weeyin Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Miller isn't going to start every game. If you want our youngsters to develop then their game time needs to be managed, even if they are fully fit. Plus, of course, none of us know any details about who is injured and who isn't. SK knows Robinson's side is going to try and muscle us off the park, so we need a some size in the midfield, at least for the first 45 mins or so. I guess SK's unbeaten away record isn't sufficient to avoid criticism before this match even kicks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Any links at all? I’ve gotten quite used to watching every game, it’s frustrating on the rare occasion we don’t get to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real dosser Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 MJC It has been mentioned elsewhere that Biereth arrived with an injury and Arsenal put conditions on his loan regarding his game time at the start of his loan. Would expect to see him at some point later in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Folk been calling for Davor to get a start and now Lennon's dropped so they're raging. Seems like sensible move in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we’re not coming back from that and even if we did we’d only go on to concede again or lose on penalties. The only way we would have won today was if we had scored first and held on. Motherwell just do not win these type of games in Cup competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Why when we take big crowds do we always fuck up. Early days in the game but St Mirren are a hard nut to crack down there. I'd take a draw and penalties now. 🫣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but the wins are very, very few and far between. Since the 2017/18 season we have only managed to beat a top flight side in a Cup competition on two occasions. Our record is utterly woeful. 1 minute ago, bobbybingo said: Like we didn't win the QotS game last month, you mean? I refer you to my above comment. We manage to do okay in run of the mill ties against lower league sides, usually, but put us against a top flight team in the Cup and it usually ends badly.

pretzel Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Just now, StirlingDosser said: St Mirren must have some sort of record for knocking us out cups... They have some record in recent times. I remember us beating them at Love St when Clarkson and a young Darren Smith scored in ET. Then later in the season we were pumped 3-0 but perhaps worth forgetting that as they were in the league below at the time as well. A Jim Gannon team also lost 3-0 to them, a week earlier we drew 3-3 in a league tie as well. Then we have had that 4-4 draw then lost on pens and not to mention Billy Mehmet knocking us out in a replay. It's not going great atm as we have had one shot in the 35 minutes.

September 2005 was the last time we beat them in a Cup tie. 2-0 AET at Love Street in the League Cup. Before that we beat them 2-1 in Paisley in 2001.
