HOODLUM65 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Sutton wasn't very good but MacLean is living a charmed life. How long can the manager persist with a striker that not only doesn't score goals but isn't offering nearly as much to the team as he used to. My own personal prefence is for a striker with a bit of pace and flair and if that isn't Cummins or Kane, then I'd play O'Halloran up front despite his poor finishing at times.

Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yes he touched the ball. If you were at the game you would have seen him chase a ball towards the left corner flag ,control it before laying it back to a colleague . Hope that answers your question .

Saint GB Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 On a night like this you need to look at the positives 1) club don't have to worry about forking out for a charter 2) less chance of more injuries 3) players dont have to worry about two long trips 4) can now focus on pre-season Every cloud Highland Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 5) we don't have to put a team together for next week without MacKay, Wright, Anderson, Davidson, Millar, Lappin and Wotherspoon. That's quite a serious injury crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Surely I wasn't the only one to see the ref with the red card in his hand when Ando went down ready to send him off, only for him to swap it for a yellow, once he saw the injury to Andos face and book both the players !!!!! Anyway, seriously shite game and shite tactics........ positive note......might get extra pre season games now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franco Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Still should have beaten that lot with our second string side. Scobbie did ok IMO but he is so limited in midfield and the amount of times he was dragged out of position and lost possession shows he will only ever be a defender. Brown very average and will probably not make the cut IMO. I also thought shaugnessey wasn't great but hopefully he can improve over the course of the season. O'halloran is our only player with anything about him in an attacking sense and without him the team just look so rigid and lacking any movement. Sutton was anonymous but he requires crosses and service which we didn't provide last night. It's baffling how Maclean still starts matches. The man offers nothing at all and his goal record for a striker is laughable. Overall a very poor result against a very poor side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 That was what they call a total beamer. Injury list as long as my arm but I'm sorry Tommy, I'd rather see youngster playing their own position than players playing out of positioneverywhere. Caddis should have started. Kane up top not left wing. We were doomed from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thought we played alright tbh. Much better than last week. We'll probably never seen that team play again so not too fussed about the result. Jenko82 and mainstand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhq Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I hate slagging Saints, but last night was awful. Every player with the exception of O'Halloran was way below par. Even experienced reliable players made poor decisions at times. Injuries didn't help, but if Caddis can't be trusted to start when we were so depleted in midfield then I have to question why he was given another contract. (he actually did well when he did eventually come on). Sutton will struggle with us I think. Work-rate is a massive part of our success in recent years and he is miles too unfit and slow to play that way. However, there's still enough at this club to finish top six, so onwards and upwards.

I admire your optimism, but having watched our inconsistency and lack of creativity and thus goals this last year, I'm not sure it'll be easy for us to be top six again. I don't know if we can get away with playing last season's way for another year. Of course, if we bring in a player such as Swanson and play as we did towards the end of last season, but consistently, then maybe. For me there were too many utterly deficient performances last season - Inverness, Dingwall, Dumfries and the 3-0 at Firhill were horrific. At other times we were very good - Celtic, United, Aberdeen, Dundee. So frustrating to watch us either play very well one week then hopelessly the next. Our only consistency was our inconsistency!

Honest Saints Fan Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 People over reacting to a team that would never start again lolz. How can anyone judge where we will finish in the league on that team? Millar, Muzz, Lappin and Wotherspoon all missing. Four nailed on starters right there.

I agree hsf but in the context of the play we've witnessed this last year I can understand some of the negative stuff. We have, at times, simply been deficient. If we started last night as we played for the last 15 minutes then I think we'd have won comfortably even with an increasingly makeshift team.

However, our reserves who all full time professionals, should still be beating a part time Armenian side. We have excuses but it was still poor.
