    Don't think I've ever been so unenthusiastic about a new season as I am now. 

    The prospect of more MacPherson, Crawford, Davidsonball, favourites picked time and time again, the same substitutions week after week and probably Jamie Murphy being played as a striker. Hallberg out of position and all our creative hopes being pinned on a 33 year old scoring worldies. 

    Good times. 

    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...

    The most worrying part of yesterday's result is the amount of people who seem to genuinely think we've had a good summer in terms of signings and have a good squad now.

    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.

    Jamie Murphy plays best off the left. Carey, Wotherspoon, Crawford and Murphy will all be looking to play that position and they’re all relatively similar in style. 
     

    Murphy was a very good player but recent history doesn’t look great. Another 30+ year old too

     

    33 in August. 

    I don't have any issue with these signings in isolation but all in the one team... Hmm. Again, hope I'm proved wrong.

    Season ticket barcode received half an hour ago

    Likewise earlier this morning. 

    I appreciate it's not a Saints process and is something managed by the online ticketing supplier but I'd be interested (because I've got an interest in these things/work in the area rather than thinking it's a big problem) why batch sending out these codes is completed over a number of days rather than in one bulk job.

    This'll sound sarcastic when I don't mean it too, but any idea why we can't just re-use our season ticket cards from last season rather than getting a new one? I see a few other clubs seem to just update the card rather than replace it.

    I've never tried but a couple of people have told said their previous (2) seasons card still worked last season as well. 

    I presume it's linked to the account of the owner... Either that or there's been a massive f**k with reuse of barcodes or not disabling previous seasons ones 😂

    Classic Twitter, tbh. I think he'll still have plenty to offer. He was never the fastest but that won't matter so much in the position he's in now.

    I guess the real shame is that he won't get a game past McPherson 😉

    That's it's. Twitter all over. Even seen one arguing with Plymouth fans about it 😬😂 why bother. 

    MacPherson, all I can say is fucking hell.

    They weren't players Davidson identified alone.

    January he had help building a list of targets. This Summer we're back to him trying to do it all alone, and that's us back to signing obvious easy targets or agent recommendations. 

    Do you think he had a list of alternatives he worked through before settling on Drey Wright?

    We've learned though based on the minutes signings have played, Davidson doesn't like the alternative options/doesn't trust the method used to find alternative options. Ambrose straight into the team, Mahon watching for months as example.

    He likes ones he can "trust". Known names.

    While we're signing players his way we're unlikely to pick up someone on the cheap and sell for profit.

    Yep, agree too. Agent and pal recommendations, short term signings and generally speaking no joined up thinking is how I perceive Davidson in the transfer market. 
     

    This summer each player has top flight experience and should fit into the shape which is at least progress. Two year deals for a 33 year old and a 35 year old is some gamble though, we saw how quickly Liam dropped out of the team recently and there’s been plenty of others who’s level just nose dived all of a sudden. Anderson, Wright and Mackay from the 2014 cup winning team alone. 
     

    Still, Carey seems to have done well in England and Hungary. Hopefully he can carry that kind of form on with us now that he’s here. Carey set pieces for Considine to attack should be fruitful.

    VAR in Scottish Football

    Remember, what you'll actually get at most games is nothing. You won't know what it being checked and why. You won't know what a goal has been disallowed other than the ref making the VAR motion with his hands.

    The best you'll get is a notice on a screen informing you that a VAR check is going on. Most clubs who have screens only have small ones. Will clubs be putting in larger ones? Probably not. Do the screens note what the VAR check is for (e.g. offside, handball, serious foul play etc)?

     

    The only thing we'll get is the stadium announcer advising us. Although that'll probably only come from the refs visual queue that we'll all see for ourselves anyway.

    Sorry City Centre!

    Moving his stuff into Eetu's flat as we speak... (Joking)

    There was rumours we were after him last week, which I've no idea if they were true or not. 

    Surely he isn't a Davidson signing though?

    Davidson has been very cautious in playing forward players after signing and has been quoted especially when talking about Melamed that he had to be patient, get up to speed and fitness etc. If memory serves me rightthere's been similar comments regarding Bair and Eetu about getting up to speed with the League etc as well. 

    Sonogo did not have a club last season so hasn't played for a conserable amount of time. I obviously don't know what his attitude is like but his multitude of short times at clubs alongside NO ONE wanting him last season suggests to me there is a concern there. As we know whether we like it or not Davidson is not a fan of a player who is considered "luxury" - very happy to be proved wrong by him though.
