The players have already proven a point - they're not good enough.

Take up croquet.

Is it too soon to start planning for next season in the Championship?

This debacle has brought the forum to life.

Calculators out.

Over defensive/defeatist attitude against a team who are not good enough to compete in Europe.

0-1 already Never mind, so long as we keep our shape. Power red carded - our shape will have to be adjusted.

And don't forget Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

But good enough for St Mirren?

same old .....

Aaron Mooy is another quality player who springs to mind who did not quite fit in for whatever reason at Love Street.

Gus always did have an eye for (St Mirren) quality players. However, Mahrez himself still seems a bit miffed that he was kept hanging on for a response from St Mirren. If only ............

I know it has been mentioned on here before, but how did we let Riyad Mahrez slip through our fingers in 2009? Especially when you see how he has performed in the two UEFA semi final legs against PSG when there were umpteen world stars on view between the two teams. You can now hear from the man himself how he missed the chance of a lifetime - https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-reactions-transfers-weird-the-story-of-riyad-mahrezs-failed-trial-at-scottish-side-st-mirren-20210505

Might be a useful option to have when our dinky little stadium is packed out at the end of Covid restrictions and the Buddies are regularly sitting in the top four as TF has promised.

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.

We started off without a striker - in fact we have played most of the season without a striker.

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.

We have played the season without a forward line.

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

It's obviously a much better game on Hesgoal than St Mirren TV and you're saving money!

That's the only way we will score playing the way we are.

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.

Why are we in our red away strip against the home team also playing in red?
