He was comfortably the best keeper in the championship last season, and at Saints at least, he's been much better than bigger (and more expensive) names like Paul Gallacher, Marian Kello and Jamie Langfeild. He's also better than Billy O'Brien. We could probably get a better keeper, but it's not a priority. He had the best defence in front of him. The back four hold the clean sheet record. Deservedly so, for keeping the ball away from Samson. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I will assume the Sunderland fans will not be too fussed about winning the Checkatrade Trophy. Absolutely no chance of Cup glory with Ross and Fowler in command. Cue the reddies -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta hurt. Normally you need to wait a few replies before being shown completely up. Anyway, as for the Samson himself, he is very much just a shot stopper, not unlike just about every other goalkeeper from the middle of the Premiership down. He has his weaknesses and his strengths, the big difference comparing him to another keeper in the same vein is that we know what his strengths and weaknesses are and can work around them. It's not like he's Bullock who suffered such a mental breakdown at losing a goal he had to be subbed! Samson got called up when he was playing for us and I was astounded. He is a fucking terrible keeper, probably one of the worst I have seen at killie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every goalkeeper at this level is prone to mistakes, but Samson was a key figure in our saunter to the title, he saved us far more points than he cost us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can remember Samson chucked them in against us the mistake in the 4-1 game was crazy and he managed to let Dale Carrick score of all people in the first half of the season Edited May 27, 2018 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of big saves he made in key moments was a major factor in us having the league wrapped up so early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people laughed when we signed him, and don't like to admit they were wrong, but the facts are Samson was excellent for us this season. To be fair, there probably isn't much in it between Alexander and Samson, but I'd rather have Samson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The key to our good defence was our back four, not Samson. Vast majority of play they kept the ball away from Samson. Like playing with ten men. Going to be horrendous in the Premiership with far better Teams attacking us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of big saves he made in key moments was a major factor in us having the league wrapped up so early. St Mirren had a better defensive record than Livi because they are better going forward and their possession style kept other teams away from the ball much more than Livi's more direct style. Neil Alexander was comfortably the best keeper in the division last season for me but Samson is decent. He may well have been next best. Him or maybe Ridgers. Ludo is right about the Championship though. The standard of keepers has regressed in recent years. To be fair only those three and the two relegated keepers were automatic picks. United, Queens, Dunfermline, Morton & Falkirk all chopped and changed keepers this season (for injury reasons rather than form in some cases).

Gavin Reilly has knocked back Saints twice not because he hates the club more has a new babyand wants to get the best deal possible. Who can blame him he is as sound as a pound. Not like Robbie Neilson who wants money St Mirren don't have to take the club forward. But the idiots can't work than out sadly. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
