St Johnstone - Man Of The Match Thread

[fat_tony]

I was surprised the Sunday Mail only gave a 3 to Bob McHugh.

 

I wasn't. They also gave Dougie McDonald a 7/10 rating and said he handled the game well.

 

Voted for Forbes. He misplaced a number of passes but when he got it right it was superb and he seems to be the heart of the team when things are going well. Just now to wait and see how he copes when we're really up against it. However, his class was what kept us in the game yesterday IMO.

 

Thought O'Brien had a cracking second half but was loathe to try and go past players in the first for some reason. There were a number of occaisions I felt that he head the measure of the right-back but chose to stop and pass back/inside instead.

Forbes for me. Very composed on the ball, although can tend to dwell on it at times. That said he was terrific again yesterday, and what a goal!

[frazwellfan]

Coke gets my vote. Looks like he will be a good signing.

Hately for me only signed during the week and shoved straight into right back and I though did an excellet shift

 

What was Hammel doing at the kick off after the first goal ? Was he arguing with the St Johnstone fans ?

 

Did anyone see the Well fan throwing his pie at Hammell in total frustration, it only just made it onto the pitch. Police took him away for a chat but let him go back to his seat. Funny as fuck.

Hately for me, put in a good shift, has a quality pass and was only signed on friday. Think surprised a few folk how good he looked.

[MelvinBragg]

Though I agree Hately had a good game, it's a bit of a con to say that he only joined on Thursday or Friday. He'd been training with us for the previous two weeks. He won't have been totally unfamiliar with the rest of the players...

a wonder who that was haha

Like most, I too went for Ross Forbes. Class performance. What was he like last season?

 

Special mention for a good shift from Jimbo O'Brien - especially since he must have been all syched up for a day's shift at Right Back.

 

Tom Hateley did well making an unexpected debut - out of position. Or has JG signed him cos full back is just one of many positions he can play?

[Martin86]

Jim O'Brien for me. That was his best game for a while, very unluck not to get on the scoresheet aswell !

 

Mention to Coke aswell who again looked class today.

Looks more like a battle for 3rd place than anything else but if you haven't voted yet and still want to do so, I'll give until about half-nine, ten o'clock tonight before closing the poll.

Was funny when Humphrey got caught out of position and then managed to slow the guy down.

[alanbmfc]

Hateley for me, had a hand in both goals and was solid throughout. Forbes was class and his goal compilation dvd, 'Forbesy's Finest' lets say, is taking shape nicely.

 

Coke very good in the air and in the tackle, more to come from him I'm sure. Murph, McHugh, Humph and especially JOB were excellent in forward areas and with Slane to return that's looking good. Just the powerful frontman to arrive and we'll be tearing teams apart.

[rightdodgyman]

Theres a lot of talk about the young boys coming through but O'Brien seems to be playing with such high confidence. O'Brien MOM

[Andy_P]

Voting closed.

 

A win for Ross Forbes, who cuts Paul Slane's early lead.
