St Johnstone v Celtic, Sunday March 1st, KO 3pm, Premier Sports 1 Scottish Cup

Fair enough if I picked up wrong

There's no doubting that even though we're the only team no through to the semis yet....we'll be overwhelming favourites to win the treble now..

 

I hope the team bounce back, after getting knocked out by Cluj the players looked * against Dunfermline

 

Play the strongest team then hopefully take a few of the best players off once the game's won.

 

We need to mix up the side tomorrow to ensure there's no flatness to our performance.

Frimpong needs to be in the side, Christie too, maybe even Griffiths. I don't want to see Simonovic, Soro or Klimala

 

I think all 3 will start..

Christie will be massive as he gives us that energy anyway but will be fresh..

Frimpong will come in I think and Griff only got a short cameo. I'm sure we'll go 3-5-2 tomorrow here again..

 

Forster
Ajer Jullien Bitton
Frimpong Christie McGregor Taylor
Elyounoussi
Griffiths Edouard​

 

Big day tomorrow, let's do the business and get Thursday night out of our system.

 

Just don’t * this one up as well as Thursday.

 

Griff and Eddie up top with Christie in behind. gg ez

 

Am pretty confident, a few tweaks will give us new energy, Christie Thumb Jerry in and we will be fine, only concern is weather may be a bit of a leveler.
Aside, anyone know when Huns play game in hand, will be before the split?

 

Won’t be before the split.

 

Don't know about Frimpong but I suspect we will see Christie in from the start in midfield which is a real boost and Griffiths in from the start up top alongside Edouard. A show of character and a real response needed tomorrow.

 

Certainly does including a goal in the 3-0 win there last month. Be big to see him get back to goal scoring form tomorrow.

 

Even slippy G used the word relentless to describe our form since the return from the winter break. There is no question our form has put pressure on them and so far they have not been able to handle it.

 

And that is a massive * up by those running the game. Suppose it was crucial regards being in the top 6 (say St Johnstone were 7th and 2 points off 6th place).

RULE CHANGE NEEDED - All pre split games must be played before the split.

If that means that they have to play during the winter break then so be it. Lets not wait until a scenario arises that involves teams qualifying for top 6 or dropping into bottom 6

 

I heard somewhere that they had the chance to play the game around December time but didn't like the amount of games they already had to play and saw it as an advantage that they had one less to play than us that month. They have * that up big time haha

 

Will it not need to be if St Johnstone have a chance of making top 6, which they currently do.

 

Honking weather again and looks like it’ll be very windy in Perth come KO. Their pitch looked honking against Sevco as well so this will be one for the purists methinks.
2 nil the good guys and keep turning the screw !

 

Any chance this might not go ahead? There has been some amount of rain overnight.
