the barrhead teacher Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Edinburgh scored two against Hamilton. We should get the nine points but we will struggle to get the goals required. Losing three on Saturday probably has undone us, though nine points is a fair return. Always like to see us progress but l think this new format has undone a few teams...

Sergie's no1 fan Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 If the players apply themselves in the right manner at high intensity, there is no reason why we can't get close to the 4 required. It will be tricky and no game is a given but Accies and Livi managed to score a few past them.It's all about getting in about them from the first whistle and get an early goal.

TopCat Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I made the mistake in thinking that the tied placings were settled on head to head before GD, and therefore thinking that any win on Saturday would put us through. Turns out I was wrong and it looks likely we are going to win 3 games out of 4 and probably still go out. Oh well, them's breaks, it's been a decent group and good preparation for the league campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I think we would have went to goal difference anyway as the three teams that can finish on 9 points have all beaten one and lost to one of the others so there would be no way to separate out by that criterion.Assuming we beat Edinburgh City it's still been a good campaign even if we go out and a lot more fun than friendlies. I hope the SPFL keep this for next season.Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Black & White Army mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I see that Edinburgh City have just signed Craig Beattie, just in time for him to make his debut against us, if he doesn't get injured between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Typical Saints luck - although don't see Beattie having anything like the same impact as DonatiSent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Black & White Army mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggie Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 There are 3 competitions available to us (normally 2 if we are in the top league and excluding the challenge cup) I cannot see us winning this league with Hibernian and Dundee Utd in it. Looks like we are about to exit the League cup yet again at the first hurdle. That leaves the Scottish cup which doesn't start until January. Unless a dramatic improvement is made in time for the league campaign, with at least an attempt to fight for play off position, another miserable season could be on the cards. Over to Mr Rae to work miracles which many on this forum appear to think he is capable of. Best of luck to him. Maybe we can even turn over the leagues newest arrivals on Saturday.

League over before a ball is kicked and out a competition we can still go through in before the final game kicks off - even for you this is a new low !!!

kevo_smfc Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 The game on Saturday is great preparation for the season ahead. Its a must win game and the players know what is required statistically to see us through to the next round. Regardless if we go through or not now, a win on Saturday will still be a good confidence builder going into the Morton game next week.

Tommy Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Sat game will be theirs 4th game in 10 days. With them being p/t I would expect tired legs with us getting some late goals. [emoji460] [emoji460] [emoji460] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm with the gung-ho guys on this occasion, we should be taking the game to them on Saturday, 90 minutes at as high an intensity as we can manage. COYS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hardie, Shankland, and Clarkson to start. Sutton to bully them as a late sub when they are tiring. 5-0 Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglesham saint Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 From SPFL TWITTER St Mirren will win the group if: St Mirren beat Edinburgh City (H) by a margin of 4 or more goals AND Hamilton fail to beat Livingston (H). St Mirren beat Edinburgh City (H) AND Hamilton beat Livingston (H) AND (St Mirren’s winning margin – Hamilton’s winning margin) > 5. St Mirren beat Edinburgh City (H) AND Hamilton beat Livingston (H) AND (St Mirren’s winning margin – Hamilton’s winning margin) = 5 AND (Goals scored by St Mirren – Goals scored by Hamilton) > 4.
