I'll say the same thing i said before the recent Motherwell game, Rangers game and Hibs game: I fully expect yet another defeat, because our players aren't trying. I would be surprised if we got another point this season.  I take it you are not suggesting that someone start a Bring Back Tommy Craig thread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Said on P&B that we are 11/2 to finish in the bottom 2. Surely that must be worth punting the money the Dons gave us for Goodwin, since it would help to cover some of next season lost. Just need to club to get the bet on without getting caught by the SPFL  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity it's fairly close, 50 miles each way, or I wouldn't bother.  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 We'd been leaking goals like nobodies business before the weekend (14 in 4 games) so you can tell Robbo thought we need to keep a clean sheet for starters. He stuck five at the back and three in deep midfield. Of course we still lost without keeping a clean sheet, and the flip side was we hardly created a single chance. In the games we had lost just prior (rangers excpeted) we had been scoring (2 v Well, 2 v Hearts and 1 v Dundee Utd), but he took that threat away on Saturday, without plugging the gap at the back. I felt one of the main reasons for that was Ronan playing in a much deeper role, which doesn't suit him. Connor is one of the best Saints players I've ever seen, the team must be built specifically to maximise his game winning ability, after all he has won us games himself several times. We must get him further forward on Saturday, where he can best hurt St Johnstone: Alnwick Fraser-Shaughnessy-Dunne-Tanser Gogic-Power Jones-Ronan-Henderson Greive Squad wise we are stronger than the Saintees. If our attitude is right we don't lose (we haven't lost any of the three previous games between us this season). My problem is i just don't think the attitude will be right and the Saintees will want it more than we do, and as such we will lose again. I hope I'm wrong!  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with Gocic back he will be able to play further forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything other than a defeat though might or might not be enough with three games remaining after this one. As many have said and as I have also witnessed Perth hasn’t been a very happy hunting ground for the Buddies. Time for a change. I hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think this team has a win in it.. so best we can hope for imo is not to lose and keep the gap to 5 points and crawl over the line somehow with the help of Hibs Livy and big Jim's team... what a thought that is 🙈 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However surely now the players who are going to be off at end of season whether be loanees or released, if they have anything about them will be trying to put themselves in shop window for prospective clubs. I know I've posted before about them not wanting to run risk of getting seriously injured for a manager like SR, but if not for him or club. Do it for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
