Rob Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Saints are always better to watch when we play 2 up front but when we play 1 up front the tactic doesnt seem to be get the ball to Kane to score. His job seems to be to hold the ball up, press as far up in the opponents half and draw fouls. Lone striker always quite isolated and perhaps a thankless role but recently we've shown that it doesnt have to be our strikers that get the goals. Hopefully we will see some squad rotation this week. I could see May, Melamed, Middleton and Tanser all starting.

Not if you look at the photo of Stevie Brown with the trophy trying to get into McD. in the Courier page 4. If these auld guys one who sits in the East Strand near the centre thought that was smart to attend then they are playing into the Scottish Governments hands to stall allowing fans back into grounds.

garydavidson Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 The BBC match report is a bit of a joke: "What did we learn? The lack of fans means there was no opportunity for commentators to wax lyrical about the latent potential of respective fan bases for two of the Premiership's worst supported clubs."

TheYellowBox Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 So a day on and with time to reflect, what a great achievement. Players stepped up and it was clear saints wanted it more. The squad has a great mix of youth, potential and experience, but crucially saints DNA flowing right through it. 7 of the 12 players used have spent some time in the youth set up. Coaches all feel for the club. There is a true identity and when you hear the likes of Alan Preston, Dasovic etc, you realise it's been the same for a long time. One trophy win in an era, can be regarded as exceptional and a series of factors coming together. 2 trophies and the recent success points to something else. Something more fundamental. It's no fluke, it's not just a collection of the right players at the right time, it's not just one great manager. Its years of hard work and many many people all pulling together. So where does this all leave saints? Has the club moved to a different level on and off the pitch? Well, this group of players has the potential for more to come. In the main, almost all of them can still play at this level or higher for a good few years to come. Off the pitch, while we are still provincial, we can now point to what the club is capable of achieving. We may not win anything for years to come (we can still do the double), but what we can do is genuinely point to success. Young players (and any really under 20) in scotland will only really know saints as a top flight team and now one that wins trophies. This can only be to our advantage. blueheaven and Melbourne Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
