SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The Sinclair one makes so little sense to me. He's not going to play at Saints unless Matthews gets injured. Unless Matthews is nursing a niggle and they think Sinclair may get 4-5 games minimum... Sinclair will already train with the club most of the week, certainly on the days his loan club aren't training in the evening anyway. what's the point in him sitting on the bench? 🫤 Am I missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the script with Parish as well. Could be something there we’re not privy to. I’m less bothered by the Sinclair situation than Max tbh. If the plan is for him to be number one next season then it could be worthwhile him having a few months of consistently being in the matchday squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Cammy McPherson the key player, who has had 3 starts all season. No doubt Nicholson is being fed this stuff but it’s on a par with saying Gordon is now back to his best after one half decent performance. The positive reaction to last Saturday - our 6th defeat in a row - is bordering on hysterical from some. We played better and we finally moved away from a shape that hasn’t worked at all for 2 and a half years but Jesus Christ.

Sinclair number 1 until he makes a mistake in the league cup and Davidson decides he needs someone he can trust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parish is moving into coaching according to the article about Sinclair returning. Likely Parish is now 3rd choice, only in complete emergency option? Unsure if its better hes miles away from the first team or worse that hes now coaching the keepers tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a one off cup game we had 1 shot on target against a team we’ve already beaten this season and people are creaming themselves. It just shows how low all our standards have fallen under Davidson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be Davidson attempt at making it seem like the obvious choice to drop Phillips.

The Saintee Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Max is just unlucky and our promising young goalkeeper is back to sit on the bench and to continue being coached by the worst GK probably any of us have seen at the club.

mizfit Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Macpherson looks good when coming off the bench. Frustratingly it’s the same with Crawford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half wonder if Parish has instigated it in some sort of way.

RandomGuy. Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 @The Saintee Spoiler Lower half top flight player, is what it sees. If I'd never seen him play I'd suggest you need him to be allowed to play high up the park (high creative score, high goal threat, high ball carrier, dogshit defensive figures). Last season as poor as hes been in the top flight and regressed massively at a lot of things. Against team average for CMs he was woeful defensively and in attack, his value mostly coming from keeping the ball and running with it. Not convinced the creative scores aren't because he takes set plays? I can't filter those out if they create a chance. McCann well clear at virtually everything apart from creating chances, which feels fair? Always felt McCanns one weakness was his final ball. Not convinced Preston has worked out well for McCann. Caveat he was punted to wing back for some bizarre reason by their clown of a manager so playing a completely different way to most CMs will skew these scores. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it all depending on what you like to believe. Computer says he's better attacking and is shite defensively but super Cal reckons he's a natural CDM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Apparently the 6-3 friendly defeat to ICT is the main reason why we've havent played a back four this season. The game where the squad got delayed on a bus for 1hr and barely had the chance to warm up and, if hes right about playing a back 4 that day, had a midfield of Gilmour, Ballantyne, MacPherson, Crawford and Max. Back to talking about how "flexible" things are, similar to how this Summer (after said ICT game) he was talking about switching between shapes and how the back four is "now an option". "Personnel" will be swapped about tomorrow. Edited January 27, 2023 by RandomGuy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 That’s twice he’s played a back 4 and been spooked. He was also apparently spooked at Livi away early into his tenure. He needs to get over these blocks or he’ll never be anything than a coach with 1 good managerial season behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) If that's the case why hasn't he been spoked by his back 5 formation after countless horrendous performances using that? 🫤 Could it be because he favours it above all else despite saying he doesn't?

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Zak Rudden is Davidsons latest signing attempt from Dundee He's not managed a whole 90 mins for Dundee in the league this season. Goal record this season isn't horrific though Edited January 27, 2023 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would arguably be nothing to do with the formation at all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
