Valentino Bolognese 79 Report post Posted August 24 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Johnny B said: And none of that works if we continue to concede 2 or more goals a game. Catch 22 strengthen defence and miss out out on a goal scorer. Bring in a forward and we may have to score 2 or 3 every game to win if our defending does not improve. I believe it is a defending mid fielder we need before a game controlling, pass-finding midfielder. Yes the defence has been poor, missing Joe more than I think folk expected, me incluced. However I have very high hopes for the return of Gordon, who is both a far better and more vocal player than Estonian and seems to work much better with Kerr, so hopefully he'll get back on track. With our best back 4 we should not be shipping goals to teams outside of the OF. edit: before the furore I'm not suggesting we accept shipping goals to the OF, just that we have to be realistic that they are the only ones that have firepower that we should expect to struggle against.

If you are correct and I do not doubt you, we now need cover in both full back positions and very little time or money to get them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d presume that’s the plan. Would expect to see him back in the squad after September 2nd if we haven’t brought anyone in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havana Saint 756 Report post Posted August 24 He's our Vice Captain, what a mess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Saints 888 Report post Posted August 24 At the time, it seemed quite a strange decision to make Richard Foster a vice-captain. Being vocal shouldn’t be the decisive criteria unless the player is also a well-liked person who provides a positive influence within the dressing room. Don’t want to make assumptions, but I’ve never envisaged Richard Foster as being that type of guy. 2 Johnny B and Havana Saint reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linky 30 Report post Posted August 24 Does the fact that Callachan is back in the squad mean we're no longer looking for a centre midfielder (perhaps because we're now looking for a right-back too)? No Anderson or McMillan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have plenty of the ball, cant get a glimpse of goal as it all falls apart when we're near their box. Better than Celtic game or last week isnt hard, but it's still not good enough.
