We asked Harkins to run. Madness. -

Or Craig Moore not being concussed for 6 months. Throwing half our player budget at Gary Harkins wasn’t the best move right enough. -

The 16/17 team at least had guys like Boyle, Devlin, Adams, Murphy and Docherty. There isn’t a single player in the current team I would be fussed about keeping for next year. -

Players like Walsh, Chalmers, Baird and Anderson at least made a degree of sense. But they all failed and the balance never looked right. The fact remains we were top half for most of that season with Kerr sacked essentially on the back of 3 consecutive home defeats, one of them against a Hearts side who were beating everybody. Kerr’s biggest problem was that he wasn’t Smith’s man. He didn’t get half the support Bullen has received (and squandered). -

The word postscript got me excited for just a moment! But that’s North Korea politburo stuff. Completely embarrassing. -

I’d honestly sack Mathie before Bullen. About 2 seconds before I admit, but still. One lucky guess aside on Dipo, neither of them have made the slightest bit of progress in their 2 years at the club. The only positives are the infrastructure investment which is all down to Smith. -

Change for the sake of change, though Young will at least have a pop from range. -

He’s a good player, no argument. I just don’t think he’s been doing enough. Another victim of the Bullen malaise perhaps. -

Started the season well for me, but just seems to be fading away. Hasn’t done anything since he came back from injury. -

Murphy has been a real disappointment for me. The stats suggest a reasonable return in terms of goals/assists, but he’s been anonymous much too often for my liking. -

Sums up Bullen. No idea how to exploit the situation -

Arbroath having to call guys out the crowd to make up a team and yet still we huff and puff. -

Really don’t see that Kerr had long enough in charge to really make that judgement. Take covid out of the equation and he basically had less than a year in charge, with more than a few challenges during that period. Think he got the balance of the team wrong in his second season with not enough runners, but Joe Chalmers came to us with a solid pedigree and should have done better. Bruce Anderson ought to have scored plenty at our level, but clearly chucked it after 3/4 games. -

Throwing jelly at the wall aside, I do actually think that looks a better balanced team than last weeks nonsense of one up front with Paul Smith playing as a number 10. Rose is poor, but he might do a wee bit better playing around an actual recognised forward. -

This week’s tombola of desperation returns Rose and Syla to the starting lineup, with our best midfielder from last week dropping out. Who knows? Think Ahui is maybe a wee bit hard done by too as we know McAllister is at least as pish but with less pace, -

He makes Frankie Musonda look like the bionic man. That’s why inverness are desperate to get rid of him. -

I’m sure Mathie said in his new year message that we were definitely looking to “trade”. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Rose heading back down south, perhaps on loan. -

Interesting appointment for Queens Park. You could argue that he inherited a St Johnstone team that was approaching its peak then had to deal almost immediately with that team breaking apart in a very short period of time. Common complaint seems to be his recruitment was terrible, and with the expectations of the fans raised sky high by 2 cup wins in a year it all seemed to go to pieces pretty quickly. Total gamble really that there is actually a decent manager in there who was overwhelmed by a perfect storm of problems all at the same time. Wouldn’t exactly have been buzzing if he’d got the Ayr job, but given we’re circling the plug hole to League 1, I could have lived with it. Even a brief new manager bounce for them could be fatal for us.
