Correction - we started and finished with no strikers.

Is there anyone on here who believes we should have finished above St Johnstone on merit over the season so far?

It's easy to be negative after a result like this - even if it was so predictable.
However, there is so much to be thankful for and hopeful about the future.
There's not a lot wrong with our defence and midfield and we have some of the best young prospects in the country.
JG has made huge improvements since he took over but we have been handicapped this season by injuries to players who could have improved our goal scoring potential.
And for once - we are not facing the prospect of relegation - at least not just yet.

A big mistake when we took off Erwin and set up to defend our lead after only 55mins !
All that did was encourage Accies to continue pressing and attacking us.
This was compounded when we took Obika off, and left us with no striker.
As someone else said earlier, we didn’t lose out on 6th place today, we lost it by not picking up enough points in those six home games in February.
Not sure how many of the remaining 5 matches we will win ...We started off without a striker - in fact we have played most of the season without a striker.

What the f**k is wrong with you people that you want to do this at all, never mind seconds after we've missed out by a hair?
Because it was so obvious to most people that we are a bit behind St Johnstone quality wise at this moment in time.
It was almost inevitable let alone predictable.

I hate to tell you ........
I'm afraid justice is done.

McAllister and Erwin playing well as is McGrath. Some nice touches all round. Tait and Fraser doing really well on the right.
So far, so good.
It's obviously a much better game on Hesgoal than St Mirren TV and you're saving money!

If there were games being played at the Racecourse - it would be difficult to find one of a poorer quality than this performance in the SPFL.

This is a more crucial game for us than it is for Hamilton.
If we lose we will not finish in the top six - if Hamilton lose they still have a chance of avoiding relegation, especially the way Kilmarnock are headed at the moment.
Assuming of course that St Johnstone are not defeated by Ross County

The only St Mirren related comment I can make is that in JG we now have the third longest serving manager in Scotland's top flight.

I thought it would have made sense to you of all people!
Is it not you who has been telling us relentlessly how sh*te we have been all season?

At the back of 2.00, I went to my allotments just to drop off stuff, to find some mad Cooncil bastard had mistakenly delivered a mountain of manure. That stuff is gold (ok, it's actually shite, but in horticultural terms... it's... er... priceless. OK - it's supplied for free but you get the picture...)
So I had no option. I was compelled to barrow several loads of it up to my compost heap.
Lovely, quiet, sunny day, but I was obviously miserably unhappy - especially as I seem to have a missed an amazing performance in Paisley with the lads racking up the points on the table!
Thanks for that table, albionsaint. A very pretty picture!
Hope no one interrupts my Alba viewing, later.
(or is that just more shite?)
Trust me - you are the lucky one.
Shovelling a 'mountain of manure' sounds much better fun than watching this game.
-
We could concede that we just 'suffered' another fluky victory.
However, the players' effort could not be criticised.
We were second best for practically the whole of the second half.
-
Note that of the 8 teams listed, we are the only team without a win in the past 5 games, apart from Kilmarnock who are on a downer.
-
If Quaner is fit and the rest of the team learn basic ball control and running off the ball - then there is still hope of a top six finish.
Instead it is likely that nothing much will have changed and we might scrape another 0-0 draw against Ross County.
-
That was a junior/amateur level display tonight - we were miles behind Motherwell in our performance. Could not control the ball - every loose ball was looped up into the air in blind hope. We could not string three passes together and were fortunate to come out of that with a point. Our striking options are so limited as things stand at the moment. No wonder Elvis has ended up as he is.

To the extent that we do not appear to have anyone other than JDH to win possession in the midfield.
