Theyellowbox Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 6 minutes ago, Pens_Dark said: Is this really as bad as everyone is making out or is it just St Johnstone going through a moment in time? For example I don't know much about your team but I know you have a lot of injuries? It all seems pretty shite right now but surely the manager will be given funds to bring new people in, or will he? Short summary (and I'm sure some won't agree) is that based on the team we can currently put out, we are well below what is needed and we'd finish bottom. Big injury list and some of those out would help the side, but we'd still struggle with everyone fit. Get everyone fit and add 3-4 extra bodies of decent quality and we are probably OK. All against a backdrop of a paralysed club off the field and trying to unpick 2 years of poor and expensive signings, which make the rebuild harder than it needs to be. Fair? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us finishing anywhere other than bottom, would be delighted to be proven wrong. If we survive this season, THAT would be an achievement.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think the poor start that St Johnstone have had will be sustained. I could be completely wrong but I always have them down as a team that usually get through it. Like you both say maybe 2 years of mismanagement will finally catch up with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had less talented players in the past, but they had savvy and heart. This shower have absolutely none of that and that goes for some of those that have been around the club a long time. Stick Frazer Wright and Dave MacKay in this side and you'd see a marked improvement in all of the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going for Liam Gordon to be injured dropping a costa cup on his foot ruling him out for 14 months and GMS to sign on a 12 month deal.

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) We're in a bit of a predicament in terms of signings now. Loan signings from somewhere in England especially, those lads potentially have no skin in the game and nothing to lose by joining us. If we struggle and go down they'll still have been getting their 5+ grand a week especially if signed from likes of Charlton like mentioned before and will go back to their parent club and face no consequences of the poor season (if they've still got time on their deal there). Perm signings, who's going to want to come? There's no doubt countless quality players out there out of luck in terms of finding a new club but will they want to come to Perth? Will they also be of the mental and technical standard required to make the MASSIVE difference that frankly we're in desperate need of? All if's, but's and maybe's i guess? I have absolutely no doubt those working at the club on recruitment will be giving it their all though. Randomguy, its about time to get that CV sent in there with your suggestions!

I think we might still be allowed to do a couple of panic loans after it shuts, but not sure. I'd imagine we will do the panicking earlier on in the final week as Steve Brown won't want to pay for the lights to be on that late on deadline day, so make use of the shorter nights before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you’re getting at but I think you’re overthinking it ever so slightly. We’re getting to that stage where players are running out of options and the offer of a firm contract, likely two year deal, at a club with a good financial reputation will be enough for a lot of players. Sure, there’ll be ones that look at the results so far and decide it’s not for them - but that’s potentially not a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, judging by Saturday, a couple of well worked throw ins would elevate a player to legendary status in that team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Robbie Crawford being linked to "two Premiership" sides by the Record this evening. They're not named though. Has a whiff of Saints about it. Although the fact they're not named also smells of agent drumming up interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
