perthsaint1977 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Training ground injury today to one of the defenders. Potential season ending injury. Awaiting scans before it can be confirmed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Of the 4 decent defenders we have, the one we can most afford to lose is Tanser because Booth is at least proven at this level. He's not brilliant or anything but he should be alright. An long-term injury to any of the other three though... I'm going for a cold bath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Given the relative injury histories of the players, it all points to Gordon. But wouldn’t surprise me if it was Ralston, after losing Foster and the panic of Duffy at right back for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I love the people on ‘St Johnstone Banter’ who attempt to act like smartarses in response to Toby LeRone’s posts, ironically failing to realise that they are clearly the thickest people on the page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a complete embarrassment..A lot of them are kids, but there are a large number of brain dead semi-Literare morons on there as well. I have said this before but it really is for people who find WAP just a bit too challenging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Even I'm fucking bored of all this "4-3-3, NO ITS 4-5-1" bollocks, it's just numbers and doesnt matter a fucking jot. I dont know a mid tier team on the planet who doesnt have wingers who track opposition full backs, so that's one of the most bizarre things to moan about I've ever heard. Are we expecting to allow opposition wingers and full backs to double up on our full back and escape with it due to some magical ability we'll then have to dominate games, purely because someone is standing 10 yards further forward? I tend to agree with TW, to a degree, about individual mistakes being as relevant as the set up. Defenders do their fucking job then we dont concede the embarrassing goal on Saturday, penalty taker scores a free hit from 12 yards we get a goal. If Muzz hits the target with a header from about 3 yards we get two goals. These are minor moments which played a huge part in the result. We didnt play well, but nor were we totally and utterly outclassed. To me, you stick with what you trust, dont panic, and trust in things coming together. You then get confidence restored, players become more comfortable on the ball and less desperate, and things improve. The worst thing you can do is panic, change everything, keep losing and then have absolutely no idea what you're going to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABSOLUTELY no idea if that is correct or not though. Edited October 2, 2019 by Mr Positive, sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Put it this way, in that video of the team playing FIFA, which was presumably filmed the other day, you see both Ralston and Tanser, so not convinced it’s one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who do you partner Kerr with? A 20yo right back with about three senior games, or a foreign CB who vanished out the squad after two games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
