πSt Johnstone talking points from Pittodrie - and a performance that illustrated how much progress has been made in less than 10 weeks under Simo Valakari.
πKyle Cameron is optimistic about St Johnstoneβs prospects this season.
Heβs also an open book on losing the captaincy to Nicky Clark, who heβs backing as the ideal skipper.
πSt Johnstone talking points from Pittodrie - and a performance that illustrated how much progress has been made in less than 10 weeks under Simo Valakari.
Interesting thought. Hadnβt seen it that way.
Just parked up at Pittodrie for Aberdeen v St Johnstone. Conditions best described as βmacabreβ.
βGratefulβ St Johnstone star Sven Sprangler hails Simo Valakari effect
St Johnstone to face Aberdeen without recognised left-back as manager ponders βoptionsβ
Friday re-up for this week's Spoony Chop.

Episode 6: Jack Sanders' Ceiling.
Dive in. Luxuriate. Then remember you support St Johnstone and start stressing tf out about who should start up front in Aberdeen.

St Johnstone will move players out in January to facilitate new signings β but manager insists no decisions made
One to keep an eye on between now and the end of the weekβ¦
πMatt Smith sought a conversation with Simo Valakari after two matches as an unused sub.
The St Johnstone managerβs message to the midfielder was clear.
Genuinely unsettling.

βοΈTHAT first 20 mins against Rangers
βοΈJack Sanders' sexy football
βοΈWho starts up-top v Aberdeen?
lnk.to/CfrG0b
Yeah, Iβd say thatβs an appropriately wary reaction, Jim.
Also⦠how does this man, who is nine years older than I am, somehow look nine years younger than I do?
Witchcraft.
This weekβs Spoony Chop has had to be pushed back 24 hours, but fear not, it will be recorded tomorrow morning and go live ASAP after that.
Keep your eyes/ears peeled Wednesday lunchtime-ish.
Until then, apologies for the inconvenience.
π The Colonel discusses St Johnstoneβs progress under Simo Valakari, his partnership with Bozo Mikulic and being a footballing centre half.
Jack Sanders is looking ever more comfortable in St Johnstoneβs developing defence.
Two games next to Bozo Mikulic, one own-goal conceded.
And those forward runsβ¦ thereβs more to this guy than meets the eye.
Simo Valakari praised St Johnstoneβs effort and desire in defeat to Rangers.
Suspect Saintsβ very good performance in the first 20/25 mins suggests the kind of identity the manager wants to create.
Work to do in January to get the squad where it needs to be. As we already knew.
Simo no stranger to upsetting Rangers.
Here he is offering memories from his playing days of two big wins over the Gers, plus an explanation of what Saints must do against them on Sunday.
πBozo Mikulic impressed on his St Johnstone debut - and his manager knows there's even better to come.
Simo Valakari speaks well here about the Croatian defender's top traits, plus one element of his game to be improved.

π St Johnstone target new right-back in January,
Simo Valakari full of praise for stand-in Drey Wright, but his stint in defence looks to be coming to an end.
Good news for Drey himself, who has had to curtail his attacking instincts, and the team.
www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/foo...
Certainly looking that way. Keltjens isnβt strictly speaking a RB either though. CDM who can do a job at RB.

Sven Spranglerβs attitude is as impressive as his contributions on the park, according to Simo Valakari.
And the St Johnstone boss has a simple message to fringe players who arenβt happy with the position they find themselves in.
