paranoid android Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A great shree points for us when it looked like we might drop a couple. Shite news re injuries, but promising stuff from Connor Smith and especially Lewis Neilson. Also good to confirm the signing of Orestis Kiomourtzoglou. Joy Division blasting out of the stadium sound system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Massive win in the circumstances. We had a back three of Halliday, Neilson and Smith for most of that. Neilson was excellent and looked much better than Sibbick has. Ought to be ahead of him in the pecking order now. I thought we needed to bring in a CB and a couple of attackers before that. Now we've got Rowles and Boyce on crutches. Hopefully we've got a busy week ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Delighted to get three points out of that. The changes with injuries, suspension, and rotation meant we lacked fluency to begin with, then the injuries made it a nightmare. Very big day to just dig out a win. St Johnstone are horrific and they’ll go down. Shambles to face an opponent with Hearts’ problems today and take nothing from the game. I’ve said before our schedule will be a major hindrance to league form, and that was a good example today. Against almost any other opponent we’d have lost today. The injury list already looks dreadful. Edited August 28, 2022 by VincentGuerin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bring in another CH i think it's overkill, unless the 3 injuries are worse than they look. Neilson looked more than capable today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Neilson mentioned his metatarsal I think. Halkett and Kingsley being injured at the same time is also not a big surprise unfortunately given their history of picking up niggles. Neilson looked really promising but it's worth remembering that it's St Johnstone and it's one game. Not much to go on from his time at Dundee United. I'd maybe accept signing a right-back instead and allowing Smith to cover across more often, but otherwise I think it's a must. Especially if we want to use a three frequently (I'm sure we will). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a RB that can maybe cover CH would be my preference - Atkinson isn't trusted in a 4 and Smith is getting on. I've also not given up on Sibbick but he's clearly down the queue. We desperately need a physical striker, preferably quick. There's no many of them in our price range so we might need 2 separate ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Pretty feeble stuff from Saints against what was an essence a Hearts reserve side. Really poor defensive display, the one bright light of our season so far. I didn’t see our Rangers performance but the write up of Phillips suggested he was a real find but the early evidence suggests he’s well below the standard required. we are in so much trouble, even if we sack Davidson the replacement manager will now be saddled with this terrible squad too. Could take years to sort the complete mess that’s been made of the team out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylish Kid Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not sure why Grant didn't play today. As he's suspended presumably for the next European game I'd have had him running up and down the park all day today covering everything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
