Beauty of a third for st mirren. Been easy street from them really.
3-0. That's a great finish.
Just like we were against Motherwell after a much better result against Luzern?Quote:

I think it's also the fact they have hardly even had to come out of second gear. We had to really work for the games against Luzern.Quote:

Always liked Goga. Definitely looks better as a CB thoughQuote:

Fair enough. It's possible to say that they're rested and confident. I'd hope we are even more so.Quote:

We scored 6 in Europe on the Thursday night then lost to them on the Sunday in the opening league game last year. Need to take advantage of them only playing tonight and hopefully having an eye on next week.Quote:

Robinson will have St Mirren sharp and organised. Just hope Gray does the same for us.Quote:

Well we’ll just have to make sure we get one of the available spots by getting the finger out and securing third place and we’re more likely to do that if teams like st Mirren drop down from their ‘superior’ position. We want to see a big dent in their confidence.Quote:

Third Place in the league wouldn't even guarantee a European spot. It's vital for future years too. You really should care about the coefficient!
Also the longer St Mirren stay in Europe, the more likely they are to falter in the league.
He would have improved Maloney's team greatly though. He did have a poor start to that season no doubt, but why does everyone forget about his previous season where he was very good for us and helped us to third?Quote:

Hardly ***ting it but I just think we will be lucky to take anything. They will be buoyed by tonight and have hardly had to break sweat really. Vente looks like he couldn't score to save himself so we are relying on goals coming from elsewhere. St Mirren have options up top we don't.Quote:

In the semi v Hearts we had Lewis Stevenson at CM alongside JDH. I'd think we could still have used him on occasion. I'd have rather had him at CH than Rocky as well. It just gets me that some people aren't allowed to make a few mistakes. Others, like Porteous got away with loads of mistakes.Quote:

FWIW, the system was woefully suited to many of our players, not just Gogic.
I think Gogic's passing is much better than you give him credit for. Maloney was also clueless. Gogic was a cut above several of the players that regularly played in his team. Just because Maloney wouldn't have put him in that system ( I agree with you on that) doesn't mean he wouldn't have improved the team IMO.Quote:

He'd be a good player to have considering what our bench will be like on Sunday too.
He'd improve a solid team that done the basics. He would've cost us a goal every week on Maloneys side. Guys like Campbell and McGinn cost us vital goals because of their inability to play that system.Quote:

Wouldn't be worrying too much about St Mirren. Folk thought we were a decent side after knocking Lucerne out. We weren't.
Teams who have aspirations of playing in Europe do, which generally would mean us... :rolleyes:Quote:

Gogic was a player we were all screaming to get in the door then couldn't wait to get shot of him. Football is a funny old game.Quote:

Huns to give hertz a bit of a skelping today would be nice 🤞
A truly attritional game where both teams grind each other down to the point that it destroys their respective seasons would be nicer.Quote:

Might just be cause I hate them, but that starting XI for hearts isn't that great. Aye, they have some amount of options off the bench. Still ***** though.
Yam fuds full of themselves on jokeback 😄
I think hearts get a result here, that rangers team is so poor.Quote:

That Taylor looks rapid!
Dhanda rattles the bar
Odd Naismith buys Spittal and Dhanda who play behind the striker
He then benches spittal, ours Dhanda off the right and drops their 30 goal striker into the number 19 position
In fairness to hearts they’ve started really well
Rangers are all over the place at the back every time hearts come forward
