2-4...
Surely not. -
HT Motherwell 1-4 St Mirren
Woof.
One of the best halves of football I’ve ever seen from St Mirren. We’ve completely blown Motherwell away in their own back yard, deserve to be further ahead if anything.
Big Jon Obika causing absolute chaos in the Motherwell defence, they can’t deal with him at all. He’s scored 2 and was involved in the OG for the 3rd, immense performance from him.
Whole team been absolutely excellent though, the 4th from Foley is another fantastic goal from outside the box.
Don’t think we’re quite there yet though, if Well get an early goal second half it could be game on. If we keep playing as we are we will win by more
Just... wow. -

Free kick and Obika causing chaos in the box.
It’s hit off him and rolled delightfully into the corner.
Glorious.
Double figures for the season already! -
OBIKA!
The big man has done it again. -

1-1
Corner cleared to corner taker who runs back into the box and scores at the near post. Not sure if it took a deflection, first look thought Hladky could have done better. -
Yer man is at it again. Great ball Durmus, fantastic finish by...
OBIKA!
Fans singing his name and bouncing. What an atmosphere, what a player! -
FT 2-1
Disappointed but not surprised, Livi are a top 6 team.
Positives are that Hearts, Ross Co and Hamilton all lost by more than us so we’ve not lost any ground on them and our goal difference advantage over them is even bigger.
Good to see Obika back on the scoresheet again too, he’ll be an important player for us in the run in. -
Good fun, I was bored stiff all 2nd half as I have been at every st mirren match I've attended this season.
You need to find a new hobby bud. -
With an Irish manager and 2 Irish players - we are now applying 'Reilly's Law'.
Dispose of 2 defenders when we didn't really need to and then lose 2 defenders through injury.
And hey presto we have a crisis.
Surprise surprise!
Pretty hard to predict that in successive games our right back would have to leave the field injured, to be fair.
Not the kind of thing that happens often. -
FT 1-1
Yeah even game and draw a fair result. Quite good fun second half, wind and rain and tackles flying in. Good stuff. Nice goal from the Jak for our equaliser too, he looks a find.
4 draws in a row for us now. If nothing else we are certainly hard to beat. No reason we can’t get through the tie at Fir Park right enough, just might need extra time and penalties to do it. We also play there in the league next Saturday so we are going to have two games in a row in Motherwell within a few days of each other, might aswell move in. -
Hodson off - injured - Morais on.
-
Obika off - did well - Andreu on.
Let’s get the winner now. -
Turn and shot from about 12 yards on right hand side of the box. Think it took a deflection on its way in.
Either way, glorious.
Feed the Jak and the Jak will score! -
-
McGrath off - quiet - McAllister on.
Still 0-1. Wind blowing hard and game very scrappy. -
HT 0-1
Should have scored early doors but Durmus hit the post. Break of the ball and slow reactions from our defence meant Motherwell scored from a rebound.
Then we dominated the rest of the half. Couple of half chances and then a stonewall penalty denied. Cross coming in, hand up hand ball right in front of the linesman, play on.
Deserve to be level certainly, keep playing the way we are and we should get the equaliser. We have the wind behind us second half, which is certainly picking up. -
Stonewall penalty denied.
-
0-1.
Break of ball and one on one. Hladky saved first effort but rebound into net. -
Great work by Obika results in chance for Durmus, off the post.
Very positive start from us. -
Given the situation at the bottom and the way the game went, that’s certainly a much better point for us than Accies.
They’re still 3 points behind us with a much worse goal difference so need a 2 game swing to get above us, and we’re a point further away from bottom.
Even when we play poorly we are still a hard team to beat. Need to be changing these draws (that’s 3 in a row now) into wins though.
