Looks like our wage structure has fallen behind the competition. Hibs can obviously pay more than Saints but it certainly doesn't help with Ross watching Goodwin's every move.

All the money we will save in replacing stewards with up to 20 years experience will help us find the purchase of Fernandez from Utd!

Simply that all the 'big' clubs are now in the top division. Last season we over achieved and probably we need to again to finish anything above the bottom two.

Over achieved last season with no crowd pressure and would mark the season down as not even counting. Soon as pressure is on Saints back to relegation fighters....Goodwin cannot handle crowd pressure or important games. 1st bigger game this seasn was Hearts and folded, 2nd was Livi and folded....

shull Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 It's down to who is better. St Johnstone are far smaller than us, but we're shite at football compared to them. Mind theTeam from Govan. They were fecking massive but died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 My opinion, but if we had the budget for it I think we need 3/4 extra players to allow changes in formation and game plan when 3-5-2 doesn't seem to be working. I think we need:* A more defensive left footed LB. A left sided Fraser. This would allow Tanser to move up and be a LM/LW as he is not a defensive player at all really. Allowing a shift from 3-5-2.* We need a pacey RWB to fit into this 352 formation. As Tait nor Henderson are the answer here.* We need a solid no nonsense CDM to play along side Power and stop Kiltie and McGrath in the same line up. Erhahon/MacPherson might get there over time, but we need solid now as Power cannot do it all alone. This would work with 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1 etc.* Pacey RM/RW. This would allow to change to back 4 and have width with Fraser at RB of back 4 to support eachother. Allowing at times to move from 3-5-2 when not working.* If it exists in our budget a tall, strong and Pacey forward who can play with someone or play alone up front. This would allow someone to play alongside Brophy/Main or alone and still be a pest/threat. I know we will not have the budget for all this, so is anyone coming through the youth set up that can fill these roles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a natural RWB for the System (and other players to allow f**king changes when it isn't working). We also need some form pace and someone who can take a ball by a player.

If you're a decent, pacey wide player who happens to be available and within our budget, are you joining a team to either sit on the bench or be made to play wingback? f**k that.
