nosferatu Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Oh dear. The table doesn't like faraway. This IS one of the worst Saints sides in 25 years. 5 games now against Championship opposition, 3 of them at home and we've failed to win any of them and lost 3. That is absolutely abysmal. Its worse than John fecking Coughlin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Just not acceptable, the midfield is just horrendous, could count on one hand how many passes they completed in 90 mins, Murray had 2 strikers to start but chooses to play one as a winger, it's livi at home FFS let's just go at them Baird tried but again he shouldn't have been put at right back, Morgan came in and does the same thing over and over, runs straight down the touch line, needs to mix it up a bit. Where do we go from here? Today was the time to start our season and all that's evident is things aren't going to get much better, 4 league games 3 cup games and we've been piss poor in them all, how long can fans be asked to put money in and be dished up this rubbish. I am all for getting behind the team but they need to give us something to shout about, god knows where a win will come from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankin_panda Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Back to my statements from day 1, we are utterly pathetic. Murrays tactics are like nothing I've ever seen. He now has a squad and doesn't know what to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Sounds desperate. It looks as though a lot of people were underestimating the standard of the Championship and overestimating the ability of our players. On paper we have a few standout players (langfield, Webster possibly shankland from reports). However the rest are either past it, average or young boys.

aldo_j Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Weak. Tactically inept. Baffling substitutions. The players didn't lose the game today. The management did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Again absolutely dismal. Love to know Murrays game plan. Not sure he knows. No midfield as usual. No service to strikers. Ended up with 3 small stature players in Midfield at then again. Bairds totally lost out of position. No pass marks for any player. Manager is clueless. Glad I won't be back for a few weeks. Can't watch this drivel much longer. Edited August 29, 2015 by santaponsasaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Weak. Tactically inept. Baffling substitutions. The players didn't lose the game today. The management did. Agreed. When we get it on the deck, we're alright. But that's only for about mins each half, the rest of the time we're punting it up to no one in particular. Pish.

norrie82 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 He doesn't seem to have a gameplan Far to many changes every game and it's been a v v poor start.

elvis Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 There are 2 things for sure in life we are all going to die and saint mirren are going to be in a play off to stay in this league we are f**king shockingly bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Attacking team out here. McMullan-Agnew-Mallan-Morgan Thompson-Shankland He's certainly going for it... Really ? Not from where i was sitting . Going for it would require a sense of urgency & commitment , neither of which were on show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotstounSaint Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Looks to me like Murray is the weak link as that's a decent squad we have now. His decision to play Baird at right back and Gallagher on the wing is laughably poor. He had all week to come up with some tactics and chooses that. Dear oh dear.

buddies1877 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Weird line up yet again from Murray. 5 in midfield yet seems like we're playing 2 in there. Gallacher and Baird looked so uncomfortable today played out of position. We also need to get McMullan more involved in games get the ball to him and let him run at people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The problem is Murray. I had high hopes but he's been a massive disappointment. 4 games no wins is not good enough.We are in for a relegation battle at this rate. I think the players are good enough they are just being mismanaged. I'll accept the midfield is poor, esp without Goodwin. I don't think he knows his best lineup yet... Jury is out but not looking like a positive verdict. Tommy Craig mark 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norrie82 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 We have been able.to attract good players it might take time and I hope that is it. We are just a poor team at present and I think too many young players at one time. He said he needed battle hardened championship style players but I don't know if some of our lads don't seem to have the physical capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets be frank Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Not much to add just as usual no shape/gameplan and a team that sits almost on our own 18 yard box awaiting pressure. Wonder if Murray needs to realise we are not a relegation team like Dumbarton and actually go and press high and attack teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Absolute f**king pish . WTF was that line up all about. Baird is never a right back Gallagher at left -Mid ??? Goodwin off for Morgan Agnew needs to grow a pair of balls !! Murray needs to start picking things up pretty damn quick. Ach , whats the f**kin point ?!?!?

beyond our ken Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Defence wasn't dreadful No midfield and no attack Anyone who thought Murray was going with 2 up top doesn't know much about the club, that was never a 2 man front line Langfield was not punished for his many mistakes, but the savvy managers in this league will be slavering at the thought of his "will I come-won't I come" dilemmas. He needs some focus and he needs to sustain it We have no punch or dig, Goodwin was OK when tackling but did nothing off the ball We need to be better without the ball Other than that, it didn't rain and we didn't lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Weak link is midfield, we have no composure in that area of the pitch, and it is where most promising moves break down. Baird not comfortable at right back, and why was Gallagher not played up top? Hugely frustrating, but we also need to remember that Shankland only came in this week and was unlucky with his effort off the post in the first half. I'm not sure what the answers are, though we do need to toughen up, that's for sure. Murray needs to find a settled, preferred, line up. He has his full squad (or almost), so not excuses now. That wasn't nearly good enough this afternoon, but I think it is too early to bring out the knives. If we are still toiling come mid-October, that might need to be re-evaluated, however. Oh, and the booing at the end. What is that likely to achieve? Edited August 29, 2015 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 FWIW, I still maintain that it was never a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
