A side with no wingers and no-one to play the #10? That's Alexanderball baby! It's Davidson-ball. Entire game plan is based around goals being random things that just happen, so keep it tight as long as possible and if you fluke a goal great, and if you don't then it's 0-0 and that's fine too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Is that Liam Gordon?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWell Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Certainly looks like it. Would be pleased with that. Defensive upgrade for sure. I know he didn't have the best of seasons last year, but I don't think many did for St Johnstone. Edited June 24 by MurrayWell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 28 minutes ago, MurrayWell said: Each to their own, but I found last night to be more peak Alexander-ball than Ketts-ball. Kettlewell does try to attack, albeit in some bizarre ways at times and never, ever with wingers. Formation wise it's pretty much the same imo- 3-6-1/5-4-1 or whatever with four central midfielders. I do agree that we're better to watch than Scotland though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we had one shot, KvV scored. And while it was absolutely hilarious it was also chronic to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 It's been to long since the bold Eric Nicolson was mentioned on here but apparently we weren't the only one's after him. He may have played over 100 times for St Johnstone over the last few years but I've absolutely no recollection of if he's actually any good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This honestly feels as much of a curveball as Ross Callachan tbh. Like, I was expecting us to bring in another centre back but not someone with Gordon's profile. Also, we've randomly just decided to start teasing signings? Cool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine is a St Johnstone fan, likes him but says he's absolutely needing a change of scenery, said becoming captain seemed to have an impact. He fully expected him to move down south. 'Solid enough defender' was his overall analysis, as mentioned above though I think last season was far from his best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) There he is... I mean, fair play if we continue our bit of improving players who've had shite seasons with St Johnstone he'll be prime Baresi. Edited June 24 by capt_oats 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do well to get there, including some results against the odds (Moult’s chip) and in the finals we don’t lay a glove on Celtic or even get close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all orange, verging on red, apart from aerial stuff. He was woeful last season, and is a disaster with VAR as he's very grabby, but there's no doubt he's a top flight CB when he's average/good. You could tell he was taking our struggles personally and being from Perth/a Saints fan saw the abuse he was getting when he was shite ramped up. He'll do well for you IMO and be better than his last year or two with us, but it'll depend how he is mentally. Staying with us and struggling wasn't doing him any good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he play in the centre of the back 3 at Saints? Also, out of nosey-ness did Levein offer him a new deal or had everyone agreed on a clean break before it got to that stage? Either way, with Thelonius looking like he'll be making a move this gives the bold Eric someone else to weirdly fixate on at Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellboy1991 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Genuinely unsure who our starting three centre backs will be. All those signed could be starters in their own rights. Just get a left wing back and another keeper and tbh I think we are done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wright played him there (but dropped him when he went back 4 for McCart/Kerr), he played there throughout Davidsons spell, than Levein did too. It seems to be his best position as its the least technical of the CB positions in a 3. It was never confirmed either way but I feel like we'll have offered him a deal but with a wage cut. He went from major player in the double team and captain to a bog standard CB who was only captain due to his links to the club, and the offer would've reflected that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
