David Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I thought this thread could do with an early introduction, maybe help to balance out the hysterical reactions we'll have regarding todays result. This is a must win game. If we're looking to finish third we have to take a minimum of seven points from our home games against the Saints & United, and our away game at Hearts. Anything less than that and we'll only have ourselves to blame for not taking advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity to play Champions League football.

GazzyB Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Biggest game of the season, absolutely must win game. 1-1, Higdon for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain7_mfc Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Drop Hateley, Daley and Carswell and bring in Lasley Murphy and Saunders. Get Law back on the left wing to get the old Hammell Law partnership back, Lasley will be in the middle with Jennings and Murphy up beside Higgy! Let's go back to the way we played in the first half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplewell Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 2-1 us, higdon and hutch to score MUST win. will this one be on the telly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 If the club are smart they'll slash prices for both our remaining home games. We need as many arses on seats as possible. I can't remember such a vital end to a season in years. We need to create a big match atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebsbarmyarmy Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Huge huge huge game for us. As has been said its a very much win game if we have any aspirations for 3rd. Lasley back for Carswell, Ojamma in for Daley and go back to 4-4-2. Got to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The Humph has done well lately, so to drop him would be harsh. Clancy, Hately, Carswell, Higdon out and Page, Saunders, Lasley, McHugh in. But the boss doesn't do wholesale changes, so it'll be 'as you were' and more disappointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same team as today i would go for less (Daley) and give Murphy another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 As well as that, Saints struggle with pace at fullback, especially if its Maybury. Humphrey could have a good day out there if he gets a run on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Humphrey has roasted Maybury a good few times over the last couple of years. Ive got faith, we're third in the league for a reason. 4-1 Motherwell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Ok, I'm pretty angry from that today still, but for me, the players have chucked it. The recent performances at Rugby Park, Easter Road and then today are proof enough for me that the players don't have the mental strength when the going gets tough and the pressure is on and further more after that starting line up and tactics today from McCall, I have serious doubts that he is able to make the correct decisions also. Don't know what the score will be, but haven't seen anything lately to suggest this will be anything other than another defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't lost a home league match to a non Old Firm side since Inverness beat us in mid January. St Johnstone will also be under pressure coming into this game, especially after losing to United at the weekend so it's hardly as if all of the pressure is on us.

I'm definitely not Humphrey's biggest fan as I think he has obvious flaws in his game but he's been one of the best performers over the past few weeks and our main attacking threat. He was the only one causing the smellies any issues today and his delivery's certainly better than Hateley's at the moment.

Ballso Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 How about when he picked out henrik to score against rangers? Only 3 games ago... It's plain to see you don't like him but be fair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Their will be varying degrees of pressure across all the three sides for the remainder of the season and the timing of the fixtures will have a bearing on that. Dundee Utd have the opportunity to crank it up on us and Saints with their game kicking off at 1230 on Saturday but with that will come a level of expectation from their supporters that they will be in 3rd place by 3 o'clock. The outcome of that will surely have to have some impact on our game a short while later. Ludicrous as it may sound if Utd bottle it against Hearts and we get three points against St Johnstone there's a scenario with us playing the night before that could see us 9 points ahead with them having to go to Ibrox. With three games left that would be pressure. Now I can't see them losing to Hearts and us getting six from six but it illustrates the potential for pressure to pushed back and forth. At the moment though I await Saturday with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. It's pretty much last chance saloon for St Johnstone. How that will affect their strategy I don't know. First game here I thought dire as we were, they were superb on the break. Last time it was a bit more toe-to-toe. Knowing they need to win I can't see them sitting back and trying to catch us on the break. As for us? Time for the team to step up to the plate really. The bit is getting to the bit.
