Cleveland-Saint Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Yup. Another saturday morning concluded. Saints shit. Shout at the dog. Have a drink. Sunday doover with Browns, the St Johnstone of Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern saint Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 From the reports on the game and how poor we were, I think the management team achieved their objective. The team was set up to lose. No ambition to win. No signs of any lessons having been learned. Same mistakes, week after week. Decent coaching would be fixing those.

Presumably Cammy in to support May but surprised at Smith being dropped Carey, May and Jephcott pish and in that order of pishness. If Carey’s place in the team is based on “chances created and “crosses in the box” then A] we need someone in the box, preferably the penalty box and B] just chucking the ball in the box without looking or caring where you’re team mates are Dire!!

Cleveland-Saint Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 1 minute ago, R.B.B:- Adz said: The most toothless St Johnstone side for many a year -deeper questions on coaching/manager setup - May solo up front doesnt WORK!!! -no ownership asperations, can't find a buyer, no shocker there, are they even looking? - Hibs had 7-8 gold edge chances - should have won by 5 - we had a half poke by consadine, only shot on goal? So even if set-up defensively and midfield improves, where are the goals/3 point ghames coming from? 6 games in, but unless another team collapses, we are in a bad place and horrifyingly close to complete freefall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 The reality is that we have players and now signed players who are Championship level. When did Stevie May last score a league goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Saints nil and one shot on goal. I wonder where the main problem is. To be honest the best I could see us doing before the game was shitfesting a draw. Defeat from Livi next week and I think we should start preparing for relegation.

Cagey Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Starting line up today only had 2 loanees + Sprangler . Signing policy not looking very successful. tucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjohndb Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 How long is training nowadays? From the ground breaking all day of Luggy to probably about 10minutes now? Maybe they should have fines if players don't train properly? Or does the whole thing need re-invented Why not just copy a Willie Ormond training session I'm a hypocrite saying that as my fitness regime has fallen away somewhat. I believe Ormond didn't allow balls at training, no matches just PE.. Could absence make the heart grow fonder?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Jephcott during the half time warm up a couple of games ago where they run across the pitch twice. By the time they finished he was half the width of the pitch behind. What kind of contract did we give him ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Is Macca going to have to swallow his pride and bring back McGowan or is he even training with Saints. No mention of Ballantyne for the last few games. Didn't do too well this season but the last few games of last season he was arguably one of our best players R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali91 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Actually thought in terms of having some control of the game we did ok. See a lot of Macpherson stick but thought him, Phillips and Sprangler did ok. Our problem is how easy it is to score against us, and how easy it is to defend against us. We have relegation written all over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. I’m not one of those that has a big problem with James Brown, and I think part of it is down to him not being fully fit, but **** me that was an all timer today. If he’s not at it defensively then he’s a waste of a jersey. He’s not a great right back but I’d have McGowan in ahead of both Brown and Olufunwa next week.

I was thinking more in centre back position. McClelland is a bit of a bomb scare. Even more than Gordon. Maybe even Olufunwa in centre back position.

Cagey Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just watched the highlights. Was Sprangler playing. Maybe the commentator doesn't recognize him yet so didn't mention him. I like Brown but looks like he is not fit and his positioning was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 How did Sprangler go? If Clark was potentially a chance to play last week according to quotes in the media, why didn’t he play today? With tactics and team selections this season it’s looking more and more obvious that Macca had plenty of input in the CD massacre of the last two previous seasons.
