Lyle Lanley Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Hopefully the Saints are tired from tonight's result. Looking forward to seeing Tavares coming off the bench to score a hat-trick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Saints will be tired but the best days of Tavares are well in the past. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It had to happen sometime. Put progression in European competition to one side for a few days and turn our attention to bottom six jobbers who are on their 30th manager in four seasons. 5-0 Saints. Fitzpatrick, Stark, Richardson, Beckett, O’Hara (pen 90+5). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 We'll have to play much better than we did last night. We need to close down players more quickly. Will be difficult with us missing several first picks. Hopefully Mandron will be fit. Iacovitti in for Taylor. Fully expect Rooney and Iacovitti, the latter whom I will be referring to as The Yak from now on, to score hat tricks. No idea what to expect really. Missing the game as I booked a weekend in Newcastle without checking fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only beat what is put in front of you, but you're right. It was nice to get a victory, and beats knocking about with the seaside league teams in the League Cup, but both Brann and Hibs are going to be a notable upgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEETHING Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The only similarity between Bran(n) and Hibs is that both are associated with shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing the game as I booked a weekend in Newcastle without checking fixtures. Why would you put Iacovitti in for Taylor? I love big Taylor. Iacovitti needs to bide his time and earn his stripes in my opinion. He doesn’t just walk into the team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Because Iacovitti is a far better player. We didn't pay a six figure fee for him to be on the bench. Edited August 2 by FTOF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not Franco Baresi. He’s a guy that used to play for Ross County, went down to England and has come back up as he was surplus to requirements at Port Vale. I’m not for one minute saying he’s a bad player, I’m just saying he’s not good enough to just waltz in and take the position of someone who in my opinion has been playing very well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor has been playing well and strolled through the game on Thursday. Iacovitti needs to bide his time. The same as Tanser. Brown has come in and claimed the LB spot with his displays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 We"ll see. I"ll put my hands up if I'm wrong, but once Iacovitti is fully match fit, Robbinson will have him as first choice LCB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I love Taylor. Reads a game brilliantly and passes well. Pushes the team up the park. None of this square ball stuff but always a forward pass. And the guy can play football. First choice for me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Agreed. Taylor for me. He has the odd wobble but is an excellent all round footballer, who is only going to improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Taylor for me is a starter, it’s a real asset to have a ball playing centre half, he’s happy to get on the ball and start off attacking moves. The manager wanted two players for each position, so it’s a really good option to have throughout the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Taylor is a superb player whose ambition looking and wandering forward admittedly does lead to the odd brain fart. Bit compare that to the rash, positionally naive player who joined us and the difference is night and day. He's easily the best footballer we have at centre half technically. He starts for me until Iacovitti forces the issue otherwise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
