I see your logic, but I'd rather we just went out and tried to win the game and got some goals in us, as its not as if, even if we line up the same way, we'll be playing the same against Brechin as away to Celtic, so theres not much to be learned.

OK what would your team be for tonight?

I'd be going as close to Sundays team as possible for this, the first half hour performance deserves to give them another chance.

No idea what's the best thing to do with Duffy and Anderson, Anderson was very poor so Duffy deserves a chance, but it would feel unfair to only drop Anderson.

Kane should probably start regardless of what happens with May today, he needs to score and get the miss v County out his system or itll hang over him all season, especially if he barely plays from now on in. I'll be gutted if May isnt even on the bench though.

Rumour at work of May at Dens at the moment, don't really want clarification of this but if anyone's seen anything in that direction........ 🤔

Hope that wasn't a smoke screen and Vine being a p***k (well, bigger than normal)

This is St Johnstone. Do you understand why I'm like this now?

People were complaining our transfer windows were bland as well... 🙄

Not sure I totally agree. Unlike Paton I think there's enough of a player in Callachan to be a utility Davidson. Only just mind. His touch can be poor but his distribution can be impressive at times. He doesn't always seem to be in the right place though. Anyway the jury is still out for me.

Agree with all the other comments. McCann was the better of the 2, and Davidson only really came to life when he got forward. He did well in his usual role of winning balls in the air though. 

Having had time to calm down a bit I'm still as frustrated. No excuses but that pitch was a factor. Time after time our touch players (particularly MoH) really struggled with the ball sticking when they were trying to play little lay-offs. It was noticable how much harder and quicker the passing was by Montrose. Also, it seemed a really narrow pitch to me so I'm not sure that 5 across the middle helped us. We seemed to get tangled up trying to go through the middle with too many bodies (like a rugby game at times), we had nothing out wide because we couldn't get behind or run through their (very good) full backs. And long ball wasn't an option as they always had 2 on Hendry who couldn't do the hold-up play a la Tony Watt. 

Out-played, out-fought and out-thought all over the park really. 

edit: Also their substitutions were more impactful. They took off the tall target man CF that to be fair Kerr was dealing with pretty well, and started to push wide through the channels more, particularly the Swanson/Tanser weaker side. It was staggeringly obvious how much MoH was tracking back compared to Danny. Obviously we had nothing on the bench that gave Tommy options.

There are very few fans in the know, I'd maybe trust 2 on here.

 

You're not one Widge.

This rumour has come out shortly before the news of Kyle Lafferty’s release from Rangers. Prepare yourself for a staunch strikeforce.
