FTOF Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Harry Davis is in the director's box. Just came out the door with Andy Webster. Quote

JJ McG Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) A fit Davis will be signing of the summer in my opinion, fantastic player. Edited July 18, 2017 by JJ McG Quote
Stevie88 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Better hope Davis signs after that pish tonight. Still early days but Buchanan looks suspect. Quote
northstbuddie Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 The performance tonight was on a par with the first half of last season. I don't think I could stand a repeat of that dismal form and run of depressing results. It is difficult to be positive about anything I observed tonight other than Harry Davis entering the ground! Our defence looked fragile, our midfield disjointed and our attack powder puff. Quote

Our defence looked fragile, our midfield disjointed and our attack powder puff. It was nowhere near the depths of last season where the primary objective seemed to be to allow other teams to have all of the ball and dominate us. Yes, we were shite tonight but can anyone honestly say Livingston were on top of us for any period of time other than the first 7 or 8 minutes? We huffed and puffed and came up with nothing to show for it but last season I recall we were quite content to let other teams have the ball and be terribly stand-off in our style. That's nothing like how we're playing. The only real worrying thing for me was when Carrick went off injured and Livi brought a defender on in his place, we simply didn't know what to do to break them down. Quote

melmac Posted July 19, 2017 Report Posted July 19, 2017 More a wish than speculation, the guy Brobbel fae TNS looked a player and they are now out of Europe. Quote

You wouldn't have been saying that in the first half of last season, though? McShane is literally just in the door. He needs time to develop an understanding with McGinn (it was obvious that this is a work in progress going on their showings last night). We are also missing Magennis, who is a sharper, more incisive type of player and would have made a significant difference last night, in view. Players who we know from experience can perform considerably better were well below par last night. The positive point is that we know they are better than that. Quote

The point being that Mallan took a while to get going last season and would most likely have struggled in similar circumstances to last night, so perhaps we need to give the players in there now a wee bit of grace.

Spot on. Season just starting, last night's lineup had 5 new faces who weren't there last season. While they have been training together, it takes a number of competitive matches to really get your rhythm, and also for Jack to decide his best 11. It will have Eckersley and Magennis in it for sure, and probably Davis and whichever striker we sign as well. Let's hope for a step forward in terms of approach and performance on Saturday. Quote

And all of the above also applies to Livi and all other teams. Quote

And all of the above also applies to Livi and all other teams. Doesn't mean all teams will be of the same comparative quality once their squads have gelled and are fit. We play a more expansive game than Livi, so there's more to getting it right than there is with their physical approach and men behind the ball way of playing. Sometimes you just need a player to be off the boil for it to suffer a bit. McGinn was as ineffective as I've seen him since coming back last night. I'm sure that won't happen again. I also expect McShane to get better the more he plays as well. Those two need to be creating more for us, getting the ball to the front four to make things happen - didn't get it forward quickly or often enough to them in good positions last night. Quote
Eaglesham saint Posted July 19, 2017 Report Posted July 19, 2017 What was the altercation between a Saints fan and the stewards last night,was it the Livi assistant swearing in front of kids. If it was good on the Buddie Quote

Magic Monkey Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Weird. You'd assume that's Davis from the first caption... Is Stelios stood on a box or something?! Quote
Saint Garf Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 Seems to have a dark coloured beard, so don't think it's Harry. Maybe we'll be announcing a double signing today. Quote
