blueheaven Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 Really brings into perspective just how well Saints did in our European ties last season. We didn't spend a fraction of the money United have this summer, and we were drawn against arguably better teams, yet we held our own against both Galatasaray and LASK, came away from both places undefeated and were still very much in both ties until the second halves of the second legs. Callum Davidson might have got a lot of things wrong since then but I reckon his gameplan for our European games was streets ahead of Jack Ross's approach to last night.

Linky Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 The Dundee score is bad for Scottish football, another embarrassing result after Motherwell. However, both could be good for us. It's going to take a while for the Utd team to get over a loss like that, and I could see it affecting a large part of the season. Motherwell haven't made a good appointment either. You promote from within when things have been going well and you want continuity, not when you need a complete change. I can see Motherwell struggling. I think St. Mirren will also be poor. I could see us finishing 10th with Ross County and perhaps. Dundee Utd just above us pezza70 and Cleveland-Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston will be fine, County maybe also. However, the prospect of weekly slugfests and anti football from us and our rivals fills me with apprehension. What happened to anticipation when attending a match? It’s been destroyed by a succession of managerial cowards across the clubs, ours included.

But against Motherwell I saw a glimmer of hope, a hint of what we used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Saints have been rubbish plenty of times over the years, not saying we should just accept it but I don't think defensively we've looked too bad but the lack of goal scoring threat is obvious to everyone. This is definitely not new either. It's been like that for about 7 seasons. Striker is notoriously the hardest position to fill at this level on a budget and it feels like we need 2. How we find even one 10+ goals a season striker beats me. Sadly Im not sure if we will find anyone and that's quite a depressing prospect. Goals win games otherwise we will lose or scrape a draw every week. Even if other teams are not much better we will lose by single goals.

GMac Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 If the last 2 home games are anything to go by, we are deep in the sh@te. expect no better than last season, I hope I am proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
