Double Winning St Johnstone FC Thread


Recommended Posts

I’m keeping the faith that Vihmann will show his worth in the upcoming weeks as I don’t think we’ll see another central defender signing for us in the near future. Far too soon to judge, but I’m getting some Plamen Krachunov vibes at this early stage. Hope he proves me wrong.

Drop Kerr/Vihmann for Liam, the organisation improves immediately. Zander needs a bollocking, improvement needed or gtf,  Muzz and Craig need to go back to doing the simple stuff well, new signing needed to compete in there, bye bye Ross. Wingers need to work harder, track runners and get forward, hard job. 2 strikers needed. Job done.

Clark is doing the same thing as Shaughnessy did, stalls on a deal, form disappears and he starts to get pelters. If he signs a new deal I’d be confident his form improves.

Zander is a good keeper,  prone to a howler or two though and shouldn't be exempt from criticism. He fucking deserves all he gets with this seasons form imo, same applies to Kerr.

Clark has always had dodgy moments, see him constantly shovelling shots back into the box for example, but thats just what you get from keepers at this level.

It time to back to basics.

Pick a formation and stick by it for a few weeks. 4:3:3 or 4:5:1 or 4:4:2 or 4:2:3:1 or??????

Pick your best team for that formation and stick by them for a few weeks

I believe there has been too much chopping and changing with formations and players.

I suggest 4:2:3:1

Clark

Foster       Kerr       Vihmann       Tanser

Craig       Davidson

O'Halloran              Kennedy                 Swanson

Kane

Agree with Templar’s line-up there.

 

Get a back-up LB. Tanser’s performances will continue to stagnate unless he has competition. He isn’t a particularly gifted footballer so he’s only useful to the team when playing at his absolute best (or extremely close to that).

 

Keep Vihmann in the XI for the moment and replace with Gordon in a couple of weeks if we’re seeing no improvement.

 

In an ideal world (although his contributions will never be forgotten), find a new club for Anderson and bring in a commanding CB.

 

Get McCann and McClean out on loan (or keep one of them and find a new club for Callachan) and bring in a midfielder who is capable of retaining possession and controlling the pace of a game, a la Jody Morris or Chris Millar.

 

Question marks over Danny Swanson. Unless his form dramatically improves, Drey Wright to replace him in that 4-2-3-1 as soon as he’s match fit (Wright on the right with the other two rejigged). If we absolutely need to get rid of Swanson in order to afford the players we require more, then it’s something we’ll have to seriously consider.

 

Bring in a new striker to be our first-choice. If possible, bring in a second striker to be our second-choice, but McMillan will have to leave for this to be a remote possibility.

To my mind, last season we played best with Foster and Wright on the right, and Tanser and Wotherspoon on the left. Kennedy floating behind a striker.

So based on pure gut instinct...

Clark

Foster - Kerr - Vihmann/Gordon - Tanser

Wright - Davidson - Craig - Wotherspoon

Kennedy

May

.. would be mines, it seems.

Just merge the two sites into the super forum WAP&B. They're virtually the same these days anyway. 

Not yet its not. WAP has someone claiming TW won the Cup with Lomas' squad and has never made a decent attacking signing.

The Banter page has someone saying Saints fans are "pathetic" for accepting "middle of the road mediocrity" and TW should be replaced by a better manager. He claims Owen Coyle, John Hughes or Jim McIntyre would be an upgrade. If not we should go for someone in the backroom staff trying to take a step up, like Steve Clarke at Kilmarnock :lol:

If you dislike WAP so much why are you one of the most frequent posters on it ?

@RandomGuy. Could he have posted here because he does not want to defend his comments. Also the posters on the other forum cannot offer support of their comments against his posting
