If we play with wing backs he won't stay. He is good attacking as a winger, but not defensive. I can't see how he would fit. Out of contact in the summer and will be looking for regular footing bet. Will be hard to hold on to. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Greive I'm sure last time round was offered an extension to 2024. Brophy I'm sure is to 2024 as well. Same with Tanser, though if I'm honest I would love them to unearth a strain left wingback version. I thought he makes the left the weakest to other teams, as does Tait on the left for different reasons as one is better attack the other defence. My opinion is if Tanser has a poor game attacking he is a weak area. Reid is likely off and hoping for rangers or somewhere else. Lack of games must be a huge thing to him and his family. Henderson doesn't get a look in. Maybe it is the formation, but I'd be shocked if he stayed. Only be if we moved to a 433 and he was a winger I see it happening. The rumours of Richard Taylor he is a left centre back. He would be cheaper and satisfies 2 positions as a cheaper version off the bench to Joe and being left footed take Dunne's spot with Gogic able.to fill there too. 5 the club have offered contracts to Curtis Main Marcus Fraser Charles Dunne Peter Urminský Greg Kiltie Not sure on Flynn and Tait. Maybe cheap bench options?! Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Signed on to June 2025. I think this is good. Yeah there have been games he has felt a bit of a ghost and mostly I have felt this as they put him in a deeper role, but when you switch to 2 box to box and him higher up the pitch he is a real handful. I know a lot think he should be starting but I like that doing this changes it up a bit without messing too much with structure. I hope he gets more time. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

I feel as Ayunga and Main do the job that Robo wants the best, but he keeps them on way too long. The Aberdeen (Diverdeen as my 8yo shouts) game they were both f**ked. That is because they cause so many problems. It's not just pissing about poaching. He expected them to annoy the defence, defend so high up and pressure. They get asked to do loads. The worry is then having none of the same on the bench that they stay on way too long and when f**ked. Brophy isn't the man for that. Greive a bit, takes a beating at times for it, but still needs to get stronger for that play. He expects more from the forwards than just to score goals that I can see and hope others can. He has turned main around that I love his play. I'd love us to get rid of Brophy for the reason he must be on a high wage and cameos is stupid for the money he is on. We need a cheaper player than can do the same as them to help get them off when f**ked. I loved Ronan last season, as could do it all and was annoyed the middle was shit without him. Robo has sorted this by turning Erhahon into like a new player and him having 2 box to box mids next to him and do a lot of work. As skillful as Ronan, maybe not, but the middle has turned stuff around this season. With this turn I will be upset if Erhahon goes, but we know with games Gogic can be better than him in the anchor role in the middle. I like how Kiltie has changed for me. Playing deep in thought he was lost. I felt he wasn't going to fit the shape, but great having something different from the branch. Move the 2 B2B mids back and him higher and works a treat for him. Love having someone and something different there off the bench. We have been linked with Scott Robertson from Celtic and alfie mccalmont from Leeds, that he worked with at Morecambe. Could they work in the system? Be rough gems like we have had in the middle? I would love it if they can fit our system. Richard Taylor (left footed CB) could be a cheaper bench option for Joe leaving. Would be good for the games he gets. Also if left footed covers if Dunne was to leave at the end of season when the contract expires. To end this too my 8yo son said this was the best Christmas gift ever for the win as don't see goals like goalie f**k ups like that too often. He also missed the first pen as went to the toilet, couldn't watch the second as he was worried so his in my shoulder... Watched the third and we missed it with people around us saying he isn't allowed to watch them now. [emoji1787] Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

What I was thinking with injuries and the talk of players looking for more game time being off. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Surely if going with the formation that's working we need cover. Tait does well but Tanser gets injured a lot. The 2 out would give us weakness in the wide areas. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

From other chats Robo has said we would have to cut it down. I was hoping the bit parts looking for more game time than starters. If the starters go I don't think some of the bench, especially the middle, have the legs or experience we need. Would we get more in if these 2 left? I hope so as I hope we push for the top 6. I worry we cut things but the teams below us always are able to find money and add. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

I thought Alfie McCalmont was more like maybe Baccus. Maybe he is leaving or maybe Erhahon as got a new agent. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

I had the pleasure of meeting Keith at an awards on Friday where both our wife's were up for awards. I was totally shocked to see him there and my wife introduced us. I have to say Keith is a lovely, genuine down to earth bloke to take the time to talk to me. Said he was loving the work and the club. Said all the players and Robo are great guys after I spoke about communication I have had from Marcus and from Keanu for my son. He also said he will look out for us in April when my son will be mascot. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

It this was true I would hope we have replacements lined up. Both would command a fee as contracted to 2024. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

The change in Erhahon this season has been great. He has been with the club for a long time now and might be best to get something for him in January than lose him for nothing at the end of the season. We have Gogic who can jump in as the anchor or Kiltie has played great the last few, where you change up the positioning of the middle 3 and have Kiltie behind the front 2.

If it's true he is on a fair wage, Brophy has been a bit of a let down of a signing in my eyes. I'd love to let him go, but are the likes of Jamieson and Offord ready to operate at this level? Time will tell I hope. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Not really sure where in the forum to put this, so adding it here. After listening to the after match interview with Robo on Saturday I found this part to be worrying, "This is the group of boys we have got and we are not going to be able to strengthen the squad, so we have to go with that. Hopefully we don't lose anybody." The following teams are below us and all l, at times, seem to be able to pull money together and pull signings out the bag... And I'm sure they will to ensure that the 2nd part of the season they all come on better: *Hibs *Motherwell *Ross county *Kilmarnock *Dundee United Is this, like Robo said at the summer where were were done signing, no cash, but then brought in Gogic? Or if players went, would we be able to replace? Or as people would lead you to believe that we are f**ked financially that even if players go, we won't replace them at all? Also what I have noticed from him coming to the club, Robo complained about all the young kids being loaned out under Goodwin, but not really getting to see under Robo any of the young players getting games really either. Would we move more to use the boys to fill the squad if players left? Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

I'm late to the party here with starting to listen to the podcast, but podcasts in general. When I got into them, it has been mostly craft beer podcasts (another love of mine). I have to say I love the Misery Hunters podcast. It's on something I love, it doesn't take itself serious, but can discuss serious things at times around the club. I'll be going on soon to sign up to give 3 quid a month to the boys. I know the guys are on here (reading the roasters responses to conspiracy theories), but keep up the good work.

I have to say when Brophy came on, though brief, he is a ghost. I find it funny under Goodwin Main was shit and Brophy better. Under Robo it's the other way around. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Love that we won today, but f**k me that was not a game of football. We went down to their level too as it was tough to watch on both sides. I never really knew how much I hate Livi, until today. They don't play football at all. It is dire to watch and I can understand why their away support is so small. Paying for a season ticket to watch that is one thing, travelling and paying like 30 quid a game would be tough to swallow. They have finished in the top 6 and we haven't before. They seem to be able to unearth some massive guys who Bully, elbow, block, do dirty shit, but not play football. Even as big massive guys go down acting like they have been shot and playing up for officials to take it all in. They are not a professional football side, but a professional wrestling side. I would love them out of the division, but they get results. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

What a day yesterday and what a game. When my brother, my son and I got there, as usual my son wanted to go to the shop, so we did before heading round to the west stand. An older gentleman and his younger son standing at the ticket office asked me if I could help them out. They had been there for ages and they travelled up from Wales to come to the Saints game, but we're not Registered at the start of the season, so couldn't get tickets. They needed 3 as their friend was coming too. After speaking to them for a bit I happily helped them out being a season ticket holder. Tickets came to 96 quid and they gave me 120. They told me to keep the change for helping them and get my son something from the shop. I hope the 3 of them enjoyed it as much as the 3 of us did! I have to say that each game that goes by I am loving Ryan Strain. What a player he was. Hopefully he isn't too bad after having Jota (or Floppa as my son calls him for his falling over all the time) in his back pocket for big spells of the game. I have to say my favourite players to watch currently are Strain, Baccus and O'Hara. They work their socks off and love the Aussie rules bumps and blocking both Strain and Baccus were doing to noise them up too. Beautiful to see. Main had a great game again. I know not a prolific goal scorer, but he does so much under Robo that he didn't or couldn't under Jim's instructions. It is great to see him get some free kicks for him for a change too. My voice is very hoarse today. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

With the way the midfield plays, having Kiltie in it deeper it doesn't feel he is in a game. It is more suited to Gogic, Baccus and O'Hara. Joe is a big earner I bet and one of may favourites, but I feel he really just wants regular football and I'm not sure he gets that here. Big Joe going worries me though as even though Gogic can play at the back or the middle, it feels light if there are suspensions or injuries playing with a back 3. As well as with the midfield too.

My brother and son will make the game today. I have to stay home to look after my daughter. What is the best way to stream the game? Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

I know the 22/23 has only just started, but you have to hope the club had thinking onto next season's home and away tops. With the amazing away strip design this season meaning the club has achieved record sales with almost FIVE times the sale of last season’s away kit. You would think this has drummed up a fair amount of cash for the club that they would really think about how to keep this demand going into the following seasons. I for one would love a simple home top with the strip like the 2013 cup winning top. Stripes were the right width in my eyes. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

With Gogic being the steel in the middle and cover for the back, I would love us to be in the position (in an ideal world) to add cover for the LWB position and I would love another Jonah Ayunga. I wouldn't mind getting rid of Main if we could as I have found Ayunga more mobile, just as strong at holding the ball up as Main, and able to get up to head the ball on as a knock on. I think that will link well with Brophy and Greive type players. Someone similar to Ayunga, who nips at the defence all game would be great to link up together, but also give an option off the bench too. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk

Very excited he is ours for 2 years. Cover for the back and the dig and steel needed in the middle of the park. I also thought last season his distraction was alright as well. This will allow for an interesting Midfield with him in the middle and O'Hara/Erhahon to his left and Baccus to his right both then linking up with the wingbacks. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk
