If you had had your way he would no longer be a St Mirren player. Yep that was my opinion last season, clarified it in another post. I didn't have a crystal ball about the Mac and Davis injuries.

pondsman Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Great result last night. Wasn't plain sailing by any means. Scored one magnificent goal and one good one but we were under pressure for parts of the game. Great to see us stand firm. Particular credit to Stephen McGinn and Jack Baird but, really, the whole team did so well. Credit to the drum and choir. They created a fantastic atmosphere for the travelling fans. Up to a point I can understand the disagreements on here about Jack Baird. He might have given away an early penalty last night before coming on to an excellent game. From where I was sitting, looked like he was caught out by McManus who got in front of him and he then wrapped his arms around him. However, my view of the lad is that the positives far outweigh the negatives. Perhaps a little mention for Harry Davis. Seems to me that Jack has settled very well since being partnered with him. United must be really worried now. I'm sure they realise just how difficult it will be to get promoted via the playoffs. They really need to win the league to go up and it doesn't look like they're going to do it. Unusual thing for a Buddy to say but, at Tannadice today.....Come on the 'Ton!

Also, first victory through in Dunfermline for about 17 years, just gets better and better. Oh, did I mention I had us on the coupon? Nice one! I’ll join your club. £20 on us to win and both teams to score returned £110. Pleasing. And you know you’re confident when you don’t take a £97 cash out offer on a £110 pay out with 5 minutes plus injury time to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Banjos Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 A lot of talk about the McShane / Flynn sub but I thought the Smith / MacKenzie was significant too. It says an awful lot about the depth of our squad when we can bring on somebody of the calibre of Gary Mac pretty much just to do a man-marking job at set-pieces for the last 10 minutes.

It's a completely fair comment My damning criticism of Baird was when he was making a lot of mistakes and costing us games. You say it like he's the only player I was frustrated with. I suppose again Lord Baird is untouchable for some. Zero inconsistencies. Stop. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Not read through this thread but see a debates ongoing about Baird. Baird was fantastic last night, man of the match and did almost everything right., even if you exclude the goal. His detractors are clutching at straws and preconceptions at this point. Kyle Magennis was also phenomenal. He ran Baird close and was surprised the also excellent Stevie McGinn got the nod for MotM ahead of him. We're exceptionally lucky that we have a central midfield who are all comfortable with taking the ball in close quarters and moving it on to other Saints players. That ability of rarely losing the ball in the middle of the park is a massive trait to have in a successful team and all of our central mids are very good at retaining possession and winning those 50 50s.

Feel free to have the last word afterwords as it seems important to you, but I'm out.

I actually thought Magennis only cane good when he moved inside. Thought he was having a very quiet game on the wing. But when he did move into the centre I thought he was brilliant.

davidg Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Baird has started 22 out of 23 games this season for the team that’s top of the league and lost only 4 games. He’s had a fantastic season, some dodgy moments (like every other player), but an amazing season and a few man of the matches in there as well. We don’t have a single player who hasn’t made mistakes but for some reason we always pick on the young centre half. He’s improving all the time and on current form his place in the starting 11 shouldn’t be questioned. Jack Ross seems to be getting the best out of him, not asking him to do things he’s not comfortable with. Let the others play football, pass it about and be creative. Previous managers have asked centre halves to play beyond their capabilities, with Jack he’s doing the simple things well and clearing his lines if in doubt. Gary Mac is rightly stuck sitting it out on the bench just now and only an injury or suspension will see him get back in temporarily.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Chris Sutton. I quite like him. I know he’s prone to being controversial for the sake of being controversial, but he talks a lot of sense and isn’t afraid to call things out. However, I thought he was guilty of typical lazy punditry last night when asked if our current team was good enough to compete in the Premiership. It’s fine to have an opinion on that and it’s fine to think that we’d need to beef up our squad a bit, but he lazily held out the Aberdeen game as some sort of evidence that we aren’t good enough at the moment to make the step up. What utter nonsense. Not only are Aberdeen one of the best teams in the top league, but we were utter mince that day and our ability to compete in the Premiership cannot be judged on that performance. We lost 4-1 to Morton earlier in the season. Does that mean we’re not good enough to compete in the Championship?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
