Burn_Broomfield Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 MUST, MUST WIN! At all costs. I don't care how we do it as long as we do it. Worryingly though, I'm not particularly confident we can go there and get a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could also leapfrog Accies. Anything less than 6 and we’re in deep shit. I’ve absolutely no doubt we’ll stick with the horrendous 3-5-2 but at least Dunne provides a bit of pace in there now. Cadden and a Main will continue to be shite but start, Tait will be out of position, and Johnson will remain on the bench. It’ll never happen but a version of Mcghee’s lop-sided 4-4-2/4-3-3 would be refreshing and I think we have the personnel to make it work. Carson Tait Aldred Hartley Dunne Cadden Campbell Turnbull Rose Bowman Johnson. Despite the turgid rubbish we’ve been served the last 6 weeks I actually think we’ll win here. Mainly due to St Mirren somehow being worse than us. 0-2, Bowman and Hartley. Fortunately the team mentioned here won't be the one taking the field, i think with both Dunne and ATS missing we might well see Adam Livingstone. Carson Tait Aldred Hartley Livingstone Cadden Campbell Turnbull Frear Bigi Johnson A line up with players comfortable in every position, no square pegs in round holes, players out wide who will hit the bye line, bigi in a free role, with no defensive responsibility, Turnbull dictating the game, Campbell for some bite. two full backs who can get up and down all day. plenty of options on the bench to change it up, main, bowman, Mchugh to tighten things up.

MelvinBragg Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I know I've banged this drum before but anyone suggesting a back four with Aldred and Hartley as centre backs needs their head read. Taylor-Sinclair being out added to Livingstone playing in the reserves yesterday pretty much puts to bed any notion of us playing a back four tomorrow anyway. It slightly amuses me that those claiming Robinson is too wedded to the 352 seem almost equally wedded to the idea that changing formation will help. Personally reckon it might just be that the majority of the players aren't good enough. That being said, it might be worth changing formation only to try and surprise the opposition. If Dunne is fit to play I'd go Carson Tait Aldred Maguire Dunne Turnbull McHugh Campbell Cadden Bowman/Johnson Frear Struggled to decide between Bowman and Johnson. Bowman is useful at dragging defenders out of position, creating space but Johnson looks a more natural finisher. Main? I'll pay his train fare back down south myself... Suspect a 0-0 is the very best we can hope for, hope I'm proved wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I thought the same with Livingstone, but he was pulled at half time which is why I went with it. If Dunne isn't fit he seems really the only viable option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully expect Tait and Cadden as wing backs in a 352... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellwell91 Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Nether Mbulu, Turnbull or Maguire were in the reserve squad yesterday Livingston only played for 45 minutes Whats the chances of them playing involved tomorrow night?

weeyin Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Might just be we have a couple of injury doubts so we wanted to make sure we had cover if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His early form was one of the reasons behind our OK-ish start to the campaign, although I'm the first to admit he had gone off the boil in his latter appearances. However, I don't think there is any prospect whatsoever of Robinson playing both Bigi and Turnbull in the same team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like we’ve rushed Dunne back too early. That could prove costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clackscat Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 When we are 'safe' I tend to miss some games/pick and choose but when we are in the sh#t I always go. Bit of a masochist I know, but no matter how bad we get, when the chips are down I just feel we got to support our club.Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 There is no way Robinson is going to change his formation tonight. You think he's played time after time after time with 3-5-2 and then he gets to a game that, even in our abysmal form are probably still favourites to win, and decides to change it? Tonight is his chance to prove the tactics and formation work enough to put a win on the board. Of course it's a big gamble for him but it would be a bigger gamble for him to change it. If we played a different formation and different players tonight and lost he'd have no where to go. For St. Mirren and Dundee he'll stand by the formation and players that got him here. These two matches are a last stand for everything the manager has believed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like St Mirren usually have a live stream (run by students from the University of the West of Scotland), so that suggests it will be available. Nothing confirmed on their (or our) official channels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm a bit worried that Robinson might see this game as a way to salvage Connor Sammon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
