Desperate times, desperate measures and all that crap Jackson is fit and runs a lot but has absolutley no football brain whatsoever. He never ever anticipates where the ball will go or tries to make runs where the ball will end up, he has no instinct at all. He just runs at ball or watches it chasing it about. A terrible example for a forward upfront.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a far better squad than us IMO and certainly a better manager. After the way we were set up to start against Well on Wednesday I am absolutely dreading 3pm on Saturday... If i were dreaded something i didn't need to go to i certainly wouldnt be going...strange statement to make... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate times, desperate measures and all that crap I think that Jackson and Mullen will both get game time alongside Ducken. Will Jack Baird play? If he does, does he partner Popescu?

Jack the lad Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Time for some youth and energy in the midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munoz Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'd be tempted to play Mullen in a attacking midfield role. Bags of energy and can tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thought for the day! with all the doom and gloom surrounding this game thats even got Oran calling Utd as favourites... wont it just be proper St Mirren to win by two clear goals, in a game without incident, or us under threat..? anyway here's a snap of Oran attempting yet another inappropriate High Five... man's got form for this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted February 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Meanwhile back to the game. Gale force winds and rain forecast. Will I go? Of course I will. Ticket bought and raring to go. One end full of Arabs with Paisley's finest in the other three stands. This is what I call football, win, lose or draw. Drama and excitement. Exileration and excitement for some and disappointment for others. But.. Might take a replay to separate us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does, does he partner Popescu? Reasonable questions and thoughts. 1. I also Think Jackson, Mullen and the Duck will get game time - 2 out of 3 on at the start and one subbed for the 3rd at some point in the match. 2. Will Baird play? Depends on how fit Ferdinand is and how he and Oran handle the discussion about him coming off tactically. I suspect Jack will apologise and state that he was fit and in good spirits having just re-signed for 2 years and all of a sudden he was off when he has been reliable for weeks on end, while others were unfit (Ferdinand) The manager will say he understands and wants Jack to be disappointed if he is not playing, but cannot condone disrespect. Jack will accept this and pledge his undying allegiance going forward. Then lastly - depends on what format Oran plays against UTD - 5 or 4 at the back - my feeling is he better make sure he knows how Utd are lining up - so that we don't sell the jerseys in the 1st 20 minutes like we did against Well. Popescu is a cert so long as he is fit - he looks to be a very good CB indeed. (To think we let Alfie Jones go for what - Oh Aye for Popescu - excellent business) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Tony loves the club and if he wants to talk us up then go for it. His comments are a bit over the top but it is far better than the usual negative stuff on here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that he was on decent money, more than Popescu is now on - and although we heard he played midfield, that never happened - so why, not even once? I am not sure if it was as simple as Southampton cancelled the loan, but that is just my opinion... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in at least as much a transition as we are at this time and I do not believe they have signed many better players than we have. I think your 3rd line is the big factor - this is freedom to really have a go with less fear. Hope McAllister starts and rips them open like you say - I think Dreyer will too - just hope whoever is in the middle is clinical . . . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
