monkfish Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Awful game, for which I blame mostly Aberdeen but partly us for not being very adventurous, but forgiveable given the need to steady the ship. Decent point, cagey and edgy performance which hopefully gives us something to build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint GB Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mixed opinions here about Fran today! I thought he ha a good game, shooting wasnt great but his overall play going forward I thought was good! When he comes in from the left he 's a real threat! Di it a few times today to set people up!

StDuncM Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 On reflection Aberdeen have now gone 10 games without defeat and remain eighth behind Dundee United so they are the form team. Is this the after effects of too much Guinness or Jamieson Whiskey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangordon86 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I don't think we look as well drilled as we did under Del. Each player always seemed to have a well defined role in his team. At times now the players are looking a bit lost IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Aberdeen games against Saints are normally dire and any team managed by Craig Brown will always put its defence first so I suppose a 0-0 draw was not a surprise. Why Sky have chosen to broadcast 2 of these games this year is beyond me. If I was not a Saints fan I would certainly not have watched all of that game. Let's hope if we make the top 6 Aberdeen do not as we just cannot seem to get in any flow against them this season. Agree with that. Brown has always been defencive but we weren`t too adventurous today. I don`t think our fullbacks went over the halfway line all game.

Havana Saint Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Two very important things happened this afternoon - clean sheet and we picked up something from the game. Good - seeing as we would have been drained mentally and physically from tuesday. Need to really work hard before game on Sat and get some momentum again. Was sad to see such a porr performance from Morris, far too many slack and misplace passes (some bordering on the hospital category). Onwards and upwards, opportunity to get back to 4th on Sat. COYS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Goran Stanic Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Don't know where you were watching the game. Only thing in your comment I agree with is Dons were the form team. Also where did you see Saints defence were shite. Wright may have not been up to his usual high standard and his distribution was woeful, however Dons defence gifted Saints possession on numerous occasions and on another day would have been punished. Surely you could see that our defence was playing well below the level we have come to expect recently. Too many silly individual errors. At times we made it too easy for aberdeen. Davidson has looked dodgy recently and I'll be very surprised if he keeps his place at LB against Dunfermline. Wright looked as though he is still getting the sharpness back. Surely you could also see that the team was crying out for some pace or someone direct. Sheridan was barely involved, he should have been replaced well before the 81st minute. It just wasn't working in the final third, croft wasted at least 2 great chances with a poor final ball or poor decision making. The chance Fran blasted over the bar was one that we all would have expected him to score. Maybe I should ask you and The Lark where you watched the game!!? These were all pretty obvious problems with our performance, in my opinion. Not to worry though, it's been a tough run of games and we are still very much in with a chance of 4th. Beating Dunfermline next weekend will not be easy, we have a pretty poor home record against them in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows you the difference between a TV programme and actually being there to see the full "picture" --- HOODLUM would have been yapping most of the time to the Barmaids amid his consuming of Guinness !

ancientsaint Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sitting in the Richard Donald Stand in enemy territory it was interesting to hear their take on Fran. Basically they were impressed with his work-rate and stated that he was class. WE no good enough for you in the AWAY end - ya part time ewe humper !!!!

Wish i was Joe McGurn Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Lark. You forgot playing against a team who are unbeaten in a few matches with a manager who sets his team up to make it hard to score against. He is a master of that.
