The Real Saints Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Much better from Max in general tonight. Nice to see him score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we played well. The off the ball movement was causing Ayr problems. Finishing was very poor. May failing to kick the ball properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Carey looks fitter and more involved but given the hype about his "wand of a left foot" he needs more end product. The bit of play to feed him in when he fell over the ball was sensational, and you can forgive a guy just having a nightmare for a moment, but the cross from the free kick he shelled over the bar just before the goal was awful and far too reminiscent of what he served up last season. I feel like Ballantine, Jephcott and May link quite well, we need to see more of that in the second half and its great to see Wee Max scoring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 To be fair to Carey, the one where he miskicked it out of play, it took a bobble up about 4 inches before he kicked it, not blaming him for that. The free kick aye, but I called it before he even took it. If he’s producing though you can excuse those lapses as you say, but he needs to produce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 That second half wasn’t a pleasant experience. If we were going into a Championship season, I’d feel quite positive after that. But we’re not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drey Wright cannot play RB in the league This second point seems fairly major to me. Wright has to be playing further forward. I appreciate we're still at the bare bones in terms of fitness/injuries to the first team, but we absolutely have to make multiple signings this week. May had a very poor game and Jephcott was extremely quiet barring a couple of nice touches early on, but there was absolutely zero service. Carey very poor. Don't think Max is a winger though he actually had a decent game overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Can't go into the league with that defence. May was rotten but the long punts aren't helpful. That was never a penalty. Ever. Ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of felt like they weren't offering much of a threat in the second half - though that said we had run out of ideas by the hour mark as well. The goal comes from absolutely nowhere - a massive deflection on a shot that wasn't going to end up in the net. But after that we didn't really threaten. The bench is totally bare - just young lads really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Very poor, that was our best 11 at the minute that started that game. Sure, we do have about 7 first team players injured but that wasn't good enough. Shows that we cannot expect these youngsters to step in and be okay. We desperately need signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Saints players surrounding the ref at full time as well. Referee was shite but not to blame for the result. The second half was quite poor. As for the second goal?! Does no one fancy closing it down? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I like what I see from Jephcott, but he’s clearly lacking match fitness and, at this point, he seems to be quite the opposite of the ‘goalscorer/poacher who doesn’t do much else’ that I’ve seen him described as. Not sure why our best player Dan Phillips remained on the bench for the entire match. Ballantyne has impressed me in the last two matches but he’s obviously very raw and needs to refrain from rash decision-making, particularly when it comes to tackling opponents/unnecessarily going to ground in the challenge. Max played well, but yes, it’s important that Drey plays in the advanced right position. At this stage of his career, he has much more of a knack for beating his man than Max does. A decent RB is imperative, I feel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Wake up call for Macca that. From a fairly competent performance v Ayr to that. We simply cannot go into the league playing exactly that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
