RandomGuy Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Over reaction on the wider web is a bit mad. Folk genuinely wanting Wright gone when we're sitting sixth FFS. It's a bad spell, a realy bad spell, but sacking TW would be utter suicide and I can't believe it's genuinely being suggested Edited October 28, 2017 by RandomGuy Havana Saint, Denzil and templeofsaints 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Its no surprise is it...we are paying for not buying any strikers We brought in Johnstone & let Kane go on loan. A lot of guys on here don't rate him but I am sure he would have got a goal in one of these games. akuram and crieffsaintandy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) You yourself just pointed out that we are teetering on a cliff ledge with regards to plunging deep into the bottom 6, especially looking at the games coming up No goals in 5 games can't be ignored as a stand alone fact and doesn't bode well. It's not like we have a star striker out injured as an excuse. In fact it's worse, our main goal threat will be heading back west soon enough Whats the confidence level in Tommy sirting out the striker issue? Not got a great track record at unearthing hidden gems up front Edited October 28, 2017 by Edstar101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we have a star striker out injured as an excuse. In fact it's worse, our main goal threat will be heading back west soon enough We're in poor form, heading down the way and look like a bottom half side. I still don't think we should be even talking about sacking Wright though. It's narrow losses, and according to Thistle fans we absolutely battered them for a spell today, but just couldn't get the final pass right. For the past three seasons, in terms of goals per chance, we've been above average, so realistically a run of struggling to score has always been coming. It'll even out eventually.

Cagey Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Time to try something different methinks MOH up top, Spoony and Alston wide, Scougall in centre mid with Muzz. We ain't winning heehaw in the air up front anyway, so let's get the ball either over the top or on the ground through the channels to Mikey depending on whether the opposition sit deep or push up Tommy doesn't do radical though Tried a variation on all of that last week & didn't work.

Gas Monkey Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I have no faith by the time the killie gave rolls around we could be in a playoff spot. I expect this to be the case, cannot see us scoring enough goals to compete over next few weeks. Going to be a big Jan window for us or we are playing Arabs next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Ball just not falling for Saints at the moment. Nobody will he happy with the run we are on but personally not feeling the need to panic. We have these spells under Tommy Wright. As the man himself has said, judge him on where we finish up come the split and after 38 games. Saw plenty of commitment in the performance today. We had a lot more of the ball - the majority of it - than on Tuesday and more attempts and shots on target than Thistle. Bit of quality separated the sides but I thought we maybe merited a point. A big positive was Aaron Comrie. He had a tough start with the opponents we faced and I thought he'd done alright but not much more. He had probably his best game on Tuesday but took it up another level today in terms of his attacking threat. Shirt very much his now. Will face a real defensive test next weekend though.

Edstar101 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm in no way lobbying for a change in manager. I just have a really bad feeling that the best days of Tommy in charge are on the wain, and a fresh approach would not be the most unpalatable thing I do also agree with the folk that say that you don't know what you have until it's gone, and I really hope TW pulls us out of this flat spin The ghost of Jim Morton, Shaggy Jenkins and PauloPerth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys on here don't rate him but I am sure he would have got a goal in one of these games. Kane cannae even get a game for QOS. That says everything about our poor striking options.

Radford 72 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Kane cannae even get a game for QOS. That says everything about our poor striking options. I think he's injured at the moment but accept this loan hasn't worked out. Kane hasn't shown enough to merit starting every week for Saints but he was good for what he was/should've been, a third or fourth choice striker in a squad that isn't expensively assembled. Same applies to Cummins. What I will criticise TW for is the Johnstone/Kane swap. This wasn't a situation like with Adam Morgan when he was letting an unproven youngster head out for experience; Kane appeared in 25 league games last season and scored 5 goals. Not great but not terrible. He should have been absolutely certain that Johnstone was at the very least going to match that before letting Kane go.

GMac Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 So who do we blame, the miserly chairman and his watertight purse strings or the manager for bringing a shit striker. Keep the faith, we have been in this situation before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Never mind sacking Tommy, give him some bloody money in the January window for a decent striker. Yes he was backed over the summer with Scougall and O’Halloran...and what... it’s turns out he needs a better striker, tough titties for Steve Brown! Bring in a decent striker to give Macca some competition.... Edited October 28, 2017 by R.B.B:- Adz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Much like last week,didn’t deserve to win,but probably worth a draw,Comrie had a really good game,and Tanser was steady too,some decent balls down the line and crosses,ball didn’t drop for us,and Storeys piece of skill only difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublin saint Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Have to remember Tommy did get his top two targets in the summer. How did our other big signing target Sammon get on today? Johnstone seems have been a panic signing after others had fallen through -not been impressed so far but he has hardly had chance On a side note what happened to Habron looked good while on trial here ?

Havana Saint Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 We need quality and we need to pay for that quality. Scougall and O'Halloran have this. We need one or two more around the park of the same level - not necessarily 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahoorsir Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Accounts to May17 show we have £2.7 million in the bank. FFS Broom open the purse strings and get a decent striker in January or we could be in the s***. Problem is who is going to be available in January. Plus can't see us holding on to MOH as pretty sure McInnes will want to keep him. Broon's penny pinching is possibly going to cost us big style this season!

He is on loan from PSG "B" at Boulogne in France. Agree he looked the part on wing and through middle in matches I seen him in. Should still try and get him for January.

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 On a brighter note, I had 1-0 Thistle in the predictor. The only positive I can take from yet another day of firing blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahoorsir Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Scougall was top target but Tommy had striker lined up before the end of last season on a 2yr deal. Chairman changed mind and said 1yr and an option for another. Striker signed for someone else .Don't know who the striker was but does mean TW didn't get his top targets.

Templar Saint Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Stevie Brown getting it in the neck again...............so we have money in the bank........good at least we will have a club to support going forward. The budget was set and the manager decides how to spend it. TW made his choices and it would appear that a striker was not high priority based on who he eventually signed....but that was his judgement call. If the footballing public in Perth and surrounding catchment area supported their local team then perhaps better calibre players could be signed however the reality is we get gates of around 2000 to 2600 for most home games. SB & TW are doing the best they can with the resources they have at their disposal and the type and quality of player we can attract that they want to be part of the club. templeofsaints, Aitchy and garydavidson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
