turrabuddie Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Seen that in the local Perth press, two at 16 and two at 17 year old. Hope we make them suffer for it next yearStill be good enough to beat or at least draw with Accies. We are doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like from the start he’s sent Kennedy on holiday and has three others one booking away from missing the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Wright is not going to play players who he doesn't feel can make the step up. Those players will also be desperate to make an impression with nothing at stake in the league. We shouldn't be so sure that Hamilton will win. Anyway, St J have earned to right to play whatever players they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their website they have SIX 1st team strikers listed - so if Kennedy is away that still leaves plenty... They also have 10 midfielders and 9 defenders.. Now I don't know who all are a booking away from a suspension, but they could just behave or be replaced by other 1st team guys . . . Cannot see them putting in 2, 16 year olds and 2, 17 year olds in the 1st 11 . . .

Ayrshire Saints Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not necessarily the worst thing if it comes to pass. Tired players mind on holidays or young fit energetic players eager to impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am pretty sure there was a team got in trouble a few years ago for not playing its strongest teamIt is simply not fair to any team who would find themselves in the same situation as we are St Johnstone are simply handing survival to them on a plate and it should not be allowed if we are going to end up in play off at least let it be by fair play and not by some team not competing properly. I get what you’re saying, however. Some on here were complaining not so long ago that Kearney played a reserve team (which others defended) against a Celtic second string. Maybe not to our liking, but Tommy Wright can pick whatever team he wants, he owes us nothing. We need to take care of Dundee and hope the other Saints do us a turn. Hamilton are at least one player down from Monday (Red card) and potentially the chap Miller (dislocated shoulder I believe) who I also believe is their top scorer.COYS.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Was there no a big pre-match stooshie on here during the Championship relegation battle run in when some team (was it Raith Rovers?) stated they were going to field a weakened team against Ayr? IIRR the weakened Rovers team beat Ayr anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRR the weakened Rovers team beat Ayr anyway.It was an outfield player playing goalkeeper (might have been Ryan Stevenson) for Raith and unsurprisingly Ayr won the game. Slightly different scenario. We need to forget the Hamilton game and focus solely on winning our game. Some seem to think Dundee will be a gimme, it will be anything but !

Kemp Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) When teams field weakened line-ups and move into "holiday mode" they generally lose. See St Mirren last season playing Falkirk twice in the final games of last season. eta - I don't actually see any reliable source suggesting St Johnstone will play a weakened time though. We will find out on Saturday morning. As has been mentioned above - it is far from guaranteed that we will take anything from Dens Park either!

We got ourselves in this situation and we are responsible for getting ourselves out of it. We've had 37 games to get control over our fate. It's too late to be obsessing over anything other than beating Dundee. Take your negativity elsewhere bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm sure the Tommy Wright interview was made up by a poster on Pie and bovril. There's no press release I can see that confirms he's going with a weakened side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Elvis couldn't get over here fast enough to use it as further evidence that we're doooomed Funny how the other "made up shite" about Kearney leaving came from some sadcase with a few hundred followers on twitter trying to pass himself off as some "in the know" expert also made it on to this website in double quick time with the usual suspects taking great glee in it as a sign of trouble for St Mirren. I really think there could be an extensive research paper in the behaviour of Elvis, LPM etc on this website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah perhaps that research paper could include quotes from Fitzy and Kearney on why BOTH of them refused, point blank to state Kearney was staying to honour his contract, and was building for next season? I dont know who the source was, it was followed up by the media, and never knocked on the head by those directly involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be no planning or building until we know what division we will be playing in so both are quite right to say very little (especially given the source) and concentrate on beating Dundee. It would be madness to even contemplate opening any debate on the future, it's the here and now that is the focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
