Topic: Pars v Saintees
21. Author: Dumpster Date: Mon 20th Apr 2026. 09:49 onandupthepars, Sun 19 Apr 22:59 Our main objectives are to: 1. secure a play-off place 2. win the cup 3. win promotion. I think there would be a very good chance that St Johnstone could achieve the first objective for us by avoiding defeat to the Rovers in Perth on Friday. Even if they don`t, it`s well within our capabilities to get the point we might need from QP or Arbroath. My choice would not be to try and win at all costs - what on paper is the toughest of our remaining league games - against the Saints, by risking our best players. I would field a team similar to the one that showed up well with a will to win against Airdrie. If it happens that, by Friday, we got nothing from the Saints, and the Rovers beat them, then we`d have to think of bringing out our big guns against QP. If we field our best players against St Johnstone and even one of them is injured or knackered, that could jeapordise our chances against the Hoops. At this stage, I would prioritise the need to maximise our chances in the play-off matches and the cup final by taking a calculated - but by no means desperate - risk, and protect our strengths. I would do that and see which way the wind blows on Friday after the Saints v Rovers. However, I fully support whatever NL decides. Agree with this. We need to take calculated risk and Lennon has very skillfully done so to date. We need to ensure we have players available for the run-in and cup final, and I have confidence Lennon will use the squad wisely. Reply
22. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Mon 20th Apr 2026. 10:22 We need to go as strong as we possibly can on Tuesday and get the play offs wrapped up then we can rest players for QP and Arbroath. We don’t want to have to bring the big guns out and they get results in the last 2 especially against Arbroath who we would playing in the playoffs. I’d imagine they’d be a few hard tackles put in during that game. Morrison I’d imagine will start on Tuesday and that’s why he was replaced during 90mins on Saturday. I don’t imagine we’ll see the likes of Mullen, Kane or Fraser on Tuesday. A. Tod, Matty and Gilmour I can see on the bench. Amade again was replaced in 90mins on Saturday probably with Tuesday in mind. Something along the line of Terrell Kearney Davidson Bene J. Tod Bray Amade Hammy Cooper Morrison Fyfe A. Tod, Ngwenya, Abdulai, Todd, Oakley-Boothe and Gilmour on the bench. Post Edited (Mon 20 Apr 10:25) Reply
23. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Mon 20th Apr 2026. 10:47 We also have the Fife cup final on Wednesday as well so it would be a shame to chuck all the young guys out on Tuesday when they’ve have played to get to a final. The only good thing is that if we go weakened tomorrow and get beat on Friday the rovers play so we would already know what we would need out of the Queen’s Park game Reply

25. Author: Jeffery Date: Mon 20th Apr 2026. 21:57 Courier reporting 2.5k tickets sold by lunchtime today to St Johnstone fans for tomorrow. The total is expected to reach 3k. They`re obviously coming expecting their promotion to be confirmed. Great week financially for the club. Reply
26. Author: DA-go Par Adonis Date: Mon 20th Apr 2026. 22:09 Fair to say that none of the changes Lennon made on Saturday were made with tomorrow night`s game in mind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equal rights and justice in this time Reply
27. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 13:48 Just checking ticket sales, we ain`t exactly packing it out! Thought that there would have been a "bounce" from the weekend? Reply

Thought that there would have been a "bounce" from the weekend? I thought the same and looking forward to it, however i suspect some are maybe prioritising the playoffs. Not a cheap period for our fans with potentially 6 playoff games and the final to look forward to. Reply

30. Author: SusieQ Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 15:08 Add in the WC too - I probably won`t get to any of the playoffs games now we have a cup final. COME ON YE PARS! Reply
31. Author: Par Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 17:21 Hopefully the price of the play off tickets can be reduced, we have the unexpected bonus of the final plus the unbudgeted play offs, so would be a nice gesture for fans. Reply
32. Author: Parfect69 Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 17:27 Did NL not say it was full throttle get the cup semi onwards. Albeit with a lot of the players looking gubbed after extra time Saturday Reply
33. Author: Par Date: Tue 21st Apr 2026. 17:36 I think it will be the strongest team he can field, taking into account fitness after Saturday and get the job done, then players can be managed for the last 2 league games. Reply
