively.

Playing Ojo and Barron as wingers second half though was very painful. Why does Glass hate wide players?

I'm not sure he does

I think he just Hates OUR wide players and with good reason

Depending on the result tomorrow he’ll be involved at home to St Johnstone on Saturday.

If we stutter to a draw or defeat he’ll likely start.

If we win, suspect he’ll be on the bench & get 20-30 minutes. 

That also depends on a potential sale of Ryan Hedges 

[Andy_123]

Is MacKenzie back for this one? What’s up with him anyway?

Hayes has been ok at LB but I’d rather see him back on the wing when the alternative there is Ojo or Barron or any of our other CM’s.

Have you got your ticket already? I was assuming (wrongly) you could rock up and pay on the night. 
 

My pal and I are planning to attend but may now be looking at the home end. 

Sorry, just seen this. Aye, bought tickets online. Tried looking on the St.Mirren website for PATG info and couldn't even see this game mentioned anywhere on it. Pathetic .

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Reading between the lines, I get the feeling Hedges may not feature tomorrow.

Glass when talking about the Blackburn speculation; “Looks like he’s been affected by it”.

In other words his mind is elsewhere.

The problem is we don’t have anyone to come in, as the new signing won’t be eligible.

I’d rather have a “distracted” Hedges than Connor Gump or JET. 

[fine-n-dandy]

Glass’s comments about McGrath could bite him on arse (all the more reason he should have kept his mouth shut) now that Goodwin & McGrath have ‘cleared the air’ 

 

Can guess how their clear air talks went

 

So, so you fancy turning out for us one more time before you leave & get it up that fkr Glass for his comments?

 

Damn tooting right I do

Hope Connor Gump is McLennan & not Barron?

I'd rather not have a Hedges that might start hiding and trying to avoid injury at all cost which is what I think might well happen. 

Or he suddenly comes down with an invented injury that is difficult to disprove and keeps him out the side.

That said, even with today's signing I still think we are too thin on the ground to allow him to leave this window unless Blackburn offer stupid money

Nae chance of seeing Vicente as still awaiting the issuing of his visa, maybe see Polvara for the last 10 or 15 minutes, but only then if we are cruising and the three points are secured. As others have said the step up this loon is making is massive, I'm not saying he is not capable of making the step up as  dont know enough about him to comment. I am however aware that he is coming to us from the yankee equivalent of the Highland League but here's hoping we have unearthed a gem, time will tell and good luck to the loon.

Prediction for tonight - It's been a while since I had such a confident feeling heading into any match recently and I'm going for a comfortable 3 or 4 nil to the good guys. Ferguson and Brown with one each and either one or two for Ramirez.

COYR / SF 

[thurso]

0-2 Aberdeen. 
 

Ramirez and jet the scorers

Glass in the papers today saying Polvara has a slight injury so we won't see him for a little while.

Can imagine he'll be eased into the side gradually and maybe loaned out next season?

The 'distracted' Hedges scored and had an assist a couple of days before Glass made those comments. Bit strange unless things ramped up with Blackburn Sunday/Monday.

That in the papers or on Redtv?

Can't recall him saying that on Redtv unless it was edited out...

If hedges wants his move now get your boots on and prove your a professional

I'd be keeping Hedges in the team for the first half tonight.

We will really be struggling without him and Watkins.
