Big Bevis not mentioned or any suspension for Tony Watt so hopefully that's good news. Watt not on the SFA suspension list, if Saturday’s booking took him over a threshold he would miss the Hibs game I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith's height will certainly come in useful when it comes to painting the rafters. Don't see too many ready to provide any help on the park so far to be honest. Robinson recommendations that Alexander doesn't fancy? I'd like to think that when this season is finished someone from the club will come out and explain the rationale behind this signing policy, whether we targeted these players and whether we knew what their fitness levels were and didn't really expect them to figure until the latter part of the season (which is fine by me if that was the case). Not expecting any trade secrets as such just the reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of thought Similar, the squad has been playing reasonably well up until Saturday so it has given the new boys a chance to integrate a bit more before being chucked in. Either way we have been EXTREMELY unlucky with injuries this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 At the best of times, Saturday would be a very tough game, but with our injury list it'll be a mountain to climb. In normal times I'd be hopeful of a win but with a likely makeshift defence? Much will depend on whether Mugabi and Grimshaw make it. Hopefully no more injuries before the weekend, but with our record, I'm not holding my breath. St Johnstone will play their usual game and will try to bully and hassle us from the off as Accies did. If we can match their work rate then that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players rested perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 No point worrying or complaining about injuries or bad luck. The time for that is when we are looking back at the season. Whoever plays in this game needs to step up and grind out a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 St Mirren playing Hamilton tonight, Accies will obviously want to right some wrongs in regards to that covid issue. I know it's imperative to get as far away from the bottom as we can but what would the ideal result from this game be? St Mirren win and it gets trickier to push for top six, with it being Accies game in hand they can potentially be just two behind us.

Funny the difference a week makes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need help from other to stop us being in relegation bother. Watching the St Mirren v Accies game. youd think it was being floodlit with a 10 watt bulb. **fuck me the commentators on St Mirrens stream seriously think they are fabulous.

supermarv Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Wouldn’t expect to see Mugabi feature any time soon, dislocated shoulder, Devine injured and Dec “injured”. Down to the bare bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Unless any of the new guys are fit it’ll need to be a back four of Johnston, O’Hara, Lamie and Carroll then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as optimistic as any 'Well fan, going so far to predict an uber rare win at Celtic Park two weeks ago, but even I scoff at the idea that top 6 is even remotely achievable now this season.

Despite the length of our injury list we may have an option or two at the back; maybe choose the least worst option, that's the best way to put it. You could have a back 4 of O'Hara, Maguire, Lamie and Carroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
