SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thought in the second half the midfield 2 shielded the central defenders well. Didn't let anything go into feet in and around the ball for them to play wee neat one twos etc. Got a bit of luck as well of course. Naturally pleased with that though. Well done lads. Hope they enjoy their evening. The question remains whether they can translate that performance with a more attacking intent at home to the likes of Dundee but we'll see! Hopefully they can! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Let's see how many have niggles after that performance and having not played much. I actually thought it was quite refreshing having all the new players thrown in. Mitov will be player of the year if he stays fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Lots of decent and few very good performances out there today, new lads all did well. Not seen anyone pick out Smith though - thought he was excellent in reading the game well, breaking up play. He could be big for us this year. Interesting that Macca was saying just yesterday that Jephcott could be October before he's properly fit. Looked like that to me too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't leave him as club captain while you're leaving him out the squad completely. If he's going to treat people like that then he won't last long as manager. That doesn't get players motivated and on side with your plans. Eric Nicholson confirming Gordon was left out and not injured 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liams big enough to take it, as all players should be, no one is a certain starter apart from Miiiiiitov 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyellowbox Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Dick Van Dyke said: Eric Nicholson confirming Gordon was left out and not injured It's actually very good player management from MacLean. Gordon has been struggling for form for a while now and it's, for me, a combination of the burden of being captain at his club and it struggling, along with not really having that competition for his place. Leaving him out sort of relieves him of both and will do him good in the longer term. Also sends a message to others they are dropable too. All only possible now we actually have a near full squad. Today's result will be a huge boost for every single one of them. Edited August 26, 2023 by Theyellowbox 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 A lot of praise rightly thrown at Mitov. Often you see a keeper that makes the great saves he did but then spills a cross or has poor kicking. But his handling and ability at crosses has also been very good; he’s taken pressure of us a few times plucking crosses out the air, and his kicking was mostly excellent today. When you throw in some top drawer shithousery that Macca himself would have been proud of, then I completely agree with whoever earlier on said how the hell have we managed to sign this guy?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 A result out of the blue today. Well done Saintees, unexpected but well deserved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Yeah Gordon being dropped is good. Club captain so shows nobody is safe, but also lifts some weight off Gordons shoulders. Managers need to be brave and MacLean was that today, and got his reward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
