 MATCH THREAD ~ DAFC v ST JOHNSTONE
Topic Originator: BigTpar1986  
Date:   Tue 21 Apr 17:14

Back to league business tonight. Fully expecting a few regulars to be rested up after a monumental performance on Saturday!

Would love the young team to stall the title party in front of the BBC cameras!

C’mon ye Pars!!

Should be a good crowd with over 3000 away fans, fancy us to get a point tonight and all but secure play offs

Really want a point tonight. Us losing is way too good for Rovers by keeping closer to us and making their Saturday game mean nothing for SJ.

I don’t think anyone in their right mind expects us to go out and win tonight. A point would be great but it’ll be a tough game. I doubt we’ll see much of the players who started on Saturday.

It`s Friday night btw.

Rovers we`re apparently absolutely dreadful on Saturday. They MIGHT catch Saints on holiday if they win tonight. Then they play County at home who are still desperate for points to finish 9th.

We also play a team with nothing to play for on Saturday and our last game is at home to a team who`ll be resting players for the 1st leg of the play off against us hopefully!

If we can`t get a point from those 2 we don`t deserve the play offs.

Surprising line up. Still with a few big players not starting that’s a good team. Nice to see really. Could be a good game.

Lets go out there and win - ruin their title party and secure our spot in the play offs ahead of the Rovers.

Then we can get players rested up with 2 games to go.

Lennon mentioned in one interview over the weekend he rolled his ankle during the week. Guessing it’s a bit worse than hoped, or just trying to allow him time off it and recovery time.

Fraser has mentioned he had an ankle knock before Sat too, but powered through. Wanted to play tonight but Lennon/medics told him to rest.

Here we go. Tash has done his hammy and Gilmour on.
It’s very risky.

A couple of usually good players are a bit off it tonight. Still not convinced by Morrison. Will be lucky to get a draw out of this.

We`re actually beating ourselves, gifting the ball back to them with shocking passing, mon pars get this sorted and don`t let them win the title on our turf

We have been poor tonight. Morrison a waste of a shirt, Kearney not up to scratch yet and Abdulai has had a rare poor game, Todd not good. I can’t complain too much considering what we got on Saturday though.

Oh dear!!, but not worried yet, Morriston ineffective, Todd`s invisible, to many bad passes. Stj are more physical and professional, ref has been awful regarding holding pushing in back jumping over the top.

I guess Lennon was right in one of his weekend interviews saying that we`d been playing really well of late but were still prone to performances falling off a cliff due to young squad etc.

St Johnstone way too good for us tonight but given the exertions of Saturday`s game it`s possibly not too surprising.

Well done saints , strongest team from the start of league. Helps when they also swept up all the forwards we showed interest in paton, fotheringham and fowler. ;p

I thought Amade got a hold of the game by the scruff when he came on, and Kano did well, battling and using his extra nouse and skills, even Kearney got a boost with them on, and a fightback looked possible. But we kept giving the ball away/ they were quicker than us to the ball/ it always seemed to break in their favour and they pressed like ferrets. we made two howlers that led within seconds to their goals. Nuru was giving me the fear. We missed Jeremiah, for sure. No lack of effort, just some bad decisions, lack of cohesion, and a better all-round display from the away team.

Better games and better days to come for us.

Bear in mind the ridiculous game schedule we`ve had and the fact that just 4 days ago these guys were through extra time and penalties too. The SFA are absolute clowns.

St Johnstone looked the better team overall, but both goals came from mistakes we made.

They were more streetwise (dirty/cynical) and that comes with experience. Hopefully one year from now we`ll be in the same position (if we don`t go up through the playoffs).
