Really hope that Zach's happy with this move following his less than positive loan to Colchester.
He clearly needs to be playing regularly so trust he'll have plenty of opportunities at St Johnstone and returns to us determined to fight for a place in the 1st team squad.
A slightly surprising loan move. Scotland, and playing for the bottom side in the Premiership, so a tough, and I imagine, pretty negative atmosphere too.
Says a lot about the Scottish Prem when a club is loaning a defender who can't make the matchday squad for a mid table 3rd division team.
Having said that I really rate Zach and should be good experience for him playing in a physical league, he certainly has the technical ability to make it at a decent level, hopefully he improves his reading of the game and decision making and he will be some player.
Interesting move. Maybe we'll send scouts to watch him plus someone else in their team. If they do get relegated there are a couple of players in their squad who are not bad

Little surprising. I think it’s probably good that he (should) be getting first team minutes, but maybe leaves us even lighter on midfield cover, and St Johnstone seems and odd choice of destination. Maybe there’s something deliberate in that as well, though. Good luck Zach.

Who are their stand out players?
Not necessarily standout players but a fair amount of potential. Makenzie Kirk would be my first choice. Young striker with an eye for goal. Not a bad place to start. If they get relegated I'd expect him to be on the move. Not an out-and-out striker/target man but good as one of two up top
Taylor Steven - another young forward (more of a winger). Got an eye for goal. Stocky little pitbull of a striker

Was wondering this myself, if we were sending him up there not just to scout other St. Johnstone players, but others that he might come up against
Taylor Steven sounds a wrongun though... His name is the wrong way round!!
Doesnt their League table do a weird split and the last fixtures arent announced until they know who are in the top six, and bottom six?
Yep, it’s actually been a pretty good innovation (although you end up with the weird situation of the team in 7th finishing with more points than the team in 6th at the end of the season!).

We send him every good wish.

Imagine Perth FC have to do a lot of defending so it will be good experience for him.
I think he has the potential to have a good career at a decent level.

No one has said he has signed.
