faraway saint Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Christ, this is another massive game. Win and we have some breathing space between us and Hearts, hoping they lose against Hibs tomorrow.. Lose and we'll, what a tragic start to the season that would be.

St.Ricky Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 An intriguing game against unexpected fellow strugglers. Saints to share the points at a busy Simple Digital Arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 No chance .Hearts are struggling just now so will beat us it's the Saint Mirren way to help out teams who are playing shite and to kick start there season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hopeful that we will pick up at least one point against Hearts. Midfielder to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 I also think Hearts will win we dont have clinical strikers which is going to get us in deep trouble . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 If we lose this, with the next games Motherwell away, St Johnstone home, Kilmarnock away then, to finish the first quarter, Celtic away, things will not be looking good IMO. Maybe best not to look forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) The Hearts result today in beating Hibs makes our game against Hearts even more interesting. Great. What a league 7th to 12th covered by 4 points. Edited September 22, 2019 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 No chance .Hearts are struggling just now so will beat us it's the Saint Mirren way to help out teams who are playing shite and to kick start there season.Hibs last season is the perfect example 3-1 defeat at home, no victory for months, caretaker manager, St Mirren 1-0 up, Magennis misses sitter to make it 2-0,somehow lose 3-1.

The past isn't always a good guide to the future. Different manager, different players. There are 6 points covering every team from 6th to 12th. This is a highly competitive league. Emotions will be all over the place. A better squad here now. No guarantees other than its going to be a bumpy and exciting journey.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 One thing is for sure this will be a more open game than Hamilton as such could suit us better . You live and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 One small glimmer of light gentlemen, while we have been very poor we are still very much in with another 5 or 6 teams. Hibs play Celtic next week, got to think that's zero points for them. St Johnstone are at home to Motherwell, a point at best IMO. Hamilton are at home to Livingstone, could go anyway TBH. All of the above mean little if we don't beat Hearts. Team P GD Pts 1 Celtic 6 17 18 2 Rangers 6 11 15 3 Aberdeen 6 5 11 4 Motherwell 6 2 10 5 Ross County 6 -1 10 6 Livingston 6 0 8 7 Kilmarnock 6 -2 7 8 Hearts 6 -3 5 9 Hamilton 6 -4 5 10 St Mirren 6 -3 4 11 Hibernian 6 -10 4 12 St Johnstone 6 -12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yep. As posted earlier in the thread 6th to 12th place are covered by 5 points. Good of F Man to posr the table. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 I think we'll win this one 2-1.I love your optimism but as I posted on the Hamilton matchday thread to score goals you need the ball in the box & we just don't do that enough during games.

Indeed gentlemen, there were predictions of us scoring 3 against Hamilton, eh @munoz, which was more in hope than belief. Like munoz said, Hearts, as shite as they were in the first half, opened up in the 2nd and played at a pace, which we lack. It's difficult, but not impossible, to see us winning this and with the next 5 games looming up, where I can only see us taking something from St Johnstone, I fear by the first set of games this quarter we will be in a position that we will be in for the rest of the season, a dogfight trying to escape relegation, despite us signing quality. I have noticed this quality debate has subsided recently after us playing the 3 diddy teams that were meant to offer us lots of points.

I would be more fearful if we weren't creating any chances but in the last 3 games we have. If we can become more clinical in the final 3rd then we can still have a decent season. I don't see any reason why we cant pick up points from the next few fixtures, apart from the Celtic game. We have the 4th best defence in the league having played 2 of the top 3 teams, but if we dont start finding the net soon that will count for nothing.

Tbf we actually managed to beat them before the Jan transfer window last season thanks to supergoal Hammill. It is the only glimmer of hope I can find, but it’s there!
