holdnudgehold 59 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Happy enough tbh. At 2 there was no need for us to score and St Johnstone didn't appear interested in going forward to risk a hammering so both teams going through the motions. It was almost too comfortable. Game in midweek more type of game to see how we've progressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put in a real shift. Thought the same, he won the ball back in some really good positions. Which sadly then highlights how poor we are in the transition. We almost seem afraid to just run with the ball and end up being overly cautious. Beale has mentioned a few times about us being 'anxious' and I think in turnover situations we have to be better, need to be far more ruthless especially with the players we have available.

We still lack creativity and urgency and should be scoring more against 10 men at home. Positives Kamara’s goal and another win. Other positives were Hagi and Colak getting game time.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Obviously happy with the 3 points and continuing the decent run we've been on. What I would say is that I want to start seeing more from a performance PO. It was hard work watching that game, slow and very passive in many stages - especially against a 10 man St Johnstone side. Granted they made it difficult for us, but the atmosphere and players were really flat. It'll be a really tough game on Wednesday night and we'll need to be much better than what we've seen to leave with 3 points. Cantwell looked positive, really liked his movement and didn't look too rusty all things considered - very comfortable on the ball too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1994 4,416 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Not saying we should sign him, but we should keep an eye on that number 34 Phillips for St Johnstone. Thought he was good. bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaaaal 967 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Happy with the win but for long spells we were slow in possession with Hearts looming our tempo needs to be far better . Need to see the var decisions again for penalty and sending off and Jacks tackle in real time it looked 50/50 on the edge of the box. Collum I thought can't get worse but today he excelled his usual idiocy in some of the decisions I counted three corners that weren't given and awarding free kicks for amateur dramatics Tillman included at the West Enclosure . On the players I thought Tav deserved sponsors motm linking up well with Cantwell on the Govan Stand side Tillman some superb passes and touches as well as tracking back . What did piss me off was the spells where we switched off and allowed StJ to have a go the one on one with AmvG leading to the sitter could've been costly not entirely cantwells inability to control the ball initially but the overall slackness with which StJ found a route to goal we've gifted numerous stupid goals in those situations it needs sorted .

You'd normally expect that the other team might try to throw some body's forward at somepoint though as nothing to lose. It just didn't happen with St Johnstone today.

Which is why I'm glad Hagi is back, I know he's got a bit of goodwill since he's just back, but him attempting that volleyed pass through the middle got a bigger clap than most other passages of play.

He gets a very hard time on here because of his speed etc, but he attempts things that look horrific when they don’t come off and he couldn’t care less what the fans think. Except the rabona we spoke about the other day when fans booed him and he apologised 🤣 McEwan's Lager 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 8,352 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Cantwell looks tidy. Always moving and looking for the ball. Hagi too has that something different.

Their 34 in the midfield has looked decent against us as well. Yeah, tbh, that's all I have seen of him. But he really has shown up well. Like I said, probably not a #1 for us but a good backup.
