Barney Rubble Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Last few games have challenged the assessment that our squad is "thread bear". Slightly disappointed with today's result but a draw with St Johnstone is no disgrace and I thought we looked the better team, without Gallagher, Seabourne, Welsh, Fraser, Higginbotham, Stevenson, who all may have been considered first choice at the start of the season (and some still are) On what basis would Welsh have been considered first choice at the start of the season?

allyo Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 That hes our club captain and one of our best players maybe?? Yeah, this. Not necessarily saying he would be straight in, but I'm sure a fit Sean Welsh would be in the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 That hes our club captain and one of our best players maybe?? Despite being out for the last 66 weeks? (Actually only 47 weeks.......but you get my drift.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Last few games have challenged the assessment that our squad is "thread bear". Is he or she related to Yogi Bear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Is he or she related to Yogi Bear? :-) I'm claiming that the i-pad did that for me. (Not completely sure though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andynptfc Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Despite being out for the last 66 weeks? (Actually only 47 weeks.......but you get my drift.) The point being that if everyone is fit, sean welsh is a first choice. He's been out with a long term injury, doesnt mean he isn't/shouldn't be a considered a first team player.

Jaggy1967 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Did Graham have a side bet on getting booked in 44 min or what ? Was like a man possessed chasing every Jags player in our half so much on 44 mins, that the 'ole' rang out from the stands, he was clearly looking for a booking in my opinion. Would be well pissed if I was a Saints fan with that nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy1967 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Seriously ? His crashing into players stc played no part in his booking ?

Stewarty Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I thought we were generally okay today considering that a few of our best players are still injured. The ball just didn't fall for us in the box. On another day, with a tad more luck, we would have won by a couple. I thought Frans and Balatoni had good games and Osman and Bannigan controlled the midfield for long periods, particularly in the first half. Craigen was a perpetual motion machine; he never stopped running. What we're lacking, as the scoreline suggests, is that bit of creativity needed to cut through well-drilled defences. Lawless played well but when he receives the ball centrally he does have a habit of turning sideways or playing the ball out wide. We don't seem to play many through balls. Elliott was more direct but the final product wasn't there, apart from the time when he fouled the defender then curled it into the top corner! So, not a bad performance and a game we would have won with a bit more luck. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambies Lost Doo Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 St Johnstone parked the bus. No negatives from our team who all played well. Some rockets near me were giving Balatoni stick which I thought was unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy us to go and get a result at Hamilton for some reason. Hopefully their spell is broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewarty Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Damned with faint praise? I hope not. That wasn't my intention at least. I thought he had a decent game but was most impressed with the amount of pressing he was doing high up the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
