Saints have been going about their business quietly, not scoring lots of goals, but regular wins and by small margins.  So I can't see this being any different.  We're still pish but hopefully we'll continue to see the youth getting a bit more of a run around.  Ramsay was very promising on the weekend and it's clear some of the senior players are done.  Will Glass be having a say on things now?

In/out: Out
Prematch: Bed
Match: Bed
Post Match: Bed
Prediction: 1-1, Kamberi

 

Presuming Hendry cant play so that reduces the chance of a dons goal by a further 302%

Sheerin will stick with 4-3-3 (not sure if that’s his choice or Stephen Glass instructions).

It’ll be a poor game, tight & low scoring.

1-0 St Johnstone & 3rd place gone without question. 

I predict a goalfest. Maybe 1-0 them. 

I agree with RT that we'll go for a 4-3-3. I personally think that a 4-2-3-1 is our best bet. However they play three at the back so we might even match up with that, a 3-5-2 would be fine. 

Our biggest dilemma is midfield at the moment. As a three, Ferguson, McRorie and Campbell are unproductive (McGeouch wouldn't change that either). Useful for games against the scum, but not when we need to draw defenders out. With Brown coming in next season, it makes the dilemma even worse. I don't think we'll win with all three in the midfield.

Ramsay Hoban Considine MacKenzie       
              Ferguson McCrorie

          McGinn Kamberi Hayes

                        Hornby

I’m assuming Hornby is fit.

Only thing I would change with that team is Campbell for McCrorie as not been impressed with his form for some time and think he needs rested/dropped. As everyone else has said can’t see this being anything other than a low scoring dull affair. Not sure I will bother with game.

Russell won’t be there before the game 

1-0 it is then ?

I've heard he's been secretly zooming McGinn at McGinn's back garden with old Celtic tops as goal posts.

Niall has been firing them o'er the neighbours fence though and upset a few topless sunworshippers.

?

4-4-2? McRorie at right back? Not sure how both Hayes and McKenzie fit in otherwise.

That or 4-5-1 but has to be a 4 at the back surely?

Assuming this isnt free on Red TV for ST holders (doesnt say on AFC site)?.Nae sure I want to pay to watch a St J game

Its grim in there
Not quite as grim was watching 10mins of the game and not being able to recall a single dons pass inside the st johnstone half

Cannae disagree min.

Shame really, as the live chat used to be really good years ago on a Saturday if you couldn't make the game.

 

If love to analyse our stats this season. I'd be surprised if Joe hasn't had the most touches in the squad.

Kennedy has already embarrassed himself twice. McCart has him in his pocket already.

That was the brutal first half that I sadly expected. We must be the only team in history to have no new manager bounce. Flat as fuck.

So 0-0 then?

 

Yep, terrible stuff so far, look like we'll be our own downfall with the championship manager pish from the back. Saints should just allow the first pass from Lewis and then close down quickly from there. Hopefully Hornby can manage a half. Kamberi and McGinn not working.

I'm not against playing out. You see it in Germany every week. We just don't seem to have the ability to do it properly despite having an abundance of holding midfielders who should be collecting the ball and turning.

It's not playing out that's the issue, it's doing it every single time when you're already under pressure. 

Lovely goal, great play by the two wingers. Good start to the half. Hornby already done more than Kamberi.
