It is absolutely not unless he thinks it’s clever or even fair to the player’s body to rely on M Davidson as a first choice every week for another season at the age of 34. Also, we don’t really have anyone in the squad capable of playing as the deepest midfielder in a 3. Maybe Davidson is looking to Gilmour for that? Don't see anyone but Gilmour, and even then he's meant to be "box to box" rather than a holding midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't figure out why there are always bigger queues at East Stand now then when you had folk paying cash. Yeah, that bugs me sometimes. Although there are definitely more people going, it does seem to take too long to get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Still shuddering at him thinking the CM area is fine tbh, but he's plenty of time to change his mind on that I guess.I’m viewing the friendlies and league cup as an opportunity for the midfield to show what it can do. I’m sure if it doesn’t look ready or right they’ll go into the market, there’s still 7 weeks left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure if it doesn’t look ready or right they’ll go into the market, there’s still 7 weeks left. This is what I'm hoping. We see a few experiments of a combination of Hallberg/Davidson/MacPherson/Gilmour/Ballantyne as a two then realise we need one who can actually protect the defence. Maybe need one or two out to get someone in so youth gets a chance before we loan them out, which is fine. On a related note, Brian Rice is saying their "first choice target" for goalkeeper, which he mentioned a week or so ago was a loanee from the top flight, should sign for Alloa in the next day or two. Potentially means we've got a new keeper signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Course we've only known since January that Clark wanted to leave. We didn't know what division we'd be in though... Again though the easiest signing to make should surely be a guaranteed top flight number 1 position but if anyone can f**k it up it'll be Davidson. Presumably Allan Preston doesn't have any GK clients. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 In and ideal world, I think we're still 4 players short. A goalkeeper, right wingback, central midfielder and a striker. Will we get even half of them before the competitive season starts, who actually knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying we've known Zander is leaving for ages and the club have had ample time to find and sign a replacement. Which of course they haven't as of yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamora Fan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 right wing backYeah good point this. All we have in that position right now is a winger who can play there or a limited full back who can play there in a push. No one naturally suited to the position, so find it odd Davidson didn’t mention that we were still after one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleary maybe? He did come on at RB on his Liverpool debut, replacing Trent Alexander Arnold (according to Wiki) Perhaps on Sat we might be pleasantly surprised, although I have a horrible feeling nothing will have changed formation wise Edited July 5, 2022 by shibbydoo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's not a Saints process and is something managed by the online ticketing supplier but I'd be interested (because I've got an interest in these things/work in the area rather than thinking it's a big problem) why batch sending out these codes is completed over a number of days rather than in one bulk job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson has had plenty of time to get this signing right and for me the carrot here is that it's a guaranteed starting slot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actions speak louder than words, don't they? For a man who claimed he was building a squad that could flit between back 5 and 4, he's getting very close to having one that's completely built around his 5-2-3 set up if he is genuinely only wanting a GK and winger/striker in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
