Drew 0-0 against Aberdeen today. Clean sheet against Aberdeen is a good effort. Not sure how well Zach played, but it looks like he’s having a positive effect on the St Johnstone defence.

If I may so Lordromford, you down played that a little, it's an excellent result against a top four side with Zach at the heart of that defence.
Can we just give Zach Mitchell all of the Sanders money to sign on and enjoy Steven Anderson 2.0 for the next 10 years!
Same at the other end, I didn't see Aberdeen causing any real problems. Mitchell outstanding back there and how he can't get a game at Charlton is a mystery....would like to see him back next season.
The guy is too good for Saints. Maybe the Celtic money could help towards a signing on fee.
On the positive side the defence looked comfortable. I don't have enough words to describe just how impressive Mitchell has been. If he were 30 I'd still be impressed but eve at such a young age he was the best defender on the park.
I am over the moon to read all those great comments about Zach !
From the times we have been fortunate enough to see him play, they are so well deserved. He is a very special young player with a huge future ahead of him.
We can but hope that the supporters of the club he joined from a young age will have the privilege of watching his success in the red shirt for years to come.
The problem he’s got is his competition is from our three best players in Ramsay, Jones and Coventry (if we used him as a DM). There’s no obvious way to fit him in, so he may have to be patient for his chance.
Of course it’s also possible someone is sold and he slots straight in as the replacement.
In a 46 game season Zach will get opportunities and similar to what has happened to his namesake, it's whose name is on the shirt and what performance he produces to retain that shirt, Ramsay has proved that with his performances in Alex Mitchell's role. With his flexibility, Zach has options or rather the manager has, Alex Mitchell does not possess that option as far as I can see.

But he could be our fourth choice CB and second choice, maybe third choice, CDM. That's a good way to ease him in. There will be injuries and suspensions throughout the season. It's the advantage of having squad depth.

Was told today he was easily the best player on the park for them and been doing very well.

I have a life beyond this site.
Perhaps you could have a word with Smithy who didn't update the Zach subject title with the latest news.
