Think the jury's still out on Gallacher, and Booth at 31 isn't going to get faster. I also wondered if Booth might be used more often as left-sided cover for the back three if McCart moves on. 13 hours ago, GMac said: Scott Allan (from Hibs) anyone ? He's obviously a good player but from what I can see he hasn't managed 90 minutes all season. That's got to be an issue surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again that would be CD trying to make his back 3 work rather than play a natural centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drey Wright 2550 league minutes played 1 Goal 1 Assist Shaun Rooney 3731 league minutes played 3 Goals 1 Assist Be interesting to see Shaun’s cup stats.

Not rumours. Its well publicised he has type 1 diabetes which can affect his game. absolutely class player though and could be worth the risk if the wages are structured correctly. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has a heart condition that causes tiredness and shortage of breath. I have relatives with the same condition and it's pretty impressive that he's able to carry on playing professional football at all, let alone in the top flight. But I'd have to wonder whether his next club will be at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezza70 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Muzz resigning for 1 year is great news, I’m guessing we will be needing his experience as we are going to be loosing quite a bit with players leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broggy Man Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 On 5/31/2022 at 8:44 AM, blueheaven said: Would you not have sent him out on loan? He was well out of the first team picture at the time, and when he was given chances he did very little. I think Davidson is deserving of criticism for many things but I wouldn't say his handling of Callum Hendry is one of them. I would love to know how you arrived at that conclusion my view is saints seem to be dreadful at dealing with new young strikers whether that’s Davidson or others in the coaching team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Decent Courier podcast up that's focused on the season past. A solid hour on Saints. Can't say I agree with all the takes. Especially on MacPherson but it's decent none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertainen and Bair have barely played because they didn't have any experience of British football before and the manager seems to flat out refuse to play people like that until they've been here a long time. Melamed was the same. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Davidson helped Saints win the double he is except from criticism for life if you agree with Nickleson. They , including Cosgrove think it will be the same tactics next season. I am sure there will be a big uplift in season tickets now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Last nights Scotland's team once again showed why we must sign players for CD back 3 and natural wing backs. Even the best players get caught out not playing their natural positions. Roberson plays in a Liverpool back 4 McTominay plays in midfield for Man Utd. SC does av CD and plays Both out of position to suit his 3 at the back tactics Robertson wing back and McTominay at centre back both got caught out. Roberson great going forward watch Ukraine's them at the goals. We need natural centre backs and natural wing backs if he is going to persist with his back 3 formation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round pegs in square holes. My particular pet peev is strikers being forced into wide roles- seems to be an awful lot of young gifted strikers that are stunted by being forced into a position that doesn't suit them.

Linky Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I’d take Gogic and Allan being released by Hibs. A Midfield of Allan, Gogic and Hallberg would be pretty decent. Wright would be ok as a Rooney replacement. To be honest, given Davidson’s history of signings, getting in players who have experience in this league is key. However, the manager is on holiday and so I can see these players going elsewhere if someone else comes in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have identified the players he wants and then it will be up to Scott Boyd to deal with. Edited June 2, 2022 by Stumpy1966 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
