From that point it seemed that Saints were the better team in the first half, Kirk Broadfoot going on a typical waltzing run and forcing Kelvin Jack into a save. Sadly, despite having the better of the game Dundee scored with just under fifteen minutes left through Simon Lynch, and again a few minutes later thanks to Tam McManus. John Baird deflected a clearance in with a few minutes left to give us hope, but sadly the season started with a defeat.
From talking to people who were there it seems that we can take a lot of positives out of the game as we created chances. However, the game once again highlighted our need for a striker and there also seem to be a few defensive problems.
On Scotsport, David McKinney made the stunning claim that Saints will sign some players in the next few weeks. I wonder how he worked that one out considering Saints boss Gus MacPherson continually says he is hunting for players?
