We are every bit as good as them and well able to beat them. For me it will be on the day. If we turn up we have a great chance. We also have a great chance to win this trophy. No need to fear any of the others. 18 hours ago, faraway saint said: ^^^^^^^ Blootered. I’m with Lenziebud on this one. It’s one thing spouting about fanciful European slots after a couple of decent performances, but Jesus Christ if we can’t go into a one off game against Livi thinking we will win, then we might as well chuck it. Sometimes Faraway, your level headed/devil’s advocate style definitely strays into glass half enpty territory.

We’ve been so shite that St. Johnstone have felt comfortable sitting back even at 1-0 against 10 men. They know we can’t lay a glove on them. 9 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: I’m with Lenziebud on this one.

I've never said we CAN'T beat them, it's just unlikely, christ there's been enough "shock" results over the years to give us some hope but there's no doubt, if we win, it'll be a shock. That's looking at it from their form, our managers negative approach and we can't buy a goal. You're regular tirades over the last few weeks don't even get you close to half empty I'm afraid. PS The bookies also seem to be in my boat, but they have been wrong before as well. Edited January 17, 2021 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other post of mine you quote was about the European place thing whi I’ve repeated here is fanciful. I know you didn’t say we can’t win but you accused Lenziebud of being blootered because he thinks we will, which is more or less the same thing is it not. I’m not saying Livi won’t be favourites so what the bookies think isn’t really relevant. Despite them being favourites I still think we will win this game. I’ve just got a good feeling about it.

No need to fear any of the others. Fist of all I don't think we are as good as them, and that takes into account their manager. If we turn up, like we did against Rangers, yes we do. The last sentence, well I think that while nothings impossible we are outsiders for a reason, Livingston and Hibs (Not totally discounting RC) will have something to say about that. Do we "fear" the others, silly term, but two of them IN MY OPINION, are better teams all round. 4 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: I know what you mean but I’m usually only critical of what is happening in the here and now i.e. during games.

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I thought by this time we would have seen Flynn getting a game. Similar to Danny Mullen if he doesn't come on in Saturday's game I don't think we'll see him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turrabuddie Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 On current form, Livi should win this comfortably, however, fortunately form goes out the window in this one off semi.Just as likely Livi will have a wee dip in form or suffer a bout of overconfidence - and surely we’re due a performance.There’s no doubt our players need to play better than they have in recent weeks, individually and collectively, and JG needs to find a better formation, otherwise we will lose. Even if Livi don’t turn up.Think JG will go for 4-4-1-1.Defence picks itselfOne up top (Brophy?) with McGrath just behind.But I struggle to see who to start in midfield:Connolly and Durmus out wide ?Erhahon and Flynn/Foley central ?Livi have looked very good recently, but their form has to end sometime and no reason that can’t be Sunday.COYS !!(Yes, I know - it’s the hope that kills you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
