RandomGuy. Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 FWIW I hope he's able to read the criticism of him. Always struck me as someone who needs adversity to thrive, and struggles when just expected to perform, if that makes sense. Beat games were always coming on when we were losing, or against Old Firm, IMO. Giving him something to prove, someone to "beat", is the way to get the best out him again, would focus him on that instead of all his misses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Had such high hopes for Callum Hendry this season. Really thought we had a player on our hands. Trying to think back to the start of the campaign and about his performances and whether there was much complaint about them. Hard to remember. Hope we haven't seen the last of him in a Saints shirt but not sure what the manager feels about him at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 If a striker with the touch and vision of Melamed isn't trusted, it doesn't look good for one as bad and stupid as Hendry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I see rangers have until Monday to appeal Morelos’ 3 game ban. Hearing on Tuesday if they do appeal. Does it usually come into immediate effect? I’m guessing he’d be suspended for the game against us on Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Steven MacLean was able to consistently outperform it for us, but to a lower level than Hendry did. When MacLean inevitably started missing chances though, he'd just kept going, getting in positions, and bagged them again eventually. Hendrys head went down, started getting wild with chances, kept missing them, and now barely plays so can't recover his form. Mentally he seems weak as a striker. All the aggression/passion/technical ability in the world means absolutely nothing if you can't control your emotions. Hes clearly got massive ability, but if he doesn't sort his head out on the pitch he'll never fulfill it. All IMO of course, before anyone goes mental at me. I just watched clips of all his misses this season and there's a clear progression in how upset he visibly is after each one. Almost in tears by the end. Nah it doesn't help us. Hendry contracted for next season and does have potential. A lower league loan that's arguably below his level, where he can learn a lone striker role, bag goals and get confident, and return next season the best option IMO. Arbroath would've been perfect. Lone striker, hard working side, Dick Campbell. I was talking short term, if we bring in a no.1choice striker for the rest of this season, it’s a good deal imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be astounded if we could find a better striker than May/Kane/Melamed/Hendry in this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'd genuinely be raging if we wasted 6 fucking months wages on another striker to waste in the 5-2-3. The four we have are all more than fine in a front two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 David Wotherspoon, Murray Davidson, Ali McCann and Guy Melamed, take a bow. What a team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Two things on my mind. First of all, are we actually, properly, in form?! 3 wins and a draw in our last 4 games. 7 goals scored, 2 conceded.Secondly, if we play a 5-2-3 should Guy be the striker picked? Kane been good recently but Melamed’s output has been superb - 2 goals and 2 assists in 4 starts right? Certainly shouldn’t be dropped, so interesting to see if Davidson does so when he turns back toward the 5-2-3 in the next few games, as I’d imagine he will against the old firm at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Think we're unbeaten since Boxing Day. Shitfest v Aberdeen now acceptable as we won this IMO. Defence an issue despite that, give away too many easy chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
