As a neutral on all things County it seemed like County sign a whole new squad each summer then another half squad in the Jan, especially if involved near the bottom in that Jan window. The Jan mad signing spree's seem to have stopped now though? Are you feeling confident about the signings you've made this summer? Its ALWAYS difficult for clubs in Scotland outside Edinburgh & Glasgow to replace those key players, especially with the amount of goals from the wider areas you've lost this summer!

I'm sure he said on Sportsound in the last week or so that thats something he'll be looking to do but did say he won't just be throwing them in either, need to be good enough etc etc etc. I'm sure he indicated its kinda part of the expectations from the club? Dundee United fans, did I remember that right?

I agree. While May did look a bit sharper and fitter on Saturday if the manager is not making any other outfield signings a well as serious about getting a tune from Bair he needs to give him a run of games. You can't bring him in and just never give him a chance. He's shown in pre season he's up for the battle by the sounds of it so now is the time to show some faith after the patience he's shown. By showing him some faith I hope that translates into confidence. A run of games I reckon would do him a lot of good, he doesn't feel the need to try to over play it in the bid to impress for example and simply just knowing the manager believes in you does wonders for someone's self belief! Looked a threat on Saturday thats for sure. Caveat it being a friendly and all the ifs and buts that come with that though.

Why did Killie want to sign another goalkeeper in Hemming though?

It's fairly clear that Sinclair is not in contention. Davidson isn't even considering it. If he was he would have received some minutes on Saturday. He'll end up out on loan.

He's an ex professional footballer. Not first team like others have said though. Youth kids on a voluntary basis.

It generally doesn't. Does Annan have a bit on their site to sell tickets? Wouldn't shock me if this is another St Johnstone ticket mess though. (If you don't get any luck. It might be worth trying Saints SLO. She's helpful & may be able to clarify patg etc)

I was just thinking its possibly Walker from Killie. I reckon he'd be alright. We'll soon find out though but does indeed sound like not Clark.

Davidson "hopeful" of a new GK this week. Courier.

While I probably wouldn't say it's "embarrassing" what I would say is it follows the trend in lack in the quality of engagement with fans. It's the small things, like when fans every 10 secs are asking about the strips just say "start of July" instead of just silence on the subject. A bit like they did regarding the away kit! Content behind pay walls. The content was MILES better back when it was on YouTube. I actually watched it. Now I don't watch any interviews pushed out by the club. Does anyone read the written match report they post on the site after games?

Went on YouTube to see if there was any highlights from yesterday. Didn't find any. Noticed someone had uploaded the goals from this game though https://youtu.be/ujf2e37TyBg

It those kind of stories are true it begs a question on the agents motives. If a player point blank does not want to sign for a club why is his agent continuously trying to get a deal from said club? Again, if true sounds like that's who the agent wants him to sign for rather than Clark himself!

Many Annan fans planning on making the trip? Welcome (when you arrive) Not ideal midweek though is it!

I'm getting your point. You're being too polite though. Our managers No1 isn't good enough. Based on today there's a clear first and second choice and Davidson's first choice isn't good enough.

Was seen in a&e last night being assessed but like someone else said today had no protection on his legs today. Mahon looked absolutely fine in that role today though.

Was that trialist that Australian midfielder we've been linked with?

Nice bald patch in the Ormond End 6 yard box.

How does that compare to the United offer of circa £3500 a week allegedly offered though?

GK? Away?

Also, while I've been critical of our group of older signings. Mr Lappin is an older signing that was very good for Saints. Although, not convinced Murphy or Carey are in the same league in terms of technical ability!

Saints fans universally are never satisfied with the strip. It's either too plain or has to much going on. Personally... Don't care either way.

Sneak peak shots now on Twitter for those interested

BUT... If he does score some wordlies I'm still on the come down from Hendrys Motherwell winner. When was the last long ranger screamer we got to appreciate from our players? It's been a long while has it not...

They'll say you're a moaner though I do find some Saints fans views questionable like you're saying also (a few calling for the signings of Griffiths??!!!!) Is that football fans in general though? I'm not convinced the squad has the quality either. This summer seems all very Mixu etc era. I hope we're proved wrong though. I've probably thought this about previous seasons teams as well when we've lost key players wasn't right then, convinced I am this time though but time will tell! The key for fans at this time of the year though is to have some pre season optimism. Be excited for the new season. Otherwise we simply won't enjoy it and being a football fan is *meant* to be fun! A distraction from the midweek bore slog. Saints have made it difficult in recent times though to be fun I appreciate.
