St mirren vs Dons 03/04/25

[manc_don]

Another must win if we to achieve a chance of finishing 3rd. They obviously had a reasonable result against the huns on the weekend and have had better results at home than away of late, so should have plenty of confidence going into this. We also know Robinson despises us so I’m sure that’ll give him extra motivation. 

Our season appears to have clicked back into gear at the right time, hopefully setting us up for a full of confidence finale. Hibs was a stern starting test but we’ve essentially got 4 more cup finals before the actual one, would be nice to finish as high up the table as possible. Hopefully Clarkson and palaversa continue their good form in the middle, would be nice if we could get two decent halves from the latter. Is he trying too hard?

I'm absolutely dreading this as our record against st mirren for the past 5 years is fucking grim. We have not won at Paisley in the league since february 2020 (goals from Lewis Ferguson and Sam Cosgrove), we have attempted to get league wins there 8 times since and lost 6 times.  If you Include that match and the all the matches in the league since them that is 18 fixtures of which we have won 6, drawn 4 and lost 8.  I doubt any other team in the league could boast a better record against us apart from the tims.  So, yeah, dreading this one. 

That said we are defo coming into this with a spring in our step and we are well overdue a result there.  It will be interesting to see if Thelin goes with the same outfield team for an unprecedented 5th match on the bounce.

Re Palaversa he's one yellow away from a 2 match ban and theres no danger hes going the rest of the seaosn without being booked.

We have struggled with St Mirren’s physical style all season and with their pitch not in the best condition for playing football don’t see this being any different. Despite his poor form of late this might be a game for sticking with Gueye to give us a physical presence. As had been said we need to find a way to win this one to keep up pressure on Hibs for third place. Not sure we will though.  Hopefully Tobers is fit for this one as think he is a better option beside Knooster to combat St Mirren’s strikers.

One time we were in pre match, standing against the bar and one of my mates without thinking pointed over the bar counter at the optics and the big German Shepherd just about had his hand off. He sure as hell didn't make that mistake again
