St Johnstone Roll Call & Match Thread

[PittodriePile]

Tough game on Saturday, would be silly to expect too much from this game in my opinion. Sad state of affairs when a point would be a decent result for us. Super J's have been somewhat of a bogey team again for us this season.

In / Oot - In

Furryboots - The normal bit behind the goal this time, think there was a flood earlier in the season that had us moved.

Pre - In the weeg on Friday so train through Saturday morning. Straight to pub.

Post - Train back to Aberdeen.

Prediction - Another draw, 1-1.

Now now...I pick attacking teams so we shouldn’t really worry about my three man defenders The anchor man on the other hand will pick a defensive formation which will probably cause us to drop points again. But hey ho enjoy watching the once michty playing another turgid game.

Pretty fair summaries all round.

A solid if unspectacular performance. 2-0 probably flattered us a little but a win down there is always a good result.

Shinnie was immense again. Bossed the midfield and got forward for 2 superb strikes. We need that next Sunday.

Ball also excellent. Given the paucity of options he's the best we've got for RB just now so hopefully he keeps it up. Lets see how he goes on Wednesday ahead of the big one.

Nobody else particularly stood out for me though they all did a job. Agree the goal saving tackle from Considine was excellent and very important to the overall result at the end of the day.

Special mention for the ref though. Don't think I've ever seen a ref let so much go in a match before - for both teams to be fair.

I lost count of the number of times I thought, "that's a foul" only for nothing to be given. I'm all for letting the game flow, but he was in danger of losing control of that one at times, and there were a few pretty wild challenges flying about as a result when he failed to clamp down.

So onwards & upwards to Wednesday. Another team who will sit in a try to frustrate us at home. Hamilton are s'hite, but so are St Mirren. We need to find the solution this time....

Oh and by the way pal, have you seen the Traffic cones goal saving tackle and do you admit it resembles an example fo the broken clock

Certainly didn't resemble a traffic cone.
He was alert to cover for Ball going to sleep and being the wrong side of Kennedy

Ball also excellent. Given the paucity of options he's the best we've got for RB just now so hopefully he keeps it up. Lets see how he goes on Wednesday ahead of the big one.

I think Ball had an ok game, certainly decent going forward, but was prone to letting Kennedy get away from him and being caught the wrong side.
I counted at least 4 times he let Kennedy get away from him.

He's not a natural defender and doesn't seem to see danger like Considine did with his goal saving block.

McKenna is suspended min so that's nae happening.

Back 4 with Dom Ball at RB is my guess even though it gives me the fear...

I’ve not paid much attention this week.
Is Logan definitely out?

If so
Lewis
Ball Devlin Considine Lowe
McGinn Ferguson Shinnie GMS
Stewart
Cosgrove

Not a chance we’re keeping a clean sheet with that back 4.
