  1. I thought Moon was excellent today especially in the 1st half. He was composed on the ball and his passing was first class. The first half performance was the best I've seen saints play this season. We should have been at least three goals up.
  2. 2700 sold up to last night, hopefully we will have 3000!
  3. Moon is also not 100% fit, I can see Del starting Jody and bringing Mooner on after 60 mins.
  4. The maximum we could shift by tonight is around 3000 , still think that we'll sell 4200. It will be a slap in the face if we can't as it's a huge game and we can still win the league!
  5. Irvine has improved as the season has progressed but is far from the finished article. His distribution has to improve greatly if he wants to play at a higher level.
  6. ........and it's Perth St.Johnstone, Perth St.Johnstone FC We're by far the greatest team and we're going to win the league.
  7. St.Madoes Saints have a bus booked. Only 4 seats left!
  8. Hopefully we have McCaffrey back in the centre of defence. He is an excellent organiser and was badly missed on Saturday. Hardie struggled but I don't think Jody is ready to start. Up front we have problems! We don't have a natural goalscorer, Savo has been poor so I'm going to stick with Sammy and Holmes. Main Irvine Ruti Caff Craig Millar Moon Hardie Sheerin Samuel Holmes
  9. My mate bumped into Caff at McDiarmid today and the good news is that he says that he is fit for Saturday !
  10. Both great players but I would take Brogie before Roddy.
  11. Sheerin was the only player who actually played to their potential today out of the starting 11.
  12. The first half display must be one of our worst this season. Anderson, Gartland and Craig were having a nightmare and it unnerved the whole team. Hardie was also posted missing and Savo had his usual uneffective game. Second half was better but Anderson went onto prove why he doesn't get a regular game, he had a howler! We must pray that Caff is fit for next week, as Ruti seemed unsettled with both Anderson and Gartland beside him. We will be promoted but we are going to have to buy at least 6 players if we have any ambitions of staying up. Anyway, Dens here we come!!
  13. Just hope that we remember to beat QOS to make this dream a reality! If that happens we will take more than 6000 to Dens, seems too good to be true that we we could take over their ground and win the league there! I can see a Wembley 77 on the cards!
  14. I think we are going to have to sign two new strikers in the summer if we are in the SPL. Milne, Barret and Holmes are not good enough for the SPL. I'm not sure if Holmes is good enough for the 1st Div!
  15. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be part of North Britain? All this nonsense about independence, who in earth would want Scotland to have the same influence as other similar sized European countries? Crazy idea!!
  16. The big punt up the park might actually work if we could get our midfield further up the park to pick up the 2nd ball. Unfortunately our midfield sit so deep that the opposition always gain possession.
  17. I think the main problem with our style of play is the lack of quality in the full back position. Irvine doesn't get on the ball enough and when he does his distribution is poor. On the left side we have failed to replace Stanic and have the same problem. We also lack decent width for the next phase of play from full back position and it all resorts to long balls from the centre of defence. It doesn't look like McInnes is encouraging or demanding the full backs to get on the ball so I can't see our style of play changing.
  18. Main Irvine Caff Ruti Byrne Moon Hardie Craig Sheerin Samuel Barrett McLean, Savo, Millar, Holmes, Swankie
  19. He had the same problem at Falkirk, he was given extra sessions to try and lose the extra weight. Against Dundee he struggled to get up and down the left hand side and offered nothing coming forward from full back today. He is a good player but if he wants to play at a higher level he has to lose some weight.
  20. Another abysmal display! Pass marks to Main, Ruti, Caff, Moon And Barratt. Craig - Looks heavy and unfit, needs to lose a stone. Irvine- Doesn't get on the ball enough and direct play down the flanks. Millar - Not good enough Sheerin - Must have a sore neck watching the ball getting launched every two minutes Samuel- Good in flashes, looked uninterested for the majority of the game Holmes- Looks like he is towing a caravan! Milne - We have given him another years contract. Why? We play with 9 behind the ball and a 40 yard gap between midfield and the front two against a team that come here playing for a draw. We should have taken Holmes off so he could watch Brewster and learn how to bring a ball down and lay it off. We must improve the level of performance / entertainment. This is NOT good enough!!
  21. Dundee were offered the Ormond Stand during the week but said there was no way they would bring 3000.
