Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread

Aye.

Wasnt a fan of Davidson, and agree with complaints from players, but some are definitely just seeing him as an easy victim to try and excuse their own failings.

Crawford didnt flop with us because of Davidson, he flopped because he can't/won't defend from midfield and doesnt offer nearly enough on the ball to make up for it.

A sub role is the best he'll get in the top flight no matter what system he plays in, as nobody is building a team around him anymore, so he should probably just accept that.

There’s definitely players who rightfully or wrongly feel aggrieved by Davidson, and with hindsight I wonder how much his style of football lead certain players to leave following the double. 
 

However, Crawford has no right to moan. Guy was getting played in his preferred position, and couldn’t do the basics. Yes he scored goals, but his consistency is non-existent. He should count himself lucky not to be sitting on the transfer or loan list. It’s no secret he’s not a fan favourite, he’s likely seen this as a way to gain favour from some fans.

Any guesses on the one we missed out on?
 

I’d heard Danny Grant mentioned a couple of weeks ago, think it was about 5th hand information so wasn’t too reliable, see he rejoined bohemians yesterday though so I suppose there could be truth in that one.

Don't know much about him but seems a reasonable shout! 🤷‍♂️ sounds like he's struggled with injuries. 

I was keen to know who it might have been as well.

Another potential candidate that we may have tried to get.

The manager hasn't really put a foot wrong in his media dealings since getting the job but I'm not sure why he came out and said about missing out on a player.

Especially when there has largely been an acceptance of his approach, despite the fact it might mean we are starting Ali Crawford tomorrow and will have a subs bench with only one experienced player on it.
