Hibs v St Mirren, Sunday 31st Aug

[faraway saint]

The tough games keep on coming and Hibs away will be a real test.

It's strange that we could go into September without a league win and still be feeling quite confident.

The good thing is they could be a wee bit fatigued after a European game, and deflated as I suspect they will go out.

Cracking gesture by Hibs, popping £30k behind the bar in the fanzone for the travelling support. 👏👏👏

Watched the Hibs game last night and they were so unlucky, they played brilliantly at times and I honestly felt gutted for them getting knocked out.. 

Its going to be a hard ask to take the 3 points here but hopefully there heads will still be down after last night's result..

And only the width of the crossbar stopped a shot from close on 40 yards probably winning the tie for Hibs.

I really think if we get a draw here it will be a good result. Hibs in my my mind are far stronger than Rangers 

[BanburyBill]

The thing is faraway if we keep picking up the points it will get easier as the season progresses. Tomorrow I really don’t know if we get a point all good. If we don’t it’s not the end of the world. If I’m being honest I t think Hibs may win

[BanburyBill]

I hope I’m completely wrong 

[BanburyBill]

I’m not doing an Elvis by the way

Hello Elvis 

[guinness]

Big games coming up are Falkir k and Dundee. These are the games we normally cannot win. This season we will probab!y not do as well against the top teams as we did last season so we have to start beating the bottom sides. This has been problem for us in the past.

We have a settled starting XI. I think three games on the trot. That should bring confidence.

Looks like a nice day in Edinburgh.

King on for Phillips. (Injury.)

King has gone as sweeper, and Gogic in midfield.

[faraway saint]

Not a lot in it, Hibs have slightly more on attacking but nothing that our defence can't handle. 

We should be looking to get our goalie signed up on a long term deal. 

 

[Qarsaan]

I hope that 88KP is OK after his injury, and performs for Ireland next weekend.

StM seem to have done OK from that enforced change. Game is fairly even and could go either way.

[Qarsaan]

Freckleton off his tummy and it's 1-0 for StM.

Yes. Bad at corners ... I thought no one else noticed that. Needs to be worked on.

 

[Qarsaan]

Full time 1-1..

 Take the point and run.

We were so wasteful today, especially since their equaliser. 
 

A wee bit more composure in our passing and play, it could have been a different story. In saying that, over the game with the Hibs chances a draw seems a fair result. 
 

Improvements to be made for sure, after the international break. 

[faraway saint]

1-1 final score. 

A wee scare at the death as it looked close for the penalty.

A great point and we go into Sept with only 1 defeat from as tough a start as was possible. 

[Saint@Johnstone]

Will watch highlights later, sounded like a scare right at the death. Admiration to those posters on here able to update the match whilst attending to game. Multitaskers supreme.

Great point Saints,well done 🏁👏🏁
