Bunny Munro Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 49 minutes ago, Smith's right boot said: Can't get beat. If we win this, our form is 1 defeat in 7. If Walker, Damour, White and Naismith can play a part, come through unscathed, then suddenly Sunday doesn't look to bleak. Get beat. 1 win in 11 league games, Likley second bottom. Not even a win on Sunday could save him, Surley? Without Naismith or walker I struggle to see the goals, but this game I think it will be just the 1 goal anyway that separates the sides, so why not us. 1 - 0, Clare. Damour, Walker and Naismith to play the last 30 mins. White to start. Go into Sunday with a tiny bit of a swagger and a few players back. CL seems to have wright's number as well, reversed our shite form v them to something at least respectable. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, a win on Sunday and he'll lead us out in the final, deserved or otherwise. I think we'll beat St Johnstone and 4 points from 2 tough away games is ok, despite the 10 men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Question whether some have the stomach for what will be a battle. Its just our luck that they get their first win at the weekend so their tails will be up. Couple that with the fact there’s needle between the teams and they seem to lift themselves v us. We say it a lot these days but it’s another test for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo-Jambo Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Naismith and Walker could be involved because they are NEARLY ready says the big chief. Could the 24 hour niggle bug before a game strike again.? If we are getting the truth for once they should be kept for Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmreido Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Be good to see Naismith & Walker back, but i think they'll both be on the bench at best. 0-0 written all over it, but would be great to get a moral boosting win before the semi final, maybe sneak 1-0 win👍hopeful HHGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with Mulraney & Washington out. I'm treating Naismith as a luxury & not holding out any hope of him playing 20 near enough consecutive games this season. In fact, when he is back, I'd rather we rested him occasionally. My thoughts too. If Naismith does come back can't see him go on a long run of games without problems I am afraid. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorgieFifeLife Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 If Saints can keep the back door locked they will win. At the moment they have better players than us from midfield to front and a bit of confidence after a win. They have struggled as they have a young defence but we are so poor in forward areas they may manage to keep us at bay. May has been quiet since his return there but a striker due a goal is a nightmare for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
