stlucifer Posted July 29, 2023 Report Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) The second half was a damp squib. I put that down to losing the midfield. It kind of proves we are almost totally reliant on O'Hara to control it. For the "real" games we need that midfield general. IF we need to be without Captain Marvel we need to have another option. Unless we have an academy graduate hidden gem then Gogic is the most likely filler. ETA. Talking about graduates. A wee mention for Luke Kenny who came on as a sub for the last 30 of the game. Didn't look out of place. Seems to have a nice touch and wasn't overawed. Well done youngin. Edited July 29, 2023 by stlucifer Quote
eastlandssaint Posted July 29, 2023 Report Posted July 29, 2023 Well done Saints, a very good performance and a good result, in the draw for the next round, job done. Quote

The second half was a training exercise to get players match fit and to give our reserve players some game time. Baccus strolled the midfield when O'Hara was subbed. Hopefully both will both be with us for the forthcoming season. Edited July 29, 2023 by FTOF Quote
Saint@Johnstone Posted July 30, 2023 Report Posted July 30, 2023 Second goal with Strain was great. Hope he remains after transfer window closes. Quote

Aye, true. A place in the 1/4 finals up for grabs...one game away from Hampden. They have Obika, of course. Whilst we have Mandron and O'Hara. Looking forward to it, already. Quote

We should have won the group on max points and been seeded - but considering our position after the first game, I'm delighted we got through and even more so with the draw. Of the 14 possible match-ups available as a non seeded team, I reckon this was the 3rd best possible outcome (After Ayr and Airdrie at home). We've been quite lucky in the draw and have more or less wiped out the impact of that initial defeat. ... of course we still have to win it...🙂 Edited July 31, 2023 by southsidebud Quote
elvis Posted July 31, 2023 Report Posted July 31, 2023 Remember we played them off the park and got beat 1-0 last season so not going to be easy. Quote

Yep - didn't say it would be easy. None of the 14 available outcomes would have been easy - I just happen to think this will be relatively easier than 11 of the others. Definitely more winnable than a trip to Celtic Park or Ibrox - and I was expecting one of those to come out the hat. Quote
