Ali91 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 That performance from Gary Miller was huge. I'm sure nobody was entirely comfortable with him starting, but take a bow, not an easy task tonight but he was brilliant. templeofsaints, Zamora Fan, Seannachie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Always liked that Chris Kane... ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Amazing how fired up the team were after being called unprofessional by an opposing player in the press, absolutely pitch perfect response. Very impressed by captain McLean, good at geeing the boys up. Kane looks a decent talent, hope Brian was taking note of how to win a header, press the ball and hold up play without having to whingeing or sitting on the ground with arms outstretched Hope we never see him again.

SlickDT Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Lappin put in a performance ten times better than any other he has in a saints shirt. Davidson looked a little more like his old self. Miller was brilliant at right back and Mannus again showed his quality. Best game all season by a mile. Really enjoyed it SundayGirl and livi saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Well worth the journey! Great game not spoiled by the state of the pitch or by an inept Bobby Madden and a pathetic linesman who failed to make a decision all night.

PauloPerth Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 That was a magnificent St Johnstone performance. A great entertaining game to watch. Delighted with the point and the way saints approached the game. I put my hand up to predicting us getting a doing. Loads of injuries, against an in form aberdeen team and when we've not played well for a while.. Really brave team selection with the two strikers and Murray and spoony in central midfield. After half time aberdeen had a man playing in behind our 2 central midfielders and we got caught out for a 10 minute spell upto the goal, but that was it, we more than matched a really good side, and outplayed them for a lot of the game as well. Every saints player was superb tonight. Spoony had a couple of moments of mental ness with his decision making, but also had quite a few moments of great skill. Scobbie, Gary miller, Anderson, and Easton were excellent. Mannus was superb. Lappin had loads of energ and a couple of brilliant deliveries, croft had a great first half and put in a quality ball for Kane and hit the post in the second. Muz and spoony worked their socks off, got stuck in and gave the Dons midfield plenty to think about. Kane brought so much energy to the team, real hunger and desire, and was a constant nuisance. Macca won plenty headers, had some great lay offs to midfielders and played a great game. More of the same please Saints, that was fantastic entertainment!

pitsjfc Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 So are all the doom and gloom folk going to give it a rest now, all so full of shite it's unbelievable, that was a brilliant performance tonight an could easily have been 3 points, all so quick to write the team off were where you a few seasons ago when we were mickey mouse in the first division how did you acc cope???? The atmosphere tonight was brilliant and it definitely had an effect on the players and showed on the pitch, maybe start believing in the team and gettin behind them an we will get somewhere instead of pissing an moaning. sixties saintee, dave mc and 541ntees 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the sentiment, but what I say before the game and how I act during the game are massively different things. I'm the most positive fan whenever I'm near the ground. It was quite right to be nervous with our injury list but when I saw our line up my confidence picked up and I'm sure I wasnt alone. I agree one hundred percent with you assessment of the crowd though, what an effort to outsing the dandies. It would be a shame if you missed queens away, I'm sure there's a way you could make it. pitsjfc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand folks doubts before the game with injurys and from Tuesday night but aslong as iv followed us we've always had our ups and downs and hate when our own fans right us off, we can achieve anything on our day, we have our off days like every team does and soon as we do its the end of the world for some of our support I feel the atmosphere makes a big impact on the performance on the pitch, every game there's acc been a good atmosphere the team play out there skin and it's brilliant There's no way il miss queens even if I have to walk il be there just glad its no the moro cos il no be going anywhere except bed, this Friday football's hectic for the liver haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Friday football sucks. Glad we were at home otherwise can't make it. Good point but feel it's 2 dropped. Hope I'm not looking back at this come the split? Good game and both sets of supporters would have enjoyed that. Wendy Saints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banff Saint Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Was a game i had planned to go to but due to switch of dates watched it in pub. To say i was impressed with Saints is an understatement. Great game to watch and a well deserved point. Thought Spoony was outstanding and Easton and Kane too. More of this please Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) That was refreshing. Two proper strikers, two midfielders capable of supporting, two capable wide players, two solid full backs who helped get forward and two excellent central defenders. Keeper was solid too. The result? 17 shots on goal against one of the best defences in the league. Terrific entertainment. We are much more attractive in a 4-4-2 and it harked back to last season when we had May and MacLean up top. Most enjoyable game of the season by far. Only a wonder goal prevented a thoroughly deserved win. And don't let anyone fool you by saying Aberdeen were off form. They played well and tried their best. I just thought we were magnificent.

auld reekie saint Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Love high energy football. Hamilton outplayed us 2 weeks ago because they were full of running. We outplayed Aberdeen because we were in their face and played at a real tempo. great to watch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixties saintee Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Crofts chance that came off the post - at least two yards off side. How was that not called? Just as well he didnt score would have been cited 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejksjfc Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Not a failure in the Saints team yesterday great performance all round. Lappins goal actually looked better on TV than it did at the game. Aberdeens goal was an absolute belter one of the best opposition goals I have ever seen. Spoony needs to get a decent set of studs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhq Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Really enjoyed that game, one of the best matches at McD in a long time. Could have won it at the death, but a draw was probably a fair result. No failures tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 It's often funny how a team can play better when the starting 11 almost picks itself due to injuries and suspensions It's also very frustrating having been to Inverness and seen how bad we can be to then see how good we were last night. If we could have found consistency, and had fewer injuries, might we have been the ones challenging Celtic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were hurting from Tuesday as deep down they knew that they had let the gaffer and fans down. There was not enough effort and that's not something I've ever said about one of Wrights teams. Last night they can out the traps from the off.
