Saints v Rangers 23/12/20 6pm


Recommended Posts

That was as easy a win as rangers will enjoy all season. They didn't even have to get going.  We gifted 3 goals out of nothing.

Comedy goalkeeping, wide open in the centre of the park.

5-2-3 is the hill which Calum Davidson looks prepared to die on.  Our home record in the league this season:-

Pld 10    W 2   D 2   L 6      Goals For 4        Goals Against 11      Points 8

 

We're averaging one goal every 2.5 matches.

Really happy with the display overall. The match was effectively dead right after half time when we went 3-0 so it was only natural that it petered out a bit.

Glad we had the luxury of bringing off key players and keeping the legs fresh.

Kamara, Aribo and Hagi probably the picks of the bunch for me.

As for St Johnstone, a brightish start but seemed so deflated after conceding the first. A few bits of decent play created some half chances but nothing too dangerous.

Clark with a stinker and O’Halloran absolutely brain dead.

One enjoyable moment from the game: When Zander clownshoes in goal passed it straight to Morelos, who then missed a fairly easy one on one under no pressure. Earned a good chuckle.

Other than that, absolute shite. Nothing left to say about the guy in goal except that Calum would earn a lot of managerial credits if he scouts and finds a decent replacement in the next two windows. Either way, I think Parish with a run of games has the potential to cost us less at the minute.

Not sure how much we really learned about the #system today - I think it still could be useful against better sides away from home and don’t really think anything we saw today proves that wrong.

The system is irrelevant with Jeremy Beadle in goal. He's absolutely useless and I'd happily never see him play for Saints again. It's the manager's fault that it's come to saying stuff like that though as he's been shite for 18 months. Davidson throwing O'Halloran under the bus post-match but not mention of Calamity Clark. 

Of course Rangers eased off but they didn't look particularly up for it early on before Clark blunders. Second is crap too and we are wide open again at the third but looked to have dealt with it until safe hands showcases his talents again.

Shame that we couldn't see what might have been but with a goalkeeper that concedes from less than every 2 shots on target, that was probably never likely. 

Goalkeeper the absolute priority in January.

You’re right, but the system being so ineffective over the past few months and the  precarious position we find ourselves in is the reason that a defeat to the league leaders is a bigger deal than it usually would be.
