St Mirren

[jardi]

We have a huge cup tie on Saturday and with the Buddie's bringing around 1400 supporters we need to turn out in large numbers to make sure the atmosphere is electric on Saturday!

Definitely need to fans back inside Palmerston again. The performance last week was encouraging so here?s hoping they approach the game with the same attitude.

We need the team to be fully committed and on the front foot from the start to give them a real scare and then you never know what the outcome may be. Mon the South 👏👏.

We need to stay in this game as long as possible as St Mirren have some real threats. Playing for bits of halves won't win the game. Last year's game against Dundee United shows what can happen in a cup game so come on boys let's have a go.
Enjoy the game Doonhamers.

The gulf between the clubs was not too great, as shown by the statistics and certainly towards the end Queens had St Mirren very nervous until the tie was ended with breakaway goal at the end immediately after the late penalty decision which did not go our way. Fine margins again but that was a reasonable performance against a Premier league side.

I agree in principle Spike, but with a bit more guile we could have taken more from the game. I have to say I was infuriated by setting up our game plan as exactly the same as the first half of the league season, which has been an abject failure??.. so why attempt the same trick against a team 2 leagues above?
We were unfortunate with the first goal from the long throw, but the team should have been aware of that tactic. Dickensen was in a class of his own causing real problems in the St Mirren defence so we were unlucky to go two down, but again we allowed a free header.
In the 2nd half, Murphy was far too slow to change things up, - but when we scored he should have thrown on McKechnie and Walker to scare the living daylights out of St Mirren.
Once they took off their goal scorer they looked ordinary and if Brooks had been given the penalty which looked a stick on - I think Queens would have taken them to penalties or sneaked a win.
Alas that is not to be, but we could and should have taken our chances in terms of changing personnel. That being said, Queens didn?t look 2 leagues apart.

I felt pretty pessimistic at 2 down and the Saints looking ominous for a third but at 90 minutes I felt better about the team. They could have easily buckled but stuck together and might have snatched an improbable equaliser with a strong penalty shout before the sucker punch. For me Gogic catches Brooks with a forearm and none of the ball.
Brennan was a threat throughout, Benji took a lot of responsibility and Hannah looked as though he could play for St Mirren although we played some nice stuff after we made the subs.
Special mention for St Mirren's 17 year old with 2 assists and a quarterbacks throw. One to keep a watch on.

I am sure Dickenson performance yesterday did not go unnoticed but hopefully his injury record keeps the wolves from the transfer door.

Agreed, Dickenson would have been one of St Mirren?s first picks if he was in their squad ?..he could easily play at that level?.. but as you rightly say he is injury prone.
