However, what are the chances of that happening? Since we beat Motherwell in April, we have been absolutely terrible. The Hampden outing was a disaster and there was no fight against Caley Thistle or Motherwell. We looked like a team resigned to our fate and more and more fans - including myself - have accepted we will be playing in the first division next season. But we still have a great chance to stay up and Falkirk would love to be in our current position. However, if we're to get the points we need, every player has to start showing passion, commitment, fight and desire to get a result and keep our place among the elite. Many of them have played in the first division - surely they don't want to go back there?
A win tonight would also haul us above Kilmarnock. Their form this year has only been slightly better than ours, but they at least seem prepared to battle and scrap for every point that's going. Plus, they have Kevin Kyle. He may have been useless for Scotland, but he's suddenly doing a job for Killie. His battling style and physical presence has been causing defences problems in recent weeks and I'd be surprised if John Potter and Will Haining haven't been having nightmares about what he'll do against us. I certainly have - after all, we have no height in defence and Potter is dodgy (to put it mildly) at winning headers. Kyle could have a field day against us.
If we can't cope with him, we at least have to cut off the supply to him. The likes of Garry Hay, Craig Bryson and Jamie Hamill must be watched closely to ensure they don't get too many crosses into the box. Our last few games have shown that when a player is allowed to cross, it usually ends in disaster. Mehdi Taouil, Danny Invincible and David Fernandez are also capable of causing defences problems.
We definitely have our work cut out for us as Killie have far superior attacking players to Saints - and our defence will be dodgy tonight. Jack Ross is likely to miss the rest of the season, which will lead to an interesting backline. Gus MacPherson's confidence in Mo Camara has dropped so low that it looks like Scott Cuthbert will be at rightback, while David Barron continues on the left. That means Haining and Potter in the middle - up against Kyle. Bye bye SPL!
Part of the midfield picks itself. Andy Dorman, Hugh Murray and Steven Thomson will almost certainly start. The fourth slot will go to Garry Brady or Stephen McGinn. Stephen O'Donnell may be fit again, but the chances of him starting are slim as he is well short of match practice. Many Saints fans seem to be excited by the imminent return of Steven Robb, but he has even less fitness than O'Donnell and will be on the bench at best.
Another option is to move Dorman up front. Our injury crisis means Billy Mehmet and Dennis Wyness are the only fit strikers - neither of whom have looked good in recent weeks. By dropping one of them and moving Dorman up front, we might cause a few more problems. However, those messageboard pranksters insist Craig Dargo will make a shock return tonight - but if that happens, I wouldn't expect him to be anywhere other than on the bench. He has to be joined by Sean Burns. The youngster was missing from Saturday and if that happens again - and Dargo misses out - we'll have no strikers to bring on. Avoiding the Dargo and Robb issues, Jim Hamilton, Ross, Tom Brghton and Chris Smith are all out. Franco Miranda has played for the reserves but I'd be surprised if he was involved, despite the rantings of some forum users.
Tonight is the chance to turn our season around and take a huge step towards SPL survival. Will we grab it? No - I think Kyle will eat our defensive line as a late dinner before hammering in a few goals.
