Radford Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 As @perthsaint1977 said yesterday, that group looks no bigger than about 18 and it's not all senior players, in fact it's far from it. Can at least spot McGowan and, I think, Crawford, who have been absent from training photos but no Brown, Phillips, Bair, Clark or Kane? Is Bair even back? Wouldn't need many toes once you ran out of counting senior players on your fingers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It’d be strange that they’re doing it separately but is it possible that some of these guys are in doing gym work? Suppose it’s more likely they’ll be in with the physio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Phillips is injured isn't he? Clark/Kane might be getting eased in with gym work etc., before a full pre-season, or getting extra rest. Genuinely not a clue how you approach pre-season with long term injured players. Brown/Bair who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he also wasn’t even in the squads so suggests he’s probably injured or needing a rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that would make sense tbf. 2 weeks until our first competitive game and a handful of senior players arent training and we've not made any signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I guess what is important is they don't panic if deals aren't happening and end up signing dross. Guessing there is a closed doors game tomorrow against Falkirk or Thistle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hallberg has had long enough, we shouldn't be waiting around to see if he is going to sign or not. I quite like him when he is played in the right position but he is far from indispensable. Move on and shape the squad without him. Clark having a setback, and with understandable doubts about Kane's continued recovery, means we look light up front again. Clark, Kane & May all up to speed seems fine as the options but ideally we need somebody else I think. Unfortunately there are a number of other priority areas needing addressed, Hallberg's position is not one of those if we are serious about continuing to play Ballantyne and to give Wee Max a chance. Does Ferguson not also play in that area? Plenty of options, albeit untested at the top level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I think we're in a situation where we've no choice but to put trust in the youngsters. Even Liam Parker and Taylor Steven might end up getting game time as it stands. Decision to wait so long to change manager has undoubtedly fucked any planning for this season so MacLean will be chasing his tail trying to catch up with most other clubs. Add in having to try and balance the books a bit better while having high earning dross, and bring the average age down, while building something to build from, and its as tough a job as any Saints manager has walked into for decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most realistic Saints fans see this, no doubt the banter page types will be calling for his head five games into the new season if it's not going well. Macca wasn't my first choice but you have to look at what he's doing, the way he wants to play, his interviews etc and they're light years ahead of what was before him. I have no doubt he or someone very close to him is reading fans forums because he mirrors what's being said on them and addresses all the concerns raised in an uncanny, almost telepathic way. Long may that continue. Oh aye and sign some under 30 quality Macca, preferably with a resale value, cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If we’re well off the top of the league by Christmas having failed to win the League Cup then he has to go imo. We’re a city club and should be aiming much higher than staying up with a view to maybe getting top six. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
