It shouldn't be controversial. Alex Mitchell can feel really hard done by that he wasn't in the side today, whereas Melker Hallberg should feel very fortunate that he's just walked straight back in. I don't think the way we are playing/role he's being asked to play particularly suits him but he's starting to look like the nothing player that Hibernian fans described. Just what does he do? That James Brown has played over 50 games for this football club is a poor reflection on many things. What does he bring to the side that so impresses the manager? I used to feel he was likeable because he clearly tries hard but eventually that wears off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the type of honest pro that Davidson loves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll never have it better in his career than he does at Saints and Davidson will jump to keep him here for longer. Back in the days when we ran with a first team squad of 20 he’d be a useful player because of his versatility. Now we’re running with squads of 34 (Allan Preston said on the radio earlier that we had a very small squad last season, he must’ve been on the mulled wine) he’s a completely unnecessary luxury. The fact he plays most weeks is a really poor reflection on the overall quality of the squad IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, nowhere near as many heart attack moments with Brown. True IMO. Brown and Hallberg really seem to slow us down in moving the ball up the park, which I think we've show some promise in this year with the Stevie Nicks up front. Even Bair is starting to show some potential and MacLelland has a bit of pace and directness in getting ito good wide positions, Drey looks fit and can drive from deep but withtout Montgomery we don't have that option of an outball on the other side. If we can move the ball quick through the middle we look like a football team. Wotherspoon, Carey aren't quick but they can find space / a pass with thier quality. Melker just seems ponderous. To me it looks like Davidson would like to build the middle of the park around Phillips and MacPherson types that can break up the play and help with quicker transitions. I'd like to see Max in that mix too. There is one big advantage to Hallberg being on the park which is that it should stop MacPherson taking right-footed free kicks. Anyway, merry Christmas everyone. Time to start cooking. Edited December 25, 2022 by Valentino Bolognese 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I think more footballers should call out shitey so called journalists. Works both ways tbf, more Maclean/Barnes entertainment please. Should also work with fans too, can see Random getting Cantona'd by some wee twat like Cammy Devlin and I for one am all for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 See Jamie Murphy being linked with a loan move to Partick Thistle. Makes sense I think, we’ve hardly seen him in a good while now and we have a very bloated squad. We seen very over subscribed on the left winger who likes to cut in area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Murphy, but given we’ve moved to a 2 striker formation and he’s about 4th choice attacking midfielder now it makes sense. Him, Mahon and potentially Max out on loan make sense to cut the squad down a little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like Gallacher and think he’s got something to offer if given the chance. I mean there’s no need to run with 3 left wing backs in the squad, but unless we can ship Booth out then I think a loan for Gallacher makes sense to get him game time and then he can have a solid run at being first choice next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really starting to show something pre-injury and definitely has the potential to be the long term option at lwb. Assuming we keep Monty for the season I would agree get Gallagher out on loan and ready to come back and hit the ground running for pre-season with a bunch of games under his belt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 In terms of new contracts, the only ones I’m particularly bothered about are Wotherspoon and May. In addition to them I’d hope we’d make an offer to Hallberg but I can’t see him being with us next year and Kane and Brown will no doubt get an offer too. Including youngsters I make it that we already have 17 players signed up for next season already. Depending on the ownership and how big a budget the manager will be allowed, not sure there will be much wiggle room if all of the above do stay on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
