It cracks me up. It's the fitness experts that make me laugh.
5 stone over weight guys with their great ideas to solve the injuries. Comments of "they're training too hard" "the fitness coach clearly doesn't have a clue what he's doing" "the fitness coach should be sacked" etc.
They're very keen on the suggestions without the first clue what level or training they're doing or even the a basic idea about the fitness required at that kind of level. A few of them were passing comment on "there's not much hope if that's how tired Gallagher is already" while evidently not having the first clue what a bleep test is and that he was the last player left.
Football is about opinions but on subjects like fitness, it's somewhat more complex for obvious reasons than "just train less" and you'll get less injuries.
You’re completely right on the fitness point, but I do think - and am sure they will be - that the club need to look at why we pick up so many muscle injuries compared to other clubs. We can’t be that unlucky surely?

Can we make a list detailing who it could/cannot be and the reasons behind this?
1. TheRealSaints - Cannot be Macca, mainly because we have all witnessed the Danny Da Vito lookalike singing like he's juggling two scotch eggs with his tongue, sounding like Lewis Capaldi being smythed by Jihadi John.

So now we have seen 5 new signings and all been on the younger side would a GMS/Peter Pawlet be acceptable??
Both too injury prone

I think today will be closer than people realise.
Yeah I think the jambos will hang on to the Perth young team liquid football for at least 60 minutes

Heavy rain forecast, hope this new pitch is better than last year's new pitch.

Does anyone really think we’ll see McClelland and Dare starting today? Neither of them can have had a pre-season so cant be fit? I’m all for chucking them in if fit but if they are not some fans haven’t exactly been sympathetic towards players lately
hanging them out to dry doesnt seem like the best idea

I have often wondered if they are over-trained with all the muscle injuries we seem to pick up? Are they being pushed too hard or not hard enough?
Quite often over the last few years we get to 60/65 minutes and look absolutely done.
Is that down to the workload during the week?

You probably have to chuck McClelland in to the defence on Saturday I guess? Alongside Considine?
It’s a huge gamble but what else can we do?
I feel a bit sorry for Gordy - I wasn’t at the game on Sat but he’s such a passionate guy for Saints and has just not taken the pressure if the captains armband well which seems to have ruined his game and confidence.
I’ll probably get pelters for this but I would give the armband to either Considine or McGowan just now as I dont see any other options, let Gordy get on with playing and finding some confidence again

WAP reckons we're after Conor McGrandles also.
This CB sounds promising and if it means ditching Considine I'm all for it.
Decent if true!

NI international (capped young) and former Chelsea development squad captain. 30 games in English league 2 last season.
Sounds promising and a decent gamble on a young player imo.
6ft 3 as well

No, certainly not for the money he'd want.
Theres something there but we need folk with heart and ability this season, and thats not him.
I would take him back tbh. He suits the system being played better now rather than the way he was used by davidson under his second spell. I very much doubt we could offer him what he would want anyway but for the right money he could be an asset.
i don’t think there is any doubting he has ability

Was there not a comment at the last forum (before last night) that Sinclair was the only one who had been offered a new contract until our top flight status was confirmed.
That’s a good 3 months or so ago now, so maybe this is planning for the future as Ross has either indicated he’s not going to sugn another contract, or dragged his feet too long?
just speculating mind

Surely not coming in to be a benchwarmer though - macca wasn’t messing about when he saud he wants 2 number 1 keepers

I'm at the point where I'd probably be happy to take 4 guys on loan who are keen and hungry to impress and maybe an experienced back up goalie if we are looking to sign 5 players. Short termist but it means we'd be able to completely cleanse ourselves of the mess left behind by Davidson next summer. I really could do without us signing numerous 33 year olds on multi year deals again this summer and that seems to be where this is headed. I can't see us spending fees on players given how much money we've chased after bad over the last 18 months so that seems like the least worst option to me now the gettable lower league players who deserved a shot in the top flight are now all taken
If we got 4 Milchell’s/montgomerys I would agree - get our young lads on loan to a good level and ready for next season. If we get 4 dendonker’s maybe not so much

Jamie MacDonald is a good, solid back-up goalie and, despite what the manager is saying, would mean Ross Sinclair is going to be number one.
I can see why managers might not be keen on a player/coach in a goalkeeping role but it would have freed up budget if it was decided that Sinclair was going to get the nod.

This is where I am with it too. Would be a solif back up option.

Cheers Bonzo. The Caley deal exclusively in young guys with no dependents and permacrocks to he ticks both boxes!
Tbf with a run of games I think he will be a solid defensive midfielder. Just dont expect fireworks

Charlie Gilmour any good? He's just signed for The Caley.
Never got much of a chance with us. Always thought he looked a wee bit immobile but maybe its just the way he moves around the pitch.
loves an injury so there is that

We’ll surely want an away fixture first to give the pitch an extra week?

I doubt we could afford them
Might be looking at loans, for the likes of Ferguson or the Ukrainian lad.
I think you would have a good shout with Ferguson and that would suit both clubs. A loan to championship would be ideal for his development.
Max will play for our first team this season I’m sure.

Very fair points - the majority of the injured ones are quite injury prone but I was thinking back over the last couple of years and seem to remember a whole bunch of muscle injuries and niggles? Most of them probably to the injury prone players right enough
Wright probably shouldnt have started Saturday but we’re short on the wings so needs must. Steven is more of a forward but might be able to do a job there this weekend? Unless we change shape and maybe go 433
