Saint Stevo

So he doesn’t lump it like Liam?!

Jephcott has a decent looking record and is a good age. Hopefully he is the one rumoured coming in, I’d be happy with that.

Like you say first half of season was decent, but he is starting to make silly mistakes. I wouldn't be adverse to having him around the younger guys in the team though, but I'd prefer we found a new partner for Liam in defence. I agree that Deas would be a good addition.

A couple of Rovers mates rate him. Tall, strong, bit of a physical specimen.

I've obviously got a lot of affection for Spoony, like all Saints supporters, but I think he is done. If MacLean wants to play a higher pressing, faster style of football, I don't see where he fits in. I'm of the opinion we don't keep him on. He has looked older and off the pace in recent performances, which is gutting to say.

Like what you've done there.

I've heard Davidson is taking Clelland to Dens.

Aye the clock is ticking to get all the behind the scenes stuff sorted. It's pretty messy. Hope they don't do anything half arsed and completely balls it up.

I would be surprised if he came back too, but you never know. QP played some good stuff - might see plenty goals for a change Or he might be off to Dens.....

I agree 4-4-2 is a good option, but Spoony doesn't have the legs to play on the flank anymore, as much as that pains me to say. However, we don't have anyone else do we! Imagine us playing a system like this and actually employing wingers, to play in their correct position. When we were linked with signing Forrest from Livi in January, that would have been a good signing in this system. However, CD was obviously going to shoehorn him into some random position, so made no sense. The thought of playing higher up the park with forward players pressing sounds like a dream.

It will be nice to get Kane back in the side. His physicality and hold up play will be an added bonus for us.

That's Bowyer away from Dundee. Callum inbound?!

It would be great to get him. I think he has had a cracking season with us. Anyone know how long is left on his Celtic contract?

Just heard this from my Dee mate as well.

Can't say I remember him at United, but stats alone will do me. Get him signed!

Yep, brilliant post. My story is pretty similar - I'm in Fife and Dad, Cowdenbeath supporter (!), took me along to Saints as he was invited by a client through work. I met Alex Totten, got a look around behind the scenes and that was it, just fell in love with the place. I'm so disappointed that the cup double heroics have just been pissed away and the whole match day Saturday just feels flat for me. Email address for Mr Flaherty is on staff profiles section of the website if anyone is interested BTW.

Yep, Flaherty's comments about all being together, working hard up to the end of the window, blah blah. Team Callum trundles on.

It's brutal, absolutely brutal.

I always thought with Middleton that we weren't playing him wide enough due to our tactics. He isn't a central striker in my opinion. Play him wide and he might flourish, but I'm not convinced he'll get that opportunity with us.

What makes you say these horrible things?!

I had a season ticket years ago but got one last year and took my 2 sons along for free as they're under 12. To be honest that's what swung it for me again this season. My older boy enjoyed it a lot and it's his last season of being a freebie, so we're going again this season with blind optimism that we'll batter teams and score a boat load! Although the football was crap most of the time I still enjoy going along for a day out with the boys.

Scott Bain would be decent. Chris Burke not so much [emoji23]

I wasn't going to bother having a drink the night too.

That's terrifying......

As much as I love the optimism I just can't see it happening. I don't think he can change. I'm happy to be proven wrong though. Having led away to both Galatasaray and LASK, this season has turned into the pits. I'm worried a Charlie Adam inspired Dee catch us as well. That would just cap it all off.
