    Certainly in modern memory, I've never seen a Saints team as well coached or drilled as the double-winning squad. Callum Davidson deserves endless credit for that. The performance at Ibrox in the cup quarter-final was exceptional.

    But he was a dreadful manager of men.

    Should hae stayed as a coach ok as a number 2, but never a manager

    By all accounts he is very good at putting on training sessions, which works fine if you are an assistant manager or coach, but when it comes to being a manager, you need to have more than that. Callum did not have the personality or people skills to deal with players. A manager who has good people skills and can get players to buy into their way of thinking is just as important as the tactical side of things.

    Look at Dundee, St Mirren and Killie. Yes, they have decent players, but Docherty, Robinson and McInnes are all skilled at creating a strong team spirit and that can go a long way in our league.

    Guid no 2 if that

    Is this the easiest Player of the Year decision ever? I can't remember any other season where one player was such an obvious stand-out. I can't think of any other player who even comes close (although I agree with the above comment from @SaintJet about McGowan's attitude impressing this season).

    Gonna be a clean sweep fir the guy.

    Just to add a bit to the discussion above, I can't comment or provide any details on perceived poor tactics or the work that goes in behind the scenes to address that but with regards the team looking unfit and not being worked hard enough.  I've actually heard from a very good source that the problem we currently have is the complete opposite of this.  There is far far too much emphasis on running and fitness training done at training to the point the players are at points absolutely exhausted by the end of the week.  This has also been pointed out as a potential to the numerous niggling injuries we seem to keep picking up to key players. 

    Whether this is Levein's doing or whether this is Kirk's work ethic coming through I don't know.  But players being knackered by the end of a weeks training doesn't seem to be ideal prep going into a game at the weekend.

    So where are the sport scientists then.

    Not only did McInnes know about our midfield shape but he said to the media days before the game he knew how we would play and also mentioned the players he was dropping for the game to deal with it! Just insane we just carried on into it.

    The manager assessment of the team, is that a damming report of all those that were on the bench? If he didn't want to replace those playing poorly then he must think the subs are even worse.

    Think it's a daming inviting o himself
