Looks to be away as was over clapping the fans after the game yesterday and was wondering what that was all about.

Hoping we are looking at some defensive cover also. We can't go the season with Considene, Gordon & Mclelland. A Duberry type signing please.

Big concern’s defensively with our lack of pace at the back. naivety with the newer players especially with Boyles diving. slso Robinson needs to be careful as he had a lot of sliding in challenges against rangers which he needed to do due to lack of pace. They came off but a big risk. Also one of them the rangers winger crossed and just missed his arm which was up in the air. we need something from this game.

This. and with players like Sam McClellan as first pick or even back up we are in trouble defensively.

I know it is early days, but Dundee are also a team with new players, but looked stronger, fitter, sharper, bigger and had a game plan. Another 2 goals from set pieces. But with only 2 tallish players we are going to be under pressure in every game. Mate was sat behind Michael Beale and his notes for the first ten minutes were, Dundee more aggressive and sharper. St. Johnstone, defence has no mobility. Not wrong. Major worry as even with Gordon, there is no pace. Tough year ahead.

Happened to me, pressed go to checkout to quickly, waited 15mins, then re-started. Once you have the bar code in and hit continue, on next page scroll down a bit as more info their. Hopefully helps

Decent win. what was the carry on with the corners in the first half? surely when you know flap jack is in goal you get the ball right down his neck.

Lost 2nd and 3rd goals right after substitutions; Worryingly put on loan signings Rudden and McLennan, does this mean we are looking to keep them? Hope not. Massive re-build required;

Time for the club to acknowledge their mistake either individually or collectively. Saints will have potentially lost £60/90k gate receipts they would have been hoping for with the loss of 2 to 3000 saints fans not going, so is not only a PR disaster but a financial sore one. An offer to put up some temporary protection ( timber frame and plywood - GS Brown have joiners) to protect the mural, would be a gesture. Not going myself due to the 3 stands issue, £30 price plus the football we are having to endure. After the game need to draw a line under this and move on, as what we are watching is brutal and we need to turn this around!

Agreed

Get every corner, free kick right on top him. Also back up every shot as he will push it out.

Totally agree. Saints communication between teammates has been bad for years. drey wrights inexperience as a defender was there to see. He had looked to see there was no issues and only had to give a shout and cross would have went out for a corner. Instead silent and we lose a goal from nothing, and a nervous last 5/0 mins.

At a recent St. Johnstone outing, when quizzed as why he doesn't change to a 442 or 433, his answer was that he doesn't have the players! You are correct that he said the opposite in June.

What manager worth his salt - Rigidly sticks to one system and doesn't change his team or system because he cant as he doesn't have the players (that he has brought in) to do that? Unbelievable and that's on him!!

Do you not know that he has said that he doesn’t have the players to play a back four!!
