    BanburyBud got a reaction from BuddieinEK in Saint Mirren v Celtic 17 September 2022   
    Amazing how far they will go to make excuses!
    this guy lives in the town where I live, Banbury, and see him frequently at the local gym where he can be seen wearing a Celtic top!! I think that sheds some light on his perception. 
    Makes it even sweeeeeter 😀

    I agree Banbury Bud. Turn two of those draws into wins and our season would have looked very different. But, “what if” or “what might have been doesn’t change where we are. Recruitment for next season is clearly going to be pivotal and adding goals is a priority.

    A season that was in danger of imploding with the changes midway through has ended with some level of stability. 
    I think the fact that only the top three had less defeats (equal with Dundee United) but we have had the most draws, shows the fine margins of where we are. 
    the lack of cutting edge, as it has for a few seasons, is the only difference. 
    All in all can’t complain as we have proved that we can compete and are close to the next level

    A decent performance against a strong, physical livi. 
    we pressed well throughout and Gogic was once again immense. 
    good to see we have found our fighting and team spirit again. 
    the two lads up front work their socks off to their credit. 
    just lack that wee bit of quality and killer touch. 
    things are looking positive although Alnwick will be a big loss. 
    just to add I thought Ethan had a good solid performance tonight being more positive in his passing and tackling.

    In the cold light of day, we were playing a team who, like ourselves, were in free fall. I think they hadn’t won a game this year? A significant day for both sides and that three points have made a massive difference. 
    unfortunately I feel we are going to end up in a playoff which was inconceivable about a month ago.
    I am loathe to put this on the manager but his comments after the game are bizarre on so many levels. I can’t imagine how he thinks he can keep the players onside and motivated. He says what he likes and likes what he says and totally different, as someone pointed out earlier, to previous managers. 
    so many things have happened both with the team and behind the scenes recently which adds to worrying times. 
    We have scored two goals in each of our last two away games, coming from behind but end up with a 4-2 defeat (trying to find a wee positive there)
    Once again, as on many previous top flight seasons, we are looking over our shoulders…..

    I thought overall, and I don’t take any consolation from it, we contributed quite well to the game and scored two good goals of which one was extraordinary. 
    But we were all over the place for first 15 and last 20 minutes, after we equalised. 
    defending and midfield cover was our downfall tonight losing 4poor, poor goals. 
    I don’t believe, however, that we should be sniping at the manager at this stage, come on!
    I know it’s hypothetical but would Goodwin have won that game? Not so sure…..

    Great cup tie with us presently on the wrong end of the score line. Frantic start. Good interplay by Hearts. Kind of fortunate first goal. Decent second. We came into it and a great goal by Brophy.

    Fair play! No we weren’t brilliant and our lack of ability to take chances is eternally frustrating. 
    heads and confidence could have been shot heading towards four without scoring and having a, in my opinion, legitimate goal disallowed. 
    Pulled it out the bag and will happily take that

    It's been that type of season, remember before the enforced break we were stuttering along, so, like most teams, it's all about putting 2 or 3 results together and the season takes on a different look.
    Then again, 2 or 3 results the wrong way, gulp.

    Amazing the turnaround in a couple of weeks. Unbeaten this year then all of a sudden we are looking over our shoulder again a little bit. As usual didn’t expect anything from tonight, although still is always disappointing at the end. 
    I hope we manage to pick ourselves up for what are two vital games. 
    Hope too that the manager picks the right players for the task at the weekend.

    Potentially a fantastic bit of business by Saints, who have obviously done their homework, drawn up a shortlist, identified a preferred candidate and gone out of their way to get what they want.
    Nice to see us on the front foot and aiming high.

    Robinson speaks very well, is experienced in our league, and seems the perfect fit to take us up another step. [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

    I wouldn't write him off after a only few games up here billy,  seems to have hit a bit of form of late, if he can score goals in league one he can score here too. Top scorer in league with a bottom 4 club
    Don't think we'll see him up here mind as it won't have gone unnoticed down there either,
