Rascal Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Undiminished optimism. No longer intend to go to Parkhead. Will watch on TV. Not nearly as good but Come on the Saints!

faraway saint Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 After today's baffling performance it's hard to see us getting anything from this game. Before today I thought we could have caused Celtic some problems but today came right out of the blue and was a concern. Hearts, who couldn't buy a win, could/should have scored 4 or 5, Celtic WILL murder us if we are so poor. This could fall into another game we give up the 3 points with a whimper, something that shouldn't happen if we see ourselves as a top six team.

Considering you berate "St Mirren" supporters for not being a super supporter (Who doesn't go to ANY games) you know next to feck all about football.

Callum Gilhooley Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Will be a massive task to take anything from this game, Septic will look on the weekend as 2 points dropped plus I’m sure they will be wanting to make amends for their 0-0 at Paisley in Dec. I don’t know much about how Stephen Robison sets up teams to play the ugly sisters but this certainly will test his tactics to the max. Heart says, Hoping for another bore draw, head says - let’s not get hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardog Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 For Saints to stay up every year is an achievement. Top 4/6 is something that is talked about but in reality is hard to achieve on the budget available. We went 12 games without winning earlier in season and i think Hearts showed on Saturday they were better in every position. One good result away from moving up table but couple of defeats would be at bottom end of table. Think 8th us more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started a Projection For 21/22 Topic which looks at positions at season end based on average points per game to date. I agree that 8th would be the current likelihood but things are very close.

Remember, it was a shadow of our first team but every one worked their socks off for the full 90 minutes, something which Hib done against them yesterday. Even that might not be enough but at least we need to show some desire to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting over the line with odd goal wins. Sat really wasn't a surprise. Few interesting weeks ahead. Interesting to see how Robinson goes about it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Saw an interesting post on Twitter about just how erratic and unconvincing, unreliable every team in the Scottish Leagues is! At the moment… apart from Kelty who were said to be most consistent… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how Robinson goes about it too Well "getting over the line" is better than drawing or losing games as we have in previous campaignhs. I think it's grossly unfair to reduce our "run" as "we haven't been that great". Sure, we're not Man City, but in this league most teams are average so to be pretty safe at thsoi stage with the chance to get into the top 6 is pretty decent.

DougJamie Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Tic are slighty better than Dundee no better than Hibs and poor and possibly relegation fodder in Norway... whats to fear 2-1 Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardog Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hope to see Tanser at left back and Tait at right back, Fraser needs benched as has been really poor for weeks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Unsure what to expect from this game tactically. Robinson's Motherwell faced Celtic 12 times , only lost 5 , but didn't win any. Most of the defeats were tankings ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our present points average per game and that of other teams in the league we would finish 8th but as little as two or 3 points more and we could..stress could finish 4th. Great league competition at the top, middle and bottom this year but not easy on the nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Even last match Tait offered the odd goal threat. And is he not being played out of position? He’s a grafter, committed. Yet again, Fraser isn’t a weakness…. all players have patches of poor form. McGrath lost it totally for a wee while. Maybe a Saudi-backed club will come in for them both?

Rascal Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Form goes up and down for all players. Our squad is, IMO, the strongest we have had for some time but the completion out there has also got tougher. Strange to think that had we played Dundee by now and won we would be 4th. What’s not to like. Speed isn’t amongst the tool set of either Fraser or Tait and, without cover, they can be exposed by quick footed wingers but both give 100 per cent and would be in my line up or bench.
