The ghost of Jim Morton Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 That was ugly, mostly harsh on the eye and not overly enjoyable BUT fair play to the Saints management for getting the job done. Top six for a fourth year on the trot is excellent. Maybe now we will get some more offensive fitba but probably not. Strange subbies as well but hey ho...

RandomGuy Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Pretty simple in the end, Dundee are fairly toothless. Could, and should, have been two or three goals between us but yet again we resist the temptation to go for the jugular, Dundees backline was simply awful, while the midfield couldn't cope with any sort of pressure either. Pretty frustrating we stood off them so much considering this. Can't really understand the subs at all, when we seen Swanson getting ready everyone around me was joking it would be a typical TW move to take O'Halloran off or something equally baffling, but surely it would be the ineffective, knackered, Wotherspoon. Then he goes and does it. Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Great result. It wasn't the prettiest game to watch but the victory was deserved. Excellent goal by Brian Graham who must surely be close to receiving a contract offer now.. I was dying to see a partnership of Graham and Kane,as the game wore on, and I was disappointed/bemused to see the former being removed rather than MacLean who had a poor game. We're perfectly capable of catching up with Dundee United. That must be our next aim. Congrats to the players and management for a 4th consecutive top 6 finish. We haven't played the best football, but we're good at stopping other teams from playing their best football. It's not particularly pleasant to witness, but it's undoubtedly effective. On a sidenote, I'd like to issue an apology to the guy on Tulloch Terrace to whom my dad directed his unreasonable anger. Probably not a member of this forum, but you were spot-on about the traffic lights not working if a vehicle is over the line. Apologies once again. My dad is a total rager at times. He has since accepted his mistake and apologises for his total seethe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Not very pretty on the eye,but got the result we wanted,although I thought Dundee kept the ball a good bit better than us,and we stood off them far too much. Made too many unforced errors to be fluid enough,thought Frazer and Easton had good games,Ando and Cuptie not as good,Lappin did great work in the middle,but Graham was mom by a mile,why he got subbed ahead of Macca beggars belief,and Mikey going off instead of Spoony also.

andy rhodes fancy watch Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Dunno like Dave , Graham scored a good goal but the ball bounces off him far too much . I thought Lappin and Millar were outstanding today . Spoony is pish . Shaggy Jenkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Strasser Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Firstly congratulations to everybody at the club. Top six four seasons on the trot which is a magnificent achievement. As with most of the games this season it wasn't pretty but we ground out a win. Europe still possibly up for grabs so all to play for.

Cagey Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Well done Saints,another top 6 but why do you have to put us through the wringer. Top 6 should have been in the bag weeks ago. I didn`t think Macca & Wotherspoon should have started but is there anyone on here that thought they should have been on the park for 92 minutes ?. They were both unbelievably poor & have been for weeks now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethamsaintee Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 We weren't brilliant but felt we controlled the game and we're worthy winners. Fantastic goal from big BG. Thought we could have been three up at HT and was worried Dundee would really push at us but it never really happened. Comfortable three points and good to get top 6 again.

He's ducking rubbish. All he ever does is score goals. Some Saints fans will never take to him. I'll be delighted if we get him on a free in the summer.

SlickDT Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 A scrappy poor game. I bang on about this every season but what do you expect whilst the players have to play on tattie fields most weeks. The standard of football drops every season along with the pitch. Prime example of why either summer football or artificial pitches are a must in this country. Millar was fantastic again- clearly player of the season. Mannus save in the first half was outstanding. Frazer Wright continues to defy age. Steven MacLean was poor today, but a big part of that was because of how deep he had to play. As much as it pains me to say it- I just don't rate Weatherspoon at the moment. This season I've barely seen him have a good game- maybe one or two. I'd love him to up his game and prove me wrong, but I wouldn't be against trying to find another right sided midfielder for next season that will fight for his place. I'm one of Tommy Wrights biggest fans, but his subs today really surprised me. You can argue he got the result he needed- but how MacLean and Weatherspoon stayed on the pitch is beyond my limited knowledge. Good result. Another fantastic achievement to get top 6. Let's push for top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 If Graham can be a double figures strikers then it would be daft not to sign him. I'm genuinely worried about MacLean just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Big Brian scored again which is part of what he is on the pitch to do so good, his hold up/ link play could be better, But here is the thing I believe anyway, Goal scoring on a regular basis is something you either have or do not ( Ask, Spoony, Millar, macca) where as the hold up play/ link play can be worked on and he can become better, here for me is the dilemma. Go in Queue for someone better who is available and wait and see if he eventually comes when all his other admirers sign someone else, and in the mean time Brian Grahame signs for someone else who wants him, or sign him up now if we can????????? .

south inch Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Someone will probably tell me it was two weeks ago, but when did Saints last host the biggest crowd out of a full SPL card (Saturday to Monday)? Can't see St Mirren or Kilmarnock beating our attendance today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley saint Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Macca and spoony should have been taken off as they were below par, spoony needs a moral boost. And how macca missed that pass through to him when he would have been 1 on 1 with the keeper was mind boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
