Taking that deal would mean no chance of Callum going. If we finish 11th this year and Callum is still here, then we'll be even worse the year after. ⏏️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from 4 or 5 Saints fans Hootsmon football writer's panel voted 4 - 1 in favour of St Mirren finishing 12th this morning.

Smarmy Arab Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 When the first quarter in is in look at the table, till then be optimistic…. it feels better! CD will have learned a lot last season, more than the previous season that’s for sure! Still 4 weeks of transfer window to go and plenty of time to pick up some gems when options for players narrow. Good luck my friends, as ever I’m rooting for you every game, well every game apart from 4! dunkeldneil, Melbourne Saint, Coltrane and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenrothes saintee Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 After watching yesterdays game v Hibs, I think we will be very lucky to win a game this league season. We might get a few “backs to the wall” 0-0 draws, but with the current squad and managers tactics I fear the worst. I hope to hell I’m proved wrong, because if Saints go down it could be a long time before we get back to the Premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Everyday now I waken up and power up BBC Scotland Football hoping to see a headline "Davidson and Saints part company". Any variation on that theme will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunblanemike Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Crikey, already the league table is looking not too dissimilar to how it will look come the season end, though quite where saints will be by then is debatable. FWIW I can see us improving as players settle in but whether that is enough to keep us above 11th, not sure yet. this fence sitting sure hurts yer ass!

blueheaven Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 One thing that has made me feel slightly better about this season is that some of the other teams are looking distinctly ropey. Motherwell need to make a good managerial appointment or could easily struggle, and so far St Mirren look worse than I'd expected. I can see Hibs having another bottom 6 season too. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I thought we looked more like the Saints of old on Saturday: chasing down every ball, playing at tempo, throwing bodies in front of shots, not giving up. I was particularly impressed with McGowan in that regard. It has given me a glimmer of hope that it could be an ok season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmuirton Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 I actually now think we have got the basis of a pretty good squad and I think we will be well clear of bottom and very possibe top 6. I am glad Callum was given the chance to rebuild. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland-Saint Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 How thin the lines are. Without that last minute winner, its a lost 2 points as we sat back deep and highlights CD's approach to defending a lead. Instead, we all have some glimmer of a hope, we look for positives..... Four straight losses, we fall into the anticipated doom.....fueling our negative expectations. Funny old game blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored in three minutes and then defended for 87. It was horrendous to watch. That’s what we did second half v Motherwell. We went from looking reasonably good (take that in context) in the first half to sitting back inviting Motherwell onto us. Disgusting, negative, time wasting anti football. Surely we can be better than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit off and don't tackle until they get in 18 yard box .Another 7-0 without a booking like Celtic last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
