Weebroon98 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 In many ways this is a bigger game than last weekends game. We will see if this team can compete away from home in the top league or will it be the same old away day guff. Hoping for 3 pts and keep the momentum going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo-Jambo Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 12 minutes ago, wavydavy said: St Mirren are a bit like Dundee in that they always seem to raise their game when they play us and for far too long we have allowed them to get on top. I am hoping that we have the right attitude to give them a real game and win this. As Robbie said it's great beating Celtic but we need to follow that up with a win against St Mirren, They are never easy to beat and always a threat they have some decent players. Brophy and Main up front will be a handfull for our CB's and I fancy that Main will go up against Halkett as he will fancy his chances of winning most of the aerial battles. It will be tight I am sure and we will soon find out if what Boyce was saying in his recent interview comes true. We need to let them worry about us. A positive start by getting on the front foot is essential. Far too often away from home we start the game far too tentatively and suffer by going behind. As far as I am concerned we take the lead tomorrow we win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Panzee Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 think it's key that we score an early goal by whatever means as this'll force st mirren to play more open and thus give us space to exploit. I feel our recent-ish successes against sevco, hibs and celtic (to a lesser extent) have been as a result of the opposition setting up to win. it's these stubborn 11 men behind the ball, 'don't lose first and foremost' teams we need to try and overcome.

AlimOzturk Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Like us raising our game when we come up against Celtic/Rangers/Hibs St Mirren do so against us. We need the players to rise to the occasion and get the job done. Sign of a good team is consistently putting in good performance or grinding out difficult results. All about getting points on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not rocket science, go and show you’re a better team and win. It’s an attitude thing, probably about the only good thing about the uglies is how they approach league games. I think the performance is more important tomorrow, if we have a good go and are unlucky then that shows more to me than sitting back and getting a lucky win etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattatooi Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Feck me, we have a solid back line with one of the best CB’s and easily the best GK. Middle of the park has been light but we have added Beni in there and Haring on his game can be immense. Soapy and Beni can both pass a ball (forward) with ease. Front line for me is the weakest but that still has GMS, Ginnelly and Boyce - who can all provide the goods on their day. In short we should be smashing this game and leaving them for dead. I’m going 3-0 but I really want more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut The Crap Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 No real idea how this will go.

Our Keeper made two outstanding saves, not luck, but very good signing to prevent goals being scored. We were not lucky. We rightfully won that game. Possession doe snot win you football, goals do and we won it fair and square. Its so worrying that your hatred for Neilson has managed to cloud over an incredible win and start to the season.

Cruyff Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It's a winnable game but it'll be tough. St Mirren play 3-5-2 on the counter and are tough to break down but I think we've got more quality than them and enough to cause them problems. A point would be OK and if that happens I hope no one shits the bed over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for 3 pts and keep the momentum going This week is another brilliant opportunity for Bob to set out a positive team selection and tactics to go and win the game against St Mirren. The usual defensive set up to achieve a 0-0 and back to Gorgie is not what we want our team to be about. Have a go. Go out to win the game. A win and its 6 out of 6 and probably about 4 points ahead of where we realistically thought we'd be after two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Over the years we have become accustomed to winning against one of the ugly sisters and then alas come crashing down to earth again in the next match because the players didn't apply themselves with the same energy or believed just turning up would be enough. Something tells me this group of players won't let that happen but full time on Saturday will show us where we are at and if we are strong enough to go and get away results against committed opponents. I will go for a hard fought 2-0 victory for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi cant fail Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 We need to be going to places like this and picking up 3 points. Hibs managed 11 wins away from home in the league last season, Aberdeen regularly win away from home too. That’s what we’re up against, we hear on this forum constantly that we have a better squad than hibs etc so we need to be proving it. Tomorrow’s a good chance to lay down a marker and we should be going there full of confidence after beating Celtic last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
