Radford Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 First time in a while we've been in the stadium for a game with nothing riding on it for Saints. But it was still disappointing to throw away a comfortable advantage. Felt it was a game we were in complete control of and playing some decent stuff but we defended really poorly for the bulk of the second half against what was simple football from County. Whether it was standards or ability, that is a concern. Continuity won't cut it and I remain to be convinced that isn't primarily what Steven MacLean offers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Jakey Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 For the neutral that would have been a very enjoyable game, I am surprised we managed to get back into it to be honest, at 2-0 down we looked out of it. We still have a lot of dead wood - Randall again wasteful in possession and Kenneh looked half asleep in the first half. I saw Kenneh got a roasting from the bench just after half time and he showed a bit more urgency and improved. I know we paid actual money for Simon Murray but he doesn't look like a Prem player, he simply wants too much time on the ball and he isnt afforded that. I would play Samuel and White against Killie for sure, Samuel has great ability at holding off and turning defenders. As others have alluded to, the late equalizer doesn't change our outlook vs Killie. We need to win, Killie need to draw, will that mindset prove helpful come Sunday? I know who has the easier team talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who has the easier team talk. I know who had the easier team talk last night as well, but that didn’t stop County not turning up for 50 minutes. There’s definitely more spirit than ability in that squad, but it counts for nought if they can’t start/see out games. I think I’d have Cancola in for Kenneh, unless Dhanda is out, which would be a major blow. If he’s fit, my tactic is give the ball to Dhanda and hope White gets on the end of one of his passes. FWIW, I see our Facebook fans are all for dropping White. I have very little sympathy for Billy White and his incessant trolling, but there are times I wonder if I’m watching a different team to those people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Jordan White is by a mile our most effective striker, but he’s on the verge of a move to Barcelona (or indeed St Johnstone) if you listen to his dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor first half performance has been a theme this season, most recently last night and the Livi game. This may be tentativeness or a nervousness amongst the players, but it could also be a tactical naivity by Malky, who doesnt set his team up correctly and then takes 45 minutes to rectify and adapt to what is happening on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up our transfer business as a whole since Wright left though. White has done this season there's no doubt about that but in no uncertain terms should Saints be chucking money like that around on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember though, it wasn’t him. In no way was that poster related to Jordan White. It was just a Stirling Albion fan sick of seeing St. Johnstone getting above their station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) For those who criticise Jordan White please remember how important his goals are since the split. We are on a +8 goal difference with Dundee United and that just might keep us from 12th spot should we lose on Sunday and Utd win. Since losing 6 to Hearts that cushion as good as vanished, but his 4 goals in the past 4 games have helped us recoup that gap and they may well prove vital. Finally take a bow Jack Baldwin, that was a super strike. Edited May 25, 2023 by silver 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
