northstbuddie Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Results like today's (not just in Montrose) say a lot about the true quality of the so-called Scottish top flight. Edited July 15, 2023 by northstbuddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 When our squad is training, doing the "attack v defence" routine, I wonder which one wins? Cos the defence cannae defend and the attack cannae win a ball in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it also says a lot about this league cup format. That said, absolutely no excuse for a supposed premiership team losing to Montrose.

Absolutely. There was some comment earlier along the lines its early days, we'll get fitter etc. What utter drivel. Are Montrose magically super fit etc? Very poor performance and the manager and players really need to get this sorted as it could be another costly exit from a competition we should be looking to go into the latter stages.

The attack should be playing football on the deck not firing crosses constantly into the box hoping for a lucky knockdown that's what i saw today in the 2nd half... thankfully I missed the first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I just assume the manager has no interest in the Viaplay and nor should we if that is the case. If he has told the players just to jog around, build fitmess and not injure themselves then I don't really see why any of us should hand over any cash for these games. 10-15 minutes of hard work by us should really kill-off teams like Montrose though. I was resigned to Robinson being a really bad appointment this time last year and he almost won me over completely by the end of the first phase of the league, hopefully we will improve somewhat by mid-August. I'm going in to hospital again this week and at least that gives me the excuse not to go to any games, if they rally by the weekend then the Cowden match is close by for me so I might just head along to that if it's not pishing down. Otherwise, i will wait for the league to start before getting excited again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ McG Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 We actually let Shaughnessy leave as he wasn’t a guaranteed starter 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I did wonder when the "mangers shite" frenzy would start but it takes some neck to start after one very poor game.

Clydebanksaint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 I just hope we are not going to persist with McMenamin as LWB as it not a position he plays. We signed him as a winger/forward and for us spent a bit of money on him we need to find a system that’s brings out the best in him or why buy him. He looks a player but not at LWB. Is that 3 in a row we have lost to lower league opposition in a row the scum Montrose and didn’t we play Ayr at the training ground as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dunne's black sleeve attire is quiite appropriate in his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydebanksaint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) This might be controversial as I know quite a few don’t rate him but in these next 3 games I would like to see Taylor get a run out rather than Dunne Edited July 15, 2023 by Clydebanksaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balmullo Bud Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Deja vu from this time last season unfortunately. Was sat in the main stand and Robbo was returning some abuse back to some Saints fans in the second half. Not a good look from both sides who were obviously frustrated. Lack of quality in the final third, Dunne, Fraser and Gallagher all struggling at the back, no composure, long diagonal punts from us instead of trying to play football and second to a lot of balls. Brutal watch. Gogic was by far our best player but gets hooked??? O’Hara played ok. Greive worked his socks of but with no effect on the game. Early doors, but Mandron looked poor, was absolutely schooled by a 39 year old part time centre back. His lack of physicality and touch is a worry. McMenamn looked tidy but spent the game chasing long balls and looked out of position. Collum had a typically poor game too and should’ve played advantage for the foul at the edge of the box that fell perfectly for O’Hara who slotted it home, but no excuses; we were dire against a dire Montrose team. Can’t comprehend not qualifying out that group, but a real possibility now if we play like that in the other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clydebanksaint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 My Motherwell supporting mate said this of Mandron. He comes across timid to me, he doesn't use his size to his advantage and was a bit lacklustre. I do think he will thrive when he gets confident his record indicates he is a 1 in 4 man over his league career so by my reckoning we can expect maybe 9 goals if plays every league game got 1 in 7 last season at well.

faraway saint Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Just got this from a Montrose supporting mate...... 😂. St Mirren pumped long balls the whole game. Shite tactics. Just play football and should win easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Woeful! Embarrassing! Shocking! And that's me being generous. To a man. A complete shambles. I spent nearly five hours driving to see that awful display. To say Mandron has two left feet would be an insult............................. to a left foot. He is absolutely honking. If this is to be the standard for our league campaign then we best hope Morton don't get relegated so we have something to look forward to in season 2024-25.

Think you’ll find the season started today. The fact the league cup starts in July doesn’t mean it’s less important than if it started in September. There are only two trophies we can hope to challenge for and we’ve potentially blown our chances in one on the first day of the season.
