weeyin Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I remember a game against them years ago when they were also bottom of the league. It was a nice sunny evening towards the end of the season, and if St Johnstone lost, their relegation was confirmed. Standing on the East Terrace, I watched us stroll to a 4 - 0 victory. This game will be nothing like that one - but I think we'll win, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ped_MFC Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 I also remember a game at Fir Park, the last game of the season, when St Johnstone had to win to stay up. and we needed the win to clinch second. I'm sure they beat us 2-1 allowing Aberdeen to pip us for 2nd. At the end their 'keeper Andy Rhodes (Jordan's auld man) was giving it big licks with his celebrations in front of the Well fans until word came through that other results had gone against them and they'd still been relegated on goal difference.

GazzyB Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Would be a real shame if we lost this one after our recent form. With Hibs playing Aberdeen and Dundee Utd at Ibrox this is a great chance for us to pull away from some teams below us. Let’s get the win, 1-0 to us with Tony Watt getting the goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 It would be nice to have some defenders back. However, given we stood up to Celtic with a depleted squad, you would hope we could cope with St Johnstone at home. Not that it always works that way. Hoping the new change of tactics / philosophy continues. If it does we should cause them problems with our front 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren game is in question, as is the Dundee United vs Rangers game. There's going to be call offs up here like there already has been down south, whether or not we get affected is anyone's guess. I could see them suspending all games just now and then having the winter break a bit earlier to see of things calm down. Danger then is if they don't calm down and there's a fixture back log.

I've heard this Omicron strain is up to 70 times more infectious as it infects the windpipe rather than air sacs deep in the lungs. The way they are talking this is going to be the biggest Covid challenge yet and the likelyhood is that it is going to effect every club in the next month or so.

Its affected St Johnstone today, and who knows it may have affected us. Time will tell just how serious this variant is. In terms of today's game, St Johnstone will provide well organised and hard working opposition to try to nullify us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 We'll see how Donnelly does but disappointed that Maguire is not playing, he's not in the squad so you have to assume he's not been dropped and there is another reason. Otherwise much as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&A not the shop Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Slattery being dropped is a strange one, especially with Maguire being unavailable. I'm guessing he's been ill so they don't see him lasting 90 minutes bit don't have many other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
