Find it hard to work out how Ian Murray communicates to our players during the game. When he does come down from the stand it seems he has a conversation with his assistant and that's it. So far we have been the poorest team on show at St Mirren Park this season.

Although we were 2 up at half time due to 2 very bad errors, I didn't think we were well ahead on performance. Second half was a different scenario, it looked as if only one team wanted to win and it wasn't Saints. I liked the initial link ups between Thompson and McMullen (wrong spelling?), a vast improvement than Thommo being isolated. After the wee man went off we lost our main threat up front. I have now seen Saints 4 times this season and the same issues stick out a mile ie we get overpowered in the midfield where both Agnew and Mallan show some nice touches, but are easily brushed aside. In defence the manager has to concede that Sean Kelly cannot defend and give the boy Stewart a run at left back. Also, IMO the lack of passion shown by our manager on the touchline is unbelievable. If we keep this up another relegation is on the cards.

Fantastic result, hope this is the start of a great season.

Don't have any problem with an area being reserved for standing. But, the vast majority of stadium should be retained for seating, remember why we have all seated venues...because lives were lost in the past.

Was at Douglas Park, highlight was pie and bovril

Just watched highlights. Not a penalty, but should have been a yellow for blatant dive. Def red for McManus, no contact with ball at all. The most obvious is the sending off. MacDonald looks where Reilly is and places his elbow in his face, no question a straight red.

Goodwin will be a big player for Saints next season.

Got to agree that win was sweet, especially when all the youngsters were on at the end. Thought Sadlier and Morgan were the difference in the final 10-15 mins. How Lasley stays on the park is a mystery. This season has been a BIG disappointment, but these kids give us hope for the future. SMTID

Before today's match I was in the camp not to give Gary job. But, the way he had these kids playing has me thinking he could be our man.

Fantastic goal today, being young he still gors for the "gold medal" pass etc. But he will be a big asset next yeah, just hope we can hold onto McGinn.

Wish we were playing this fixture on Friday night. Last games at Firhill on Friday nights have generated a fantastic atmosphere.

Yesterday's display could be taken as a one off. Prior to Saturday Kelly was at the top of my list to off-load. I will reserve my judgement for at least another two matches.

He's been a big disappointment

All the best for a quick recovery

IMO he has left due to the continual abuse he was getting on and off the park. Wish him well, he may not have been everyone's favourite, but you always got 100% from Marc MacAusland.

Still feeling a bit raw after Monday night, but one player who must go is Kellly. I could go into a lot of detail why but it would sound sooooooo bad.

We have to accept next season we will be competing in the Championship. At this time I don't have the answers, just so gutted.

I was a long supporter of our BOD, but they have to accept responsibility for our current dismal state.

Starting to make plans for Championship next season. Got to admit thought Teale would make a difference, but no better than Craig. The team selection today was sooooo poor. Why to do you have to sit and pass SFA badges to select such a poor team?

Where have I read/seen it before....Kelly out muscled, out jumped etc etc. Wylde not at the races. I thought Teale would be smarter, but no, the same old crap is being selected week in, week out.

Good shout.

IMO Gow was much better than I imagined. He showed a bit of class we have missed this season, albeit he is short of match fitness. He didn't hide and was an excellent foil with Thompson, who also looked more like his old self. John McGinn was also much better today.

On today's performance he looks excellent.

It was a much better experience in the main stand today thanks to the folks from hospitality. Just goes to show that if we had more attending hospitality the atmosphere in the ground would be much better. The sooner the club make hospitality more accessible (by reducing prices) to more fans the better, it must make a difference to the players. Let's get the fans bar up and running ASAP.

Doesn't Saturday night feel a whole lot better after a win. Today, at last we looked like a team who wanted a win and deserved a win. OK, the quality wasn't the best, but neither were the conditions. All of the new players showed they are much better than the players that have replaced. IMO Dayton is the pick of the new guys and the others not far behind. For our next match I would go with the same starters apart from Sadlier to replace Kelly.
