Cove_Sheep Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What a difference Cammy Smith has made. He's played himself into the semi-final team I'd imagine. Nope. Flood will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Nope. Flood will start. Sadly, I fear you're right. Smith and Jack look a better combination than Flood and Jack though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sadly, I fear you're right. Smith and Jack look a better combination than Flood and Jack though. McInnes has a serious blind spot for him. Giving him a new contract back in August when he still had 2 years left was lunacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Shankland doesn't look out of place....I'm sure we'll see a lot more of him this season. Good to have another option up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove_Sheep Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 1-1 draw with the Dons hitting the post and bar multiple times. Almost correct then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrystarfish Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 1-1 draw with the Dons hitting the post and bar multiple times. Hope you had money on that. Fair result, St J should've stolen it several times in the last few mins there. McGinn invisible in the game. Hayes immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLT NY Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Didn't do enough to win it. And St Johnstone should have grabbed the 3 at the end. Not good enough, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoltanBuchan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Draw just about a fair result, but we could have easily lost it twice at the end there. Shankland was probably our biggest positive tonight (apart from the goal, obviously!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooky Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Baffling sub fae McInnes putting on Robson for Pawlett. Surely Shaughnessy or another for Pawlett would have been better? Allowing us to push Hayes forward and get back to our attacking 5? Despite the terrible start by Dons it's a missed opportunity for 3 points. Smith did well when he came on.

Redz Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Hayes really was wasted tonight.That's not responsible for dropping 2 points.St J played well, they were hungrier, won every 50 50, and thats fuk all to do with not having a reckognised left back. We lost the points higher up the pitch, more to do with application than positions. St Johnstone deserved to win that.

Rossy Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hayes really was wasted tonight. The folly of refusing to bring a left-back in. One defensive injury means that we have to re-jig something like 5 players in the side. Considine and Reynolds looked like they've never see each other, Hayes was wasted and a bit useless, Pawlett, McGinn and Goodwillie anonymous. Dinna start me on Flood. Jack and Smith carried the team, and despite all of the above, it was a game we should have won. Strangely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the squad capable of winning that. We didn't. That had everything to do with St J and absolutely effffff all to do with us not having a left back.

St Johnstone did absolutely f*ck all from the 35th minute to the 88th (I don't count them hitting the post when the guy was 2 yards offside). Aberdeen dominated for the best part of an hour. Given their 2 chances in the last minute, I'll say that a draw was maybe fair. No way in a million years did Saints deserve 3 points though.

The draw overall may just be right. However, they could/maybe should have been 2 or 3 up by that 35th minute you mention, and coasting. Nothing to do with not having a left back though. Everything to do with application. Human nature dictates that it's easier to remember the final passage of play, rathe than the former.

saintlyscot Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Excellent for Saints. After the shambles at Inverness and the amount of injuries we would have taken a point. Chris Kane on debut was superb. Top six should be attainable for us. Aberdeen...Hayes done well in a position clearly not suitable and if McInnes refuses to release Jack further forward he should probably start Smith. Otherwise they seemed to lack a bit of intensity all over the park. Great game which showed our game in a positive light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints application was better than ours for half an hour, but it can't be denied that the knock on effect of Taylor's injury really effected us. We were much better when Smith came on, pushed a bit further forward and allowed Jack to dictate the middle of the field. I still say that that Saints did absolutely nothing for 50 minutes, and we were by far the better team in that period. We didn't create enough clear chances though.

dandydunn Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We could've been 2 or 3 down after 8 minutes. Came back into it but not anywhere enough to win it. Great goal by Rooney and Browns saves at the end were tremendous. No complaints,may have to settle for a 3 way battle for second. Should keep things interesting.

StJ had 5 first team players out tonight. For 30 minutes they battered us. And created more than we did in the 50 you reference. We're poorer for not having a recognised left back, however, that did't cost us in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're poorer for not having a recognised left back, however, that did't cost us in itself. Neither team battered the other tonight, we both had spells in what was an entertaining match. Our lack of left back is a problem which sees our best player in Hayes become less effective. We should have started with shaugnessy at CB, considine at LB and hate snack in the middle with Jack.m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
