Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread
Radford replied to Kyle's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
This squad must be costing so much less than last season. Booth, Gordon, May and Kane got post-double renewals. Crawford and Gallacher came in during the January 2022 splurge and were followed in the summer by Considine and McGowan, then Phillips. Mitov is away and we got £300k. Jaiyesimi, Richards and Robinson having wages covered. Ballantyne and Wills give you 15 outs, not including other loans, with more maybe to come. The arrivals? Ikpeazu and Holt are senior players and Cameron has a wage to cover. Nothing else looks like it's breaking the bank. SURELY the finances are coming back under control now? -

At least after a bad weekend, Rae was able to come in and go through it with his coach before having a good week's training... -

I think the point is fair enough. Tomorrow either makes it a reasonable start to the season or poor one. That isn't so much of an issue if there a few good signings today as the argument is still that something is building. What we explicitly don't need is squad fillers. The group needs to be at a manageable level for the next few months, not full of guys who know they aren't getting near to a game. -

Add McPake to the bottom list now and probably Sinclair as a keeper seems inevitable after the weekend. Would leave only 15 or 16 outfield players ahead of new arrivals. -

Our pal Peter suggesting Josh McPake and Connor Smith are available for loan. That's the day peaked already. -

They'd definitely have beaten us in the play-offs though. -

Hadn't checked when window closed but see it's actually Friday night at 11:00pm. I'm very interested to see what the manager comes up with. -

Scott McMann is a huge Saints fan. Always at our games when he's not playing. But he's also very vocal on the Saints Facebook group and 99% of his posts are off the scale. Surprised you weren't aware of this when you signed him. -

One step forwards and two steps back. A game that was there for the taking and we've been architects of our own downfall. Didn't give United a sniff the first half and have to go in ahead then start the second half with the boost you'd expect shooting towards your own support. Goalkeeper is weak and we are behind from their first serious effort on goal. Goodwin is brave in that he sticks by decision to bring second forward on and I don't actually mind our change of shape of at that point, both in terms of the three to combat Moult and van der Sande but also to try and get more midfield control, that we'd been lacking throughout despite being the more likely side. But we were poor after the goal and changes of shape and Levein, as was a problem last season, just wasn't reacting. MacPherson was an obvious sub, he was decent at Hampden last week. Then, as mentioned, the only change he seems capable of right now is chucking strikers on. Rae hadn't looked comfortable at the long throws all day and he's now got a target on his back for as long as he's between the sticks. But the bullseye on his shirt will be nothing compared to our star striker, who will be niggled for 90 minutes and have every centre back rolling about on the floor clutching their faces. A happy, go lucky lad to this, I hope Willie McKay is very proud of himself. -
Dundee Utd v St Johnstone FC (KKK)
Radford replied to Alert Mongoose's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The abilty to switch between a three and a four during games is a big thing for Saints but it's important that the manager, more often than not, gets it right from the start. The personnel won't alter much though and you largely know the 11 players he'll start with. Hard to not look forward to games when you know you have Sidibeh and Kimpioka starting up front. First time in the Shed for me. Must've either missed the games when we had it previously, or the options along the side of the pitch were also there. -

If Alan Nixon, Pete O'Rourke and Scott Burns had a love child, would they call it Tam? -

I can't remember his name at all. I guess if Celtic come calling then you are going to be off. Always going to be a problem for Saints with good analysts.
