Ross County vs St. Johnstone - Sat 21/9/2024

[Sonam]

Hale is brilliant!

Probably the surest bet there ever was. Guy who tells everyone that we don’t lack leaders on the pitch, gives away a goal

Hope you are proven very right.

Safe to say they've indeed proven it right. Arguably even worse. 

So many players just hoping something will happen instead of making it happen. 

30 mins so far proving everyone right who said Kirk should have been punted with Levein. It's like Davidson all over again.

There is a stunning lack of creativity in this Saints team. If Carey is vaguely fit he needs to be on at half time.

[PSJ.84]

Is Clark up top or in his ‘usual’ role? Guessing Cameron’s mistake was a shocker too? 
 

Union went 2-0 up in five minutes, so I think I made the right choice today. 

[RandomGuy.]

Please. Please. Kill me instead of making me watch this creatively dead side wallow about in a back 5.

Just play wingers and pray something comes of playing folk out wide and stretching play than this death by a thousand cuts sideways passing.

[The Real Saints]

This is incredibly limp. If anything, it's a clear step-down in quality from what we've been seeing.

[SJFCtheTeamForMe]

Groundhog day. 

Yet again a Saints team that have nothing. Opposition managers quite quickly discovered under Davidson and again now just stand off and allow our central defenders to pass it amongst themselves as they'll eventually punt it away...

[Jamie_B]

This ref is giving off severe vibes of giving an unbelievably soft penalty for a shirt pull or something at some stage.

Every ball in the box is absolute panic stations.

I was going to say - we’ve seen this story before.  

[FrankChickens1]

Can anyone remember what Defenders are? Think we used to have some at one point.

It’ll be completely arbitrary though. Two or three times he’s blown up when both players are pulling at each other in a completely 50/50 manner. 

Great chance there for us, first actual sight of goal.

[RandomGuy.]

How shit are Ross County btw. 

We've put in an all timer here in how shit we've been and they've still bottled it.

[RandomGuy.]

Struggle to believe we can be as bad as we were in that half, so great to be level at half time somehow.

[Sonam]

There were a couple of warning signs before that equaliser. It felt like the team had switched off as it neared had time.

I'm still confident County can win this.

[Theyellowbox]

Saints defence is woeful. So weak physically and mentally.

County must be gutted it is level as they could have killed this game.

Maybe a bit further forward but Kirks been isolated at times. He's not done an awful lot at all tbh. Cameron tried to pass it blind in to midfield and straight to a County midfielder. 

[Jamie_B]

Great goal for us to get at a point in the game where we'd completely conceded control. There were ten minutes or so there that were reminiscent of the second half at Easter Road.

Get one of the CBs off and get Carey on at half time. Maybe need Keltjens on for Matt Smith as well so you end up with Raymond and Keltjens either side of the back four, Carey and Wright on either wing and Holt/Sprangler CM.

[Rosscubed]

Akil Wright getting up well to nod the Chilvers free kick back into the box, shame his teammates couldn't make more of it. I'm still holding out for an actual goal from him in second half.
