'Another good performance' as Saints run Celtic close

[BBC] We asked for your views after St Johnstone were beaten 1-0 at home by Premiership leaders Celtic. Here are some of your comments: Burnie: Despite a 1-0 defeat I can't help but admire a lot of how we are going about our play this season. Facing the league leaders was always going to be a free hit and the team played with a tempo and energy that was refreshing. The passing interplay, movement and pressing off the ball is definitely better than has been seen for a few years at McDiarmid Park. In the relegation season we played pretty but lacked firepower, whereas this time we look a sharper and more refined beast. Brydo: Another game, another good Saints performance. Poor from Cheick Diabate for the goal, no idea what he was trying to do, but Joel Cotterill looks a player, Enes Alic was superb down the left again and Toby Steward outstanding in goals. No team is coming to McDiarmid park and expecting a victory from now on. Mike: I thought we were disciplined and kept our shape well. We made Celtic look very ordinary at times. We countered very well, had some decent periods of pressure and, with a bit of fortune, might've got something out of the game. John: Encouraging performance from the Saints. Wee bit of luck and might have got a draw. A lot made of Celtic's changes! We also made four from the weekend. Roy: Simo Valakari has crafted a talented, disciplined and united squad of ball players who play attractive football, work their socks off and don't fear any side. The way those who are new to the club or haven't featured regularly fitted seamlessly into the team was a testament to the way they train and prepare for matches. Lots to like and some big results to come this season.
