MrBored Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thats more like it. Well deserved and probably should have been more. Was slightly concerned Dundee would score late and we would have to hang on, but other than one decent save from Clark they were never really in it. Pity we don't play like that each week.

Strawman Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Miguel Simao was an absolute gent today. Normally ex players visit directors / hospitality etc brief appearance on touch line and that's it. Miguel was at the Super J s, Main Stand, watched game from the East, happily posed for photos, chatted to folk, mover over nearer the FCU lads in second half, obviously enjoying his day. In return he got a great reception. rickardo, ex-montrosesaintee, Coltrane and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bonham Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 What I want.. Clark Foster - Ando - Joe - Easton Muzz - Millar Wotherspoon - Alston - Swanson Maclean Let the three behind Macca rotate with each other and get forward in support of him, press high up the park with Muzz and Millar picking up the midfield scraps. What we'll get.. Clark Foster - Joe - Scobbie - Easton Alston - Paton - Craig - Swanson MacLean - Cummins Central midfield wont cross the halfway line while the two front men struggle to do anything against Dundees back three, Alston will be subbed off after 65 minutes despite it looking like hes starting to create chances.

andrew Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I know they're different players but a couple of us were contrasting the performances of Danny and Liam. The former tended to stay in the one place and not track back or make forward runs, while the latter was everywhere, covering where needed and getting forward. Good to see Liam's experience and effort contributing to the win. Danny wasn't at his best from the start, losing possession on his first two touches.

Liam gave everything today & was fecked near the end. Danny is now wanting that extra touch. Early in the season he was acting for fun & shooting on site.

Templar Saint Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Who'd of thought it? A clean sheet without Ando, despite Scoberesie playing, great win Mmmmmmmmmm and B Easton wearing the armband and performing like a captain driving the team on with his performance. mmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Liam's experience and effort contributing to the win. Danny wasn't at his best from the start, losing possession on his first two touches. Danny faded and gave up too easily - he's a talented player but too often is making the wrong decision and losing possession. And he doesn't track back or cover the way Liam, Paton or even Alston does. Couple of times in the 2nd half when it happened Liam gave him an earful. Makes you wonder about how his going public re the contract situation has affected his relationship with the other players in the dressing-room.

Dave H Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Great tempo from the start which won us the game. Great attitude and really pleasing to see so many play well. No game last weekend looks to have recharged the players we have available. I think that was Zander's most quietest games... Long may that continue. Zippy dominated up top. Great shift. Alston and Paton mybstand outs in midfield. Great defensive unit performance. Macca masterful. Craig and Swanson playing well. All knitted into a dominant win. Happy days. Turned up today not expecting much and turns into one of the best home performances this season. Where have you been all season at home!

Jenko82 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well that was definitely what was required. The team line-up wasn't too inspiring and I was more than happy to be proved wrong. Paton and Craig were great today showing lots of energy and snapping in to challenges preventing the Dundee midfield getting the ball down. Joe was superb at right centre back today, good vision for the first goal. Easton was tremendous and as said above drove the team forward. I would have given one of the young strikers a chance later on when Cummins had given up chasing down loose balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Dallas the ref. Wasn't too confident before,now less so. Actually thought he was good to us today. Every time I am not confident we do well & vice/versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Now that is how I like my fitba. Great performance by Saints today. It had everything you'd want from your team in a local derby. Passion, fight, energy, shit loads of energy. A fabulous tempo ( for most of the game). Some outstanding performances. Liam Craig is a player who really knows what a game like this means to the fans. He got stuck right in. Alston was superb. And then we have Paul Paton. What a performance from the boy. Fought like a tiger for every ball, harried th...e hapless Dees whenever they had the ball. Tenacious and then some. Capped it with a brave headed goal The back four were outstanding and the keeper when he was called upon made a great reaction save. Even Cummings had a decent game although how he missed that back post header early on only god knows. My cat could have scored that ( if I had a cat). Macca was Macca. Did some good stuff, was a bit nippy at times and a bit stupid at times. Wee Danny though looks so off the pace and low it's unbelievable. Should have been more, a lot more but a great 3 points. ( I think maybe Tommy had 2-0 Saints on his coupon as we reverted to the usual in the last 20 minutes and sat deep and had no intention of trying to kill the game with a third) Dundee we shit. The crowd was shit. Finally, the referee, Shugs laddie. ****ing clueless ( for both sides) He actually grinned at me when I roared " you're a ****ing embarrassment" Nae wonder at £800 plus for a game. He's laughing all the way to the bank. At least d*** Turpin wore a mask. Wage thieving b******. COYS Broggy Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
