Fife Saint Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's fucked. Probably a 'pausing' of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthsaints99 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Providing the season isn't put on hold by wee Nicola, I take it we'll be playing in our pants tomorrow? Unless Rangers wear their away kit at home... I seem to remember (correct me if I'm wrong) Saints wearing our away kit at McDiarmid Park against Dundee at some point? Must be over 10 years ago now, but it always sticks in my memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sconesaint Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Rangers will probably play in away kit. They won’t mind showcasing it to punt a few more in the shops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completed more passes than either Muzz or Craig last season, probably because his passes were also, on average, shorter than both. Wouldve liked to see him and McCann in a midfield two, as i feel like both are more than capable of linking playing neat one-twos all over the park. Its not a strength of Davidsons. Last season the top ranked in terms of on the ball stuff were... Goal threat: Davidson Creating high quality chances: Craig Completing passes: Holt Everything else, and second best at all the above: McCann Neither Craig or Davidson completed more than 72% of their passes (McCann 76%/77%, Holt 80%/81%), and neither attempted as many passes as Holt either.

nelsjfc Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I still find it hard wrap my head around McCann, we've produced an absolute gem.I'm the same. It is how complete he is that amazes me - brillant without the ball, keeps the ball when we have it and is a threat when he plays further forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Indeed, I thought Kyle McClean looked like the better of the two players when they were both given an opportunity to prove a point in the pre-season/cup matches. McCann's rise to prominence has been remarkable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don't think anyone missed a trick with McCann, he just developed at an alarming rate in the early weeks of last season. McClean was definitely ahead of him at the start of the Betfred Cup group and I remember after the game at Forfar thinking he was definitely going to be headed back out on loan. I'm not even sure what the manager really expected when he threw him on at Celtic Park on the opening day but talk about taking a chance. He ended Ross Callachan's Saints career that day and probably within a fortnight had moved onto a different level than McClean. I'm not sure there are lessons to take from his development even, it's just a remarkable story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 McCann just wants to learn. I suspect he’s like a sponge in training. Tactically can almost guarantee he picked up his new role quicker than anyone else. Helps he’s very very good at football, but tactically being turned on is a massive positive in improving and making the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I thought was fantastic last year was is absolute refusal to be bullied by established senior players. He's got a real physicality and he knows exactly when to use it, his fouls and cards are pretty purposeful and never hot-headed. Real confidence without (from what I've seen anyway) arrogance. Just hope that the season isn't so disrupted it puts his development back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 McCann biggest issue this season might be getting man marked. I didnt pay great attention last season to notice how often it was happening, but it was noticeable against United that their plan was to keep him off the ball. Craig didn't seem to get the same close attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be over 10 years ago now, but it always sticks in my memory.Was that not way back in the mid 90's. I remember Gerry Britton running about in our away top.Sure Dundee's away top was a greeny/blue and white effort that clashed with our bluey/bluey/bluey and white home top. The first game that season we wore our away strip and so did they.More recently I've noticed that Dundee and indeed Ross County, have been able to wear their home shirt against us at McDiarmid. The rules must have changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
