Back to league duty on Sunday. We really need to start getting wins on the board in league but this will be a difficult trip as St Mirren have started league season well. Would like to see Subs who came on last night start on Sunday to get minutes into their legs before next Thursday. Would also expect Jensen to start instead of McKenzie for same reason. Not sure I would change any of the forwards but we might see Sokler start for Duk. 

Away end is sold out for this one so hopefully a decent atmosphere.

Train then pub

Train back to Capital

2-1 Miovski and McGrath (bound to score against his old club as it happens to us all the time)
 

 

What sort of thread title is this? Who are St Mirren away to? Mods? Delete thread and start again.

I thought Duk did ok last night brushed off defenders and battled away til they marked him up.

Tough game though,but if we continue as second half v Hacken,we shd be strong enough to win. 

  1 - 2 Don's. Duk,McGrath

Updated to St Mirren vs Mods

Massive game given we haven't won in the league yet but I'm feeling fairly confident. It will probably be a tight game but give Helens form you would think they will be doing more than just sitting in against us.

 

3-1 dons duk, miovski, mcgrath

Really this trip should be no harder than facing the Swedish champions away.

I'd start McGarry, MacDonald and McGrath and get the game won by half-time. 

 

Away end sold out again.

no pressure

Apologies for the rotten title but it’s was a rush job to get a thread going as Manc is an idle cunt and Big Al is slumped in the corner of some Greek Taverna looking like a sunburnt Father Jack.

Should be a good test this one, and can easily see it being a draw. I’d like to see the team that finished the hacken game start this one, feels like that, maybe with one or two tweaks is our first XI. Would be nice to kick off our domestic season and doing it on the back of the euro performance would be a perfect time for it.

On the train to Queen St ATM. Would like to see us start with the 11 that finished on Thursday and we press them from the off.

Polvara must have something on Robson to still be getting a start.

Looks like Robson expecting a physical battle which is why he's gone for Hayes, MacDonald and Polvara ahead of McGarry, McGrath and Morris.

Prediction: An awful first half, some subs around the hour mark, Dons to start playing and win it late on.

I'm guessing fitness levels are still being worked on with the new lads, which is to be expected. Great to see MacDonald, potentially, getting the ninety though. Makes a huge difference in the middle.

Tell you what I would be switching to a back 4 here, their wide men are getting way too much space 

Turgid half hour. Shinnie running about chasing shadows. Not getting the ball out. Robsons strategy has always been defend for your lives and hope duk or miovski had a blinder.

Really got away with it at the end of last season but it was never going to work long term.

Needs to improve the play because we're nothing more than a counter attack team currently.

Jonny wonder strike 👍  

Football really is fucking hilarious sometimes

Like I said...zzzz

Jensen, McGarry and McGrath on

Mackenzie, Hayes and Polvara off.

 

Thank fuck I am able to indulge in alcohol whilst watching this.

The word turgid was used earlier. Personally think that is being kind.

Have to say saints deserved that. Maybe we'll wake up now. 

Cant seem to hud onto the ball

Clarkson would be as well sitting on my couch today and despite Thursdays second half miovski still doesn't convince me. He's a bit of a coward not a leader when you need the ball to stick
