The ghost of Jim Morton Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 A wins a win but the 1st half performance was well below par as far as I am concerned. Better second half but still lacking something ( not sure what but certainly something) Ref was shite, Dundee look like a team doomed already.. Great work by Ando for his goal and Wee Danny took his penalty very well. 3 points in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Glad I wasn't there. Those last few minutes would have been the death of me i even turned the radio off whilst sitting in Morrisons car park and only back on when I was confident game was over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Potter Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Was all about getting the win today after last week. Thought we played ok. I was fairly confident the goal would come. Dundee are shite. Nice wee gap between us and 6th place. Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livi saint Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not a classic but I thought we played well. Dundee were dreadful. Wotherspoon was class at times and Swanson played well again. Love beating THEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love beating THEM. Are you sure it was Wotherspoon you were watching ?. He was dreadfully. Should have been hooked at half time . Was he trying a stopover instead of putting his foot through the ball when he slipped in the penalty box late in the first half ?.

SlickDT Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Workman like win- we were good enough for the three points and a late goal against us was pretty unfair in my opinion. Swanson the obvious standout, but I thought Kane had a good game, showing some metal when holding the ball up and fighting to gain possession back. Dundee were horrible. A team of very average players with no spark, no creativity and not enough fight. The lad upfront that won their penalty was woeful. Hemings and Stewart are a major loss that haven't been near replaced. Their marking for our first goal was woeful. Another good 3 points that go towards a top six finish. oswaldinho199 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Braw. Moving on, a comfortable win for The The at the Hatefest this afternoon would suit us I think, they would then turn up all full of themselves on Wednesday - ideal.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Muzz breaking into the box, completely off balance as usual, and falling flat on his face, only to be booked for diving was the refereeing highlight of the day. Never a penalty, never even contemplated claiming for a penalty, booked for simulation. Could have been off late in the game too for a studs to the groin tackle as a result.

Brian Potter Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 On a side note. Can't see Watson getting in the team. Seems a shame to have a good right back sitting on the bench when both fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Easy enough win. Conceding spoiled it a bit. The chance their number 19 missed in the first half was the best of the game by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Very strong, professional, workmanlike performance from Saints I thought, with Swanson just providing that little bit of magic. He's clearly really enjoying his football at the moment - some really quick feet and close control, and loved his little chip through to Coulson at the end. I think we're really lacking a big, athletic striker. Not sure if Gormley could fit that description, but if we had that I think we'd be on course to finish top three.

RandomGuy Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I thought Kane had a good game, showing some metal when holding the ball up and fighting to gain possession back. I dunno, he works hard off the ball closing down, and showed some tremendous close control, but he seems to lack any form of conviction. The amount of times he 1v1 with a defender and he just stops is frustrating, needs more arrogance about him. On a side note. Can't see Watson getting in the team. Seems a shame to have a good right back sitting on the bench when both fit. Not sure its much of a shame, tbh, Foster is better than Watson and also less injury prone. I doubt we'd have signed Watson at all if we'd known at the time Foster would be free. I think we're really lacking a big, athletic striker. Not sure if Gormley could fit that description, but if we had that I think we'd be on course to finish top three. Last season Cummins was that mean, no idea whats happened to him, a bit of the Cillian Sheridans about the whole situation. Reckon Coulson might start up front against The Rangers. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callander saint Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Well deserved 3 points but despite dominating most of the game we are struggling to create chances from open play .

slambrother Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Great result but not overly happy with the performance don't think muzz or spoony had particularly good games. Had we been playing a better team or atleast a team on form doubt whether we would have taken all three points. Like the Killie game we were really ponderous at times and took three passes to do what could have been done in one. I appreciate Kane's work-rate but now having seen him getting a few starts just not convinced he's ever going to be the player many of us hoped he would be. Fortunately for us Dundee's forward who looked like a fat Stevie May missed that good chance early on and we weren't punished. Fully expect us to raise our game against Rangers as our away form has been good this season, 3 points there would be magic!

Havana Saint Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Good workmanlike performance. Three points. Ahead of Sevco. Great. Foster very comfortable as was Zander, he breathes confidence into the defence. Swanson giving us great creativity. Don't really see whay Kane is giving us at the moment tbh. Gormley must be pretty pants if he cannae even make the bench. Onwards to Wednesday and three more points. COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 What was And doing at their penalty. Sport scene experts say Saints shouldn't have got the pen but they never got the right angle. It was a two hand push in the back & Dundee didn't dispute it. How slow is Paton .Gets ball with no one within 10 yards of him with a clear run on goal & yet gets caught before he gets in their half. Muzz was lucky to stay on the park & he probably was fairly booked for diving. First half we seemed to want to walk the ball into the net.

Dave H Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Dominated. Happy days. Comfortable in the end. Dundee look poor, that's the worst team I've seen this season... We worked hard and seemed to have so much space to pass the ball around. Second half we had all the play, never looked like conceding. Quite a few decent performances today. That consolation goal for the Dees took the gloss off the win to a degree. But 3 points is 3 points. Happy! nickyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
