Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Meh.

Happy enough to keep the squad together, but still not sure where he actually fits. If he's taken a hefty wage cut and is a squad player than that's fine.

I'm nonplussed to be honest. I'd happily have seen him away and I don't think he's done anything to deserve a 2 year deal. However if that wage of his has been reduced then I'm probably fine with it, we know what he can do and he's a useful impact sub for the last 15/20 minutes of a game if we're winning or losing to be honest.

Starters - Clark, Kerr, Gordon, McCart, Rooney, Booth, Craig, McCann, Wotherspoon, May, Kane

Subs - Parish, Davidson, Bryson, Gilmour, MOH, Hendry

Matchday squad is coming together now. Desperately need defensive cover of any description, and probably another winger and striker.

Can't imagine there's many other teams so settled in terms of quality and depth at this stage of the season.

Still expecting Tanser to leave, but Tanser, Brown, back up CB, Wotherspoon back up, Striker and we're probably good to go?

Can then add a Middleton-esque player too if you like.

Mikey has looked really good in the past couple of months so I’m pleased to see him stay. Think he’s still got plenty to offer.

Agree TRS, I'm happy with this. Just needs to get off to a good start and get the confidence flowing. The first game at Tannadice killed any momentum he had going into last season.

First 11 and depth in midfield is very strong, we’ve also got more than enough goalies. 
 

defensive cover (both wing backs, one of which can also cover cb), a starting winger/number 10 and a penalty box striker would be my wish list.

Thing is we were running with a squad which was probably 2/3 bodies too light anyway, so having the majority of the squad signed up makes sense. Replace the 3/4 you've got leaving plus the additional numbers and I'd say we're still looking for 5/6 players minimum, depending on where Davidson sees the youngsters fitting in. Realistically Ferguson is going out on loan and I suspect ideally you'd have Gilmour and Ballantyne out for 6 months to the Championship to get game time after the European qualifying fixtures.

So if Tanser has a change of heart and re-signs, and we sign Brown for another season, manage to get Middleton for another season, then we're just a striker and centre back required.

I hate to say it, but I'll be amazed (and delighted) if McCann is still with us next season.

Gilmour is there in case we need to replace McCann, either through injury or sale and to be quite honest the boy has all the attributes to do that. 

This is the first year we can say we have a settled, good enough, team to play our European ties. It's just a pity those ties will likely be against far better sides than we've faced in previous years.

Is it wrong to be more hopeful because we tend to do well against the Rosenborgs and Luzerns while struggling against the Trakais and f*cking Minsks?
