Firstly at the missing of the cross ball. Then the hilarious dive trying to stop the ball from the header. Dinnae matter really, as we are scoring hunners up the other end against Goalies who are actually worse than Sammy. You still sniffing the glue?

Hambud Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 A little bit "meh" for me this one. I grew to like Samson during his last spell with us, and he was an integral part of the 2013 cup winning team, but for me that ship has now sailed. He had a poor season at Motherwell last term and is another one who doesn't take command of his area enough. Another puncher. Perhaps at this level he's as good as we're going to get and I'm being a bit grumpy and unreasonable. This was how I felt about him signing.I felt even worse about it after the Dundee "friendly"...........however the big man has had some brilliant one on one saves at crucial points of certain matches and is regularly pushing, McGinn/McShane/Smith(x2)/Reilly for the man of the match (-Morgan) awards. He is a really important part of the team's backbone. Well in Sammo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Best keeper in the league.He's such an improvement on O'Brien. We've went from having a keeper who cost us goals most games to having one who's making big saves most games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I watched MOTD & Sportscene last night. The keepers in Engerlund regularly take a touch or ten and very seldom come under pressure (unless Jamie vardey is about) while up here there is usually someone closing them down and most of them lump it up the park as quickly as they can . When I see the pace it's coming back to him, I'd like to see him take a controlling touch first - when he has time of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if he doesn't know where his far post is. Lost count of how many goals he's lost in that situation. Apart from that, he's more than decent for this level. It was the defenders job to deal with the cross that led to their goal yesterday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said "Lost count of how many goals he's lost in that situation" . Obviously completely different. Can you name 10 goals he's lost "in that situation ".

I never said that any of the goals he has lost have been his "fault", just that it is a weakness. Now, go and wind your f**king neck in. We'll agree to disagree then .

Saint Garf Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I like Samson, he's more than decent at this level. I think what people forget sometimes is that St Mirren are playing in the 2nd tier in Scotland. It's true that he's never been great with shots, particularly low shots, across his goal, but all the players we sign will have their limitations or weaknesses. The same thing happened when Billy Mehmet was with us, his all-round contribution was excellent, but people would constantly moan about his finishing, which was the part of his game that often let him down. Let's face it though, if he'd been as good a finisher as he was a footballer, he wouldn't have been playing with us, It's that simple. What you need to find at a club like ours is a group of players who's strengths and weaknesses create a balance across the squad, I think we have that, more or less.

Ethan Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Absolutely. We are building confidence throughout the squad I can't understand why fans need a scapegoat or players to have a go at. Get behind the whole team as it's the full squad that's got us at the good end of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Kilmarnock supporting mate of mine says Samson was on of the worst keepers he’s ever seen play for Killie. I told him I’ve seen a lot worse play for Saints. In turn, I said that Alan Combe was one of the worst keepers I’ve seen play for Saints. He reckoned that Combe was one of Killie’s best!
