The Real Saints

SAME OLD ALLOA, ALWAYS CHEATING

Yup, I get it when it’s a back three/five, but never a long-term solution when it’s a back four. Even with an available James Brown, I’d be disappointed if we didn’t sign a RB before the transfer window closes tbh. We can do better.

Very much a work-in-progress, but a lot better so far. A couple of nervy moments from Considine, and ideally Wright will be playing in a more advanced position when we’re at full-strength, but a lot of positives. Think that Jephcott has already shown a bit of promise and he could potentially be an ideal partner for May.

PPV stream purchased. 'Same old Alloa, always cheating' chant thoroughly rehearsed. I'm ready for kick-off.

Potentially Champions League, but we'll have to wait until next season for that.

Mitov/Sinclair New RB, Gordon, Baggot, Gallacher Wright, Phillips, New CM, Carey May, Jephcott + add a new winger into the mix to compete with Wright and/or Carey. I don’t want to get too carried away, but I think this team could potentially win the league.

I have an Ipswich-supporting friend. Asked him about Elkan Baggot and the response was very positive, but I suppose none of that really changes the fact that a loan move seems a bit disappointing when we should be prioritising a longer-term successor for our ancient central defenders.

AlfieVille complains about everything, so there have naturally been one or two occasions where I've found myself thinking 'Maybe he's got a point, you know'. However, those points are never taken seriously because he complains about everything.

I don't know how to feel about it. I can't say that I like it, but I do think that Dan Phillips looks really handsome in it.

During his United days, Goodwillie would pretty much laugh, wink and flex his muscles like a pantomime villain whenever opposition fans called him a rapist. Wouldn't trust (or even listen to) a single word that this unhinged man says.

I’m liking this new signing policy. Supporters of EFL clubs raging on a weekly basis.

It’s a strange one, because that’s an awful result and a poor team performance overall, but I can’t really feel too annoyed with the players or manager at this point. Although we should still be winning the game, I look at that squad and that bench and don’t find it particularly surprising that we’ve just been beaten by Stenhousemuir. Massive weeks ahead.

I think there have been some nice moments, particularly from Ferguson, Max and Carey, but lacking that extra quality to really take control of a game.

Ok, I’ve paid £24. Hopefully I can get a refund. Anyway, mon the Saints.

I feel like I've made a mistake by exiting the match feed after paying £12. Now it says I need to pay another £12 to access it.

I'm baffled. How do I pay for this PPV? What on earth are cast credits?

Here we goooo. That feeling is back. Haven’t felt it in a long time.

1. Celtic 2. Rangers 3. St Johnstone 4. Aberdeen 5. Hearts 6. Hibs 7. Livingston 8. Kilmarnock 9. Motherwell 10. Dundee 11. Ross County 12. St Mirren

I’m very impressed by this second-half performance.

Good to see that Cammy has been working hard on his set-piece delivery over the summer.

I'm wanting to pre-order. In all honesty, I don't know what size I am. I've looked at the Macron sizing guide and I've brought out my tape measure. Apparently I'm an S in every aspect apart from my waist which is an L. Surely this can't be the case? Am I fat?

Beautiful man, beautiful strip.

OK, I approve of the strip. Good riddance to the days of having the words ‘Binn Group’ on our shirts.

Yes, true. Having said that, I look forward to seeing how they sugarcoat the fact that they probably won't be available to purchase for another 3-4 weeks.

Clearly a last-minute sweetener before the open meeting tonight, but I suppose the context isn't too important. We'll take whatever we can get right now.
