tartofmidlothian Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Let's pick up where we left off and show we can win games which aren't 'big'. We need to get right up that table. I'll predict 2-1 to us, another scrappy but battling one. The same starting XI would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Jambo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think this could be really tough given the week we have had. rangers scraped through by a single goal and Aberdeen lost there so anyone expecting a big win is well wide of the mark. i would be delighted by a scrappy one goal win.

BelgeJambo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Arguably the toughest of this 3 game spell. We have a tendency to shoot ourself in the foot with these games. Apply ourselves like we have this week and we win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 St Mirren are hard to break down, this is not going to be easy. In 4 matches with Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs and Hamilton they have conceded only 2 goals. Narrow 2-1 away defeats in the other matches with Livingston and County. Thought we looked very tired pretty early in the game last night, it can be mental as well as physical, getting in front in this game is critical.

King prawn Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Get an early goal and we’ll be alright. I’m liking the look of us with Whelan playing us out from the back and Meshino/Mulraney and Uche causing havoc up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 monumental efforts we have had this week as St Mirren have had their feet up, not making excuses, its simply a fact, they should have an awful lot of energy compared to us. It would be natural to have some difficulty this weekend, I'd happily take 4 points from the next 2 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could see the likes of Irvine, Morrison getting a start. If we continue with a back 3 then Hickey may well drop out. Uche was dead on his feet but, with limited options up front, he will no doubt have to put in another hard shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It should’ve been 12! Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Its a quick turnaround and obviously our 3rd game in 6 days but I fancy us to be right up for this on and off the pitch and to win the game 2-0, come on the Gorgie! Would cap off a really good week and continue the positive momentum! 👍⚽️ On another note, I’m hoping to watch the wee team get gubbed at lunchtime, we normally go to the bowling club pre-match but don’t think they have the footy on, anyone know anywhere close to the ground that will and welcomes away fans? 👍🍻⚽️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a hooped demons away game, there will be a few in attendance mind ! For people coming off the train at Gilmour St, try the Argyll Bar on Old Sneddon St, Glasgow Hearts boys usually go there pre-match against St Mirren or the Court Bar on St James St, St Mirren pub but ok for a pint.

neilnunb Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 St Mirren couldn't beat 10 man Hamilton ffs. We 'should' be good enough if we go about things correctly and don't sit in looking for a draw from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Some players will definitely need a rest. Mulraney can come on for Bozanic if he is struggling out wide, but can't think who else to stick there as Jake needs a bit of a rest if he was holding his hamstring last night.

Tough game. They've Suprised me a bit tbh The main thing is not to give a daft goal away, do that and we can score a couple Scored 2 goals in each of out last 4 games now. Only won one in normal time tho. Scoring 2 should be enough v Hamilton, well, hibs, Aberdeen so if we can replicate that and not brain fart all over the place we'll be good. This is when we need to start winning and teams like Rc, livi, well etc level out and we climb the table. Be tough, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 3rd game in 6 days..midweek extra time, away match Fitness may be an issue so I would expect a couple of changes..Irving for a start Any away game is tough and we've struggled there recently. So far this season they have not lost by more than one goal home or away in league matches including beating Aberdeen at home and only losing 1-0 at home to Rangers. They don't score many though This will be a real test not about the quality of the opposition but the determination to get 3 points then earn a little rest before the Kilmarnock match which may just see the return of one or two important players. In normal circumstances I would be confident of 3 points but a tough week may catch up with us so a draw is more likely. Will we go 4-4-2 ?
