I’m away for a wee read of the Hearts form again 😬😬

Bbc ‘mystified’ that the Mandron goal wasn’t given…. Didn’t see much wrong myself. Either way, great to see our players give 100% to the cause and we are In nose bleed territory lol

^^^^^^ Jackanory anyone?

Anyhow, over on the Hearts forum there plenty of concern about today's game so I'm going for 2-0.

Had a read over some of this and Jeez…. They really dislike us. 
 

Back on to the game - will be a tough test for us, maybe the 3rd/4th team in the country in terms of budget and size - however - we seem to be able to punch above our weight just now. 
 

I think this will be a very tight game, much like the 2-2 last season. I’m going for an optimistic 2-1 to us.

This is very unsaint mirren like. We seem to have an identity and the players definitely look like they'll run through a brick wall for the management team. I look at every other team in this league and, though we will definitely drop points,  given the marked improvement in our away form. I will go to every game knowing we could get a result. Our home form is what got us the top six berth so I'll go for a continuation of this. 3-1 with O'Hara and Kiltie on the scoresheet. Hoping young Nahmani comes on and adds to his tally. (Though it would be just as nice if they were all scored by strikers).

I keep forgetting we have Nahmani. The teams doing very well, and he certainly made an impact in the cup and Livi game when he came on. I’m looking forward to Saturdays game. Great start for us so far. 

Tough game and test for us. Lets hope we can get a result and get one over them....

Dug deep for that after a poor game. Happy to take the point!!

Looks like we are getting exactly what we deserve from this, absolutely nothing. 
 

Can moan about plastic pitches all the live long day but we are dropping points because we have played terribly. 

We’ve been hook line and sinker we into Livis game 

poor! 

Always a tough game up at Livi. However, I’m confident today but expect it to be a tight affair. 1-0 or 2-1 to us. 

f**k off Hibs!

Looked like he kicked it into the ground from the replay. 

Thommo and co on BBC saying he kicks it off his standing foot and shouldn’t have counted. Will be interesting to see. 

Bbc radio saying their pen should have been struck off for a double touch. If so…. Typical 

I’m hoping after a tough game mid week & another coming (a big earner for them), they’ve got their eyes on that prize and we can take full advantage. 
 

Would be keen to see the Grieve one back - a few online posts suggesting it was in 

 

either way 3 points and a good start to the season. 

Looking forward to this game. The question is who we start up front and in the CB roles. They look fast on the break but slow in defence.

Boyd Munce looks a player. His level of fitness worries me though. He always looks knackered after 5 minutes

Yea - from what I’ve seen fitness is an issue but he seems to have an eye for a good pass and fairly solid in terms of ball retention and physicality. Reminded me of a young Charlie Adam - no particularly fast/super fit but has a good football head. Time will tell.

Just need the Jam Tarts to get f**ked in their first game and I’ll be sorted for both games! 👍

If the record of Scottish teams outwith The Rangers, is anything to go by, it’s likely this will happen….

Watched a bit of the Dundee game on Saturday (yes, I was that bored). They actually looked ok, particularly on the counter - a bit of pace on the break. This was our downfall for the 2 goals V Hibs. I think we’ve enough attacking to beat them, just need to be tighter at the back. 

What a result - heart in mouth stuff for a while but can’t ask for much better than a win on the road to a big club to start the season off 

It’s. Shame Gogic is in defence, always feel we get more out of him in the middle (or at least, I think by the look of the team he’s CB). 
 

I hope we have enough going forward to take the pressure off that CB pairing

After Tuesday night I might not attend in person, still feeling rough following that but I'll see in the morning and maybe use public transport instead of driving through.

With O'Hara available again I'd expect us to look a lot better through the middle, hopefully we will see McMenamin play from the start.

Just for a change, I'd like to see us put out a starting 11 that will handle a lower legue side easily and THEN we can mess about with resting players and postional experiments when we are 3 up, as we really should be relatively early.

For the most part, we did that against Arbroath last week. Though, I agree that it shouldn’t be by exception. I’m hoping that we are just tying new things and that’s been the reason for the 2 poor pefofrmances

McGrath a free agent, would he re-sign? I would imagine Hibs or similar would be interested. However, with Baccus likely to exit, could be a good replacement

No, looks like radio Scotland tonight. 

That’s a pity, I can’t make it out there but would have liked to watch at home. I’ll just follow the forum for updates. 

No streams or IPTV?

So it isn’t? Ace well then. Time will tell. 

I was made to think it was Sam Cosgrove. Could be wildly wrong though. I’m sure it was on twitter etc
