Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hopefully it's a win at this game. My son is due to be the mascot for the game as part of his birthday the Monday before it. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I usually feel that international breaks always come at a bad time for Saints and interrupt a period of improving form. That's not the case this time. Several players will have banked valuablle training and rehab hours by the time this comes up and I am hoping that we see Tait back in the squad with Boyd-Munce getting close to match-fitness.

Plenty of teams have made top six with smaller budgets than us -Livi have managed it several times - finishing half way up a shan league is hardly something to be proud of, but it’s been the stated aim of the manager since the day he arrived. We are simply judging him by his own standards and objectives. Perfectly reasonable objective too, given we were in the top six the day he walked through the door. Livi’s run in is clearly easier than ours, they don’t even play another top six team much while we have two away games against the top three. If their form is poor then what is ours? We have one win in our last seven - at home County. Livi have two wins in their last seven, at home to Killie and County. I actually think we will beat them in two weeks. Our home form in the league has been the only real positive this season and we’ve already beaten them once in Paisley. I think we beat them in two weeks and they overtake us in the two games after and we go into the final game against Killie needing to better their result. Our home form is the only real positive!! I am unsurprised why in so many cases I’m sitting next to fans booing and moaning about their team. We have been much much worse. Our home form is excellent and if we’re not happy with top 6 what’s the ideal?Euro Football, world domination? Having sat through some real dross (most of the 90’s) this is like a golden age. More people should be happy with where we are regardless of how Livvy get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell actually look good now and it's entirely possible that Liv will lose both so we probably need to beat Livi and Killie while avoiding a heavy defeat to the scum if we are to finish in the top 6 I also repeat my beilef that we will do Hearts, even a draw would be good but I think we have the beating of them if we can just get a goal or two. I am really hoping that Watt can get back to fitness and offer something tangible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really hoping that Watt can get back to fitness and offer something tangibleHearts fans are unhappy with their players & manager in a big way they didn't look great v us but somehow got 4 points from 6 when it should really have been other way around. I think we will need something from Hearts or we will miss out and can see it being last 5 minutes heartbreak like v Hamilton. Our terrible away form and 1 point from 6 v ten men St Johnstone will ultimately be the reason we don't make it if that is what happens.

beyond our ken Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I prefer not to look back at the shocking decisions that caused us to only draw in Perth, looking forward, we need to do what everyone wants which is beat Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said, our home record in the league has been excellent, a real and tangible positive from this season. We are simply judging Robinson by his own target - he came in and said he wanted to make us a top six club. Let's see if he can reach his own objective. To say 'we have been much worse before' has almost always been true and it was true in the dark days of the 90's too - in 1974 we finished 29th in Scotland!

I don’t think that Robbo’s aspiration for top 6 is any different from my own as a fan. Too many Manager’s have been toppled by fans lack of realism. If he manages that then onto the next step. The Cup comment is interesting. Danny won a cup but ultimately it was the League form that stopped him getting a new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a never ending agenda against Lennon that was eye-watering. PS When he mentions, for the umpteenth time, our cup performances, he conveniently omits it was Celtic that put us out of the Scottish cup, no real shame in that.

Aye, who needs extra money which, in turn, allows us to attract better players, which in turn increases our chances of going further and even winning a national trophy. Much better kicking about the bottom end of the league, playing the shittier teams and being forever a bottom feeder club. Jeezo!

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 f**k it. I’ve decided to come up for this one. Need to be in London for work on the Thursday and Friday so instead of flying back on Friday evening I’m just going to train it up to Glasgow Friday afternoon and flying back to Jersey from Glasgow on Sunday. Don’t think I’ve seen us fail to win at home to Livi so hopefully that trend continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo is turning the club around and making watching us good again. Well home form anyway. It’s absolutely terrific to be away from the relegation zone. Our work rate without the ball from front to back has been incredible turnaround. If I had any criticisms they would be: - quite one dimensional. I’d like to see us vary our style. As an example we continue to throw these long throw ins and invariably these come to nothing. - obviously we don’t score enough goals. I think we create enough chances but we just lack a good striker. They unfortunately cost a great deal and invariably they can’t hit their own arse when they sign for us! - the omission of big Joe has been baffling considering suspensions to central defenders. - we have not progressed at times when we have secured a good result. As an example we should have put some daylight between ourselves and a poor Aberdeen side after we won away. Now we are back chasing them. That was a key point in the season when we did not capitalise on that result. - we were very unlucky against Hearts in two key games which would have propelled us higher up the table - we have not been able to kill off poor sides like Dundee Utd away. We have obviously dropped many points away from home against some poor sides. Much improved though - but I feel that it’s a missed opportunity this season to nail a European place.
