valery giving it away again.... results in another save.

Poor distribution form keeper and Valery givign it away, just inviting pressure. >sigh<

Valery did well there as Spurs looked to brak from that corner.

Yeah, he's the guy who is offering no ability to hold up anything to generate an attack.

Ralph's reason for dropping him was lack of defensive ability, wasn't it?

That was a soft one to concede

Fooo...

McCarthy should have stopped that! ooops...habit. 🙂

Bah!

early sighter from AA.

Not a yellow for a total cheating dive?

YEEEEES! That Valery Djenepo partnership to set up JWP! 😀

Spontaneous

That's how quick it was. Too fast for our eyes to follow. 🙂

Ignite

I went with 14th last season. Overall, I'm more optimistic for this season. More strength in depth has been added. The new faces will all be pushing strongly for, or getting first team minutes. Hopefully, we'll have another striker on the way. I'm less concerned about the inexperience of the new signings, than I am about Ralph's tactics. The playbook got found out, and the back up went badly wrong. When RalphBall did work, it was great to watch. My concern is that the new approach won't enable us to reach those levels, while still conceding enough to lose games. But trusting Ralph as he's got a lot out of an underinvested side for good spells. Exhaustive research of seconds looking at each team means I'm going with 13th. Nearly went 12th but caught myself before getting carried away. 🙂

Champion

There definitely something in the Airdrie. 🙂

Match

With he title edit and your further edit, the next one will be reasons to be cheerful part 3 🙂

We Don't need Another Tella, as sung by well known Saints fan, Tina Turner. We don't need another Tella We need to know the way to goal All we want is life above The relegation zone 🙂

A trend that will have to change to twice in [insert time period based on optimism] at some point. Why not this season? 🙂 sorry, what... Young players to settle in... hopeless form for closing period of last season... No goals in that there team...sorry...my wifi must be on the blink... can't read your posts...🙂

Conte will have no answer to RalphBall v2.0. Battling 1-0 away win. If I can't be optimistic on the first game of the season, then when? 🙂
