I do think it’s pretty mean that bbc have no intention to screen even highlights of a national cup semifinal. Likely splashed all their budget on the English cup as ever. As for the game, Saints have confounded most by eliminating Aberdeen and Rangers but can’t see it today. Probably less awful to lose a semifinal than suffer against our perennial nemesis from Perth. Good luck anyhow later. IMO you'd be wrong to assume as it's 2021 and there's various means to WATCH this possibly historic match. Enjoy the wireless. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i am right, we were in the left hand 1 as you come out of the tunnel in 1987 and 2013 and in the right hand 1 in 2010. My guess would be that we'll be on the west side. That's the side you don't want. ETA. Sorry. I'm wrong. That would be the bench you do want. Rangers had the west side when we played them in 2010.

windae cleaner 4,138 Report post Posted January 24 If we match their energy we will win but that should be a given The last few weeks we have selected players who can't provide that There's no point worrying about them as we know their set play strengths Get in about them and get forward force mistakes Play them at their own game 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically 3 attacking players in the starting 11 !!!Bench has a fair few attacking players/strikers. Maybe change it up and go all at it in 2nd half?

Ronnie 1,273 Report post Posted January 24 Their energy is what worries me they are much more than just a long ball team these days and like you say our team doesn't seem to have that sort of energy Hopefully the chance to be heroes gives us that extra energy.
