Johnstoun Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Watt as a player, Macca as player/coach then f/t coach next season #greedy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 25 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Would people prefer Watt or MacLean? Presuming both wanted a similar wage. Be very disappointed with either TBH. I always liked Watt and was a bit of a defender of his when he was missing easy chances, but his time with us has surely come and gone. He didn't operate as a penalty box poacher even though repeatedly asked to, and that's what we need right now. Macca, absolutely no way unless it's as a coach, a role I expect he'd be good at. His fouling will only get worse as he gets slower. Too much of a liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Time to try something different. Macca is done at this level and Watt can't doesn't score enough. Although there is an argument that Watt could be an effective partner for May or Hendry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toon Saintee Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Around three months until the end of the season.Thats about the extent of Watt's interest in playing for a club so a short term deal should be safe enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) School boy defending. 2 free headers inside first 10 mins. Continuing to defend like this its going to be painful Edited January 29, 2020 by Mr Positive, sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Hearts will be watching this rubbing their hands. We have a clear problem playing against forwards with movement. Killies big donkey on Sat. Ikpeazu no problem. It's been a trend in our defeats from the likes of Hibs as well. Naismith & Boyce with a bit of movement, were in trouble. Edited January 29, 2020 by Mr Positive, sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're overthinking a game against a team who's miles ahead of the league. Naismith and Boyce are good, but are in no way close to Griffiths or Edouard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we defend like we have tonight you won't win any games. I don't care if it's Celtic. You cannot simply not track movement, allow attacking players to meet crosses into the box without competing for the ball. All our wins this season have came against sides with big donkeys or slow old b*****ds up front. I've been thinking it for weeks. This isn't just because of tonight. There's a clear trend.

Bose Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Full backs/wing backs are the bigger concern for me. They seem unable to get close enough to prevent crosses coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Two days now, without distraction, for any transfer business to be completed, before the huge game on Saturday. Assume Vihmann leaving is just a matter of time. Can't see any issue with this Sorenson deal if its legit, so just leaves a striker to be speculated about. Means squad depth for the rest of the season will be... GK - Clark, Parish, Johnstone CB - Kerr, Gordon, McCart, Duffy WB - Booth, Tanser, Wright, Ralston CM - Holt, Davidson, McCann, Wotherspoon, Sorenson, Craig ATT - May, Kane, Hendry, MOH, Swanson, NEW ST Seems about right, in terms of players per position, if we stick with 3-5-2, with the knowledge Wotherspoon, MOH, Wright and Swanson can all play on either flank if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Be interested to hear how many Saints fans were there tonight to see how much of a negative impact the seating arrangement had. Trying to work it out based on the amounts each stand holds. Crowd of 8743 apparently, which might include all season ticket holders regardless of attendance? Am I right in thinking that's the biggest crowd at McDiarmid Park since November 2001 @Radford ? Shame it's the only way to do it, and you have to try to blank out their pish, but it was nice to see McDiarmid almost full under the lights just for a wee change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest I remember the days we had this set up anyway and best rangers 3-1 that game was used in a football soap. It makes sense and if I’m honest second half was far better than first. If we played that way in first we had a chance. Maybe not being a main stand ticket holder I thought the players appreciate the fans more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
