Div Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 3 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Knowing when to offload players seems to be a skill in itself for managers. Wonder if Robinsons nailed it again with Dunne? Arguably shouldn't have got another year after he "left" last Summer but I think we had expected to get a LCB target (Bedeau?) that in the end didn't come to fruition so Dunne was an easy take back into the squad with little risk. Signs are encouraging that we're not fucking about this year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signs are encouraging that we're not fucking about this year. Though to be fair, Dunne was coming off the back of one of his best ever seasons last summer. I think you are right about us not getting Bedeau, but we were all pretty chuffed and surprised when Dunne resigned if I remember correctly. Dunne was a really excellent signing for Saints all told, he was a big part of upping the quality and moving the team up the league. It definitely is the time to move on from him, as I think we are in a position now where we can do a bit better, but considering the slagging we got for signing him in the first place he's been a really great servant to the club. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of us. He had a good season last year but his last 2 months were phoned in performances riddled with errors. I was disappointed that we missed out on Bedeau and Dunne coming back instead felt a wee bit deflating. Overall though, he'll be well remembered for his stint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The game in which he scored his only goal for Saints will be remembered for the wrong reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Got a situation where I need to re-new a season ticket "in person". Anyone know if the ticket office is open today or the opening hours next week? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not open at the weekend mate. 10:00 to 16:00 during the week seems standard at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Sanchez Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) That's us definitely seeded for the European draw after the way things have unfolded today, which takes some clubs of decent pedigree (AEK Athens, Cluj, Astana, Istanbul Basaksehir, etc) off the table as potential opponents.

Current potential opponents. Those with an asterisk are coming through a round so aren't guaranteed. You probably want to avoid Hacken, and probably the Norwegian/Danish sides not decided yet, but beyond that it seems like a winnable tie? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slask Wroclaw is the only other one there that I wouldn't fancy our chances in. Missed out on the Polish title on goal difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Incredible to think that last season we were starting the competitive season against Montrose, Arbroath, Cowdenbeath and Forfar in the League Cup. We struggled through that group….took an injury time goal by Olusanya against Cowdenbeath to stay in the competition before our final match. Even if we were to struggle in Europe and get knocked out first round we still enter the League cup knockout rounds as a seeded team. Win win. Could get used to this European nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
