The Earl of Hathaway Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 41 year old keeper and no Murray Davidson tomorrow night, that'll do for starters. And we've signed one of Ratnamara's cast-offs. It's gonna be a disaster! Cannae wait. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might see the personnel of your first line up, and the formation of the second. Craigen in the front of the midfield means that we press further up the park, put more pressure on the ball and defend from the front (three cliches, apologies). I wouldn't expect to see Higginbotham, Lawless and Erskine in the same team as we might lose that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 You wouldn't really know there was a game on judging by the OS. I appreciate it's a re-arranged game but there isn't even any entry details up let alone a match preview. Match is on Radio Scotland tonight.

simoncordiner Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Best team for me is: Gallacher SOD Mair Balatoni MacMillan Muirhead Fraser Lawless Erskine Higginbotham Taylor I'd prefer not to have Muirhead in midfield but I'd prefer him to Craigen at defensive midfield; St Johnstone have a few dangerous players in that area. Mon the Jags, 3 points finally. Hopefully we'll see Erskine picking up the ball in space and linking the play. I don't have any issue playing Doolan as he links up so well with Erskine but first choice is still Taylor.

marco77 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Will be interesting to see Higginbotham and Erskine in the same team, both are "off the cuff" players but Erskine has more of an end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Gallacher SOD - Mair - Piccolo - McMillan Muirhead/Craigen - Fraser Lawless - Erskine - Higginbotham Doolan With Taylor coming on for Doolan in the second half at some point. Also probably give Elliott/Baird a game, and Forbes come on for Erskine at some stage as I don't know what kind of fitness he'll have. I appreciate he was in Dundee United's starting 11 at the weekend, but before this was he not injured? May not have the full 90 in him, especially if he was playing at the weekend. Not sure about who to play alongside Fraser, as I'm not particularly keen on either of them being played in that holding position, but needs must. At a push I'd probably say start Craigen, but I change my mind about this one all the time. Got a feeling we'll do it tonight and finally break that duck at home. Think it might be in our best interests to score late in the game so the team has less time to panic but I'll take any goals and a win to be honest. It's getting to the stage where I'd take 90 minutes of Stoke type football and 1 shot all game to get that home win, but fancy it tonight. This saints team are missing a few key players, and if the defence can do what they did to Boyd at the weekend against Stevie May, that should eliminate most of their threat, although obviously other players like Hasselbaink are a handful. Fancy 2-0 Thistle, Erskine and Doolan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Think we'll see a different sort of threat from May than we did from Boyd. He's a bit more mobile and direct than Boyd. Let's hope the defence don't give him the chance to face goal too many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhs Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Think we'll see a different sort of threat from May than we did from Boyd. He's a bit more mobile and direct than Boyd. Let's hope the defence don't give him the chance to face goal too many times. Agreed. May is a different challenge, he is more like McKay at Caley. I am confident we can keep May quiet though, he barely troubled us last season and we dealt with him well at Perth this season. Also, we have kept McKay quiet both games against Caley. Our defence don't tend to do badly against the "prolific" strikers, even Boyd in the last match. It is the wings I am concerned about. McMillan in his less comfortable slot (assuming he is left-back) and SOD hasn't been solid defensively recently. That coupled with possibly Higgy and Erskine in front of those players leaves us weak defensively down the flanks.
